Since it’s W Bloomfield TO the places the kids live, it would seem to suggest dad was telling them how far it would be for HIM to come to THEM. Since W Bloomfield is the starting place. Maybe he is just doing that thing that dads do where they look at maps and tell you about distances and you are very bored because you are an ungrateful child.

Please show me the empirical evidence that this dad gave up 20 + years of his life. The old “well at least you have a father” routine assumes so much.

Geezy peezy. You people who are lucky enough to have parents (some of us had none or worse) always amaze me at how selfish you are. Go visit your father! He gave up 20+ years of his life and he actually just WANTS you to visit him. What a burden. When your kids are old, you’ll see what it feels like to be a lonely old bastard, too. Sheesh.

I wish my math-fu was strong enough to prove this but I want to say that it can’t be solved with the information given.

But how do you accidentally send something to multiple e-mail addresses? It’s not like it was a Reply-All to a previous e-mail.

One set of grandparents have no relationship to my stepsister because they never bothered to visit her as a child! (My stepfather TPR but her mother wanted the grandparents involved in her life.)

When I got my first car I visited them all of the time for years. I also did all of the calling. They NEVER visited me nor bothered to call. (They didn’t even have an answering machine!)

When I stopped visiting except on holidays they had the nerve to ask, “did you forget the way here?” So I reminded them the roads work both ways and they said that they “outranked” me. I then got to throw in their face that “we are all equals in the eyes of God!”

Funny… but they still refuse to go anywhere that’s not in their small town or a church function.

For pity’s sake, JetJackson! Just walk it! What sort of man are you that can’t walk that piddling distance…?

oi: we should be Internet best friends! We’ve already got that whole “two-letter” thing in common.

3.11 it,

I’m always careful with my novelty items.
Especially after that unfortunate power-surge in ’03.

Clumber,

Ok, but you’ll have to use it twice a day.
