Then forget about it for this and all future times. If he blows it, it's not your problem. Once he gets a grip on the concept, then you both can trade off/do favors if you're really busy, you work right next to a mall, etc.

One step ahead of ya -- for Easter I sent cards out (with pics of the Little Fan) and said "hey, I left some of Little Fan's pics for ya in case you wanna send them to your mom and dad or something. Easter cards too." He got the hint, who knows if it will stick. Is it rude to stop sending cards to people who never, not for any occasion, have sent me a fucking card??

No. It's just an easy way to save $2.50 and an innocent tree that would have to die to make and send the thing.

Martha Stewart's been disgraced--it's okay to lighten up with that crap.

I'm sorry if I pissed anyone off today with the edits. I wasn't being power-hungry, I was just trying to spare people from having to scroll left to right to read the forums. I would never edit the content or words of anyone's posts, I just want you all to know that. If someone has a problem with me trying to keep pictures that are posted from being a nuisance, I will stop resizing them and we can let people post all the 1024x1024 pixel images that they want.

And the crack towards Less was said tongue in cheek. If there was an obvious spammer, I would let leagl handle it.

No, it isn't rude. My mother "forgot" my birthday having decided I didn't exist thus negating the need, in her mind, to ever acknowledge my birthday ever again. I reciprocated and never sent her another card, present or acknowledged her existence.

Went nuts, threatening to sue, spittle flying, etc., etc.

Bilmore... you left out the best part: Fruitcake in the edwardian tuxedo's submission to Plated's secret court of justice.

I almost forgot all about that.

Good times. Good times.

Seriously, no. My compensation is not page-hit driven. As Thurgreed alluded to, I am just lazy, and it is easier to link than to cut and paste. In the future, though, I will try to consider the delicate sensitivies of people that don't want done here what they did there.

Thanks MR.

And really folks, you need to understand how much effort Mr has put into the site, most of it unacknowledged.

He remains the key to keeping the site running smoothly, whenever there is a problem he is on top of it, and/or I immediately go to him for his assistance.

He's not power hungry, he simply was messing around with Less and trying to make the board more readable, he certainly didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, and he never would have removed Less or anyone's links without talking with me or Slave first.

There has to be an alternate holiday for those of us with either Mommy Dearest-moms or gone moms. I suggest the Mommy Dearest victims take yourselves out for a fantastic dinner, pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate your survival skills, and have a day of total relaxation, pampering, and self-indulgence.

Me, my mom's deceased, so I'm lighting a candle for her for that 24 hours, buying a big bunch of her favorite flowers to enjoy, and making a pitcher of her favorite margaritas to drink in her honor.

Geez, people, stop trying to take my job!

The only power I have here is editing political spam and fixing code.

It's what I live for . . .

Only slightly more painful than my imaginary knee burns.

Yeah, you suck. You better get your mom a really good present.

I am fairly certain I will get one of two gifts I have hinted about lately. The DeLonghi Retro toaster oven that Bilmore thinks I won't use:

or Xena: Warrior Princess Season One on DVD:

It doesn't matter which, though, because I'm just going to by the other for myself. I'm kinda hoping for the toaster, because Xena, while she had many skills, wasn't really a super mom.

She probably had a toaster oven.

Thanks PJ. Good suggestions. My mother did the ultimate: she died on Valentine's Day. Now, Mr. Fubu and I never enjoy this day as it should be enjoyed. However, I feel a great relief that the b***h is finally outta our lives.
