father
huerfano: Why is Joseph so often portrayed as an old man in so many Renaissance paintings?
Me: Dad's birthday.
Cthu: ...He lives on in memory. Thank you for sharing, so he can live a bit more with us....
"I have to keep reminding myself he's not joking."
Up to #550. Someone said cm9000's pseudo-concern trolling is too realistic. It is. I have to keep reminding myself he's not joking.

Milady and I had a nice dinner with our daughter and my Mom for Father's Day. I guess the honoree was me. Ordered in Indian food (dot, not feather). Good stuff.
The Sheriff Andy clip enticed me to go check out the article on TV dads. Other than Andy, I recognized most of the shows, and have never watched any of them. But, I'm ollllld.
Howdy, y'all.
Darned if all three of my tykes (grown adult tykes) didn't send me a Happy Father's Day text today, after all!
No necktie, though.
@votermom #7: ...I was looking for a dad book to put on the blog and found a 1953 little golden book...
That was cute.
(take the square root, multiply by Pi... ummm...)
My dad has been dead three times longer than I was years old when he died.
My dad died suddenly (after years of poor health) at age 50, fourteen years younger than I am now. I never got to know him, as an adult.
The felines I've known acting as parents are all female, the way farm cats can be, but I have had a male more-or-less adopt a stray kit who wandered in.
FenelonSpoke, saw late that you had asked about my dad, who shares your bdy yesterday. I mentioned he would've been 98, but has been gone for 48 years.
HBD, FenelonSpoke (if you're still reading this stomped thread).
It's my Dad's bdy. He'd've been 98 if he'd lived.
J.J. Sefton: Today would have been by dad's 91st birthday. I miss that old boy.
Stringer Davis: it's not the notion of Godhead that has changed, but the concept of fatherhood. Oh, and Judgment.
Stringer Davis: evangelizing atheists first posit a hairy-thunderer god and call that impossible...
bluebird: "Actually, almost everything I ever said to my father fell on deaf ears, but that’s another story."
And a sad one you've mentioned before. My sympathies, and prayers for you.
Son knew for some time that the alternator on his old car was going bad. And now...
"Dad, can you give me a lift to work this morning to begin management training?"
Thanks for the B-day wishes. MWW. That is young to lose a father. I'm sorry Mine was in his late forties. AllenG is having a birthday tomorrow, I believe.
Morning, Glories!
A day without Vic News is like a day without bacon. You can survive it easily enough, but....
FenelonSpoke, belated HBD! Many happy returns.
The link to Is Fatherhood Being Killed so the State Can Play God - I've got to try to remember to come back to these articles when I'm on the real computer, not trying to follow the thread...
Weird Dave and Gingy go with Bomber to Ft McHenry and the souvenier photo is a barrel??
Morons!
Love these folks!
Thanks for fine Friday collection, Pete.
By the way, oh Garden friends…
EYAAAHHHHGGG!
Where are we all now, here or actually moved on to...Gabe's Governor Gay thread? I've just been sitting here reading long time, trailing the pack.
Urf! Got a late start this morning. At least I'm dressed, pets are fed, and I have coffee.
"Marotta had argued that he had waived his parental rights and didn't intend to be a father. ...
Dec 17. Just realized, it's Dad's birthday!
Women marry their dads.. and men their mothers... surprised at responses.. thought this was Common Knowledge stuff.
Over thirty years and I still have to play Daddy to the little hooligans. I'd say when does it stop, but my 93yo mother says it doesn't. Ever seen Mr Hobbs takes a vacation? Stewart had it easy.
Lost Dad suddenly in 1968. Mrs lost her dad the same year. Now I'm 10 years older than he ever got to be. I always wonder, would the man who helped turn the Okla.
