First, we'll have what looks like it might be a record number of Beta Etas in attendance for Convention in general, and an even larger crowd on Saturday night for Reunion Dinner. We're looking forward to seeing Jessica, Jessica, Vaneese, Pat, Britain, Liz, Sylvia, Patty, Katie, Karen, Aggie (and Don!) and Claudia!

 | Karen Buffer Rinehart"Maternal Revenge Phenomena: Resistance is Futile" |
The eyes in the back of your head. That wind-down vocal sigh after a good laugh. Kids who have a phone permanently glued to their hands. Kids who mock what you wear. Those classic maternal phrases ("Because I said so!") It's called, Maternal Revenge Phenomena™: A supernatural power, bound not by time or distance, bestowed upon generations of mothers to exact revenge on their grown offspring.

Karen has been writing her award winning syndicated newspaper column, True To Life, a.k.a. The Bus Stop Mommies™, since 2002. She's a frequent guest commentator on radio and making her way into television.
In addition to her book, Invisible Underwear, Bus Stop Mommies and Other Things True To Life, Karen's columns and The Bus Stop Mommies™ are featured in:
