Well all, I'm back.

Anything going on in here tonight or am I going to have to entertain myself again with a badly written short to use up bandwidth?

Outstanding. That is one thing I haven't had the chance to do. (I am still the only white boy to attend services in a certain Alabama Baptist Church. Tocked their world I can tell you.)

I was going to ask what kids, we don't have any here when it dawned on me what kids you meant. Sick them on the R.A. when he has a hangover.

hehe... Been there, done that, at a REVIVAL no less. It was... an experience.

Would, but it's a dry county. One of them has been sent to bed already (hour and a half early) and since he's the catalyst it's calmed down a little.

*shudders*
Dry County? No thank you.

Hmmmm did the little one get on your nerves a tad bit? Or did he manage to break something other than his head? (Looking back at my own times growing up and why I was sent to bed early.)

Ahhhhh revival meetings, now they can be an experience. Been to several of those. Sad to say I was never moved to talk in tongues, although one time with the preachers daughter,,,,,, ahhh no we wont go there.

Nerves? Yes. Broken? Sent to bed before he got that far. Barely.

I can easily remember the time I was sent to bed with stripes for breaking the wondiw out of the hayloft of our barn. Although to be fair my father had just finished reglazing the window, (Old style 16 pane window) to keep the racoons out. I had very studiously broken ever pane out because of the sound the glass made.

The next day I learned how to glaze windows. (Hey at least he let me wear gloves.)

The only dry county I have ever lived in was Barrow Alaska. It's so far north it doesn't even snow much. (It does have plenty of booze though, it's called human anti-freeze.)

If the lamp weren't physically attached (as in screwed onto) to the wall, he would have been tanned. It takes a good amount of time for them to move me to physical action, but when they do, they know it.

Oh it took a lot to get my father that irritated. (Good thing too.) Unfortunately I was a hellion. (Was? )

The worst beating ever witnessed was thankfully not given to me. Our next door neighbor in Great Falls, just before we moved out of town, was a good sized Good Ol' Boy who decided one afternoon to "discipline" his wife. (For not doing the laundry to his liking if I recall correctly.) My father went through the fence, (not over it, through it,) and grabeed him by the throat and started slapping him. Nice full power open handed slaps to the face. (You have to understand, this guy was about six foot and flabby while my father is six foot two inches, 250 pounds of ex-airborne. At 70 years old he still runs 5 miles a day and lifts weights.)

It took four cops and a nightstick to make my father let go of the guy. Later all charges were dropped against my father. (As far as I know that guy never lifted a hand against another women. His wife left him soon after this happened and he never did seem quite right after meeting my father.) That was one of three times in my life I have seen my father live up to his Berserker Birthright. (Hmmmm I wonder were I get my feelings/views on spousal abuse from?)

Was... *snerk*

i like your dad.

Yeah so do I.
Funny thing is, while I lived at home I didn't get along with him. Hell we had some rather nasty disagreements. (After a while these led to broken bones for both of us.) Finally I moved out, I couldn't stand the bastard. It was only after I moved out and was living on my own that it dawned on me what he had been teaching me. He had been teaching me how to survive. It didn't take me much longer to understand one of the reasons we didn't get along while I lived at home was because we were too much alike.

It took some living and some experiences to understand this. It took my father ending up in the hospital stopping what could only be considered a sexual attack to make me understand. It took me traveling through my own hell to truly understand what he was doing and why.

Now? My father and I are there for each other, no questions asked. We will do things with each other we would never even consider doing with others. The level of trust and love between us is incredible. The feeling I got when he first shook my hand then gave me an Abrazo was incredible. In his eyes I was a man.

It took a while.

The funniest/most shocking thing I have ever dealt with was when my wife and I visited soon after we got married.

My parents were living/staying in a travel trailor as they traveled the country. They were in a camp ground in the Florida Keys when my wife and I came down for a short vacation from the winter cold in New England. To my surprise my father had set up a rather large tent for us. I didn't bother asking why, he had his reasons I was sure. As he was showing us the tent and pointing out the path to the beach in the nearly deserted campground he made the comment that blew me away.

"We set you up in the tent so you have a little privacy. Now that you are married you'll need it, not to mention I don't feel like being woken up in the middle of the night thinking we're having an earthquake as the two of you make the beast with two backs. Oh and the beach is right over there. Your mother and I don't head down there until well after seven so have fun."

This was said with a straight face by my father, who can and will quote from the bible in several languages including Latin.

hehe... i can see my dad doing something similar.

It may have been shocking to you, but you have to remember that he'd been married for a while. i would expect he would have known by that time just what happens between newlyweds.

Oh I know he knew what happens between newlywweds. (He has three kids remember.) Not to mention between those who have been married for quite a while. Personaly I think he just didn't want him and my mother to be interrupted.

Oh and just to set the record straight. I firmly disagree with the common position of many nursing homes to seperate married couples because "those things" just shouldn't happen. (I worked in one for a week once. Then I got fired because I made sure to give married couples time to be alone with their doors closed.)

That's an insanely old fashioned view. If two people are physically able, willing, and all that other stuff, they should be allowed to do what comes naturally.

Hey we agree on this.
My great grandfather was a bit of a scandel in the family, He died at age 94 when he stepped in front of a New York City Transit bus. No he didn't commit suicide, he was distracted. He was coming home from his Girlfriends house. (She was 56 that Cradle Robber.)

A bit of humor. Yesterday I was helping a couple of E.M.T.'s pick up one of my patients for transport home. One of the E.M.T.'s was trying to pick me up. What was too funny was her reaction when she realized she was almost exactly half my age. (I'm 40.) What was even funnier was her reaction to seeing my wife, who happens to be in much better shape and much better looking than she was. I felt complimented all day. So did my wife.

i really like your great grandfather.

It feels good, doesn't it? People ask me whose kids i'm babysitting all the time, until they get a good look at them. The middle one looks just like me with brown eyes. The oldest has my eyes and face shape, and the youngest has a strong resemblance as well, though it's not as easy to nail down just why.

Yeah my Grandfather was a scandle to many in my family. Too bad for them my father takes after him. It's much too bad that I intend on breaking his record.

Hmmmmm, it can't be in the genes, my brother and sister are some of those scandalized by his and my actions.

It all depends on which genes are passed down, isn't it?

My writing is mediocre at best and I readily admit that. What is more imprtant to me is the fact that I enjoy writing. Sometimes, occasionaly I get feedback that makes it all worrth while. (The feedback for Beahc Party shows what I mean quite nicely.) When I can cause a person to respond, to feel from deep inside themselves then I am happy.
