What makes a rose bush bug proof?

 

[Robinrs]

I believe she picked her nose and ate it once in a meeting with a client.

Gee, most kids go out of their way to buy the wrong color corsage, the wrong color rose bush that bugs like and select bbq sauce that their mother hates on Mother's Day... don't they?

Silly me, buying my mother a religious statue, that she loved. I should have tried harder and gotten her something with which she'd be unhappy.

Oh, but my Mom would like anything that we'd give her or do for her. She doesn't ask for anything and appreciates everything. Maybe MI should stop asking for things and she'd be pleasantly surprised.

I don't know...if she was MY mother, I probably would

Sound like MAYBE a DIL purchased everything!

What makes a rose bush bug proof?

Silk,,, or plastic (honestly, on one of the home shows this weekend, some homeowner had "planted" a silk flower garden outdoors).

 

[Deb in IA]

I finally looked at her and told her she should be happy her sons were still around to celebrate with her. I haven't heard anything from her since.

Or that they would even want to spend any effort for such an unpleasant, unhappy person . . . mother or not.

 

[gypsydoodlebug]

Asked her how her Mother's Day went. She grimaced at me and said "All right"

ME - Did you get your carnation corsage?

Miss Info - Yes but they were the wrong color.

ME - Did your son grill chicken for you?

Miss Info - Yes, but he used bbq sauce that I don't like

ME - Did you get the rose bush you wanted?

Miss Info - I got a rose bush but that too was the wrong color and it's not bug proof.

5 minutes with Bella, and MI would be straightened out. I can put her on a plane tomorrow a.m., Claire!

Hey, don't be so quick to judge! My silk flower arrangements in my railing baskets on my front porch and in my hanging baskets look great! They require NO watering and they still look as beautiful in July as they do now. When I planted real flowers, I'd keep forgetting to water them and they'd die. Not to mention that we'd have to find someone to take care of the real flowers when we'd go away.

One of my neighbors started doing this and you can't tell that they aren't real until you get up close. It's become a neighborhood thing because of the beauty and ease.

Now, we don't plant them in the ground, nor do any of our neighbors, but in baskets and planters they look lovely.

I'd pick that cutie up in a minute. You might not get her back though!!

The people across the road and down a ways. They have this garden out front with painted rocks and everything. FIlled with fake flowers.

It would work for me, too. I am afraid of bees.

 

[mirthmaiden]

I think it is the point that he calls her every single day at 8 am and the fact that she only calls him son, never by his name.

Reminds me a lot of Norman Bates.

She got mad at me last week and "accidentlally" deleted my work. How it was accidental is beyond me, considering you need to hit Delete, then f9, then Yes to delete. All because I gave her a teensy review comment after I reviewed her work.

Pay close attention - people like that don't forget grudges.

I believe she picked her nose and ate it once in a meeting with a client. O...M....G! You have got to give us the daily dish on this one. What did the client do? Shake hands after the meeting ended?

Asked her how her Mother's Day went. She grimaced at me and said "All right"

ME - Did you get your carnation corsage?

Miss Info - Yes but they were the wrong color.

Oh, I feel so terrible for that poor guy. Maybe he should just give mom his cc# and let her make all the arrangements for her own birthday/mother's day/Christmas. I'll bet she'd still find something to complain about.

 

[Poohbear123]

Are REALLY REALLY nice, you cannot tell the difference. And they ARE bug Free!

 

[Mouse House Mama]

We were talking about Mother's day this morning. She is going to her son's house Saturday. He had BETTER have a carnation corsage for her, he had BETTER have chicken on the grill for her, he had BETTER have bought her the gift that she told him she wanted. On and on.

I finally asked her what would happen if he didn't comply with her demands. (Yes I said to her demands)

She would pick up her purse and go home. It's Mother's Day and she is the Mother.

Oh how I bit my tongue.

Oh she's a Mother alright!!!

MisInformation sounds like such a delightful person. She is that ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

 

[Evil Genius]

Talking to her nephew in California. (On the company phone of course.) Keep in mind that she speaks loud enough for people 3 cubes over to hear her so I'm not eavesdropping.

Miss Info - What are you doing this weekend....THE MUSHROOM FESTIVAL!! WTH is that. Don't you know that only (insert derogatory names for people from eastern european block countries here) go to those sort of things?? Can't you find something else to do?

A little more chatter (actually whining about Mother's Day)

Miss Info - So have those fires started out there yet? Really? We haven't heard anything about them here. All they talk about here is the ones in Florida. And ya' know they're not on the coast or anything, there all over. I don't get why it hasn't rained in Florida. It all ways rains there.

More chatter and then an I'll call you again tomorrow and she hangs up.

There are no words. Really, this woman must have SOME redeeming quality. Maybe?

 

[Kath2003]

Why would Eastern Europeans attend a mushroom festival?

I am from eastern european descent and I gotta tell ya' my grandparents and my dad ate ALOT of mushrooms. Personally, I can barely tolerate them.

Of course you're also asking for logic from Miss Information.
