Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

On this 100th anniversary of Mother's Day, the woman credited with creating one of the world's most celebrated holidays probably wouldn't be pleased. In her later years, Anna Jarvis wrote scathing letters berating people who purchased greeting cards, saying they were too lazy to write personal letters "to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world."

Grump.

Must call mom.

Hallmark would send her a 'thank you' card

Screw a card, pancakes and eggs in bed with a garnish of roses while I take the kids out to the park for a couple hours.

I never bothered sending cards. I used to visit instead.

Given the current state of Christmas, Jesus can probably relate.

I have just the passage Christians can send their mother.

While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.
But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?"
And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers!
For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Matt. 12:46-50, Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21)

Ray also a nice passage proving that there was a female disciple.

Can we change it to MILF day?

You ol' sentimentalist you.

My son, daughter-in-law, and I came up with some tuned windchimes and a brimiliad. Major league hit.

Can we change it to MILF day?

After the kids go to bed we plan to :)

from the article:

Anna Jarvis wrote scathing letters berating people who purchased greeting cards, saying they were too lazy to write personal letters "to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world."

Anna Jarvis is 100% right.

And DO NOT just send your Mother an email today, please.

Call your Mom and let her hear your voice.

It's only 5 minutes out of your life. Don't put it off for another couple days or figure you'll call her next week. You may wake up one day and find out your chance to talk to her is gone forever.



Call your Mother
