This, I Understand

Over at http://ninepoundsledge.blogspot.com/, is a great post I truly understand.


Snippet:


Yes, I'm THAT Dad

So, with Progeny on her 3rd day of Kindergarten, I had the duty of taking her down to the bus stop. After seeing her onto the bus, I drove to the school, and met her coming off the bus. I then walked her to the Cafeteria for breakfast, and made sure she could get to class, and letting her know who to ask if she forgot how to get to class. And then I left her there. And I feel horrible. I have visions in my head of Beslan, Columbine, and every pedophilic pervert ever found in a school rolling through my head. If I had my way, not only would I walk her to and from class, I would set up in a tree with my rifle and made sure she was unmolested. And have her wearing specially made panties that say, "Notice from her Father: Go any further and I will kill you."



Check it out....if you're a father or grandfather, you'll get it.

Thank You and Good Morning

First, I'd like to extend my hand in welcome and say thank you very much to my new followers. I came on line this morning to find my hit list now stands at fifty (50) which, I must admit, surprised the heck out of me. So to, RobertM, Jonathan, odysseusofithica (say that five times fast), Tincan Assassin (great tag right there), and last but not least, keangnt. Again, thanks.

I again renew my promise to all my followers and to all those that comment on my humble little blog - I shall always reply, individually, to each and every comment left here. It might take me a few hours, but bet on it, I will reply.

I've had a long hard weekend. Not complaining, it was fun, but hard. My son and DIL are on vacation so Sweet Wife and yours truly kept our grandchildren, Little Bit and Sport Model, for the past few days. Didn't even have a chance to burn gunpowder; did cook. Sport Model is now 10 months old and holding that child is like wrestling a monkey....

Now you understand why I haven't had time to post...sorry. Miss Tamara, the queen of all things gunny and snark, kept me busy yesterday. Kinda fun, but I'm not use to such attention, and to those nice people who left comments on my post 'Cop Attitude,' thank you.

I promise to travel around the web and try and meet all my new followers today. If you have clicked my blue button, I shall follow you too. If you've linked to me, your blog will be linked here also, as my dear departed mother used to say, 'It's just good manners.' I've three days of blog reading ahead of me too. But first I need to catch up on paper work here at my business, middle of the month and all that you know...

Again, thank you, my friends. And, Good morning. Here's a shot of my Little Bit. She wants me to say hello to her fans...Lord, I do love her....
