I teach krav!
Okay, perhaps you meant something where people sit down more.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

can make him do the damn work, but I can't make him care.
Well, your one step ahead of where my mother was. She couldn't make me do homework unless I liked the subject and wanted to from about 4th grade on. If I understood how to do long division in class I couldn't understand why I had to do 30 problems of it. Also, if I passed the pre-test in spelling on Monday why did I have to write the words out all week long? Like I said, I was very stubborn. By 11th grade I had enough really great teachers that I did my homework to not dissapoint them.
Congratulations, ChiKat!!!

Hi, StolenCubicle!
I teach krav!My line of work kinda hovers between health care and teaching, and I never know which to claim as my "industry" on surveys. I administer meds, take vital signs, do physical therapy exercises, monitor symptoms, and teach individuals a wide range of daily living skills ranging from the most basic, like how to set a cup down upright instead of on its side, to the more complex, like how to plan balanced meals and make grocery lists. Essentially, my job is the same as parenting, but with lots of paperwork. And? I get to go home at night. Usually.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Hivemind -
I'm working on invites for a birthday party for my mom. I know we have discussed this stuff before, but what is a gracious way to say "no gifts please, unless you want to take her out to lunch or write a fun memory in your card". K-Bug proposed "no material gifts", which is closer, but still not there.
Wordsmiths - please help.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Your presence and memories of your relationship with Mom are the best gifts we could ask for.

Our wings are not tired.
The only gift you should bring is yourself.
If people call and ask you then you can suggest the other things.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Your presence is all the present required. Like Laura said, if they call, you can tell them that taking your mom out for the day would be a great gift. You could also include a pretty piece of paper in the invitation and ask that they write a memory on it that you will be collecting at the party for your mother. You could put them all in a photo album later.

Florida county plans to vaporize landfill trash
FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida county has grand plans to ditch its dump, generate electricity and help build roads — all by vaporizing garbage at temperatures hotter than the sun.
The $425 million facility expected to be built in St. Lucie County will use lightning-like plasma arcs to turn trash into gas and rock-like material. It will be the first such plant in the nation operating on such a massive scale and the largest in the world.
Whew. Andi and I were already brainstorming on the disaster movie...
...Maybe The Doctor (Who) would be involved...
Still? Cool beans.
