Dads. *COUGH* RoryTMeadows *COUGH* - Off-topic

My dad doesn't know it but inside I feel that my dad and I could have a stronger bond. We just need to go on a father-and-son fishing trip sometime.
*Edit* I didn't find the title really was matching my point. So yo soy change it so that people don't come here thinking it's about a book. I'm going to make it about padres. So, quen here es un padre?

I think you meant:
Así que aquí es un padre?

Fishing is not a thing about worns and disgusting things....
In fact is kinda cool how the new worms are... pieces of plastic with a figure of a lil fish... atract more than a worms to some other fishes you should go mre to the natural things and get fun in other ways...
Keep it up G1 im not a father and i didnt had it when i suppoused to... but now is kinda cool to met him in his old season, and listen his histories... that knowledge and experince is hard to get from anybody out there... than... with a father.
Gonna cry jajajaja give me my OSCAR Award please!!!!

Exactly. Thank you man. And lol at the whole fish thing hahaa. And oh. I'm sorry. And yeah, that's good. Aww man don't cry. Lol. Hug man. /Hug.
And it's not that my dads a bad dad. But he had to work out of state for a while so yeah.

Regret is a terrible waste of time.
There's plenty of time to build that bond.

I'm a father of 2 G1 and I love my sons over anything in the world. Believe me, your dad feels tha same deep down. Communication is very important, I did'n had much with my dad but I know that he loves me to death. Also, when I became a dad that open a better relation with Clown senior.
It's not that you have to go out there and be a dad, but for a dad I imagine is difficult to "catch up" with a teenager nowadays, but definitely you can find things to do together.
Maybe he can teach U how to perform in a talent show better...or rap...LoL..just kidding little buddy.

Father of 2 (10 yo boy and 5 yo girl), recently divorced, and son of divorced parents, with a fairly absent father when growing up, and now no longer among us, since 2006... whow, that´s a heavy opening for a post on xda!
My father was very reserved, and did not had many father/son moments to remenber. Hold it against him for quite a long time, until I had my own kids, and started to see the all thing from a diferent perspective.
What can I say? Enjoy every moment with him, be it good or just "normal". The "normal" ones are the most precious memories I had from my dad.
And I catch myself many times, when I have my kids with me, trying to give them "special" moments, and realizing that the normal ones are the ones that they really enjoy.
Just make sure he knows you love him! It really matters!
EDIT: Damn, now you got tears on my eyes!

Don't cry buddy. May he rest in Peace. It's all good. And thanks for the advice everyone.

oye, the Arabs did that 2000 years ago as a present to the "Fantastic Wife"'s parents...
nowadays, and according to the lack of wives, which girlfriend is worth a single camel?
mikechannon said:
What... you mean they've stopped doing that or only a single camel! I was hoping for at least a hundred camels for my daughter. Although you'd have to feel sorry for the camels when they move to Scotlands's cold / wet weather (often anyway)

yes in fact they stopped -maybe- because they found that both yellow and black Gold much easier to handle... on the other hand, present girls nowadays don't prefer the idea of marriage that much since boyfriends are quite available and can be changed at any argument... that's why I was wondering which one of these girls (girlfriends) is worth a single camel
if your daughter appreciates marriage and she has a proposal from an Arabic prince, then I would recommend you thinking of the number of "Oil Wells" he may offer to you and your daughter, but in case you still insist on 100 camels, then he might present you a royal stable in the desert and then transfer these camels into it and under your name

I really must be more serious. You see, my daughter, well........ she's probably not even worth 20 camels or even 5. She's got these really stomach churning looks (I blame her mother and a drunken night back in '92) and any husband of hers would be well advised to have a good self immolation policy.

RIP Michael. You are a true legend.
We have a musical showcase tonight, and I'll be doing an MJ tribute, with Heal The World as the cover.
A fitting way, i believe, to remember him, no matter what his detractors say or those who have only negativity to throw around on other people's success.
Oh my god!
That's so sad!
If you liked his personality or not, his music is legendery!
He was such a great performer!!!

Fast food how hard is it?

Perhaps you should be more discerning about where you choose to eat

A carvery is where you go to get your Roast dinners. 'Toby' is just the name of one particular chain. They're basically pub/restaurant places with all you can eat Roasts. I don't know if you have anything similar in the US.

5'11" and 176lbs. Slightly unhealthy for my tastes. I think the problem is that in USA, the portions are huge. Here, we have way too many anorexic chicks driving the portions down.
yea the portions are big (AKA SUPER SIZED) thats why we have thick chicks here and i did say thick not fat! thick is good

Had this discussion with a FWB the other day...
She is single for quite some time, and she was rather depressed because she is quite attractive but no guys seem to want to approach her to have a steady relationship.
Over an extended "therapy" session, she told me she was contemplating to go on a diet. So I gave her a hug and told her that her flesh, being softer than her bones, is definitely a much better hold.
Of course, she said my boner was harder.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that girls shouldn't conform to the "thin is beautiful" adage, coz the men are attracted to the flesh, not the bone. Although the boner does tend to get in the way.
lol thats great! females are crazy anyway you can tell them they are fine and they still think something is wrong with them at all times

Lady Gaga, Born This Way

Please, don't fill this forum with hate, that would just make you an ass.
I just picked up the album, and I have some severe mixed feelings on it. I really like Electric Chapel and Scheiße, but some of the songs are just... eh. And I kinda found Black Jesus offensive. (No, the song is not about race, outsiders.)
Anyone else get the album, how do you all like it?
WTF is a 'Lady Gaga'
I definitely love Scheiße but I also love Hair. It has soo much meaning to me . But I agree I also have a mixed feeling on some of the songs on the album

When it comes to media i'm about as Old Skool and retro as it gets. Don't own a TV or Radio, and only read science journals + tech sites, as current affairs never really change from one generation to the next. (Crime/Corruption/War/Natural disasters - all the same as ever was).

BTW, (just speculating here), if Jesus was born in the middle east, as it was written, why does he look as white as my ass in every picture you see?
I don't like it.

Because when he was first drawn it was by a white dude. Jesus really was a black man. With a 'fro, supposedly.
Lady Gaga is terribly ridiculous. Her music is also terribly bad.
Yes, 'hate' just went down.
I don't like her but I might as well listen to her instead of beaver.

Beaver? I don't even know who that is ... but I hear 'neither' is pretty good.
Seriously, people.

Asked the same question in my bio class senior year (also asked if she was black) and everybody around me started cracking up in disbelief.
I have a big distaste for this album. I like parts of certain songs, but not any one song as a whole. I feel like she's going downhill instead of up musically.

Learning Spanish....the Challange.

Who thinks I can learn spanish till June/July? I guess I have to since if I don't my dad isn't paying for college anymore. lol. I have Rosetta Stone full Spanish pack and Dr Pimsleur method CDs 1 through 3. Anyone had any luck with any of them?
Man to be honest in my experience you need to take some kind of class. There are many online classes where a teacher will have a video call with you, just do a quick google.
I wasted so much time on rosetta. There's nothing quite like actually taking part in a conversation. Even if it's only once a week.
I'm not saying its useless, but it won't work just on its own.
Again, this is just my experience. I've heard other have had success with such software.
The Spanish language is actually kinda complex....
I'm a Spanish speaker and writer and there's some things I learned in school the last two years that I didn't know myself.

I understand the complexity. My primary language is Polish, and supposedly it's one of the most difficult languages to learn.
I already have some basic knowledge, and I can exchange a few phrases with the guys at work. I just want to be at a level where I can have a conversation with someone. I just did the first lesson in Rosetta Stone, and god that **** is annoying. It doesn't always pick up on your dialect and you sit there repeating the same phrase like 10 times and you still can't get it, where I know if I was speaking to someone they would know what I meant. And I guess I'll see what $700 worth of language learning techniques is worth.

If I were able to just move somewhere, it definitely wouldn't be anywhere within the United States. And I live in NYC, everyone speaks spanish here, I just don't pay attention.

If you try you can... I only have three weeks left to learn spanish
Im a horrible procrastinator
I've know for like half a year I would be going to Peru.
I live here in Tenerife around 26 years now and when I arrived here (I´m german) I immediately started to watch the (awful) spanish TV and became member of a video rental club and watched a lot of movies which I knew in german, very helpful.
*back--Forward* to listen to what the actors were talking about.
And with a few words started to talk to my new neighbours and they helped me a lot.
Never had lessons or something like that and now I even have no problems to talk to lawyers or judges (thanks to my lovely Ex-wife) or write letters to the Ministerio de Justicia in Madrid.
So in my opinion the easiest way is to go outside and start to talk no matter how bad you speak the language....
