Seriously! Why does my mom save newspaper clippings about my old HS boyfriend?

[LynneSin]

Yes he's a successful vp in a local community bank but come on - he broke my heart. Time to let him go!

1. The son-in-law that got away.

She's still in mourning.

2. your mom still gets newspapers?

i have no idea but this bizarre and disturbing on multiple levels if you ask me

is a vp in a local community bank really worth worrying about? what does that earn? $30K a year?

3. Depending on where in the US and the assets of the bank...

ballpark to $80-90K. Less in the south, mid and mountain-west.

6. She has about 5 subscriptions to various local daily and weeklies

She reads only the local stuff and knows nothing about what is happenning outside central pa

4. He broke your heart! Fuck him. His lose.

5. You're lucky

My mother used to send me obituaries of people she thought I knew. Most often I hadn't a clue who they were.

7. My mom did that too.

She "meant well." LOL

I would have rather received clippings about old boyfriends!

8. Because she is your mother

I think it has something to do with living vicariously.

9. Because the grandkids would be extra CUTE?!1 n/t

10. sounds like she still isn't over the breakup..

that's pretty funny. Is he married now?

[LynneSin]

11. Yes

She sent me that clipping too.

[gratuitous]

12. She's still hoping you'll come around?

Or, you could just ask her why in the ever-lovin' blue-eyed world she insists on doing this? Does skittles know about this? Does your mom need her ass kicked?

13. A Banker Broke Your Heart?!

Shocking. Not.

14. This reminds me of an episode of "The Honeymooners"

The fun begins around the 6:30 mark.
