We have a few of those around here, fathers, I think.

Happy Fathers Day to all of you. Remember once upon a time when you were very little and know that you are all more important than you likely imagine to the hearts of those little ones in your life.

I used to get these semi-coherent voice mails every year from this Spanish sounding lady, early in the morning, wishing me a happy father's day with a request to remind Brendon of something that I couldn't understand because she always sounded hungover or still drunk. But it seems she forgot this year so I'm having a lonely father's day.

That is, actually hilarious.

I am having a problem right now. I can't find my step dads number.

I do not have a dad but longed for one my entire life and my sister near completely ignores her dad (my step dad) for reasons I do not fully understand. Although she has gotten better in recent years about taking/returning his calls occasionally.

So my step dad and I play this game; most major holiday's and other random times every few months I call him (or he calls me) and be the best daughter I can via telephone. I tell him about my life wish him heartfelt greetings, he returns the favor, we ask a few interested questions about how things are going for each other, he tells a few jokes about his most recent ridiculous thing that happened in his life and laughs heartily and so do I, and then after about five to ten minutes of talking one of us mentions my sister and then for the next twenty minutes or so I inform him in detail of everything that is happening in her life and he asks detailed questions about how she is how her children are and how her relationship is and how her job is going. He lets me know if he has spoken to her recently at all. He says "Alright, baby. I love you. I'll talk to you soon. Tell your mom I said hello." And I tell him I love him and we say goodbye.

I know he loves me like his daughter, I am just not his real daughter. So we dance around that and be the best we can to each other, me substituting for the daughter that doesn't call and him for the dad that never came back. We do love each other though.

But I can't find his number. So I have to call my sister and ask her for it now.

I just sent a facebook message off to a complete stranger that I think might be one of the four kids my father had after he and my mother split up, e.g. my sister. I haven't heard from them in about 13 years. I was actually searching for my dad for several hours today, thinking about how awesome it would be to wish him a happy fathers day out of the blue, but I couldn't find him. Maybe it is my sister and I will connect with her. There is definitely a part of me that would like that.

But then the jealous part of me jumps in and gets all mad that she got to have a dad that was nice to her and stuff (my dad wasn't very nice to me as a young child), which is the part that kept me from trying to find them after their number was disconnected after a big hurricane hit in 1999 or 2000. I would at least like to know if my dad is still alive, though. It would be kind of weird if it turns out I've been an orphan for a while without knowing it.

I don't know. Have a good night guys.

And to the dad's out there - Happy Father's Day!

For Fathers Day, Isabel and I got cap guns and shot all the things. Then we had pie.

The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.

Getting cap guns sounds like a good plan.

It does indeed.

I had this conversation with my brother in law:

*rings phone says hellos*

Him: R*** isn't here she is at work.

Pepper: Okay. Do you have Dads number?

Him: You mean R***'s dad?

Pepper: Yeah. Our dad.

Him: Okay. I wasn't sure if you shared him or not.

Pepper: Yeah. We share.

Then later my sister called me:

R***: Hey, do you have dads number?

Pepper: I called you for it earlier. But yeah, I got it from grandma.

R***: God we are terrible.

I sort of had to agree, we are terrible, but I also sort of wanted to know what all this We nonsense was about.
