I never thought that I would be posting this and I know that it really hasn't been that long but I miss my Dad. Something happened at work and the end result gave me a sore throat. When I was little, my Dad used to give me something to sooth my throat. He was great for home remedies. Ginger-Ale or coke syrup for tummy aches. He had so many interests I can't remember all of them. When we would go to school, sometimes he would give us the honeycomb to chew and eat the honey from..He had bees for a while- the doctor made him get rid of them. He said,"if you don't get rid of the bees they will get rid of you" My mom said he got stung by the bees all the time. One time, I was dating this guy (more than 20 years ago) and I guess that my Dad didn't like him but he didn't tell me. Dad offered some 100 proof alcohol and told the guy that he should mix it half and half with water. The guy said that he was tuff and drank it straight. Meanwhile, Dad left the room (I am sure that he was laughing but didn't show it). The guy after he swallowed it, turned to me and said why didn't you tell me that it was so strong. I said that my Dad did..The guy said that it burned all the way down his throat...That was when I realized that Dad didn't like him...And I'm sure that he was just chuckling to himself as he sat down on his chair in the living room....
