this was a father/son conversation i had with my dad when i wanted to join
the marines at 17[he had to sign]

he wasn't much on words, but was pretty cool![when you stayed on the right side of him]

i guess with the season and all, i've been missing not being able to talk to him anymore!


do any of my esteemed fellow members recall 'pearls' from thier fathers.

Dad said if you can't make enough money working 40hrs a week, then your not making enough money.

Dont talk about who you voted for, who you pray to or who your sleeping with, and You will avoid trouble with 95% of the world. Th other 5% are assholes and dont need a reason to bother you.

Half elf?Now that's some good advice!

There are a lot of fatherless children out there. Fortunately, I was raised by an Uncle. One of the worlds good guys.

I almost wonder if we're using "raised" in the same context? :laugh01:

[krept]

"I never had much use for philosophy."

"go scrape yer fangs!" (telling me to brush my teeth)

"Son, sit down on the stool here. I want to talk to you about sex... it's one of the best feelings in the world. Any questions?" (the entirety of our father-son conversation on the birds and the bees)

 

[brass hammer]

my old hunting partner[lung [email protected]]

would always say " it's a fine life, if you don't weaken"
then we would clank our beer cans together[2 apiece, for the whole day when we'd go hunting.]
