razorjakI wish the blow-up argument I had with my mom this afternoon was what I felt in the air. But it's not.
Anyway, I wondered how long it would take for her and I to get into a screaming match. Guess the reason we've been getting along the last few years is BECAUSE I was living out of state. She was able to maintain her own lil fantasy of how I lived when I was a few hundred miles away.
The argument ended with her hanging up on me. She cut the "conversation" short. She can be the one to initiate another one.

She's been "gently" pressuring me to become a doctor ever since the shrinks told my folks that I wasn't retarded,(1) I was bored.
Hell, I was 17 when I signed up for the military. Which meant I had to have one of my parents sign consent as well. During the process, she did her damnedest to get the recruiter to talk me into going in the medical field in the military.
She's finally given up pressuring me to be a doctor. But she's been trying to get me to go into business with my brother and his wife. They're in the process of building a nursing home. (- Sad thing is, I know he really doesn't want to do it as much as he claims when she's around. -)
Anyway, that wasn't what the argument was about. But it came up.
(1) I went to school in the seventies and in the sticks. Kids weren't "educationally challenged" or "suffering from ADD". They were hyperactive and retarded.
