You go Lisa!!! I know I was a royal PAIN as a kid, but I know that I never spoke to customers like that. Mom & Dad would whoop my butt for even HEARING about something like that, much less witnessing it! There's something to be said for the occassional, well-timed butt-whoopin'...

Cheers. Boy could I use a stiff drink. What an awful day!

Yeah I agree on the whoopin part. I got a few good whoopins when I was a kid, and boy does that get your attention. These days, all you can really do legally is put a kid in "time out" and they learn to be sneaky, manipulative little brats, and turn into disrespectful, self-entitled little adults.

Gezz do I sound like a sour old man or what. Slloooowww Dooowwwn :shakes cane:

Sometimes the right things happen to the right people.

Lots of margaritas this weekend. Did you guys ever try the coconut marg recipe I sent ya?
Thank you, Lisa. I am flattered, truly.

Haven't tried the coconut margaritas yet. We will probably do this next weekend at our end of summer bash. Jet skiing, margaritas, grilling brats and ribs and hanging out all weekend.

Working tomorrow for what will probably be my last mandatory weekend.

Nah, not interested in Chris' daughter, I have somebody else that I am..., well we won't go there, things have a tendency to go places they shouldn't in this thread. I just thought Chris should have fair warning, judging from some of the other threads that are current in this forum right now.

I do not think it is illegal to paddle their little ***'s everywhere in the country. Probably is on the Left Coast though. If these silly dumb stupid not thought out at all laws were in place when we were having our family I would have had my vasectomy at age 18, instead of 33.

Thanks for the concern Mike, but as Lisa pointed out, I can be a mean SOB if you come near my daughter. She's actually dated a couple of boys over the years that I never even spoke to. They would come over and wait for her down stairs and I would just sit and stare at them. My wife would make idle chit chat, but I would just glare.

I also explained to my daughter I would never tell her boyfriend to pull his pants up since the style now seems to be letting your underwear hand out the top of your britches. I simply told her that if the boys pants were too low for my liking I would walk up to him and pull his pants up for him. I never once had to tell someone to pull their pants up, although I did get up for a beer once when one fellow whose pants were near boderline was over. He grabbed his pants and headed for the back door.

It's nice to have the reputation of a mean dad. (to the boys). None of the girls were ever scared of me, but of course I didn't have any problems with them.

I do believe you're worried about zero here kid. The chances of a Caucasian on Caucasian war anytime soon are slim to none. The Muslims and a couple of Oriental Nations are the ones we have to worry about. The Russians are fully aware of this also. Russia is overstepping its bounds with the Georgia thing, but I do not think the US will get involved.

What's that country song about the dad sitting at home cleaning a gun? Was that you?

Now that I am working with the sheriff's department I need a belt for my gun, not that I ever left the house without one before, but you get the point.

Way to set the standards.

My daughter is only 18 months old. My son is 5 years old. I believe when she starts dating, I will have a very clean gun collection.
