I havent gone back to look at the rest of what he wrote, but in 4 years he managed a total of 30 posts. I am sure the total contribution of them is squat. begone with him.

What a flippin' IDIOT!! Asesine comments like that have no business here or anywhere in my opinion. Add another to those that choose a more positive role here in ignoring that fool.
You have the TRUE defenders behind you, MG. Very sorry to hear about your mother and all my best as well.

In all honesty, I didn't take part in the initial 'Black Friday' rush as my wife and eldest daughter opted...they were up at 3:30 that morning and arrived at the Wal-Mart by us just in time for the 4am opening. It was (by all description) very quick and busy...but the most out of hand region of the store seemed to be reserved to the electronics department (thank Christ). Her only M.O. for going there at all was because of the 75%+ off savings that were going on with some of the young miss/adult ladies' clothing....jeans, tops...shit like that. The girls have been needing some new clothing for some time now, and my wife managed to capitalize on the sales quotients...picking up said items for both of our daughters, a quick peruse through toys for some of the younger children in the family, hopped upon a line that was quite small and quickly moving..and got the hell outta there. I later joined my wife to set up the lay-away business we had to take care of at K-Mart...which went surprisingly smooth...but it's some of what I witnessed there, and the things I heard about later that day that really got me to thinking. I just can't excuse or rationalize such Cro-Mag behaviors as I learned about in Valley Stream (and anywhere else this had happened). It was a stark reminder of the madness that took place back when the 'Cabbage Patch Kids,' 'Tickle Me Elmo,' 'iPods,' and other high-demand items that emerged in the last 25 years to better tempt the consumer dollar. I'm sorry....but when something like that deduces the "..most advanced race" of this planet to mindless, careless, heartless frenzies....it behooves the ENTIRETY of those of us left with SOME semblance of decency and respect to set a new example and tell these retailers/manufacturers to take their 'must-have' items and shove 'em clean up their chocolate wizz-ways. Yes...I know how ironic that just sounded....LOL!!!
....it's a lot less harmful than hearing about store employees who won't be able to join their own families for the holidays because they DIED in the name of trying to make OTHER people's holiday "....happy and prosperous."

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 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.

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! |

Hey! Hello Joe...
Thanks, good to be back. What was wrong with your kitten!??
Congrats on the bike -- do you have snow tires on it? (Oops, guess you don't 'em in Africa! lol...)
Silly me...

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...)

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 ?

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.
