okaaaayyyyYY...well....on a brighter note?...i overheard something just the other night that lifted my heart and spirits tremendously...and as i stepped out for a cig last night (i don't smoke in the house...kids...ya know?)....my dear sweet 17 year old marissa was chatting on her cellphone to one of her boyfriends (she hasn't been permitted to go out on any official "Dates" yet)..and i didn't get to hear the 1st part but i did get to hear this...
Marissa: "I don't know.."
then something i didn't get to hear the boyfriend say and then?...the biggy..
Marissa:
"NO!.....i LOVE TO RIDE!...and i just can't imagine going the rest of my life without taking anymore rides with my dad...we've been ridding together for almost 10 years ya know...i started riding with him when i was 8 years old!!!"
Boyfriend: "What kinda bike does your dad have?...a harley?"
Marissa: "no...a hayabusa"
Boyfriend: "A WHAT?!"
Marissa: "a suzuki hayabusa."
Boyfriend:
"HOLY SHID!!!....NO WONDER!!!"
well...it made me feel good...and btw...another thing that makes me feel good?..is the fact that all three of my daughters have more balls than most men i know! LOL!
also?...later..after over-hearing that convo?..i let marissa know i overheard it and thanked her...letting her know how much better it made me feel cause....well?..quite frankly?...i could never imagine us
never, ever riding together again and then let'er know that...not right now...but....if and when you're ever ready?..you just let me know and the first thing i'll do is buy you all new riding gear...pink & white flowery jackets and all including a new lid and gloves and even pants if you'll wear them...she smiled and then told me..thanks dad...but...i just don't wanna think about it right now...and then smiled...and then?...added the word..."yet"
also?...someone here mentioned "Vitamin E"..and i gotta tell ya'll...it works...it seems shes healing up waaaay quicker with less itchyness than with the neosporin...and thats saying a lot because i've been a life long fan of neosporin...but also?...her mother has her wiping her wounds down (intermitently) with fresh, homegrown aloe...with three sunbathing blond daughters living in south florida?...the wifes kept aloe plants growing 'round the house for the past 15 years.
so?...
Thanks everybody! and L8R, Bill.
