Make that two (reports).
IDK, maybe we should raise the required number of respect points? The rate at which these assoles appear is unbelievable.

Freeze, congratulations on your sobriety! I think it is wonderful that you have realized true unconditional love. What is also amazing and wonderful is that you shared this with us all. Thank you.

This holiday was a gentle reminder of what is really important to me. Family. The love of a daughter that had such a terrible father years ago. The cheer of two adorable grandsons that remind me SO much of me and my brothers. The warmth of an evening by the fire, laughing and remembering that no matter what has happened, there is always redemption. There is love. There is family.
Yesterday, I celebrated something else that is so very important to me. My fourth year of sobriety. To have my daughter here for that milestone was extra special. For you see, she was the one that endured a childhood without a dad. She had to see things a child should never see. And yet, she loves me. We come together on this special day and we are father and daughter. Something we were not, all those years ago. I treasure this time of my life more than anything. Through clear, sober eyes, I see the woman that was once my daughter. I see the mother that was once my daughter. I see the wife that was once my daughter. And now, I can see the man that was not a dad, but has been redeemed, and I am proud. I am thankful.

Such kind and generous words from dear, dear friends. I would only hope that I am able to live up to such lofty opinions! Honestly, I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of your wonderful comments. They mean so very much to me. This truly is an accomplishment, especially given just how low I was way back then. I do not exaggerate when I tell you I was a true low-life.
The gifts I have received from you all today are very special to me. My very, VERY deepest and most sincere thanks to joe. She knows why. I really think this has been a great holiday. I am SO glad I have all of you with whom to share it! |

Freeze,
You are forever a gentleman & a scholar.
Enjoy the fruits of your labours, as it sounds like you deserve it.
Some fathers are simply content to continue blaming their children for their own offensive actions in the past, and therefore spend many solitary holidays with no daughters around at all... Not that I know anything about that ... !
It takes a brave person to admit mistakes and learn from them, this is what makes it easy for those they have offended to forgive and move on. Until that is done, nothing changes. You were the catalyst that made your present contentment happen.
You should be proud of yourself. I am. (Your daughter and grandchildren are lucky, too...)

That, my dear friends, is a joy that I do hope each of you can share someday. And now....silence. Just this computer and the TV. Serenity returns.
This holiday was a gentle reminder of what is really important to me. Family. The love of a daughter that had such a terrible father years ago. The cheer of two adorable grandsons that remind me SO much of me and my brothers. The warmth of an evening by the fire, laughing and remembering that no matter what has happened, there is always redemption. There is love. There is family.
Yesterday, I celebrated something else that is so very important to me. My fourth year of sobriety. To have my daughter here for that milestone was extra special. For you see, she was the one that endured a childhood without a dad. She had to see things a child should never see. And yet, she loves me. We come together on this special day and we are father and daughter. Something we were not, all those years ago. I treasure this time of my life more than anything. Through clear, sober eyes, I see the woman that was once my daughter. I see the mother that was once my daughter. I see the wife that was once my daughter. And now, I can see the man that was not a dad, but has been redeemed, and I am proud. I am thankful.

Ah! Nice and quiet in here now! First, I must say how wonderful it is to see old friends return! Tim, Bev, WW!!! Welcome back and please know that you have been missed. It is my sincere hope that you do not make long absences your habit!
The Princess woke up with a bad cold this morning, courtesy of my two grandsons that brought it along with them! *ugh* My daughter and the rest just left a while ago and I am, once again, sitting quietly in the living room...alone. It is amazing what turbulence children bring with them and how much we miss it when they go... I do not believe I have ever seen two more stressed out cats! HA!!! It was truly a wonderful Thanksgiving in spite of the dreadful illness that will soon be passed from the Princess to me. A very small price to pay for the joy of seeing my two, beautiful grandchildren smiling and laughing and asking me a million questions! That, my dear friends, is a joy that I do hope each of you can share someday. And now....silence. Just this computer and the TV. Serenity returns.

Busy as usual. Soccer tourney this weekend. 5 games in 2 days. Should be interesting to say the least. As usual, I can't say no to the kids and have "inherited" the assistant coaching job for my son's soccer team. Having a blast ! I'm actually getting into some real kind of shape again and the kids love seeing the old man out there with them. They get pissed at me, but they respect the fact that I can walk the walk. How's life in the Great White North ?

Taking a bit of a breather between my massive Mexican spread (tradition around my house). Frijoles done, pico de gallo done, tamales done, Lions losing in a big way. Yup! All on track save for the marathon making of the enchiladas which are the final item on the list. So, to all who celebrate, cheers. To all that don't? Have a drink and hug a mexican! LOL!!!! |

Thankful for you all. |

| I join the rest of you in wishing my "Metal Family" the very best Thanksgiving Day. Over the past few months, there have been many events and changes in my life. I am thankful that I have been able to share so many of them with you. Here's to another year of reasons to be thankful. All my best! See you soon! |

Not stupid at all! I would be glad to enlighten you!
The basic history of the American Thanksgiving dates back to the 1600's when pilgrims (English Seperatists) settled in Plymouth. They faced severe hardships the first year. Lost about half the population, I believe. Anyway, the second year they were here was a good one. They decided to celebrate with a big feast and invited the Native Indians that had helped them out. It lasted a few days...more like the old English Harvest festival.
In the late 1700's, Washington declared a national day of Thanksgiving but ran into a bunch of grief from the citizenry. I think Jefferson opposed the whole thing. Anyway, I believe Lincoln approved the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving. There you have it.

So sorry I was not able to spend much time with you all yesterday. It appears my daughter and grandsons are quite prolific in the ways of the computer and have been without one for several months! I fear my time will be rather limited for the next couple days! Just in case I am not able to say this tomorrow;
A Most Glorious Thanksgiving to all!! |
