When I broke up with my ex, my Mother bought me a thunderbird

[Roon]

she doesn't remember. Who doesn't remember spending a 1000.00 on your adult child? She's a freeper, but she's pretty cool.

1. Wow....Does your Mother need a Daughter?

;)

2. LOL!

She has since gone to part time..she told she would have been very aware these days. :-)

3. When I broke up with MY ex...

.
...I needed more like $20,000 of Miller Lite. And
MiddleFingerMomMom didn't spring for a single
six-pack of it.
.
I hope either $1000.00 or "a Thunderbird" is a
typo -- that stuff's like $1.89 a bottle, innit?

4. Where the word is Thunderbird...

And Heaven's a drink of wine
He'll bring your soul in from the cold
If you can spare the time

5. What's the word?

What's the word?
Thunderbird
How's it sold?
Good and cold
What's the jive?
Bird's alive
What's the price?
Thirty twice

6. When I left my ex-husband, my parents

sent me a check to cover the security deposits for rent and utilities on my own place, along with a note that said without saying so, "We told you so when you were 20. Go be happy now."

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. VERY nice.

.
If they're still around, you should hug them out of the blue
for that, and when they ask why... just say "Thanks" without
any further explanation.

8. That's what I do.

That's the only time in my adult life I've really needed my parents' help and they stepped up without me asking and did it in a very gentle way. I absolutely have the best parents on earth. Very, very lucky, me.
