I very successfully raised two very good looking daughters that were male magnets from about the age 13 on, and one son. Let me tell you, in my case I would rather bring up ten sons to one girl. I think the youngest daughter married a jerk that I highly disapproved of just to spite me, it only lasted 5 years. She now wishes she had listened to Daddy and Praise the Lord there were no children resulting from that mistake of a marriage. She is now married to a man that I introduced her to. They have blessed me with two grandchildren. You think about it, it's kinda funny. I introduced my bride to her new husband and my youngest daughter to hers.

I never did clean any guns in front of the boys, but then again I did teach a few hand to hand combat classes when I worked for my uncle. You just need to understand facial expressions and body language. And don't worry about being nice or polite. You know what they're after.

Gonna make a big change of subject here. I've been a smoker for nearly 48 years. Did not start until I went in the Marines and found out I was the only non smoker in the recruit platoon of 90 young men. Dumbest thing I've ever done. I have 2 cigarettes left as of right now. Hopefully they will be my last forever. Please keep your fingers crossed for my success. Stopping the beer is a piece of cake, smoking is another kettle of fish entirely.

There's no need to wait that long. Of course I live in a small town, but I started giving the boys dirty looks when they were 9 or 10 years old. One of my fondest memories was when my daughter was 12 and one of the trouble maker boys said to my daughter, "You live there? I heard the guy that lives there is really mean".

As for facial expressions and body language, I know what you mean there too.
If we as young men, and boys knew what it really ment to have a daughter, would we have behaved any different around the girls? I say yes, but I was generally a pretty good boy anyway. That's something you can't explain, you have to have one to understand the feeling.

Kettle of fish. And you think we talk funny down here?
Good luck on quiting Mark. Are you going to try the patch or gum, or just go cold turkey? Let us know your last day and we'll give you sh** if you start back up again.

I know exactly what you mean Mark. The word was take 10-15, "smoke'em if ya gotem". So now if you didn't have any, you stood around and watched folks smoke cigarettes that they sold on base for about $5 a carton. I am still hooked on those stupid things. Good luck.
Oh, and don't sweat the change of subject. This thread has nothing to do with the 7.3 anyway.

Good luck Mark!! I am sure you can do it if you are ready to quit and set your mind too it!
When I was in HS my dad didnt say a word the the guys I brought home. He just sat there and looked at them like he would kill them if they did me wrong. My HS sweetheart and I got into a fight one night, well he was yelling at me and I was laughing at him because he was being an idiot. I was sitting on the trunk on my car during all this. He got so mad he punched out my tail lights. Dumb Dumb Dumb. He had to have surgery on his hand to re-attach his tendons. Needless to say the next time my dad saw him he had him by the throat and up against a wall. Brian didn't say crap to me after that, he was too afraid of my dad. LOL. Too this day he is still afraid of my dad and that happened 12 years ago.

Mark, try some zyban, helped me quit dipping, can a day for 15 years.
As far as daughters go I'm either blessed or cursed. I have 4 of them, oldest is 13 and youngest is 2 weeks. All the young gentlemen know who I am and I have a stare down that makes most drill sergeants skirm. So far I thing my oldest uses this to her advantage, when a boy asks her out that she is not interested in she just asks "do you know my dad" and that is the end of it. Raising my children has been the toughest job I have ever done but it has also been the most rewarding.
Just got informed that the tooth fairy need to pay a visit tonight.
