Just dropped by to say hi, and also got the benefit of Rainey's jokes.

OK I'll stop with the madness. Promise I won't mention how my mother spent 10 minutes pushing buttons on the TV remote and screaming for help, insisting it was plugged and nothing was wrong only to find out there were no batteries in the remote. And I won't tell you how my mother spent 30 minutes on the phone complaining to the washing machine company for selling her a washing machine that didn't work and demanding they come and fetch only to find out she hadn't plugged it in And I won't mention my own hubby's blond moment just yesterday. He says to me "there's a picture on the net of an F-18 from Roosevelt flying over Afghanistan. I thought she was going to the gulf not the coast of Afghanistan." I replied "dear Afghanistan is land locked, there is no coast" to which he responded "I wonder how they got the planes there then." Yeah I just walked away.

Glad you are laughing. Here's a blond moment that will go down in my family history for you.

We're sitting watching the Indy 500 in May and right at the start the power goes off here, 2 hour power failure. So I'm freaking out. My dad tells me not to panic it's a long race I won't miss too much. My mother says the following. 

Mother: "why don't you record it, that way you won't miss anything"

Me: "I beg yours"

Mother:"record it on the VCR, you don't need the TV on, I've done it before. You just push record on the VCR and it will record whatever is coming through on the satellite signal and you can leave the TV switched off"

Me:"You're right I can do that IF I HAD POWER TO THE VCR."

Mother:"But it's coming from America, they have power, can't you still record even if we're having a blackout"

Me:"You really are a natural blond aren't you." At this point my dad is on the floor in tears he's laughing so hard. I'm shaking my head wondering if it's too late for a DNA test and my mother finally realizes how idiotic she's being.

Afternoon. Hope you're having a good Sunday.

Today's joke is genuine it actually happened and I was there to see it. I admit I took advantage of the situation to have a little fun.

My mother was sitting in front of the PC looking at the keyboard and reading aloud each key. I walked up to her.

Me:"what the heck are you doing"

Mother:"I'm looking for the any key."

Me:"You're doing what"

Mother:"It says press the Any Key so I'm looking for it."

Me:"There is no Any Key, it says press any key, as in your choice, take your pick. If you want you can hit the backspace key, just look over your shoulder first then press it."

My mother looked over her left shoulder then pressed the backspace key and happily called out "hey it worked"

Yes I know I'm terrible but it was funny as hell at the time.
