Mom I love you, but are you trying to screw with me?! (minor)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Okay I come to Rhode Island. Forget to pack my wireless router. Which was dumb, but it happens. It’s only temporary and I didn’t take all my stuff and left some behind.

Anyway I ask my mom if she’ll mail it to me. Sure she mailed it today she says. Finally a month later she mails says she mailed it, and actually meant it this time. I believed her. So I watch the mail box in deep anticipation. I mean a wireless router isn’t super imortant and I could honstly live happy life without it, but dang it. Being tetthered by a 5 foot eithernet cable to my roomies comp sucked. So I was looking forward to it in a major way. Spent everyday this week setting on the steps waiting for the mailman just in case today was the day.

Finally today… There’s a letter from my mom!, but no router size package… maybe she mailed em separate and it’ll be here soon I think.

However opening the letter, there was a few dollars for birthday money (yay!), and cuircuit board from a usb to ide adaptor.

:smack:

I’m gonna go lay down and pretend that didn’t just happen now.

Until you get your router, you can buy a 15’ ethernet cable from Big Lots for $4.99.

old people r so stoopid LOLOLOL

If it was your dad, he would have sent you some kind of drill bit.

The privation which children today endure is truly moving. Is there a charity I could donate to help prevent this sort of thing from happening?

One time, my mom was having trouble fitting a new video card into the PCI slot. So she hit it with a hammer.

It actually worked.

Hey, he said himself that it was minor, and if someone tells me they’re going to do something, I get a little bent out of shape when they don’t do it, too.

You might want to get this moved to MPSIMS, snetplit, where it will get a better reception. It’s not really all that Pitty a thread; it’s more conversational than violently outraged. :smiley:

Nailed it in one. I love my mom lots. Just felt a little flustrated and needed to vent a bit. Not that a big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Since my mom didn’t beat puppies with kittens while talking on a cell phone driving down the freeway and crashing into a bus load of orphans, and I seem to have severally frustrated some people by this fact maybe MPSIMS would be better. If a mod would be so kind.

I’ll move it today, I promise. Just go over to MPSIMS and wait for it, it’ll be along in no time. :stuck_out_tongue:

But did she declaw the kittens? :smiley:

Welcome to the SDMB, but I want to know why your mother didn’t’ include some spare underwear and some chocolate in the package. I know my mother was always incapable of sending anything without including a few pairs of knickers. (No, I don’t know why, either, but it was fairly useful, I suppose).

11

How do you know? Do you watch her every minute of every day?

12

Why would she say she mailed it, if she didn’t mail it? Is there a chance it got lost in the mail somehow? I mean, that does happen sometimes.

13

It sounds like you need to describe it better to her. Maybe she was too embarrassed to tell you she didn’t know what you were asking for.
