Dating for DADS??
Hmph … kinda wish I’d had a few tips after the boys’ mother left. See, I’d been away from it for awhile, and, first time I tried, I came across more like Barney Fife-meets-Forrest-Gump.
BUT … The Charlotte Observer threw out the challenge and (huh? No, I don’t know who’s in that picture. It just seemed to “fit the theme” here …) brought back a ton of memories. All right … one or two …
It seems like dating’s a lot harder these days for us older dudes (no, I ain’t found one yet, m’self!) I mean, by the time we reach fossil age, most women are already taken, either by husbands, the Lord or the Republicans. And they think we’re only out for one thing:
sympathy. Well, that and someone to wash our socks, I guess …
The best advice that was ever given to me about dating at my age (57) was from my son, Tim, back when he was 13 (their mother’d walked out on us a year before): Don’t go lookin’, Dad … let THEM come to YOU!
So I don’t. And they don’t. “Trouble”, “bills”, “computer foulups”, yes. But women? Naaaah … But at least I’ve still got my cats … and my work … and those little voices in my head to keep me company.
Now if they could only wash my socks …
TOOLING AROUND
Of course, every man digs workin’ with tools of some kind. I mean, whether he’s fixin’ the house, working on the car, or just building something, he’s in hog-heaven.
But, as any guy can tell ya, the quality of the tools .. their durability is more important than anything.
Now, we can drive around, lookin’ for the right ones at the last minute, waste gas, stand in lines and pay high prices for a tool the salesman says will work,
or …
we can go to the one place that has the best in hand and power tools, anchors, nailers and air tools. They offer the most reliable names in the business, wallet-pleasing prices, free tool advice (ya gotta check this out!), and speedy delivery!!
So click on that link up there now, because, with Spring here and the weather gettin’ better, it’s time to get those projects underway!
