Read what the TV News has done to my Mom

[TVFactFan]

It has made her OVERRACT and thinking of the WORST. I talked to my mom on Friday and she forgot that I told her I wouldn't be answeing my phone all weekend because of the Jeffersons marathon. So we didn't talk again after Friday until Tuesday and she sent a email saying-"Please call me, I haven't received a response back to the message I left on Saturday" "If i don't hear from you by today, I will have to call 911 so they can go to the APT and see if you are ok"

HUH??-lol I told her the Local TV News is making her say CRAZY THINGS. See by her seeing all this crime stories on the news, she automaticalli thinks something bad happens if I didn't call her in 3 or 4 days. Anyone else think she needs to RELAX??

[D.J.]

Your mother was just worried about you man. She may have forgotten about what you told her, but she did what any mother would do. It was just a misunderstanding.

[Ireneparalegal]

She is a mom, cut her some slack! We worry ok. Tell her she is cool.

[Dragonflies]

I think it's sweet, it shows how much your mom loves you :)

[Ireneparalegal]

Wait a second here...you couldn't just pick up the phone and say HI MOM, I LOVE YOU, THINKING ABT YOU...and then hang up???? That would take no more than a minute...WAS THE JEFFERSONS THAT MORE IMPORTANT???? *irene tapping her finger and shaking her leg*

[Brian Damage]

Chill out Solomon, nothing wrong with a mom worrying about her kid.

I turned the phone off over the weekend because I was recording the marathon-lol So I didn't know who called. I had told her I was doing that Friday Night

[TVFactFan]

Chill out Solomon, nothing wrong with a mom worrying about her kid.


I understand, but the fact that i'm 31 I would think she wouldn't be so worried-lol

[Ireneparalegal]

But! You could have picked up the phone and CALLED HER. The Jeffersons are recording while you are doing this, right???? Only a minute to say HI MOM.

[Brian Damage]

I understand, but the fact that i'm 31 I would think she wouldn't be so worried-lol


Parents will worry about their children until the day they die.

Dude, you could be 131 and your mom would still worry about you. Age doesn't matter.

[Ireneparalegal]

If Solomon lived to be 131, I'd be WONDERING...not worrying :crazy:

With the different treatments that have been discovered, 130 may be the average life span, though that wouldn't be for hundreds of years.

seriously. Do it during a commerical!

[Janice]

Parents will worry about their children until the day they die.
I know mine did. It's one of the things I miss the most....them caring so much about me. My father actually apologized on his deathbed to me...said he knew he was making everyone sad by being so sick.

[gilligan fanatic]

Wow, you must have really enjoyed the marathon to go through all that trouble, I take it you didn't work Monday

[TVFactFan]

The funny thing is when I lived in Connecticut during my college years she was never this worried. It was times I didn't call her in a month and now I'm in the same city and older and she panicks if she goes 3-4 days without hearing me-lol

[Ireneparalegal]

Wow, you must have really enjoyed the marathon to go through all that trouble, I take it you didn't work Monday
Monday was Labor Day.

Solomon, you could have CALLED HER. One minute is all it would have taken.

I have to ask her why wasn't she this worried when I lived in another State while i was in college-lol

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

"I talked to my mom on Friday and she forgot that I told her I wouldn't be answeing my phone all weekend because of the Jeffersons marathon."
lol you're a funny person. did you see the KKK ep? that was hardcoreeee

My gram overreacts because of stuff she sees on tv. There's a difference between being protective and being overreactive and she's it. My aunt, too, and my mom a bit. It's crazy. They've always been paranoid and they even admit it's due to news stories, particularly kidnappings and such.

[Ireneparalegal]

I have to ask her why wasn't she this worried when I lived in another State while i was in college-lol
Do ask her, I am curious.

Also, did you tell her she and I agree with the James and the Alaska job?:lol:

[gilligan fanatic]

Monday was Labor Day.


I know, but I worked, and my parents worked, and the places I went to after work had people working so I don't know if he worked or not. I know he has an office job of some sort, but not everyone was off on Monday.

[Stuck In The '70's]

Just be glad you have someone that cares about you. Moms are very special. :)

[Moonlight Lady]

They sure are. I'm very close to mine. :) She really worries about me driving in the winter and even though I love her for it, sometimes it gets me worked up and nervous.

[Brieannas21]

You couldn't talk to your mom because The Jeffersons were on????? NOW that's strange.

[TVFactFan]

It wasn't just her, it was everyone-lol I didn't want to be distracted from what I was trying to do over the weekend. I was recording and working on some Fun statistical Information about the Jeffersons and if I had talked to someone it would had thrown me off track.

I turned off my call waiting so i didn't know who called, until Late Monday Night.

[Ireneparalegal]

ONE MINUTE IS ALL IT WOULD TAKE...Solomon calls mom, phone rings, mom picks up: "Hello?"
Solomon: "Hi Mom"
Mom: "Hi Solomon"
Solomon: " I just called to say I love you and I am doing good. Just doing some research on a tv show and I am real busy but I just wanted to let you know I love you and I will be busy this weekend. I will call you on Monday."
Solomon's mom: "Ok baby, glad you called, bye."

ONE MINUTE

Ok here is the deal, I have never ever in my entire life had the privilege to watch 3 full days of non-stop Jeffersons eps. This was the first time in my life that I had a chance to watch my favorite show as part of a marathon so I wanted to enjoy my weekend without talking to her, my female friends, and my male friends. I called her on Friday saying "WELL I will be busy all wekkend with watching the marathon so she must have forgotten" My aunt even told my mom over the weekend when she couldn't get in touch with me that I wasn't answering the phone because of the JEFFERSONS!!!!!!!!!-lol But she still ignored what my aunt was saying and thought something bad happened. My aunt kept telling her-"He will call u after monday because that is when the marathon is over" LOL

Here's the deal, You've seen those episodes hundreds of times (I'm assuming) so you know what's going to happen, it's not like your missing anything. The fact that you put your life on hold for a sitcom seems a little odd to me. And then to top it off, You didn't even talk to your mom. You only get one Mom, you never know what will happen from one day to the next.

The eps shown during the marathon were mostly the ones that are not on DVD. And those eps I haven't seen since the 80's and wanted to get on Tape so i can have them until they are on DVD. So no I have not seen them a hundred times like I have Season 1

My daughter is almost 23 and I get worried when she doesn't call me to say she will spend the night at her girlfriend's house...there I am worrying and not being able to sleep. DAMN YOU KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Well I did ask her today why she didn't wory about me when I lived in CT and she said because I went to a college deep in Hartford Suburbs and it was nothing like Philadelphia-lol

You were right, she probably felt safer knowing you were in college and at a certain locale...doesn't mean she still didn't worry. She probably didn't want to worry you with her worrying.

[passionsfan79]

How stupid is that turning off a phone just to record a tv show marothon? Cmon get a life. If you think thats more important to talk to your mom your wrong.

Man, you are weird! You put fictional characters before your mother!:lol: Look, my mother is overprotective too. But I am not going to turn the ringer and caller ID off because The Jeffersons marathon is on. They will come and go. While your ringer was off, it could have been an emergency. Then, you would have regretted it. You love TV that much?! I love the Jeffersons and the rest of them shows myself. But I don't put it first in my life. Hell, Sanford and Son is my favorite show, but I never put a marthon before the reality of life. I wasn't going to reply to this thread, but I just had to tell you that.

See my mom has a habit of calling and not wanting anything so I didn't want to stop what I was doing to answer the phone when I know she would probably be calling just to be calling. Now if she had something to tell me instead of just seeing what I was doing then that would be something different

[Brieannas21]

Why does your mom have to "want anything" to call her son??? My boyfriend calls me at least three times a week from work just to say, "I love you" or "I'm thinking of you"...I do the same with my sister, I call just to say "What's up?"...

[swedeace]

A mom will always be a mom. It doesn't matter how old their children are. Period.

Irene there is nothing wrong with it but I just chose to not take those type of calls during the marathon-lol

My mom is the same way. A few weeks ago, she had a nightmare that I was out at 2:00 am, and was beaten and killed by a gang. She knows I don't lay down for anyone, and so in the dream, I was fighting and cursing until I finally died, and she couldn't do anything about it. :( She woke up crying, and the next day she told me that she went downstairs and stood by my door for 15 minutes until she heard a noise come from my room, just so she'd know that I was okay. :lol::lol::lol: Personally, I think you should be glad that you have someone in your life that cares that much about you. I know It gives me a certain piece of mind.

Exactly, We only get one mom, you should be glad that you still have your mom and that she actually worries about you. A lot of people don't even have that. So it wouldn't have hurt your precious marathon viewing to pick up the phone and actually talk to your mom when she called.

I lost my mom when I was 6 years old. 22 days after my birthday. I would give up ANYTHING to have her back for one day. For you Solomon and anyone here who has a loving, caring mother, cherish your mother.

[TVFactFan]

:nod: That is odd. I have a friend who used to do the same thing when ER would come on. I thought that was dumb. Why refuse to talk to someone, esp. family, just so that you can watch a marathon? I understand that you wanted to enjoy it, but you were taping it. I can't believe you went a month without talking to your mom when you were in college. Why would you do that? DOn't you care about her? Don't you want to know how she is? During the time you had the phone turned off something bad could have happened. Even though nothing did, the fact that it could have and you wouldn't have known that is sad. What if something would have happened to your mom and you wouldn't have known because you were watching The Jeffersons? It seems like you cared more about the show than her. No offense.


Well in college I was very busy between friends, my job, studying, classes, partying, and typing papers. So it was very easy to let 3 or 4 weeks go by without calling her

yeah, give her a break. i wish my mom worried over me like that. you only have one mother, the jeffersons is just a tv show. mp

Solomon won't change his ways...no point in trying to convince him otherwise. I am not being rude or mean, just being honest. I think Solomon will agree with me on this! :wave:
