I am a bad, cheap son.
Earlier this week, I was ordering Mother's Day flowers for my mom on Proflowers.com. The flowers were $29.99 and came with a free vase. Sounded good to me. But when I got to the Confirm Order screen, I noticed a $9.99 shipping fee. I closed down the window and put my credit card away.
Mom will just be getting a phone call this year.

I bought my mom a giant novelty card I saw in QuickMart after a few beers. It was really funny at the time, and only $6. Then it cost me another $8 to ship it!
"That's all right, dear." (heavy sigh) "Just hearing your voice is present enough for me."
You mean it's Mother's Day? I'll give my mom a card and my wife another card.
um. i'm worse than you. i do not believe in this commercialized "holiday"... but i did ask my mom if i could drive home to see her. she emailed me back saying (no lie): "let me get back to you on that!" ... um, i am the only offspring who lives in the same state as her. the other three live across the nation. i do not work at any of my 3 jobs tomorrow and i do want to spend it with her. but until i get that email back giving me the heads up, i will most likely be eating Chinese food again and watching crap movies on LIFETIME.
lol.
i went to "flowers 4 less," about 15 minute drive away from me..
dozen roses for $14 bux, not too bad. they werent arranged nicely or anything but I can do that myself.
that made me laugh though. I would have promplty closed the window too. at first I was just going to give my mom a hug, but my sister drag me along to go buy some flowers.

Hey just found your site. You're great...it's like looking in a mirror. Sorta. Because I'm a girl and if I looked in a mirror and saw a guy, I'd probably cry.
Anyway, you're really funny.
