I'm Glad I'm Not You, Cus Then I Wouldn't Be Me

Monday's Question of the Day

Posted by: ricderr, 21:12 GMT le 15 février 2010

Well it is official, Tim will be on his way to the University of Florida next year. They released their accepted freshmen list Friday at 6:00 and Tim was on the phone with me at 6:01. Of course as a parent I see Tim both the good and bad and If the boy had wanted to work harder he could have had the same acceptance at any college of his choice. Oh well, he wanted to go to UF and that's where he's going and as his dad, I'm happy and proud but it does lead to the QOD:

With Tim becoming a hated Gator, do I disown him or become a Gator fan?

Gosh, Ric ~ I don't have a clue. But then, I don't even know who the hated rival team is! However you work out the team allegiances, congrats to him, and to you and Becky for helping to get him there. And by the way - those are some fine-looking birds with your fine-looking son!

I agree with Aqua 100 percent. Love the picture of you son with the birds. Anyone who loves birds as much as he apparently dose has to be very good. Member Since: 1 juillet 2005 Posts: 139 Comments: 19088

rofl!!! Congratulations to your son Tim!!! Well, in our family among the "cousins" (our kids's generations of cousins) we have Gators and 'Noles so we have to live in peace and harmoney during large family gatherings. It works! Member Since: 29 août 2005 Posts: 287 Comments: 40512

regarding post 11 ricderr thank you for replying I agree, my words made no sense. I should just stick to what I know. And that is lyrics and mis-quotes. Member Since: 28 décembre 2008 Posts: 12 Comments: 53

Thanks for stopping by my blog...your post was most informative. Your son is darling; birds are, too. Port St. Lucie -- oh my gosh, you got slammed hard in '05, post-Wilma...I was working in a DRC in Lake Worth. So, do you know how I'd go about becoming an insurance adjuster? I'm aware that absolutely nothing is as easy, or simple, as it first appears... Member Since: 19 août 2008 Posts: 32 Comments: 1918
