Someone on Yahoo! Answers wants a psychic to talk to her dead dad

2009-12-30T17:50:00.000-08:00

I have to say I'm impressed that most of the people answering her are being respectful. Well, other than the people who are telling her to go turn to Jesus when she hasn't identified herself as Christian.

That's an odd growth

Perhaps this sm'am was killed by the hand growing out of his neck.

Damn you, google!

Google is giving us ads for therapists in the sidebar. It is trying to hint something?

Wizards can be Dead Dads, too.

"Last week a neighbour found one of the adult swans – the dad we now think – dead at the side of the river. We think it's been shot. All the residents are distraught because they mate for life and the mum and babies are having to swim past dead dad every day."

Today would have been my dad's 70th birthday. He would have been so happy to see Obama as president & my younger son turn 5 this Sunday. Missing him terribly.

just found a photograph of my dad's last christmas. 1999. so glad i took his then 1-year-old grandson out to oregon for that. i remember having to borrow the money to go & it was hard to do.

holidays

2008-12-27T22:01:00.000-08:00

Anyone else out there have a hard time missing their dad over the holidays? Wow, it was somehow extra difficult this year. Maybe because I'm so much hanging in limbo, a strange time for me between settled lives. I got out an old vhs tape that he put together of old super 8 movies from childhood. It was wonderful to see him moving again, but no sound only canned music. Oh, what I would give for a minute of his voice recorded. I'm going to make sure my kids have recordings of me talking that they can hang on to.

I so wish dad were here to see Obama elected & inaugurated- he would have been so jubilant.

14 Years

Today is the 14th anniversary of my Dad's death. For those who might like, I posted something about it on my blog.

Dad, 14 Years After

Here's to us all!

Father's Day

2008-06-15T13:00:00.000-07:00

Well, here it is, Father's Day, again. It's always kind of a bittersweet day for me and it seemed only appropriate to post something here, in the company of my fellow "Dead Dad Club" members. For those of you who are missing Dad today, I'm right there with you. I know that not all of of our fathers did stellar jobs in the fathering department (mine included), but that doesn't mean that we don't still miss them. I mean, I can acknowledge that he wasn't the world's best father and yet still love him and miss him, right? Right. Even though I don't know any of you, I feel that I can be "real" with you here. So, for better or for worse, here's to our dearly departed dads. And, for those of you who are fathers yourselves, I wish you a happy Father's Day. May you always strive to be the father that your kids deserve. (And your kids deserve the best.)

Random intarwebs guy tries to profit off of deaddad.net, fails

2008-05-24T10:08:00.000-07:00

This was in my inbox this morning:

Recently, deaddad.com expired and went into a
domain name auction. We acquired it and, since you
own the .net version of this domain name, we
wanted to provide you with the opportunity to own the
preferred .com version.

Our company specializes in recovering preferred expiring
domains and either selling them to individuals such as
yourself or building out our own web presence on those
valuable domains.

deaddad.com is a pretty darn good domain name and,
the truth is, the .COM is a far stronger version of the
name than the .NET is.

* .Com is the strongest brand on the internet.
When people think of a website, they intuitively
think '.com'. Odds are people trying to get to
your website are inadvertently going to deaddad.com
because they assume that's where they can find you.

* .Com conveys Professionalism that .net & .org
cannot match.

If you'd like to own deaddad.com, you can buy it
now by covering our acquisition costs and a modest profit.

If you have any interest I encourage you to act quickly
because this domain name will only be offered for sale
for a limited time.

The funniest part (except perhaps the irony of randomly capitalizing "Professionalism") is that they want $558 for it! Did he even look at our site? I don't think it exactly screams "up-and-coming-business-with-marketing-budget."

Wednesday we observed the one-year anniversary of Dad's death. We shared memories, company and a nice boat cruise. We sent him to the ocean as he wanted, and we tried to let him go.

Letting go isn't easy. I've been more emotional the last couple weeks leading up to this. I cry when least expected. He was only 57.

Sunday morning, a dear friend lost her brother of 25 years to a brain tumor. There's just too much loss.

Thanks to for taking some lovely pictures of Dad's Atlantic Dispersal.

Dad's Last Night in Town

2008-04-15T19:46:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow morning, on the first anniversary of my father's death, my spouse and I are meeting my sister and her partner in Boothbay Harbor, Maine to scatter the third of his ashes I brought back with me after his funeral. It's time to let go. I'm ready, and I'm not ready.

He was a lousy father, apparently an iffy husband, but a very likable man. He could make buddies anywhere and strike up a conversation with anyone. He always had an entertaining story or joke to share. He was unafraid to try anything. Dad was larger than life, and so is his absence.
