Merry Christmas bro!
I consider this a wake up call for myself as well. Realizing your dad has passed , as has most of my friends dads , has made me realize I need to listen to him more and respect his words . They'll come a day that I will no longer have him and will have wished I was a better son. He considers me a good son but I don't see myself as one when I get him upset. Maybe I just want to be seen as an adult since I'll be 53 in February but I will always be his son . I must therefore realize I'm still to respect and take my orders from him. Now if I can only relay this message to one or two of my other brothers , that will be helpful as well. I believe they care , but can do better. Respecting how you've reared your daughter ( and any children you may have) , it is clear that , yes , you've become your dad . Since you've grown and gained education to his approval and your daughter to yours , I'd have to say your dad has done a great job in rearing you all ! Great job dad ! I know he would have wanted it this way . Hey , I think this talk has woke up a part of me and helped me to mature a bit . Want to thank you especially for these special words at this time . A very special holiday season to you and your family . Thank you for all . Greg .
P.S. - your 100% correct regarding the trouble in this country . Family value has been raped and pillaged by rap music and video games . Sounds a little like our generation ? Lol .
Amen to that brother ! I know you'll never go jeep less again ! If I had some spare cash , I would scarf up this cj5 on Craigslist right now ! Only wants $1700 or best and it looks worth to go see . It's in the Hudson valley area too. I know I already just got one recently and should concentrate $$ on it but this could become a habit ! Am I becoming addicted to jeeps ?A jeep is the best thing that ever happened to me. Second best thing jeepz.com.
Now I know what is meant by " it's a jeep thing , you wouldn't understand " . If I were to tell everyone I know ( including my family) that I found another jeep , I'm pretty sure at least one of them will move to have me remanded. As long as I get to take my jeeps with me and they have plenty of wide open space at the "farm" , I'm there !
I go through this all the time when I email pages of prospective purchases I've dreamed of before ( and seem to still do ) I bought my 1980 CJ5. I'm still waiting to hear the response from pop regarding the craigslist page I sent him of the $1700 or best cj5. Kind of afraid to ask if he opened his emails lately. I'm sure that's liable to raise an eyebrow ! But yeah , I got it bad . I'm still trying to find ways ( no worries , not going to sell myself ) to come up with capital. Credit union and loans are out. Anyone got the winning number to the next new yourk state lotto drawing ? I'll gladly share .whats really funny is when you are driving down the road and you pass a jeep in a used car lot and you successfully beat the urge to look and you hear the spouse pipe up " I wonder how much they will take for that (insert model year here)... then you are in REAL trouble!
