|  What you get your mother for mother's day
It's (or it was) mother's day.
My mum got a copy of The Greatest American Hero Season 1 on DVD 
She loved this show when it was on years back
So what gift did you give your mom/mum?

I gave my mom a card. Thats it.
Last few years I've given her gifts and every time she gripes about it. I didn't get the right color, or the right size. She wanted a different brand, or whatever. She's not exactly a grateful person. So this year she just got a card and I didn't have to listen to her gripe about anything  It was nice.

i got my mom a pair of 900mhz wireless headphones...
but... there is interference no matter what channel we change it to, and no matter where we place the transmitter/headphones..
But it is nice using them to eavesdrop on peoples 900mhz wireless phone calls.

I let my mom pick out her gift... she's hard to buy for as she doesn't need anything.
I was going to buy her a couple of rose bushes, but she picked out hree hanging baskets of flowers and ferns.
My wife said she wants season 5 of E.R. for Mother's Day, but it doesn't come out until July. She said she'll wait for it.

I made my mom a rose flower out of 1/32 copper sheeting. Nothing says "I love you" more than something from the heart, right?  She loved it, of course, like all the other people ive give them too.  | |

| That's kind of how my mom is, but you make yours sound like a complete beotch lol. But yeah, my mom is impossible to shop for. She wants presents just like any other mom/female would at certain times, she definitely doesn't need to be treated all the time or anywhere close to that for that matter, but at the same time, whatever you get her is something she doesn't want or like and she'll never tell you what she might like.....BAH
Anyway, I got my mom the best present of all.
My smile
She took me, my brother, my dad, and my grandma (her mom) out for lunch. Mainly because of my brother because he lives in texas and rarely visits but also for my grandma since she's out in a tin can on the side of the house and needs to be taken out every once in a while Quote: |

| Yeah I remember the picture of those. They looked awesome. You could probably sell those too. A dozen copper flowers, just be creative and make a cool vase | |
