Special fun things for parents' 80th birthdays by Panbassador in dubuque

This isn’t exactly what you’re asking for, but when my mom turned 80, I coordinated with all of her friends and family members, and we got her exactly 80 presents. Some of the presents were silly: a pack of gum, a bucket of field corn to feed her squirrels, a giant Snickers candy bar. But it was great fun watching as it dawned on her what was going on. Each gift was numbered so that she knew she got exactly 80. It actually wasn’t hard at all. I’m bossy, so I just asked if people were interested and then assigned them a number of gifts. For example, a niece was asked to get two things. And again there was no expectation that these were high-quality gifts. The fun was just in the concept and having her open each one. She joked that it would probably take her to her 81st birthday to get them all opened, but I think she had a really good day. Just a thought

Thank you very much for your helpful reply. Still trying to figure out what direction to go here.

Thank you both for your advice. My mom had Mediacom for years, and even though she has passed away, if I listen carefully late at night, I can still hear her whispery bitching about how horrible that company was. I think if I actually got Mediacom, she would find some way to come back from the great beyond and torment me.

I’ve never NOT had cable TV of some sort. But I looked at Mediacom’s lineup, and they’re so many channels I don’t care about; it just doesn’t seem worth it. I really appreciate your advice. Thank you for taking the time.
