What do I want for Father's Day?

Re: What do I want for Father\'s Day?

Gary,

I'm somewhat in the same situation as you. I won't be seeing my kids either. My daughter is in Columbus, Ohio and my son is in the Navy stationed in Fallon, Nevada.

I always tell them that if I can't have them with me, then all I want is a phone call and maybe a card. I have added an occassional "unusual" request.

In your case, maybe you could tell your daughter that the best Father's Day present she could give you is passing the bar exam! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Haven't been asked ... but according the the latest sites visited on the home PC it'll be coming from duluthtrading.com ... and just about anything there suits me just fine. (I don't think she planned on my discovery .. and I haven't said anything) should be fun.

I'm getting a 3 day ATV riding trip. Going to Tenn. with my camper and riding for 3 days with a group from ATVnation. No wife or child, just guy stuff for 3 days. Did I mention 3 days. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Every year I ask for the same thing. Never get it. I ask they my wife and daughter have a large construction dumpster delivered and I ask that they leave the house for the day.

My wife collects EVERYTHING that my daughter has ever drawn, made or spit up on since she was born. My daughter won't throw away broken toys, and won't donate used ones that she no longer uses. So every possible storage space in the house is slowly filling up with plastic storage bins full of things that will never be seen or used again. I am getting worried that the combined weight of all the "treasures" they are collecting will sink the entire house into the earth! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I thought i was the only one with that problem Bob. I keep waiting for my roof trusses to collapse anytime with all the junk up there.. You have to walk sideways in my house to get between stuff. You know what they say...Your stuff is junk and their junk is stuff. Anytime we do a cleaning around here and throw anything out , it's always my stuff thrown out. I feel your pain. I keep telling my wife that pretty soon there won't be any room for me here , but she just keeps collecting anyway. Maybe she is trying to tell me something.

OMG,

Bob, I thought I had brain damage and forgot I wrote that post.

Darn scary.

I have started collecting large garbage bags full of stuff. Just this step alone has taken ten years to get to. One can guess what the next step will be, and it WILL NOT take tens years to get to.

With the time she's putting into preparation, I know she's doing everything in her power to make that happen. The last thing I'd want to do is add any more pressure to what must already be overwhelming. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I don't doubt that she'll do well with this as she has with everything else she's taken on in her life. She's quite a young woman. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sounds to me like you already have your Father's Day present. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
