As Dave well knows, NOBODY loves "Honey."

Stop taking our wax, or else there will be some people with bee-stung lips, starting with this Kelly Ripa person.

After reading the article, I'm thinking this may not be the best Mother's day gift idea in the face of the Burger King offering.

Loved "Dad's idea of the perfect Father's Day" .. that would have fit my dad to a T: "gently farting the afternoon away." The really funny thing is that in his later years, he was totally deaf. Since he couldn't hear himself fart, he didn't think anyone else could, either. Sometimes he would let one go while he was talking and give a little satisfied grunt without saying "excuse me" and keep right on talking.
What can I say? I live with cavemen. At this stage of my life, I don't want "things", I want memories and shared experiences with my grown sons. They are busy (as if I don't understand that having a full time job keeps one busy), so I lower my expectations every year and "pretend to be pleased" because that's how I do.
Thanks, Dave.

Growing up in the 60s & 70s, Mother's Day gifts usually consisted of kitchen tools to make preparing meals for my Dad, 5 brothers & I easier for Mom.
I wish she was still with us, so I'd have a few do-overs to get something more personal and indulgent to express my thanks for all she did for us.
Mom was a practical lady and always expressed gratitude for a new mixer or crock-pot. She always put the family first. God bless the Moms no longer with us. 🙏

In Aukey's defense, at least they didn't recommend kitchen or laundry appliances.
I'm guessing that their suggestions for Father's Day are more along the lines of an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
@pharmaross, thanks for the sentiment. I lost Mom in October.

Taking Mom to lunch at Burger King (she'll probably pay) is the best idea ever!
