There it is, folks: the hardcase bastage who, like all genuine hardcase bastages, is all gooey inside.I’m sorry to hear that things are so dark and gloomy and Cat. When my Linda died nine years ago, I dated a couple times but I just didn’t have any desire to do that. I’ve been alone since she’s past, but I’ve done the best I can to make my life much more enjoyable place. First and foremost I have my boys, which is the most important thing to me. I am very lucky where my best friend shares his very large family with me on all the holidays, I would highly encourage you to reach out and adopt a pet. I promise you you won’t regret it because animals give 100% of themselves 100% of the time I feel a little bloated because I ate a lot but I didn’t eat too much this year. I hope you folks all had a great holiday with people that you love. I’m getting ready to hit the sack, but I got to give the boys their loving first.
Congratulations most honorable elder brothersan! My ancestors have been short lived as well.I am in an incredibly good mood!!
Yesterday was wonderful, and I managed to cross off something on my Bucket List that I had never been able to do until I put my hand on my DIL's tummy and felt my great-granddaughter move. I had never been successful in feeling a baby move, even with my own two sons. Brought tears to my eyes.
I am the first living great-grandfather in the history of my Family back to 1605. Fourteen generations.
I pointed out that tummy wiggle had just about filled out my Bucket List, and I'd done it all.
This morning found a present left from my two sons. It is a folded piece of paper with a header:
To Do ListHere is what they wrote:
1. Conquer France
2. Fix Warp Drive
3. Define God
4. Restart Big Bang
5. Travel Back In Time
6. Remember How To Fly When Awake
I have two of the finest -- and most completely different -- sons. One is a grandfather-to-be, a National Judo Champion and a holder of Black Belts in Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Kendo, the other is an upper-tier doctor of the kind you will never see again.
Secretly, I have tried #6.
@Gypsy Nirvana, sometimes when your heart reaches out to a brother or sister in pain, an empathy emoji feels more appropriate than like, laugh, love, or sad. Wish we had one for our type of old fart dialog.I've made a decision, I've started to implement: I don't think it's appropriate to leave my 'laughing' emoji on posts that mention death. Even sickness/pain gives me pause.
SO, I will refrain from replying with any emoji to those posts.
