Bouquets for Mom.

 

 


Today's Tids Issue 6,057 

Picking up my shoes. 

 

It's easy to write poems 

About our old homes. 

Where everything always  

Seemed to be alright 

‘Cause moms were there,  
As the guiding light. 

 

If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way Mom told you to in the first place. 

 

I think that Iran is figuring out than many of their last gasp attacks are easily neutralized by the US. What doesn't show up on gartrellite photos is the regime’s deep-seated hatred for the west and Israel. And that will always be a problem about peace in that region.  

 

Nothing is really lost until your mother can't find it. 

 

The Question: 

Name the top five comic strip moms. 

 

The Headlines: 

Optimism Takes over WS Early; Stocks Rise with Hopes of US-Iran Peace and facts about US adding 115K Jobs; . 

--Global Cyber Attack by ShinyHunters Takes down major Academic Software “Canvas” Affecting Universities in US and Abroa.,  

--Panal of Federal Judges on Court of International Trade Vote Down Trump's Broad 10% Tariff as Illegal; 10% Tariff Move Was Trumpian Way Around Supreme Court Decision Against Tariffs. 

--The Pentagon Releases UFO Materials as Promised. 

--DoJ Probing $2.6 Billion in Oil Bets Placed Just Before Trump Announcement of Iran War Start.  

--Crypto Slump Has Coinbase Lsing Money for Second Straight Month. 

--New Rule to Take Effect Would Allow Sending Guns Through USPS; Antis up in Arms. 

 

Guns though the mail?? 

 

One grammatical mystery --  “Deep Seeded" or “Deep Seated?  So, deep seeded sounds natural doesn’t it – plant seeds deep for strong roots, But that is always wrong in grammar land. Its Deep seated.  

 

Mother’s creed: Silence is golden. Unless you have kids. Then it is suspicious. 

 

They are making a big deal about releasing UFO data from the hidden US files. I suspect it won’t tell us any more than we have known for decades.  

 

There may be a fire exploding across tech regions as companies burning through cash with hopes of beating each other to the AI golden payout. Yet, in reality, there is no customer base that comes close to matching the enormity of the spending. The next big Q: Which companies will fall by the wayside. 

 

The big Celeb announcement this week was that the Lively-Baldoni abuse case was settled between the two parties... except for the small snafu that Lively still wants damages and lawyer fees paid. Huh? Snafu – Situatiion nomal, everything FU. But then, it is Hollywood. 

 

The RI speaker just resigned primarily to seek the open Supreme Court Justice. That would give him a much higher pension and job for life, even though House Speaker is the most powerful position in RI.  This speaker still has a $4.7 Million campaign war chest. He says he’s thinking about what to do with it. By the way, the new speaker is a well-known progressive. That will assure the state of remaining at the bottom of the barrel for businessThey’ll raise the minimum raise to compensate for the lack of good jobs, No problemo. 

 

Sunday is the day we all thank mom for many years of womb and board. 

 

I remember vowing never to submit myself to the melee of Mother's Day Brunch buffets. But then I remember never wanting to leave because mom is having such a good time watching her children eat everything on their plates. 

 

The Answer: 

Teh consensus among comic afficionados is Calvin's Mom (Of Calvin and Hobbs) was saintly in the way she handled Calvin. Next has to be Jeffery's mom in Zits, Connie Duncan. And there is the Iconic mom of all time who has seen it all - Blonde. The toughest Mom is Mammy Yokum. The rest are Wanda McPherson (Baby Blues), Andy Fox (Foxtrot), Elly Patterson (For better or for Worse), Alice Mitchell (Dennies the Meance), Nancy DeGroot (Luann), Telma Keane (Family Circus) and Lois Flagston (Hi and Lois).  

 

I don't know why I Like this song below, but I always have. This version is particularly well done. Actually, I like thousands of songs and almost all kinds of music, (If it has a tune) 

 

Have a Great Mother’s Day, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!! There;s always a memory.
