Father's day is upon us - next weekend - so I thought it only fitting that we have a thread this week leading up to it where we can show off our favorite people in the world. :)

We could have had a Mother's day thread - but - well - I think you know the problem there... ;)

For you younguns that don't yet have children - you'll hear this all the time as you get older - but guess what - it turns out it's true. Having children (or a child) is (hopefully!!) the best thing in the world - period. I know for me - nothing else even comes close. :)

So show off your contribution to this crazy world - either with a pic of yourself or without. :)

Happy Father's Day!

I'll get the thread started with a picture of my little Princess who just turned 3. :)

Well - you can still celebrate with us this month - and we'll celebrate with you in September. It'll remind me to tell my wife it's Father's day again. :)

Okay, here's an oldie of the entire clan, me, my wife, and our three kids. Taken about 20 years ago.

Congrats! Happy Father's Day and I'll remember to wish you a Happy Grandparent's Day on your first ever one when September rolls around.

If a lady wishes me a happy father's day next weekend, in no way will I be excited. ;)

Congrats Bob! Just because your kids are grown doesn't mean you can't post pics...or you can do like Razor and find one from the early 70s ;D

Interesting segue...from Happy Father's Day to B/S/T forum posting rules!;)

The requirements for the B/S/T forum are not posted. Just continue to be a "stand-up" Mac-Forums member...and eventually you will be able to post there.:)

They are intentionally so. Basically, you have to have been around for awhile. Besides, no one wants to buy a big ticket item from someone who is a relative unknown.
