Happy Father's Day!

Called my dad and he was in fine spirits and enjoyed his card. Got him a belated gift or two today he will enjoy. :-)

So, yeah, Father's Day was enjoyable overall. With the exception of the "God, it's so incredibly SUNNY!" weather, which you guys will probably already know causes me to grumble.

yeh, here neither. not on june 20th it isn't.

And Lukas made me this thing at his day camp out of a picture of himself and popsicle sticks that said "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DUDE".

Happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads, as it says at the beginning of the thread (I haven't read the rest): new dads like Pleasant Plains, classic dads like Alex in NYC, Rock Hardy, lovebug and nickalicious, I've-got-a-surfeit-of-dadness dads like Haikunym, britishes and UK dads like Tom, Noodle Vague, Onimo and Grout, and all the other dads I've forgotten to mention.

Although this doesn't seem like the Father's Day thread that I remember, the one where Beth P. told me to mow the @#!&%*!-ing lawn!

Which somehow reminds me that I forgot to that other new dad, crossword Matt.

mention

oh yeah, and skot

and, god bless him, xhuxk

thanks, k.

You're quite welcome.

Sorry that I also forgot Michael Jones, PJ Miller and, on this side of the Atlantic, gypsy mothra.

I want to be a dad someday. Have a good day dudes!!!!

Thanks Ken, I got a great present when the kiddo went to London, had a fantastic time for a month, then came home safe. Getting breakfast in bed tomorrow will be nice too, though.

Happy Solidarity Day to the ILXor dads out there. Hit one golf ball or something.

bbq dudes

Hmm, yeah, maybe I'll grill something, but fuck, it's hard to get out there and fan burning charcoal when it's already 94 degrees.

Happy fathers day to all you dads and dads-to-be!

Thanks everybody! I hope all your days has been as cool as mine.

HEY I HAZ A SURFIT
(okay i get it, i'll stop talking about my kids now, h f d y'all)

Happy Father's Day, ILXor dad guys!

To all My Fellow New Dads and New-Dads-On-Deck!

{checks calendar - confirms state of daddyhood for past 21 years - mopes}

LOOT:

I got
* book from mother-in-law
* new Converse sneakers
* card from Beeps that begins with "Although we've only known each other for a few months..."
* hardcover bound book of Beeps' first three months, as told in pictures.

I could sleep on the futon in the nursery for the next year for stuff like that.

Awwwwww!

happy father's day to all you dadly ILXors!

I got John Peel's auto/biography, a lap desk for late night reading/sudoku-ing in bed, and the most amazing, wonderful card I could ever imagine from the kiddo. I'm not much of a cryer, but this had me on the wibbling edge. Mostly too personal to share, except for "Thank you for your crazy music, even the stuff that makes my ears ring." What a great kid.

When I went into the 'Ling's room this morning, there was a bag on the floor with an envelope on it marked "Daddy." Inside the bag were a new PS2 game, a really nice shirt, and a card asking what kind of stone-fruit tree I'd like in the back yard. I picked the envelope up, and asked him "Hey, what does this say?" He stared thoughtfully at it for a moment, then said "...Daddy." (Note: he is 27 months old.) I was filled with pride.

I got a cake from which the sweeties on top had already been eaten, a card and a home made money box - also pancakes in bed for breakfast. Hurrah!

aw my hubby got a punch in the nuts.

I was just messing with you, Hazmatt.

Sorry, Aimless, I almost mentioned you in my post but I couldn't quite remember so I erred on the side of caution.

My dad lent me some books and the boy fixed my plate for me at lunch which was cute. Today I discovered that mayonnaise on hot dogs tastes awful, llama spit tastes awful, and that shaved pomeranians look like tiny bears.

aw my hubby got a punch in the nuts.

One way of keeping him a one kid daddy. ;-)

I forgot all about it. :-( Didn't even realize it.

i was told to shut up, and was called a fucking dick and a fucking jerk (by my wife, not the baby). happy first father's day! I'm sure that once the kid starts talking he'll be saying similar.

He'll probably just post about it on a message board somewhere.

Reviving this a bit early not only to wish all the dads on here well -- and all those wishing their dads well in general -- but to say that if you could spare my dad some good thoughts it'll be appreciated: he's going in for emergency hip replacement surgery in a few hours. Like the link says, I'm sure he'll be fine but I hope it's not too surprising I'm feeling a little jumpy right this second! Please do feel free to leave him any well wishes on that blog entry and he'll read them when he gets a chance.

Aw, Nedders, here's some sympathetic pats on the shoulder for you. *pat, pat*

Happy Father's Day, everybody. Best wishes to Ned's dad.

I hope you like this awesome tie, pops. The pattern is WOVEN not printed.

£23 tie, he better like it!

Happy Father's Day, Dads of ILX

Today is my first Fathers Day! Baby Snrub will be posting to ILX in no time.

Congrats!

Baby Snrub will be posting to ILX in no time.

Fatherhood will give you a chance to teach baby snrub the importance of carefully curated challops to raising your ilx profile.

I got a free beer at lunch.

wish I had a dad

Welcome

Happy Father’s Day, Aimless et al!

I see James Redd et al. has started a minor tradition of giving me a shout out. I feel honored to accept it and would like to pass on my best wishes for the happiness to ilx and ilx-adjacent fathers everywhere.

Lot of fellow dads on this board, happy day to you all!

I can't remember if I told you when my father died in 2008. I probably did, if I wasn't on one of my years-long breaks from here.

Yes, also happy Father's Day in memory of fathers no longer with us. (I'm fortunate to still have mine, talking to him in just a few minutes.)

Yeah, my wife's dad died in 2002, mine died in 2014. We may no longer have fathers, but I like being a father. This pretty much sums it up:
