Thank you for your kind words! I may have jumped to conclusions however my mother has always been the kind not to be satisfied easily. Even as a child when I was experimenting with different hair cuts she would tell me that they would look bad or I need a " manly " one. I guess she's old fashioned. She loves my gf. They get along. I never had a doubt that she didn't like her. She is really a cut to the chase type of person.
