To those of us who are Dad's... this is our day to kick back, fire up the grill, put a few cold ones on ice and enjoy the day.
Deligate chores to the older kiddos at the ranch. Let them cut the lawn, wash & vac the cars etc. This is our day to relax and enjoy. Let our children have the chance to learn and do things that are age appropriate to their skills and abilities.

Well, my son is only 6 months, but he seems to be interested in everything I do. I live in an apartment, so no grass to cut. I had some grilled salmon, and then had to go to work for 3 hours, and I had some time to stop at my workshop and play w/ a few of my ideas.
Happy fathers day to all the fathers on here.

My kiddie has four legs and a tail, doesn't do windows and i don't know that her part on the lawn is a helping part...

Salmon on the grill sounds like a wonderful dinner to me. What type of marinade did you use to neutralize that sometimes strong fishy taste we get on some parts of the fillet?
Think the dogs' contribution are the "trophies" (free ferganizer) she deposits on the the lawn. Just let them bake/dry til hard, scoop em up and mix with compost. Excellent fetilizer base for plantings too.
Not sure if you have a lawn or the brown spots that come where the dog does her wee-wee's, but can neutralize that easily by adding some cooked white rice to her meal, 3-4 times a week. About 1/2 cup of cooked rice is all is needed per serving. It works well on northern grasses very well.

I guess there's FAthers' day, Mothers' day, and the other 363 days a year are single people's day?

Singles Day? Not sure there is such a thing, but if some want to act like it's Singles Days the rest of the year, go for it.
Do we know singles who want to be attached?
Do we know married who want a divorce?
Do we know parents who can't wait to have children?
Do we know parents who can't wait to see the kids move out?
Do we know adults who refuse to grow up?
Do we know youngins' that want to grow up to fast?

The Truth About Eating:
For those of you who watch what you eat...Here's the final word on nutrition and health, and it's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer far fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of high fat foods and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
3. The Japanese drink very little red wine (Sake is the drink of choice) and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages, potatoes, sauerkraut and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lots of perogies, cabbage rolls and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British or Americans.
Bonus: Asians smoke heavily and have for years. Americans, Canadians and Europeans have been cutting back rapidly the past 10 years. Asians still have lower rates of heart attacks and disease than Western cultures.
Do we want to address obesity and morbidity rates in Western cultures vs Asians, Middle Easterners and other non-westernized cultures? Michigan has one of the highest obesity rates per capita in the USA.
Awww what the heck, pass me a 2nd helping of brats, beer and fried potatoes!
CONCLUSION:
Eat, drink and smoke what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
