so i'll tell you their secret. my dad laid it on me the day i got married. he pulled me aside in the hallway of the church and asked me if i knew the secret to a succesful marriage. i said "what is it?". and he said "she tells me what to do, and i do it." that has cracked me up for years. but its only recently that i realized that it really is good advice. not literally, in the her bossing me around way, but it means i should do the things she wants and needs me to do. it means i'm ca

i was home. asleep when the first one hit. i remember picking up my son, who was 4 months old at the time, and turning on the news, because my sister in law had called to tell us about the first plane. that was the first day i ever payed any attention to the world. it drasticaly changed my life. at some point during that day i realized that my kids were going to grow up in a totally different world than i did.

Reply to Emily and Echo Taps in Misc JoeUser Forums

i want to start by saying that i am also very proud of emily. it brings tears to my eyes every time i have the honor of taking her to a veterans funeral to play taps. she found out about it on her own, makes all the deals, and just tells us where she needs to be and when she needs to be there. and dad is right, she is a beautiful, professional woman when she does this volunteer work. she takes it very seriously, and has become an often requested bugler. its hard to believe she's the same kid

its definately a strange thing to have the town you were born in "close down". haha! i'll never forget the trails in the woods there that were made by thousands of kids over several decades, tearing it up on their bikes.

Reply to PADDLING in Misc JoeUser Forums

they wanted to paddle me for not doing my homework. crazy. this is a small story to my dad, but a defining moment in my life. i will never forget the faces of my pricipal and math teacher when they came in the office and saw my dad in full army-man uniform. priceless. they left me alone to dwell on the spanking that was coming. i was scared as hell, so i called my dad at work. he was there in what seemed like less than 5 min. dad not only prevented the paddling, but it was ama

my wife agrees with you. strongly. and i know that there is a lot i don't understand. i know that making the bad guys pay is all we got. i guess i'm just glad that when it came down to it,we didn't judge the guy twice. the compassion law is on the books, and when it came down, we upheld the law and didn't say it was ok for some, but not this guy. the law may be wrong or at the very least questionable, but its there. and we followed it because we are right. we do the right things.

Reply to al-Megrahi Going Home? in Misc Stardock Forums

you know, i have a hard time with this one as well. i believe that showing compassion is the right thing to do. it proves that we are the good guys. the bad guys will see it as weakness, but who cares what the bad guys think? they'll never get it anyway. bad guys don't think the same way we do. its why we fight. they don't have any respect for life, but we do. its the very reason we are fighting. we took the high road on this, not to show anyone anything, but just because its the law in scotl

so, a couple of weeks ago, two very nice ladies came into the tattoo shop. right away the whole shop smelled like cotton candy. it was great. they started to ask our other artist some questions, but he cut them off after a minute and said "i got to get this out of the way before we go on, one of you smells delicious." i guess he's pretty smooth with the ladies, too.

i'm with you bfd! i am thinking about all the people who have put it all down for us. i look at my babies and can't believe how lucky i am to have what i have. thanks to all the vets and to all the kids who didn't make it home. and to all of their families for helping to keep mine safe and FREE! we'll never be perfect, but i love our country, and always will. and i'll be proud as hell if any of my children choose to join the military, or any form of public service.

Reply to The Little Sister in Misc Stardock Forums

i was just telling sara the other day that part of being a parent is the little ego trip when one of your kids does something that reminds you of yourself. it's great to watch them figure things out. unfortunately, jaybird has a lot of the same problems i had in school. i feel bad for her, but part of me is glad that i understand her, and that she understands me. and maxxo looks at me over his glasses. it cracks me up, cause it reminds me of you.

Reply to The Little Sister in Misc Stardock Forums

dad, this is hilarious. my jaybean has a super hard pinch that she (for unknown reasons) calls a "chinese" pinch. she pinches you, then grabs her pinchin' fingers with the thumb and forefinger of her other hand. she's not allowed to touch maxxo with it, cuz it's the only thing she does to him that really gets him upset. jaybean and roddie have a few things in common. and jay is still in love with her "tiny little" aunt.

you know, i'm proud to say that maxxo and jaybean both knew the pledge before they started kindergarten. the band recently played the half-time show for our hometown rollerderby girls. at the beginning, they played the national anthem and we of course dropped what we were doing and had our hands over our hearts, and were looking at our flag. i realized right away that it had been a long time since i had the oppurtunity to do that. i got goosebumps. i felt proud to stand on stage in tha
