RangerTrace Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) My Mom died in March 2003. A short time later (3 months), my Dad was dating and he got married that December. Good for him, I'm glad he is happy and has someone to take care of him. However, his birthday is in October and I call him, send him a card or a gift every year. Still, some how, some way, 6 weeks later, he always forgets my birthday The first year it actually hurt my feelings. Now its just amusing. I'm the only child he had with my mom and his only son who hasn't been to jail or prison. On another note, I also hate sucking at matches. I shot my first ever steel challenge match in Longview today. It looks really easy on TV, but I had my tail handed to me No excuses, just trying to go faster than I could see.

G-ManBart Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Happy Birthday brutha! It's funny, but just yesterday I said something about you to my boss. He said "you've got a friend who's really a Ranger? Wow!". He asked what county and it turns out he grew up not far from Athens. He then spent like half an hour pulling up the website, found your picture and everything....he thought it was extremely cool. I said "yeah, he was cool, but he just sold his Open gun so now he's kind of a wuss" Just kiddin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrieH43 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Happy birthday man... Hubby's dad forgets his birthday regularly too. No reason, just busy I guess. As for sucking at the matches, I guess it's just a matter of remembering that accuracy is more important than speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) my dad never remembers my birthday. never has and I talk to him or see him every week. I gave up a long time ago. best wishes my friend. My dad almost never forgets to get me something, just not on the day. He just knows I was born in "April, a couple of weeks after your Sister's birthday." He still comes through with a call within a couple of weeks and a gift too, so I can't bitch. I think my mom has been reminding him of their anniversary since '61. eta: Happy Birthday!! Edited November 22, 2009 by JimmyZip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
