Only once a year… How about observing it every day?
every day is mother’s day for us 🙂
If you haven’t observed the other 364 days, then you’d better observe the 1.
That’s what I always say, but it still is nice to be treated EXTRA-special.
Why should Jews not observe it? It’s not a religious holiday.
There’s nothing wrong with making a day special for your mom. As a matter of fact, it’s probably “kibud em” to do something nice for her on Mother’s day (or any other day that you want to designate for your mom). It’s not like you don’t love/appreciate/respect her all year round.
I treat Mrs. YW Moderator-72 very special on Mother’s Day. after all she takes care of all the jr-72s.
here’s is what I do:
I prepare breakfast – usually scambled eggs with onions and potatoes (coffee also) After breakfast, I start working on lunch – nothing to heavy.
for dinner, i go with an old standby, I grill hot dogs and hamburgers on the foreman grill, I through on some vegetables (onions, peppers and such)and deep fry french fries.
Of course, all the pots and pans as well as the plates and utensils I insist that she wait until Monday to wash them. I let her wash the grill on Sunday as it it easier to wash while it is still hot.
72, you mean you don’t wash them all yourself??
moish01: isn’t it enough that I make the meals for myself that day so she only has to worry about herself and the kids?
ames: I buy Mrs. YW Moderator-72 a lovely assortment of scratch-off mother’s day lottery tickets (a few from NY and a few from NJ)
ha funny.
silly question ames. I give her pre-scratched ones so she doesn’t have to go searching for a coin (very considerate of me, wouldn’t you agree) 0h… and this way, I can cash the winners for her and give her some of the cash…
LOL 72 🙂
Don’t know what you consider expensive but some ideas that I’ve gotten for my Mom…
Perfume:(I think it’s her favorite gift) $70+
(Wooden) Salad bowl with matching serving spoon and fork: $40
Flowers: (I’m not sure that’s so personal) $20
Mother’s Day Card: (It’s a good cop out idea if you have no idea..) $3
I think she’ll feel good just being thought about, no matter what you get and how much you spend…
if I kept it religiously, I would let her start washing the dishes an hour or so after shkiah…
wow corn alert!
why moish? I thought that was really good 🙂 but a little overdone on the oil (kapish?)
72, LOL!

BYM, do you go to school? how were you able to post 6 hours ago? (I think I’m getting jealous. 🙁 )
is that why they let you go to convention? They figured you weren’t there anyway, so they weren’t missing much? 😉
as for my idea…
I heard once something like giving a card saying something like free pre-cooked supper, or free shabbos flowers, etc., able to be redeemed at any time.
ames: you deserve the award for most threads you created!
72: wow very impressive! your mother must be proud!
ames: i’m keeping score & i’m positive you have! it’s really a great thing!
ames, good job!
ames: or your just really creative with coming up with threads! 😉
please bring this to the general shmooze thread. and bring this back on track to Mother’s Day
any ideas for fathers day? its graduation day for me…
actually you need the idea for a graduation gift, would you like a list of what I like? 😉
I was trying to make some more interesting conversation, sorry. However, you are welcome to discuss what you are buying me for graduation. 😉
carrots, celery, a little mayo..
72: i just burst out laughing!
and some sugar… or should I say xylitol (is that right?)
…or for a change we could stuff her with meat & rice
time to shift again to general shmooze ya all!
kapusta: i don’t think so. but maybe partly. i just know that’s in my father’s recipe but i don’t pay much attention cuz i don’t eat cabbage.
AOB, my father will not make stuffed cabbage without rice and he’s as hungarian as they come.
how about:
-spa gift certificate(we did that one year)
-Ipod(fully loaded, mom loved that one)
-jewelery(but not too costy-recession)
-GPS(she she doesn’t call ya while driving for directions)
-apron(to stay in budget)
-new pots
-camera
-gift certificate to her fave store
-take mom out to dinner
-flowers
-blow up some nice family pictures & frame them in nice frames
liked any of these ideas?
-GPS(she she doesn’t call ya while driving for directions)
from the memoirs of Jax, SuperSon! 😉
maybe be a wonderful daughter the whole year, seems like shes always getting a gift. Thats what I do. 😉
kapusta; i know, i’m just the greatest son ever! 😉
kapusta, lol. its called AP exams.
just this week ive been taking off a lot. a lot of studying to do!
BYM, you took AP? I’m so proud! Yea, I know, my friends are not only taking off, but getting off from the school! (I think!)
we dont quite get off from school…..but ya. its my 5th ap so im used to taking off a lot of school! of course i enjoy it too, i get to post here…
BYM, taking it to general shmooze.
how about a digital photo album?
WAIT-A-MINUTE… MOTHER’S DAY IS TODAY? WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO REMIND ME… certainly explains the cool reception that I have been getting all day…
Hi Ma!
Happy Mothers Day!
Thank you Sweety, Next Time just pick up the phone and call your mother!
Oh you know he never calls us. He always is stuck on his computer all day.
Ames, don’t be so concerned about it.
ames: i think we have more mods than members right now 🙂
I told you that chavrusa he had in 3rd grade was a bad influence. Do you see it now or are you still in denial?
By the way, I’m sure the feminists in the CR would love to know why the editor’s father is 60 higher than his mother.
