I would just be direct, as others have said.

I used to try being subtle with my own mother, but she just didn't get it, or twisted the subtle message to read however she wanted it to read.
I learned a long time ago not to tell my mother anything until AFTER it happened. She didn't even know when I went in for major surgery 2 years ago. I know she would have made the situation worse for me, because she brings drama to even the calmest situations.
I wish you luck. Be direct, enjoy your vacation, and next time, wait until you've returned to tell your mom about your vacation.

Also at my bank if you have direct deposit
of your paychecks you can get a direct deposit advance on your check and that does get posted to your account immediately. Has saved my butt more than once! LOL
anybody get their stimulus direct deposit yet?
mine's not due till May 9 but I was just wondering if anybody has actually gotten theirs yet.
No way this person has had direct experience.
Otherwise, he/she would not be saying things like, "I feel sorry for the kids, not you lady...you made your choice, etc." and would not be using the bully tactics...the last thing you need right now.
I have Direct TV and get local channels...
call them and find out if they are available in your area. I also get the network feeds from New York and LA, which is especially great to be able to watch things 3 hours earlier (I'm on the west coast) and I can still be in bed by 9!

Fresh direct dilivers to most of the boroughs. sm
Are you in NYC or upstate. Because Fresh Direct deliver almost everywhere in NYC. Not much upstate, though.
Can you direct us to a legitimate company, one that does not charge the shopper?

we have direct, and we can look at the guide while watching tv; DISH STINKS
we started out with dish, had it for 9 years. They would give all kinds of equipment and deals to their new customers but not us - their loyal customers for 9 years. Our remote was being held together with tape for crying out loud and couldn't get the networks with our dish because it was so old, but did they care?? - no freaking way. They only started caring once we switched to direct. Then they repeatedly called our house, asking why we switched and offering us deals. It got real old fast repeating why we switched. So the last time they called i screamed my @$$ off that if they ever called again i was going to sue them for harassment.
It seems like they only care about people who aren't their customers. If you are their customer, they don't give a rat's @$$ about you.
Dish sucks BIG time. But I doubt direct is really that much better. Our equipment with them is just newer, that's all. I can't get cable. I wish there was an alternative.

Word for word from the title to the very end.
