If there were a man's silhouette in my bathroom when I was half-asleep, I would have punched it in the head.
lol Well, I guess we know how I will react in a home invasion - I screamed and then jumped backwards and almost fell over. My sister would have been sorry if she'd had to take me to the ER with a broken leg because I fell over running away from Bilbo! (plus, imagine explaining that to the doctor!)
You could stand him up in the backseat of her car, like a creepy stalker waiting for work time....
Oh, that's a good one! I'll have to get The BFF to help me with that tomorrow - (going down the garage ramp carrying him is a bad idea for me, but she could do it!) The cats all crowd around the door when it is time for my sis to get home from work so the other day I put Bilbo there too, so it was like Bilbo was waiting for her to get home from work. I also put him on the back porch with his face all pressed to the glass and then closed the door, like he got locked out of the house. It's been fun!
sounds like your mom's lessons in computer were LOOOONG overdue!
No shit. She was a pharmacy tech for years and that job is all done with computers - how does she know so very little? Still, if this does nothing but lessen her asking me to do things for her on my computer, I will be happy! Maybe next we can install Skype for her so she can talk to her grandbabies that way!
Hopefully the doctor would have been as much of a geek as your good PT people (how is K?), and they also would have laughed only after making sure you were okay.
Doo eet! And was he between the doors, or what? Like Flat Stanley. (Actually, you've sort of already started your Flat Bilbo adventures. It could be a book, too!)
Hooray for fewer computer-related mom-queries... though it's not too surprising that her data skills aren't PC compatible, since doctor's offices tend to use older programs that are more like spread sheets and nine-key entry. You know, the old school amber screens with a space for each letter or number you type in? It's amazing to me how quickly computers have changed, tbh. I remember living without home internet, and it wasn't all THAT long ago, either. If I had insomnia, I had to get up and go to the college computer lab to get my late night writing fix... and while I could talk to people overseas, it was hella laborious and really not easy to access as an ordinary student. And now look at us!

I mean, at least they would have had a good story to tell at the dinner table! K is good, what little I see of him these days (baseball season is upon us and his kids are far enough apart that they all play in different age ranges). He had to call me the other day to get all emo because his 19 year old got a tattoo and was hiding it from him, but I politely reminded him of the things I was doing when I was 19 (even just the ones he knew about and was on my ass for!) and then he was glad the worst she was doing was getting a tattoo. (I think he was mostly upset that she was hiding it.)

It could be a book! lol Bilbo was on the sun porch, so the sliding door between the house and the porch was closed, locking him out. It's what happens with the cats when it is too hot to leave the door open (we don't want to air condition the sun porch) so if they ask to go out, I let them out but close the door behind them and then ten minutes later they want to come right back in. So I let Buddy out and then I put Bilbo out and then Buddy asked to come right back in, but I left Bilbo out there and I told my sis, "He asked to go out and then ten minuets he wanted to come back in, but I told him he could just stay out there!" lol

Right? I remember when we got our first dial-up modem and only my older brother understood what it did or even used it and he tried to explain chat rooms to my mom and she was all freaked out because she had read in some news article about how predators get your children through the Internet. I don't know what happened to that computer though, because I never used the Internet until I was like 21 (I was a little behind the curve but I didn't go to college so I had no access to it anywhere).

Ikr? I have a very good friend, like on the level that you and I are, who lives in mother-fucking Sweden!
Aw, baby girl's first tattoo! I can see how the hiding of it would be a bigger deal than the getting of it, based upon what I've learned about K from your posts.
BOOK! Do it before Disney gets their claws into the Hobbit franchise. (No, I haven 't heard any such thing, but you KNOW how they are!)
That is EXCELLENT. I feel the same way about an online-buddy in Greece.
I forgot to tell you but your idea about putting Bilbo in the car? The BFF came down on Friday and before I even got the chance to ask her to help me with it, she said, "Your sister sent me a text picture this morning of Bilbo driving her car." She stole your idea!!! I was like, "But that's what I was gonna have Bilbo do today!"
Just thought you should know that Bilbo came to our 4th of July cookout. He was wearing a red/white/blue top hat and everything! But the wind kept knocking him over, so he had to go in on the porch. He was staring out the porch window at the party he wasn't allowed to attend, all forlorn. ;)

Okay, how about:
bus stop Bilbo
golfing Bilbo
Bilbo on line at the zoo
Bilbo gardening
Bilbo in the kitchen with an apron and oven mitts?
