I'll shop for a gift on September 28. Mom: My daughter has been VCR'd!! Cathy: Mom?? Mom: You've been trained by your VCR to think you can choose when to experience everything! In the old days, TV shows were watched when TV shows were on. Birthdays were celebrated on the day of birth...remember? Cathy: We're busier now, mom.

So, if you procrastinate for 50 weeks, does that mean you end up right on time for when the event comes round again?I can see that working!

HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

This is why I carry a real calendar in my purse containing all the dates I need to remember . . . and remember them ON TIME too! I consult it every Sunday to see if there’s anything coming up during the week that I need to do, buy, mail, etc. It’s like a little “bible” to me that I would be absolutely lost without — especially since my memory these days isn’t as good as it used to be!!!!!

Hi, rgcviper!
