I asked the bride of 37 years if she could help me become a father again.

She informed me that the Nassau County Police Department was only a short phone call away.

We never stop laughing at my house.

Fellow fathers - Enjoy your day and remember that nobody's a father without a good girl.

Larry, although we never had any children, I think I married a Good Girl too. ;)

Wow, it's getting dark where I am and none of our female members checked in for a lousy "Happy Happy".

Pop was right 50 years ago - girls don't say hello unless you have a good job, money in the bank or a house and a car.

It's very irritating to see how some people view fathers as an insignificant unit of the family. I had to hear wishes from people yesterday that included a happy father's day to the "mothers who do both jobs." What about the dads that do both jobs? The stereotype of the deadbeat is what ruins it for the good ones who bust their asses for their families well being and is involved in their children's lives.

There's enough bitching on this board.

My lady treated me to a lobster dinner last night, so all is well in my world.

Guys, I'm sorry I missed wishing you all a great day. I'm late, but I hope every one of you were treated to cards, wishes, and presents, etc, etc. Whatever made you smile.

My dad is 81. So I was cooking seafood for him, mom, my brother and myself last night. My Bj . . . . he was with the "former spouse." LOL They had a good weekend, grilling and swimming. Bj helped me remember to shop for "daddy" on Thursday. We did it together; he decides, mom buys. ;)

I read somewhere that Fathers Day wishes were being sent to those Fathers that did not walk out on their families.

Wow....the bar is set low.



Made me sick.
