This forum has become a disappointment to me, there are no real complaints. My mom really knew how to state a grievence, even if it was directed at her own, in front of relatives and guests. She could lay into a person and walk away before anyone had a chance to defend themself - those were the days.
And what was amazing she did it sober!
She is gone now, and the world is a little bit better place for it.
To the Festivus in all of us!
