Pathfinder(cutting you off sternly): Stop right there soldier. I am not your father.
You(eyes welling with tears): But... but .........
Pathfinder: Your father was as fine a man as I've ever met, as much a brother as any who share the same blood. Civilians will never understand the unbreakable bonds between men who've faced death on the battlefield together. You are his flesh and blood, he is your father and you should be damned proud of it. You are never to call me 'Dad' 'Father' 'Pops' to my face. Do you understand?
You: Yes sir.

Well...PF did not act quiet like that or say things quiet like that but you are somewhat in the ballpark. BTW my eyes never swelled with tears...I was of much tougher stock than that.
What amazes me is that you and all of my other trolls must think I give a damn what you and they think. Frankly...Scarlette...I don't give a damn. You hand full of trolls have been on my ass about one thing or another from the day I joined this board more than 12 years ago. If I gave a damn I would have left the board within the first year.
I respond sometimes because I am bored and I use and have always used this board and you trolls to kill time and to help somewhat to keep the pain I live with pushed back a little to the back of my mind. I have stated this multiple different times over the years in much the same identical words.
