OT - My mom, the word butcher

Just got off the phone with my mother. She's an "avoid-the-doctor-and-you'll-live-longer" nut.

She's reading a book by a doctor who says the kind of things she likes to hear.

I nearly fell out of my chair laughing just now because she told me her latest thrift store 15 cent book says *monograms* are bad for babies.

Naturally, she meant the doctor had opined about *sonograms.*

Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if Mother wrote for SNL when Gilda Radner coined that enduring phrase, "Never mind!"

When I read the sentence I thought maybe she meant "mammograms" were bad for babies!
(I have read or heard that sonograms were painful to the babies ears/hearing. Maybe that's what it said in her book! Maybe I read the same book! lol)

Brenda, I love your Mom--I agree--Every time I go to a Dr. I find out there is something wrong with me i didn't know about.

How is notary Dog doing?

Other than that business could be better--my love life is about where business is--OK but not perfect
