Happy Father's Day, Planeteers!
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! ![]() Last edited by Mr. Kotter; 06-20-2010 at 09:06 AM.. |

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

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.)

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. ![]() 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. |

Picnic in the park. My three youngest are hanging around with friends, and going swimming this afternoon. My soon-to-be Freshman has his first HS football camp--he's pumped.
