Happy Father's Day Fellas

[Tredici]

Not sure if it's a day y'all appreciate after reading some of the latest threads or not. Hahahahahaha. Despite how crumby women are, hope your horrible woman remembers you properly today. And if not.... well, this is for you :-*

What is considered a good Father's Day gift?

Have a great day, guys.

[Bronx33]

Yep! Drink and be merry fathers across america!

[PatsWin2002]

I'll see my kiddies later today. My 9-year old daughter has been taking sewing lesson so I should be getting a pillow or something like that.

My 6-year old son will color me something I'm sure.

Anyway, whatever they get me is fine. I love those little buggers!

[Atlas]

My daughter colored on some typing paper for me. I'm not sure what it is but it looks wonderful.

[TheNextStep]

I got my Father's Day present a day early: A 16' by 10.5' tent. We set it up in the backyard and had a campout last night. Started some coals in the grill when it got dark and roasted marshmallows and everything. It was very, very cool.

Of course, when I woke up and could barely move...

Tonight I'm grilling steaks.

[Raiders Rock]

Daughter made me a home made card, after looking in Wally World for a while she told her mom she would rather make me one instead of buy me one, (8 yr old)
Wife bought me a shirt and a pair of Carolina Tarheel Boxer Shorts (free balling style) Woot!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Thanks ladies. I have two daughters who I know will not grow up to be like those other threads you referenced. Ha.

[Rock Chalk]

Happy pop's day to you dad's out there.

[Kaylore]

Happy pop's day to you dad's out there.
Just want to echo this and let everyone know I'm handing Father's Day rep out if you post here and you're a father! :pimp:

[SoCalBronco]

Happy Father's Day to all the great dads on the board!

[Pendejo]

I consider you all to be my children. So yes...happy father's day to me.

[Sodak]

Why thank you Tred.

I stayed away from the woman hatin' thread. I got's me a good'un!

My kids are taking me to Star Wars. Shhhhhh... it's a secret.

[MadCity]

This is always a bit of a touchy day with me. I lost my father 21 years ago when I was five. Being that young, I have very few memories of him. But I do remember that he loved the Denver Broncos, which is why I'm a fan today.

Sorry, don't mean to be a downer. To all the fathers out there, enjoy this day. To all the children out there, call your dad and tell him you love him.

[Nuggets4]

To all the fathers out there, enjoy this day. To all the children out there, call your dad and tell him you love him.

This needs to be reiterated.

I called my mom today and thanked her for being my father as well for the last few years.

[Clockwork Orange]

I got a nice card from my son and a great breakfast from my wife. Works for me. :)

Happy Father's day to all the Dads out there.

I'm sorry you didn't get more time with your Father, MadCity. I lost my Dad when I was 33. He's been gone for seven years and I still think about him every day. I'm amazed at how much more I become like him with every passing year. I wonder if I would notice the similarities if he was still alive? I would like to say I would, but probably not.

Everyone who still has their Father should call him or go see him today. Tell him you love him, even if its awkward for some of you. When he's gone, you'll wish you took the opportunity to tell him how you feel. Don't allow yourself to have those regrets.

If my Dad were here today, I would tell him he was right about a lot of things we argued about while I was growing up. Kind of funny how I can see that now. I would thank him for teaching me everything I know about sports. I would thank him for teaching me how to win graciously and tell him I was still learning how to lose the same way. I would tell him of the awe I still feel over the 43 year bond he shared with my Mother, the greatest love story I've ever witnessed. My Dad provided me a daily example of how a man should treat the woman he loves, with reverence and respect and undying loyalty.

Great post.

I lost my father two years ago next Saturday and there is not a day goes by I don't think about him. So today I am going fishing with my three kids which is what he would do if he were still here.

Happy fathers day to all the dads out there.

I sure appreciate it. My woman must not have gotten the memo. She treats me pretty good, and I'm glad to have 'er. A good fathers day gift? My son bought me headlight covers for the new car. They look great!

The wife will be uncovering her headlights. They look great as well.

Thanks for the happy-happy.

Happy Father's day to all my fellow Breatheren, as well as those single mom's who have to do both jobs (it's a tough one, I know). My son had a hockey game today, and scored a goal as well as instigated another kid into a 2 and 10 penalty :P . My daughter, who has been saving her money for her car, offered to take me to dinner, but I would prefer her save her money for her car and her school clothes. So the big twerp decided to clean my bedroom and do my laundry instead. My youngest daughter hasn't called yet, but I figure her mom has something to do with that one, and she will be here in 7 days, so it doesn't really matter. Don't have a special lady in my life to get a "special" present from (You guys know what I am talking about :yep: ). I took my dad and mom out to breakfast this morning.

[SJ Bronco]

:) A great fathers day- Im in my underwear, and im watching the A's play. My daughter is routing with me. Good enough.

[Bronx33]

My neighbor borrowed my mower and brought it back packed full of wet grass , so i clean it out with the hose (d@mn rookies!)

Thanks for the well wishes!

Good thing for me I 'likes the women' since I have 2 daughters and girlfriends.
The younger, inexperienced guys will get over their "hate all woman" phase once they gain a little more knowledge and maturity ROFL!

I went fishing all day (had a blast, caught a lot of fish) so it was a nice day!

[Moon§hiner]

Thanks Tred...my 19 yr old daughter gave me a card today that covers her for the next few years...special hand written words that mean more than any gift that could be wrapped....Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!!

[Needa Pass Rush]

I played golf tonight with my 4 kids. It was a perfect night here in DC. In the 70's, clear and dry. So my little 5-some was really fun.

My wife had gone out to dinner with her Mom because she lost her Dad last year and wanted to prop up momma. I was supposed to just golf with my 13 yo boy. My daughter (15) and 11 yo son would have none of it and piled on. Not thinking it was smart to leave the 5yo boy by himself I decided to take him along. He ended up riding on my lap and steering the cart for the most part.

After playing 9 holes I was exhausted from trying to keep them from killing each other with snap-hook shots. We decided to hit the clubhouse and have a late bite at around 9. Pretty sweet way to wrap up Daddy's day.

Best to all the other Fathers. ~NPR

[Goobzilla]

The cats haven't got me anything...yet. But Mrs. Goob says they've got a few ideas.

[RhymesayersDU]

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Last year, I decided to do something really special and take my dad to the Chiefs/Broncos opener in Denver, and while it's not very original this time, it seems like it may turn into a tradition, as I'm going to again spring for some lower level tickets to the Monday Night game this year.

He took me to my first and only game in Mile High, and I got to take him to his first game at Invesco. I'll never forget those games sitting with him.

[gunns]

My daughter colored on some typing paper for me. I'm not sure what it is but it looks wonderful.

Those are the best gifts.

Happy Fathers day to all you dads and all your dads and especially to the men who can't be with their children today because they are in the military and to the dads whose children will visit them in cemeteries.

[Blueflame]

Hope all the Mane's Dads had a great Fathers' Day. :thumbsup:

[Mr. Trout]

[bendog]

Mrs Dog let me clean the bathrooms and sweep the floors. I bought me and little girl dog new tennis rackets, me a sixer of Bud's heinkin clone and some cigars, and grilled blue cheese hamburgers.

[bendog]

ps, got to watch the nfl channel's 'in their own words' on Cool Lou Saban. That brought back memories of my dad. The funny ones.

[Old Dude]

I got some swell gifts ... a book I'd been wanting for awhile and a South Park DVD set.

Hung out most of the day with the kids at the Renaissance Fair in Larkspur. Saw some amusing things there.

Hot as heck, tho.

Happy Belated Father's Day to all the OM dads...

This is a little old...but I love the sentiment!

>> Subject: Fw: Father's Day
>>
>>
>> This was around a year ago, but it deserves another round for this
>> Father's Day.
>>
>> Subject: My Daddy
>>
>> Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow.
>> Today was "Daddy's Day" at school, and she couldn't wait to go.
>>
>> But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home.
>> Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone.
>>
>> But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say.
>> What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today.
>>
>> But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone.
>> And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home.
>>
>> But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all.
>> About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls.
>>
>> There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet.
>> Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats.
>>
>> One by one the teacher called a student from the class.
>> To introduce their daddy, as seconds slowly passed.
>>
>> At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare.
>> Each of them was searching, for a man who wasn't there.
>>
>> "Where's her daddy at?!" she heard a boy call out.
>> "She probably doesn't have one," another student dared to shout.
>>
>> And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say,
>> "Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day."
>>
>> The words did not offend her, as she smiled up at her Mom.
>> And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on.
>>
>> And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak.
>> And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique.
>>
>> "My Daddy couldn't be here, because he lives so far away.
>> But I know he wishes he could be, since this is such a special day.
>>
>> "And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know.
>> All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so.
>>
>> "He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike.
>> He surprised me with pink roses, and taught me to fly a kite.
>>
>> "We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone.
>> And though you cannot see him. I'm not standing here alone.
>>
>> "Cause my daddy's always with me, even though we are apart.
>> I know because he told me, he'll forever be in my heart."
>>
>> With that, her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest.
>> Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress.
>>
>> And from somewhere in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.
>> Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years.
>>
>> For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life.
>> Doing what was best for her, doing what was right.
>>
>> And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.
>> She finished with a voice so soft, but its message clear and loud.
>>
>> "I love my daddy very much, he's my shining star.
>> And if he could, he'd be here, but heaven's just too far.
>>
>> "You see he was a fireman and died just this past year
>> When airplanes hit the towers and taught Americans to fear.
>>
>> "But sometimes when I close my eyes, it's like he never went away."
>> And then she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day.
>>
>> And to her mother's amazement, she witnessed with surprise.
>> A room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes.
>>
>> Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside.
>> Perhaps, for merely a second, they saw him at her side.
>>
>> "I know you're with me Daddy," to the silence she called out.
>> And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt.
>>
>> Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been
>> closed.
>> But there on the desk beside her, was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
>>
>> And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining
>> star.
>> And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far.
