My Mom Buck graciously babysat for me today so I could work at a bazaar selling hair bows. My Mom Buck was given a cell phone for her birthday this past April, due to many unexplainable events this cell phone is never in working order. We do not have a land line so prior to my departure I logged into her gmail account so she could email me with any questions or concerns while I was away. This system actually worked pretty well and I was able to identify where the coloring books were via email. Upon my return home I went to log her out of her gmail account, she quickly pointed out several I should not open because they were viruses. I also noted she had over 3,000 emails.
Me: "Do you know you have over 3,000 emails in your account?"
Mom: "Oh I thought you never had to do anything with the ones you have read"
Me: "Why don't you delete the ones you don't want or need any longer?"
Mom: "Oh I don't know how to eject emails"
Guess she is not the "internet wizard" my Grandma commonly refers to her as.

Vegas Cautions
My apologies for the lack of posts, but as my Mom Buck has stated several times it is going to be really hard for me to get any material as she is really "melancholy in the fall". This statement has proven NOT to be true, but out of respect for my Mom Buck I have not posted many of the recent events that would have made great posts out of specific requests from the star of the show.
That being said I will carry on with some cautions my Mom Buck offered prior to a recent trip to Vegas...
Mom: "Laura, you keep a very close eye on your drinks, you don't want anyone putting rubbies in it"
Me: "I think you mean ruffies"
Mom: "Whatever it is called I am not kidding, you don't leave Eric's side"
Me: "Okay" with a hint of normal sarcasm.
Mom: "Now you stay right next to Eric the entire time you are there"
Me: "Okay" with much sarcasm.
Mom: Sterner this time, "I meant it Laura, with you two cute girls wandering around some pimp could steel you and put you right into prostitution!"
Me: "Right"
Mom: Lighthearted now, "Love you and have fun!"
