All,

Just read a bunch of folks" writings and thought i"d jump on the carousel of opinions....


My dad told me not to crawl in the rafters, butI just oculdn"t get past climbing on the home-made topper of that 68 ford, then grasping a rafter.

Smart as he is, Dad backed the pickup outta the garage, then said something to the effect that supper was on, with full knowledge his darling, but misbehaving son, was safely tucked in the rafters without a way down.

By the way, the siblings got plenty of ice cream that night whilst I watched.

my Dad, smarter than the average 3rd grader (tongue in cheek).

My dad told me to "dont eat yellow snow" and "dont pee into the wind"

He also showed me how to make "bean shooters" and whistles out of hickory tree limbs.

And I can skin a coon, scale a carp, set traps, weld and tons of other things that he taught me to do.

Did he tell you the most important one? Don't take a sleeping pill and a laxative at the same time?
 
One of Dads fovorite sayings was "don't start anything on Friday that you can't finish before the sun sets": Also "You're burning daylite!". Some of my favorites: "At least we got done getting started"; "You ain't never gonna learn any younger". Armand
 
My Dad used to say it never pays to make that last round. Usually something went wrong when we tried to make one more.
 
Dad taught me how to act and survive in this world and I love him for it and I wish he was here to thank him. He must have forgot to show my brothers or it just did not sink in !!
