....don't mix. Just ask me and I'll tell you. Since she retired, mom has taken up a new hobby. I know, it doesn't sound like a bad thing but you just don't know *sigh*. She writes letters. To companies. Local companies, national companies, it doesn't matter. Mom will write a letter. Her mission in life is to make sure they know when she's displeased. Period. Mom even went so far as to write to a local television station after she got HD service on her tv. Not so bad you say? Riiight. Mom complained that one of the newscasters was too old to be on tv and her make up looked horrible. She came upon this realization when she saw the newscaster for the first time in HD. Soon after that, the newscaster announce her retirement. I think mom is taking credit for it.
Mom also has discovered the joys of social networking.... except she calls everything a "blog"
"Velv... did you see what XXXXX wrote on their blog?"
"I had no clue XXXXX had blog!"
"Yes they do! You know... on the facebook!"
"Oh... you mean their wall...."
Now I get...
"did you see what XXXXXX wrote on their wall blog?"
So basically it boils down to this: Anything that she can respond to on a website is a "blog". As long as I remember this little fact I can translate mom-->modern technology!
