I'll bet YOUR Mom has her Momerisms

Well, it was just another Wednesday and I opened up my email to find over 100 emails — 5 of them from Mom alone. Each and every one of them was about something funny. My mom has become notorious for her momerisms throughout the years. You see, I think she has a terrific sense of humor and can tell a really good story. She’s a bit of a storyteller — I didn’t inherit the verbal storytelling abilities from her. I did inherit the ability to write though!

As I was browsing her emails, I noted that these were pretty funny — and thought I’d create a lens to honor my mom and her momerisms!

Update: This just in from Mom — Today is International Disturbed People’s Day! Please send an encouraging message to a disturbed friend… just as I’ve done. Oh, thanks Mom! I needed that.

Momerisms -- A Sense of Humor

Momerisms A Sense of Humor

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,
"Al, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the interstate.
Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Al. "It's hundreds of them!"

Momerisms In Memoriam


Momerisms -- In Memoriam!
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at
the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very
important person, which almost went unnoticed last week
Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "TheHokey Pokey", died
peacefully at age 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him
into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the
trouble started.

Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts

I was just reading that Susan Gunelius wrote a blog post about this very lens topic. It seems that Dunkin' Donuts sponsored the research study through A&G Research to return the conclusion that more "hard working Americans" prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee over Starbucks. Well, you don't get any more 'hard working' than JaguarJulie. And, JaguarJulie thinks Starbucks has the best coffee.

My ex-hubby was always telling me that Dunkin' Donuts is the Starbucks of the Northeast. I don't know about that as I haven't visited the Northeast lately ... how about you? Starbucks OR Dunkin' Donuts?

So you want a good cup of coffee or a donut? For me, it's a good cup of coffee and it's 5 STARS for Starbucks!

Why Coffee?

Especially these two well-known brands?

Would you believe that I started drinking coffee when I was about ten years old? At that time, there weren’t any Starbucks coffee shops. And, it was usually just a good old cup of java – nothing fancy except do you want it black or with cream and sugar.

I’ve also drunk my java with a little cream and some popular sweetener, not sugar. It seemed that was the only way I could start my day – and normally, I went for the stronger brews.

In the beginning, I remember Maxwell House, Folgers, and Chase & Sanborn. Sometimes, grandma would serve the instant which never tasted right. Other times, she had the old electric percolator brewing.

The first time I had a cup of Starbucks coffee I thought it was interesting tasting and rather strong. Later, in my coffee drinking life, I learned to compare other coffees to that taste. In the end, I found Dunkin’ Donuts was a bit too mild for my tastebuds. I always kept coming back to Starbucks.

How about you?
