NADA Appallmark Card 2005

[Guest guest]

<<

So this whole Mother's day thing is a nightmare for me.

What kind of cards do most of you wind up buying?

I don't even want to send on this year.

Any thoughts?

Yo Other KOs,

That's why I invented Appallmark Cards a few years ago for the list: " When

You Dare Enough to Send The Very Worst " .

Actually, I was in the store thinking the same thing the other day. The only

thing that came to mind was to send her a card for a two-to-five-year-old.

" So You Are 2? 5? (fill in the blank) Today " . I snorted at myself. The

thought just tickled me but I won't actually do it.

Seriously, for the last few years I have not sent my nada a card or called or

made any contact at all. I just let her sit in her apartment and contemplate

her navel. And she is 'getting it'. I haven't decided what to do this

year. Definitely *not* a card that tells her she is the best mother in the

world.

<gag>. She has to earn that and she isn't off the hook yet and she knows

it.

For this year's Appallmark Card:

<picture a nada yelling at a person> Then maybe have a pull-string or

computer chip bith marathon when the card is opened for sound effects. Then

have a

picture of a KO or non, standing up for themselves and stating that

" co-dependecy isn't by bag anymore, you bag you " .

<on the back> This card will be *not* be recycled for further abuse.

Appallmark Cards

" When You Dare Enough To Send The Very Worst "

The best for you all KOs,
