jb - hi.  Wow.  I got on here thinking there would be pages of messages cuz I haven't been on for a couple of weeks, but there are only these two from you answering my last message.  I wish that meant no one lost their dad in the last two weeks, but it's a big world, so I know that is not the case.  I hope my dad and your dad are hanging out in heaven, because they were so much alike.  Those are funny practical jokes you shared.  My dad loved practical jokes so much.  Our last name, at least before i got married, is Parton.  My dad got everyone at this one huge company he worked at convinced that Dolly Parton was his ex-wife..  It started with this one guy getting on the elevator and talking nasty about Dolly's bosoms, and my dad said, "Hey, do you know my last name?"  The guy said, "Yeah, Parton."  My dad said, "Hey, have a little respect and don't talk about my ex-wife that way."  The guy got all flustered and started apologizing and spread it all over the work place only for my dad to announce on April Fool's day that it was all a joke.  People thought it was hilarious.  My dad never really sang songs, but I sing goofy songs like that all the time, so I figure I got it from my dad since he was the one who had that kind of sense of humor.  One of the songs I've been singing lately is from That's Amore, only I've been changing the words (to get the kids to laugh) to "If your down by the sea and an eel bites your knees that's A Moray".  I figure I got this sense of humor from my dad.  My dad never got to go to school or get any education at all.  He couldn't read or write, so I don't know if he knew the words to songs well enough to make them funny or he would have cuz he was always making jokes about everything and pulling practical jokes.  He used to make Mad Cow jokes too when Mad Cow disease was out.  I hope they are hanging out in heaven together and just having the time of their lives.

jb - my husband's blood sugar is very very slowly starting to come down as they increase his insulin a bit every three days.  He will be okay soon.  Thank you for showing concern for him.  I will be glad when these moods stop.

That is a funny story about your dad leaving church and stepping in dog poo - I can just picture him in my head telling that story.  My dad had this friend he'd had since before they were married.  Their flea market stands were right next to each other.  They'd probably known each other for sixty years then.  They talked so mean to each other in joking fun that I told my dad one time that I would never understand men, because if women talked to each other like that we'd cry and never talk to each other again.  As their health failed, instead of being all grumpy gus's about it, they would tease each other.  I have an SUV that sits high like a pickup truck, so my dad started having trouble getting into it.  When his friend, whose name was Harry, would help him he'd be saying, "I ain't buying this helpless routine, you ol' goat, you quit being a lazy bum and get your lazy arse up in that truck."  And, my dad would talk the same way to him.  And, they'd laugh and laugh and laugh, and I'd be standing their with my mouth hanging open thinking, "How can they talk to each other like that and be such good friends."

Another time my dad's friend gave him a rubber snake for a present.  My dad loved toy snakes - stuffed, rubber, plastic, etc.  My dad grew up so poor and abused that he never had a toy his entire childhood.  When his kids got grown and he had some extra money, he started collecting matchbox cars, dog figurines and toy snakes.  He had them all on this stand that he kept displayed.  Well, his friend gave him one right before April Fool's Day (do you have April Fool's day in the UK?).  Well, my dad told me to call his friend and tell him he'd had a moment of dementia and stuck that snake up his nose and he was on the way to the hospital to have it surgically removed.  His friend believed him.  He was like, "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry I did that to your Daddy.  I'm so sorry."  Then, my dad started laughing and we both said April Fools.  My dad's friend at first was a little upset with us, but he got over it and started laughing soon too.

I could go on and on.  My dad was very funny.  Even during his last days of life, he had a surgery.  His doctor came up to talk to him and answer any questions, and then the doctor said, "Don't worry, young man, I'm gonna do a great job for you."  My dad just said, "You'd better," but the way he said it in his humorous way, the whole medical team started laughing.

I miss my dad so much.  I know you miss your dad just as much too.

Amanda - I'm sorry that your dad is not here to share his birthday with you.  That is hard!  I bet he is with you still but just not in the same way, so it's still hard.

jb - I'm sorry I haven't been on for a while.  It's been crazy.  We are doing a major house repair, and it's one thing after the other.  Just the planning process was started two or three months ago - paperwork, paperwork, paperwork - and it's still not done.  We went to get the permit to tear down a six foot tall 160 foot retaining wall and rebuild it on Friday, and they want more paperwork.  Now I have to hire an engineer and get blueprints drawn up before they will give us the permit.  The work still hasn't started yet.  It's kinda urgent as this huge wall is leaning and I'm starting to think we won't even have the paperwork done to do the work before the winter weather comes, which means I'll have to wait til next year.  Well, we'll see what happens.  Maybe we can get it started soon and get it done this year.  Plus, my husband started insulin and is steadily increasing it, but his blood sugar is still very high, and the high blood sugar makes him not be so nice.  He's been pretty difficult to be around lately, and I'm having a hard time at this point keeping my patience with him.  But, I haven't forgotten about my friends on here.  Sorry I've been away so long again.  To answer your emails - it's a shame that crime is getting so bad that we have to be so careful about hoodies.  You must have it even worse than we do as most stores over here still do sell hoodies.  I don't know of any that won't sell them, but when you buy them, you run the risk of getting harassed.  Your dad sounds like so much fun.  My dad never sang, but he loved to tell jokes and pull practical jokes.  No one in my family has a good singing voice, so we just don't sing.  I sing so bad a man in church once asked me to tone it down cuz I was singing too loud and hurting his ears - that was in my old church; my current church is a lot more accepting.  I sing my heart out there and people just smile at me, but I know what that smile means.  One time our choir director asked me if I'd like to be int he choir, and i said no.  When he asked why, I told him that I had a dog choir in my house - every time I sing the dog choir starts howling.  He didn't know when he asked that I can't sing.  He's kinda new.  But, i think it's great that someone can enjoy singing like your dad did without worrying about singing.  There was a famous clothes designer that I once read in a magazine who said that one thing he finds attractive in a woman is a woman who can't carry a tune in a bucket but has the confidence and the joy in life to sing at the top of her lungs any way.  That designer would have loved your dad's song, I'm sure.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
