I just did. Love it, and wish I could see Larry's face when he reads it. Check out the change in my sig.

Regin, sorry to hear that. In know exactly what you mean. A few years back an old friend (well, more of a brother of a friend) died of Meningitis. I hadn't seen him for absolutely ages but I used to know the guy quite well back in the day. You just don't know what to feel in that situation. Really weird.

Anyway, I am feeling a bit weird this evening without remembering that. I have just got back from my Dad's house, which was rather nice. Home cooked food for once instead of the usual student halls fair. But I feel a bit odd towards my Dad anyway. He is technically a bit of a git for the various things he has done, and he isn't the nicest person to know at times, but for some reason I still get on with him. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had met him and he wasn't my father, but probably not as much as I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't left my mother. I haven't seen him in 2 months, so today just bought back the ambiguity of the whole thing.

Anyway, how is everyone else?

Conan kicks the door open Hey you guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

hands Galandria a note.."tell your Dad he is a true battle warrior" and then before you can thank him.. he leaves without notice.

Barry, I wouldn't worry about it. Most guys in their late teens and early twenties have problems with their fathers. It's part of the learning to be an autonomous adult. Of course, I don't know the man, but, chances are, when you get older you'll get along better.
Edit: "Thanks, Conan," she hollers to his retreating back

I just *almost* went totally off on a poster over on my thread about parental ethics! That kid had me going! (still seeing red!)

Like the new sig tag, Gala.

Youngsters have a tendency to do that.

Hello everyone! [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

It's been awhile since I've stopped in. How's everyone been? Is there any fresh coffee? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I don' really know about this. I think there is a lot of that in it, but I have been starting to like him more over the last few years. And I realised what a bastard he was quite some time ago. It seems there is no rational explanation to like him, but I still do. Very odd. But I think you are right, as I get older I hope to respect him more, of not actually get on with him.

I suppose the biggest irony of the whole thing is that he left my mother for another woman, he left her with three kids aged 3-5 and she didn't have a job. But now he has just had his 10th wedding anniversary with my stepmother, who he left my mother for. And my mother has just passed the 6 year mark with my stepfather. Everyone is happy now, a lot happier than when they were married. Very odd, very very odd.
