Sixteen? Are we talking actual Earth years???
My goodness, I had no idea you were that old! Cripes, you're almost as old as the socks I'm wearing!
I'm sitting here in my den as I type this, looking around at photos, taxidermy trophies, books, souvenirs, etc. Without getting out of my chair, I can count at least 20 items that I've had for TWICE AS LONG as you have been alive. Hell, there are a couple items that are three times that age!
Esox, sometimes you come up with little zingers that bring out an involuntary guffaw even when I am sitting alone in a room; "spotty little varmints" is destined to become such a classic.
I honestly don't care if you call me kid since it's accurate anyway. I was putting up a fuss about it for the fun of it. xD
I need do nothing to win...because that's all he needs to do. Have you read his "final tank set-up" thread? He's probably set that 10-gallon up and torn it down again by this time...the spotty little varmint...
Wooow. That little of faith.
Quite frankly it is still on the back porch where I left it.
Wooow. That little of faith.
...where it's been for two whole days.
...tick...tick...tick...
Where the hell did you get that from
FINWIN
. It looks like it's been downloaded from a porn site!! Lol.

Heh, Google...
Yes, it's a gift I have. I try and time it just right so that you're just taking a swig of your coffee as the little "zingers" land on your screen.
Imagining you half choking to death with coffee streaming down your nose as you guffaw, is a sight I'd pay good money to see, lol.
Unfortunately I can't see you so I'm working blind. I know, let's set up one of those web cam thingy ma bobbins and I can strike with lethal and side splitting accuracy, lol.
I really like this forum and I know that this is all being said in fun. Makes me think of some past exchanges I've had with my kids over the years and I cringe at the times I've inadvertantly broken their spirit, so to speak, by me letting things go too far rather than handling it the way I should have. These days I'll happily be the 'loser' in an exchange rather than the alternative which is actually an even bigger loss (edited).
Don't be too hard on yourself. Being a parent is bloody hard work. It's never plain sailing.
And it's also a two way street. You may have regrets about some of your past actions, but I'm sure your kids, as they've grown up may also look back with a hint of regret over the way they've spoken to you or handled a situation on occasion.
