Count your blessings!
I've learned that, with kids....with anyone, you have to ask for exactly what you want! They're happier (I've found that boys usually are, anyway), and you get exactly what you want...which is really cool!!! I asked to have my carpets shampooed once, and guess what I got??? Clean Carpets!!!! Beat the heck out of having to do it myself. And don't horn in on the job, unless they ask for your advice!![]()

OK, FoRTers, I have an assignment for you!
My mom is turning 60 at the end of the month and I want to put an announcement in the paper. I only have recent pictures of her, but I may be able to dig up one from her childhood somewhere...but I'm having a hard time coming up with a witty/snarky blurb to write with it. I remember Newf mentioned a few good zingers awhile back....
Pretty much anything goes, my whole family has an incredible sense of humor.
Thanks!
Don't let the small things sweat
Just make sure they are "nice" zingers. I'm sure she's lived long enough to have earned those!![]()

How about "Mom looks pretty good for 80! Happy 60th!"

I knew everything at 18, and know nothing at 41.
I'm happier knowing nothing.
I like the idea of a personals ad.![]()
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
You know how people try to get cutsie with "Lordy, lordy look who's 40?"
Well, how about "Break out the whiskey, look who's 60!"
