Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: Happy Father's Day to all the dads

It's a possibility.

littleb, I know it's gut wrenching when they leave. It's a whole different thing when they come back.

I had a unique Dad's Day offering that I'll share. My oldest (27) went to Italy with her guy of 3 years. I told my wife that we should expect an excited phone call from a gondola in Venice with news of an engagement. It happened exactly as I predicted. Pretty neat.

Now, we will need to organize some OT thread to funnel the much needed contributions to pay for a wedding next year. Shouldn't need much. I can probably get the free hall for free. Really, how much can a barrel of beer, a tub of hot dogs and a polka band cost? Oh, and a bottle of carbonated Ripple for the toast.

Hey, you're old enough to be my dad! I turned 27 last month.

It's always nice when the free hall is, indeed, free.

I'm only 34. I was VERY precocious!

Are you kidding? He's old enough to be MY dad!

Interesting, this is the first time in my life I have felt really, really, really old.

Ray,

At least (if I remember correctly), you have been able to put in the time before she got married. My daughter will have been married for two years in August...and I turn 44 in November...Thank goodness they are waiting to have kids...Sheesh!

I understand how you feel, dude. My son is 12 and recently confessed to his mother about his first kiss...

E Gads...

PS. Why do you need a Polka Band? You've got Axioms, an SVS, a 3803 and a CD player, right?

That makes sense - a really good polka SACD!!! I wonder if those terms are mutually exclusive.
