dicko Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Ok so i was just talking on facebook to a couple of friends just then. Serious convo's, not just talking ****.. My Dad came up to me and was looking at the screen and looked like he was keen to chat. I was like "hey Dad how are ya? look im kind of having a conversation here" and he bailed but looked mad/disappointed with me. I was a bit stuck and didnt think very quick. Was I rude?? He doesn't understand the internet at all. I'm a real gen Y kid and made lots of good friends online and also kept in touch with friends met "in real life" lol I feel bad. How should i approach this?? sorry for the juvenile thread...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Dicko, You were just about to get the keys to the vintage Ferrari 308 your dad has been hiding away in storage. Nice move. But seriously, if your dad is into cigars. Hand him a stick, tell him you're sorry and say. I have the time if you have the time. The cigars will put you both in a relaxed mood to chat. Cheers.

dicko Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 gold Firedigger! next car ride with the old man will be..
CanuckSARTech Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I've been watch this grow and develop throughout the day. Very funny. I glad to see great thread.
Omskakas Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 You know it's really pathetic that you guys would make fun of a botl like this. I'm very disappoint in all of you! Sorry!
dicko Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 haha! cheers for the advice/support but most importantly the laughs... Btw talked to him and he didn't even care so all is good.
cigcars Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Sorry! *He looks like Simon Cowell when he smiles like that! And I'm glad Dicko that Dad seems not to remember. Nevertheless, be sure to treat him to surprises and niceties for at least the whole week, that way he'll know he matters above all else in your life
Rogers72 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I lost my dad at 20 yrs old to cancer. I would give all I've got for another day with him. Get off the computer and give him all of the time that you can, while you can.

No good mate, sorry to hear that! might catch the aus-eng one-day cricket match with the old boy on saturday that'll be good.

I turned him down twice to visit Italy in my younger teens. He'd go on his own over the summer for two months. I'm surprised my mom let him go as he was quite the reveler. I've since been to Italy three times, visited and stayed with his side of the family and travelled the countryside. Got to really know my uncle who is the spitting image of my father, only a few years younger but more "conservative". Unfortunately, I missed meeting his other brother who had passed away before my scheduled flight. So what I've learned is to seize the moment a lot more and not take relationships for granted. So, I visit my mom a lot more. She turned 75 on Feb 1. Everytime I visit, I get about a weeks worth of home cooked leftovers to take home.

Puros Y Vino Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Dude, you're that old???? As old as sin.
CanuckSARTech Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 As old as sin. No wonder you're wearing a mask now, then.
