Yes, I'm saving the Ralph Peters stuff. He seems to be well grounded. I am printing them off and sending them to my Mother.

Mom and I had quite a conversation on the phone last week. She is FNC deprived, and was ranting about the Columbia U. prof,,, she was quite unhappy with the stance taken by CNN. (If she would part with some of her moldy money for enhanced satalite service, she could get Fox, but she remembers the Great Depression and can't bring herself to spend).

I had never heard my Mother so totally outraged. She used words I've never heard her use. She would be an excellent Freeper. Anyway. I'm sending her the Peters articles,, plus the list of Who will benefit from Saddam staying in power.

When she reads 'the List',,, she will surely deny her German heritage. She already dislikes the French, and the list will only add fuel to that fire.

One of God's greatest gifts is to know your parents as adults. What a hoot. She's finally letting loose.

Thanks for telling me about sending Ralph Peters to your Mom. It inspired me to send them to Nina, I think she'll enjoy them too.

You're right about being able to spend time with parents as you both age. My Father-in-law let loose with a curse word while telling a WWII story recently. My husband almost fainted. ;-) Hubby had never ever heard his dad use language like that. Mr. B is really enjoying spending more time with his dad, it's become a very special time for them.

Sometimes we have to take the bull by the horns and get our parents stuff that they need: see microwave ovens, telephone answering devices, garage door openers, cell phones and Fox News.

Cheers.
