Nice to see u back Zax. Condolences for your Dad. Let us know if u need anything even to just talk.

Jobberone and Zax. Condolences to both of you. I lost both of my parents 5 years apart, several years ago. I still think of them daily and talk to them often. Revel in the good memories you have of them and be glad you knew them.

Morning Cbz and all you great folks wherever you are. Have a great day.

Thank you Leon. Didn't visit the grave yesterday as one doc kept me 4 hours in his office then had to pick up grandson and go to church. But will go this weekend to place new flowers. Thanks again. This place means a lot to me because of the Boys and all the great friends here.

Ok, it's another day in paradise. Good Morning Pops and all the wonderful people who frequent here. Have a blessed day.

Morning Pops --Morning all....Have a good one.

Morning Pops. Morning to all of the regulars.

Zax, I am sorry to hear this news. That's no Bueno my friend.

Jobs, your right on with your post. When people you love pass on, all that's left really is what you remember and that is pretty powerful stuff.

Have a good day everybody.

Jobberone, it's a time of year when I reflect on Christmases with those who are no longer here and I'm reassured by the positive memories it brings. This will my wife's first Christmas without her Dad and Zax will be missing his father as well. Like you, I offer my support durning this or any other time. Zax, if you read this, feel free to drop in and talk, but know that you're being thought of.

I just got in from my Doc, who advised me that I'm still going to be here awhile. Good feelings abound here, especially with Pops looking out for us. Another day in my slightly cooler part of paradise, but the sun is shining and people seem happy to see me at work. Now I should actually do some work.

Everyone take care and have a great day.

Morning, Cbz. Morning, folks. Phil congrats on your good medical check-up. I'm happy for you. Everybody have a great day.

Good morning Pops and good morning to golfers and other assorted slackers. Time to become productive citizen and do your part. Go to work , go find a job if you don't have one ,if you do find a job for your wife and kids. The sooner you are out of the yard the sooner I can go back to sleep.

I thank you all for your heartfelt thoughts...Dad said it was like waiting in line at a grocery store..well I guess he finally got to check out

surprisingly I am not sad not one little bit, Dad had a good life and I got to talk to him before he went...I mean how great is that, most folks just don't get that opportunity so I consider myself quite fortunate and because I knew well in advance I got to say all that I wanted to say. 87 or close to that isn't bad and Dad would have hated being in a nursing home and was blessed to have general good health both physical and mental and so he was able to stay at home where he was able to die with the dignity he had lived his life with...another blessing.

Dad was my hero and a WWII hero who was blessed with that oh so uncommon common sense...a son couldn't ask for better just wished I could have been a bit more like him in some areas.

**ABQCOWBOY** · 12-14-2012

Morning Pops. Morning to all the regulars and to any newcomers who might show up.

Well, another Friday. Winding down the work week. Lots to do so I'll just say be well and have a great day.

Good morning, Cbz and all the great people who come here. Zax, fathers can be tough to live up to, but being your best self is all anyone should ask. Your girls are a reflection of you as a parent, but ultimately will choose their own path, much like you chose yours. Reflect on the good times and think of the other times as "character building" moments. Be good to yourself and enjoy what your life is offering you. BTW, maybe it's time for updated pictures of you and your girls. Everybody have a great day.

Morning, Cbz. Morning folks. Welcome to the weekend! Have a great day.

Good morning Pop's, Leon ,and all who pass through today. Just caught up with the postings here,and heartfelt thoughts to Zax and Job! While dad is still with us,and feisty as ever for 87, today would be mom's birthday, but she left us 34 years ago. Think of her every day, and she lives thru the memories. God bless!

Morning Pops. Morning to all of the regulars.
