Happy Father's Day, Planeteers!

[Mr. Kotter]

Mothers are great, and very deserving of their Mother's Day celebration. But, modern Dads especially...we all deserve a huge pat on the back, extra affection and a steak, or whatever else our loved ones can do to express their gratitude. Our generations are the first to deal with the new paradigm of post-feminist sociological implications, and we are inventing it as we go. Though not perfect, the world is a better place...than it was.

Lord knows I'm far from perfect, but I try; I try very hard to be a good dad. I know most of us do. And even if we fall short, most of us do the best we can...at least if we are really trying. Let us pray that each dad here resolves to be a better dad, every year.

I lost my dad this year. He wasn't a great or highly accomplished human being; but he tried to be a good dad most of the time, and he did the best he was capable of doing--because he wanted a better life for me. I hold him blameless for any of my own short-comings; because he did the best he could, given the limited gifts God gave him.

Parenting (done right) is the toughest job ever. Bar none. If I'd known parenting was this difficult, I may have opted for a vasectomy at age 21--though with my luck, it wouldn't have "taken" then either. My point is...despite the difficulties, it's also the most rewarding job on the Planet--this or any other. So, even though it's not easy...try to cherish every moment. Your kids are your legacy to the world. Make it count.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to every single one of you who qualify! :toast:

Is MTG 10 able to celebrate for the one that is not his too?

Fatherhood is not about sperm-donation; it's about being a....Dad.

[Mr. Kotter]

Just to be clear; no disrespect meant. Your Dad is NOT whoever knocked up Mom...Dad is the guy who was/is there for you, as you grow up....to play catch, to teach you about girls, to teach you to defend yourself and to drive, and to make good choices in life. THAT is who "Dad" is...and who Father's Day is suppose to celebrate (not just some hornball who busted a nut one night when mommy got frisky.)

[LaChapelle]

Take a few seconds off to yourself today
and go shake your dick at something other than a urnial cake
fell it's heft as it whips in the breeze of the day

Gonna take my boys to Hawn St park,and do the 9 mile hike today.Then we're hitting the lake to cool down and take a break before grilling these fat ass rib eyes......Happy fathers day to my fellow CP fathers.

Happy Fathers Day guys.....

Doing laundry for my kids, then off to work. Doing what us single dads must do.


(and no I'm not bitching, I'm proud of what & how I do it)

[Bowser]

Have a good one, dads. Not sure what the wife and kid have in store for me today, but hopefully it involves a hot, juicy steak and a cold one or three.....

[vailpass]

I've heard that today there is much confusion in Harlem. What is that all about?

[CaliforniaChief]

Kotter....does this also apply to all of us gay California fathers too??? :D

[ChiTown]

Wow.

My kids got me a new I-Touch for Fathers Day and my wife got me a Nike Dry Fit golf shirt and shorts.

:)

HFD to all the Fathers out there. :clap:

[EWOK]

It is said “Anyone can be a Father but it takes someone special to be a Dad”.
This Father’s Day I want to thank all the Men who stand up against the tide for what is right, defending the line in the sand between right and wrong. To the Men who take responsibilities for their actions when others who shirk theirs, To the Men who resist being permissive, saying “No to a society that wants to reduce us to irrelevant, stupid, knuckle dragging Neanderthals. To the Men who relentlessly sacrifice themselves for their families. Lastly to the Men who without equal love their wives and children.
To those Men “Happy Father’s Day”

John you will reap much reward for your efforts. I sure you already do. However your kids will reflect back knowing you stood the test and did what you had to do to raise them~

[gblowfish]

To all the dads out there today....
You Da Man! You Da Man!!!

Happy Fathers Day fellas, hope it's a good one.

Got the HFD call from both my grown sons, got the cards and gifts from my wife and little girl. They gave me a sweet Chiefs hat and a Ravens beer glass, only I can't wear the hat tday cause it's white and I'm grilling and I don't want it trashed the first time I wore it. But there is certainly nothing to stop me from using that beer glass. :D

Grilling asparagus, corn, turkey burgers and dogs. Made some salsa and some pico and some Krab dip, the cooler is full and the beer is cold. I think I have all the bases covered.

"Someday, after I'm gone, you'll be asked about me. Those stories you tell is what I live my life for everyday. Tell them everything, mistakes I've made, the love I felt, tell it all..."

[Mr. Kotter]

and a happy father's day to you rob...

you're a good dad and your kids are lucky to have you as their father...

Thanks, John. I kinda think of you as the online version of Dad-I-never-had. Thanks, man.

Best wishes to you and yours as well. :toast:
