Um, that's not usually true. They just say that when you give them a single rose so you don't feel bad for not getting them something nicer.

My b-day and mothers day are on the same day so they cancel each other out, I figure I was the best gift she could ever get ;)

You bought the good media so you won't just have to re-copy them in a few years, right? :p

Taiyo Yuden :)

The long part of the process is the capture and conversion. It takes about 3 hours/movie total.

no. my sister's mother-in-law is a florist, so she always gets my mom a nice boquet of flowers from her.

this year I'm getting my mom a bottle of her favorite perfume. I noticed that she was nearly out, and it's too expensive + pain in the ass to buy for my dad to ever buy it for her.

Sure i have no trouble giving my mother a single rose or takeing out for dinner on mothers day.

I love my mother and enjoy the 1 on 1 time i get. Now that i am a adult any time i get to spend with my parents is good.

No.. it's symbolic or some sh!t. This was part of a survey we did in college. If all the girls were lying (because just about all of them said one is better), well then screw them that's what I'm getting them.

No. I've considered defecating in a box and giving her that, but while it would certainly be deserved, I'm not mean & vindictive enough to go through with it.

Ah, fvck symbolism. Sometimes we like getting nice things. Personally, I'm too practical, I prefer to get living plants that won't die in a few days, but once in awhile it's nice to have someone do something frivolous. And if you send it to her at work, she gets all her coworkers to ooh and ahhh over it.
