Loved the story...
I understand completely and take GREAT pleasure in raising my two kids with all the stuff I never had as a kid, growing up a "dub".
Keep up the good work
i da'd in march after seeing the filth under the facade... the last meeting i was at with my kids was a co visit in may when i couldn't stomach the drivel and we walked out early... since then, the kids (9, 10 and 13) have spent the summer, now every other weekend with their dad who is a jw about 2.5 hours away.
in the meantime, we've celebrated all the birthdays (two july kids and me in august, brother, nephew and cousins...) where the kids have signed the cards and helped pick out presents.
they've been to about 2-3 b'day parties each for classmates since march.

High scores sam for highjacking a thread and twisting it into yet another misguided, ill informed politcal commentary about a country you don't even live in.
I'll eat venison rack or not....the rack is a nice bonus though.
i am already thinking of ideas.
my sister had an online relationship with a man from holland (they are now married in the us) anyhow, they would send eachother packages and the coolest things he would send was different foods from there... cookies the us doesn't have, chocolate spread for toast.... this is my first gift exchange since i was a kid, so anyone have some ideas?
( is this kosher to ask?
I'm a coffee junkie so mugs with a theme from your local area are cool......anything (snacks (i am allergic to chocolate), touristy gifts, local daily newspapers) from your local area, especially if we live far apart would be very appreciated.
I love barbershop quartets, celtic music, bluegrass.....I smoke the ocassional cigar....I collect Disney pins and anything Police or train themed. I love to read, non-fiction/historical mostly.
I'm a pretty simple guy so something simple is fine...(spend your $$ on your kids and tell me about their reaction !)....hate buying for myself....vintage (used lol) is fine....
