LOL... okay I won't!! And she IS elderly, she's 70, I think that's elderly. Oh and I made the mistake of getting her a computer a few years ago. OMG, that has to be the dumbest thing I've ever done. She just doesn't get it and calls me with every little thing, how to send an email, how to print, how to open an attachment and those are just the very basics, the thing is that I've told her how to do it a HUNDRED times and I even wrote it down for her.
She is much better on the computer now but it has been a hard ass row to hoe let me tell ya. And there are still things she asks me how to do that are pretty basic but I know are WAY over her head and would cause me to pull all my hair out by the roots if I tried to walk her through it. But ya gotta love your mom right? Even if they drive you absolutley insane!!

Funny! Same with my grandmother who is almost 90. Got her a new Dell and she is constantly calling with questions. Like you, I can write them down (step by step - even the small simple ones we over look) or show her how and the next day, it is the same thing. She is also in LOVE with the internet. She is always finding something and emailing it to me. I swear, my inbox will have 20 or more messages from her each day! Oh well.....wouldn't change it for anything (even though it can make me cRaZy). I think it is great that she is learning computer at her age! If only I can live that long!!!
Hope your mother enjoyed her visit. Do you see her much? What did you get her or was the dinner her gift? My parents live close by, but have a second home several hours away. I honestly think it is their get away from me! HA!
