#3 Cool pic .com, looks like my mother and her sewing circle. A while back I happened to overhear one side of a cell-phone conversation between a graduate student and her mother. The conversation was pretty heated and the grad student soon began calling her mom various obscene names, then hung up with steam almost visibly coming out her ears.
She looked at me and said, "Sorry, doc, my mother just really gets to me sometimes and I lost my temper."
"If you can handle it, I can," I said, "but I'll tell you something: I am 53 years of age and my mother is 77, but if I talked to her like that even now, she would get into her car and drive across town to slap my face."

#4 AC, try and find some consolation by imagining how that woman's children will one day talk to her. Insert endless rant about the decline of modern civilization >here<.

#6 .com, goodness knows that you probably have an image of the cartoon I'm thinking about.

It shows this yuppie couple touring their parents through the den of a new house they bought. The yups are saying; "... and the television goes right into this brick nook and all the DVDs fit just perfectly onto the shelves next to it!"

Meanwhile, as their parents cringe, they're pointing directly at the ~~abused~~ disused fireplace and the bookshelves surrounding it.

#7 I am shamed - I don't have it - sorry. But I can see it clearly in my mind's eye - excellent description of The Gap, heh. I'll keep an eye open - it'll come along (or the components needed) sooner or later...
