In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.”
Mahatma Gandhi
I knew we had some things in common.
I've gotten to the point where I just say, "Well, we don't have a a lot to say to each other."
In recent years, that has kind of changed. I go home for Christmas, and give gifts, even though I'm not Christian. It makes them happy, which is great. They always ask me what I want for Christmas and I always say "nothing".
But this year, I actually needed some goalie gear. So I asked for a new pair of goalie pants. They sent them to me. It was nice.

The worst is, the once it's happened, it never goes away. When you're own family can't be trusted, who do you trust?
We have made moves in a good direction after about 20 years. They've expressed regrets. Its getting better. I guess I'm glad they're doing this before we can't talk anymore. They're in their late 70s.
We have been trying lately. My dad has never been a fan of anything I do, but lately he's been bragging to the neighborhood about me playing hockey. He used to hate that. He always thought I would get killed.
Well, that didn't happen and I've won a few awards. I guess that made a difference.
But I definitely get why a parent would not want a kid to play hockey. My dad wanted me to play football. I hated football. I loved hockey.
It was just so scary and fast and brutal. It was everything I wanted football to be, but football wasn't.
And no, I don't have all my teeth.
My dad would always show up at the beginning of games and leave. But he's now sticking around at least til the third period. So that's progress! He still has yet to get through the whole game.
Oh, I should mention that I'm a goalie.

From White House corrects DACA meeting transcript:This isn't the first time the White House has issued official statements with errors. The official schedule for the President issued Tuesday night included "Normay" instead of "Norway." The White House also misspelled the word "opioid" on a live stream screen and Sen. Thom Tillis' name was misspelled in a press release.

By the time the kid is old enough to go to college, if he isn't strung out and dealing drugs, some wealthy liberal will probably offer to pay his tuition..how nice.
