I wrote some posts at other sites... here is one from last night that sums up the best part of my Bday...

I wrote several posts on other sites regarding my birthday as it relates to Mum. Ya see, she's the one that did all the work. All I did was cause her pain and start screaming... been at that ever since eh? >;-)

I have just come from one and I snipped this from yesterday and today. It is rather personal but I feel it is worth sharing, if for nothing else than it makes ME feel good about today...

I am delighted with my plan. Mum is 87 and not so well. She is saddened by the fact that she can't get me something for the big day. She is having a more than usual bad day today, so... I went shopping for birthday presents for Mum. I got 2 pairs of PJ pants, 6 pairs of HD socks and Kaspersky 2014 Pure 3.0. I put the items in one a them there gift bags what I got at the Dollar Store and covered it with the fancy white paper. I will take the bag to Mum's tomorrow AM and act real surprised like when I open up the bag and say things like "OMG! JUST WHAT I WANTED! HOW DID YOU KNOW?! AND SOCKS! AND KASPERSKY!!! I love you, Mum. Thanks." I hope she gets a laugh out of it.

Yesterday, as I usually do on her and my Bday and at Kissmeass, I gave her two dozen roses, white and red, a big hug and a 'thanks for looking after me' for, well, this year it will be 57 years and nine months. Hmmm... part of that should be 'putting up with me' I suppose.

Today... I made her laff when I opened my gifts. Best Bday present ever.

Thanks for the good wishes, the PMs, the emails, the phone calls...
