Pizza Friday and Ancient Aliens

United States
October 9, 2015 8:28am CST
I live across the street from my 88 year-old mom. She doesn't drive anymore so I take her on a ride in the morning and then I make an early lunch for her. Each Friday, we've gotten into the routine that we pick up a Stop and Shop Supreme Pizza (that always seems to be on sale for $4). Then I make sure that she has Ancient Aliens on. It usually runs from noon to 5pm. So she enjoys her Aliens and pizza all day long. I think it's her favorite day!

My mom has always loved pizza. She says she would like it every day, but then I bring over other meals and she agrees that variety is good.

Now I miss my mom. She's gone but when she was here she just loves going out with the family. She wants more than ever chicken and noodles we call it "pancit canton" here in the Philippines

Around here, it seem to me that the employees of Stop & Shop are mostly aliens. So, do they make good pizza?

We love our local Stop & Shop employees. Mom couldn't get out of her house for two months last winter because of storms and snow. When she finally got out in March, all of the employees gave her a big hug when we walked into the store. Their supreme pizza is excellent.

@NeldaHoxie I can very well understand. My mother is 94, but she lives in Italy. I go to see her once a month and we have a wonderful day together.

We're mean. We don't want a TV in the house. Mom would love to tranq out in front of one. I try to find things to do with her instead. We do watch things like old reruns of shows like the Waltons. But no live TV crudola.

@NeldaHoxie Your Mother sounds like a go get 'em lady. We check out DVDs from the library and play them on a DVD player.

@sallypup That's a very smart idea. I keep thinking I should just get rid of cable, but I like to watch the news and know what's going on.

If you don't have a TV how do you watch reruns.I don't get your point. Whether you watch live TV or "reruns". Why does it matter. My mother doesn't spend every day all day in front of the television. She works in the garden, braids rugs and tends to her house. This is her television day.

I agree with Ancient Aliens. Every episode is well done and fascinating. Even if I don't agree with some of their points, I have to admit that I sit spellbound as they explain their theories.
