So, I'm cooking salmon and my Dad comes in and barks....
 "You know how to tell when it's done, right?"

I replied, "Funnily enough, after working in a seafood restaurant in highschool, and a seafood market in college, the one thing that has always eluded me is knowing when a piece of salmon is cooked."

"Sorry I said anything," he grumbles.

I like my Dad, but he's too much of a micro-manager. Man, my new place will be ready in just six days.... it ain't coming SOON enough.

 
Only on DU would someone get pissed about someone being helpful :whatever: Then there's this :whatever:

2. My dad used to hide our pot on us and weeks later it would emerge
 somewhere obvious. No one dared say a thing about it.

9. Yes, it is true.
 He'd find it in my brother's room, take it, and then a few weeks later we'd find it in the cabinet next to the kitchen sink. You can imagine the paranoia between me and my brother wondering what in the **** happened to it.

But the best time was when my brother came home late one afternoon tripped out on acid and wanting to just go up to his room and stay away from us all. My father insisted that he eat dinner with us and forced him to eat a steak. My bro kept staring at the steak and whispering to me that it was still alive. He was totally freaked out. My dad pretended he didn't know what was going on but he did. He used to say "you guys think you invented ways to get high. I was on Iwo Jima during ww2. You guys know shit."

Jesus! No wonder these people are so ****ed up! They were raised by wolves :whatever: My dad would have kicked my ass for this kind of shit!

My dad taught me all KINDS of things growing up. He's still teaching me at 35. I look forward to going home to visit so he can teach me even more things. He's 57 this year.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Well the DUmmy gets points for moving out. At least that's how it sounds from the OP.

Of course he'll always be an ingrate and an asshat. :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'm actually surprised that waste of a face, Graywarrior even had a human dad.

Gotta agree . . . I was thinking something more amoebic, myself.

0 bongs.

No conversions.
No cops & bushes.
No one can afford salmon in this **** economy.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

When I get like that around other people I know I need a midol.  But I am sure in this horrible chimpymccokespoon economy no one can afford midol. :whatever:
