Summer's End with Magic Friends

[Disnut]

Ok guys I have to go talk to you all another time. :wave:

I love the picture.

Oh yeah Goodnight Dawn.

 

[MerHearted]

That is worrisome. When was the last time you tried her?

I was having a conversation with her on Saturday via text and it just abruptly stopped and I haven't heard from her since.

 

[joanna71985]

Grrr, this cold is driving me crazy!

 

[dandaman]

I can remember my poor dad trying to convince me to at least try things that he would have enjoyed as well.

See... I'm afraid that might happen to me as well, only on the reverse end of things. Sometimes I get so excited about doing something (okay, rides :lol: ) that I'll ignore a lot of other things. God willing if and when I have a kid, I'll at least listen to him... and vice versa. :lol:

Could be phone troubles.
Have you tried email?

I tried Facebook, but not e-mail yet.

Last time I saw her around was Friday evening :shrug:

 

[Connor002]

Sigh... so a certain someone talked to me tonight It's been a while. She says she misses me and feels bads about how she treated me. At times, I wanted to hate her... but I know I don't. I've moved on but part of me still wants her in my life.

Is that the b*tch I've heard about?

You're nicer than me.

Weird.

On the other hand, pardon me while I beat this man to death.

Someone's feeling fiesty.

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Exactly.
I thought my dad was king of the world. He certainly was king of my world. He tried so hard to be both mom and dad, since my mom wasn't able. Why is it that I can't forget those times when I didn't make it easy for him?




I love you too, Sweetheart. :kiss:

Because now as a grown up you can understand what he went through...but as a child, well, it wasn't your job to make things easy for him. You were you and he was letting you grow and learn...you now have the wisdom and compassion of parenthood that you didn't have (and rightly so)then. Your Dad did a wonderful a job raising you, Dot, as evidenced by the person you are today, and I bet he would not have one single regret, no matter that you didn't "make it easy for him".

I hope you do remember that Danny. Your love of rides and such might not carry over to your children. Really! Remember that little ones come with their own personalities. And fears are so real to kids. Remember to listen and be patient. You'll make a great dad! Definitely a fun one! But certainly not for a long time to come!

 

[WaltzingMatilda]

Grrr, this cold is driving me crazy!

I have one too! Except it's in my ear...if you can believe such a thing. Annoying!!!!

Good luck with that!

I could say the same for you.

I fear to have a roller-coaster-enthusiast for an offspring. :lookaroun :lookaroun

Then try it!

Hello Sweetie.

I actually was an easy kid, in that I was quiet and didn't start trouble. But I didn't take chances either. I think he would have liked me to, at least a little. But, I was who I was. Too late to change that now.
Thanks for the kind words, Amy.
Funny the things that come out here.
I wasn't planning on talking about my childhood when I popped in here! :lol:

You can always send them to visit Danny.

Hello Sweetie.

You're up late.

I actually was an easy kid, in that I was quiet and didn't start trouble.

I wish I had made more trouble as a kid.
I mean, one attempt to take a bike down the slide would have been enough.
Or using a blanket as a parachute off the top of the monkey bars.
But no, I had to be a good kid.

...


Is it too late to try the above?

 

[Uponastar]

You're up late.

I am.
And after a crappy day, you'd think I'd be glad to see it end.
I will shortly.

Can you make some trouble that isn't life-threatening?
Like spray painting the living room wall, maybe?

 

[Connor002]

"Hey kids! Ready to go to Cedar Point!"
"AWESOME! But I thought you were terrified of coasters?"
"I am! Have fun with your uncle Danny!"
...
"I didn't know we had an uncle...?"

Is that a poorly-written suicide note?

Why??? :veryconfu :veryconfu

Roller Coaster King and Meteorologist Uncle Danny!
And Canadian!
And Tall!
They will be awed!

So far, I've got no worries there, if today is any indication! :lol:

Then try it!

It is funny, isn't it? I always start with a plan and then y'all make me verr off it...

I actually would like Em to take more chances as well, even though I myself am a total weenie...but, she is who she is. And I do my best to respect that, though it is hard!

Great idea! Uncle Danny!!!

Nope. Go for it.
