What Did You Get For Father's Day?

[hearingimpared]

I received a huge hammock and special pillow for it from L. L. Bean. We are going to place it between two poles out back in the shade.

BTW the pillow is monogramed with, "Big Joe's."

This was a very well thought out gift by my wife.:D

I asked for a 3 dvd set on coaching soccer, but I have a feeling were paying for a refrigerator repairman instead.

My wife is great cook, I'm sure I'll be well fed and cared for today.

Wii's Heatseeker. Damn hard to control with the wiimote and nunchuk. Need to practice...

The girls and I were garage saling last weekend, and when we came upon a garage sale with this Yamaha dirt bike for sale, my kids said "Dad, you need a dirt bike for the farm". That was all it took :cool: It's a 2003 Yamaha TTR-225. Needs a little fixing on a few things, but overall in good condition and pretty well taken care of. It's the dirt bike for us people with short legs :D

Happy Father's day is what I got the last 3 years, and is what I will get this year.

[BaggedLancer]

Well I didn't get anything for fathers day(thank god, no kids that I know of).

But I did get my Dad a set of Husky PRO screwdrivers from Home Depot for his toolbag......I'm tired of him stealing mine outta my toolbox cause his are so beat up and then when I go to use them they are missing. :D

[HBombToo]

I got a 12 pack and I'm cooking 1 of my favorite Sunday dish's... Baked Ziti with a pork sauce that will simmer over the next 4 hours.

[JimBRICK]

I got some dress shirts and a tie and one of my favourite movie RONIN. I actually called my son Ronan and got the idea from that movie

[Sami]

About two more weeks before I'll be a father, and that's all I want. No gifts yet, but in a few weeks I'm sure there will be plenty "gifts" (dirty diapers, yeah).

[dudeinaroom]

Congrats Sami

Good luck....I don't even have kids but seeing the yellow mustard my niece and nephew left behind for monthes was enough. Enjoy!

I got to spend the day with my son! Father's Day is always special with him as we brought him home from the hospital 10 years ago on Father's Day. From my stepson and his mom I got The Police - Message In A Box. Although they're in Wisconsin for the week, I listened to it this morning and thought about them. :)

My older son is taking my wife, my little guy, and myself to dinner around 5:30.

[George Grand]

I'm getting a Greek dinner. A homemader.

[schwarcw]

Three kids! I couldn't want for anything else.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you mean you couldn't handle anything else!!!

I have sons, thank God. God knew that if I had daughters I would be in jail for assault when they started puberty that is why he gave me sons. A friend of mine has two absolutely beautiful daughters who blossomed early. . . he went prematurely bald and had a small nervous breakdown when the horney little 13 year old boys started knocking on his door every night!!!

[engtaz]

2 t shirts and a DVD.

Treaded my dad to a nice steak dinner.

Yesterday, I was treated to an Outback (EDIT: make that Longhorn) 22-ounce porterhouse, 25 ounce Sam Adams, baked potato and Fritz's Turtle afterward.

Today, had a Sunday brunch at the daughter and SIL's, with a Bubba-gram and Jimi Hendrix CD. Force fed grapes by the grandson while waiting for breakfast (a ploy he used to steal my watch .... again !).

All in all pretty darn nice. :D

[Frank Z]

Deb and the kids took me to a rock buggie race, saw alot of this....

I recieved a new camera (Canaon PowerShot S3 IS) and the stargate SG-1 Season 8 Box set.

[bobman1235]

I took my dad and brother (who's also a dad) golfing. I am not very good, my brother has never played before... so it was an interesting day to say the least.

Fun times though. Happy father's day to all you dads out there.

[aaharvel]

I got a call from dad saying that grandfather died today (of all the days). If you have a grandparent out there, make sure you let them know that they're special.

[Frank Z]

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your grandpop! I think today is a fine day to pass on, he will always be remembered fondly on this happy day.

[hearingimpared]

Just got back from dinner, besides a full belly of some fine Italian food, my older son gave me, the new Maroon 5 CD, Talking Heads "Remain in Light" RTI 180 gram pressing, Green Day "American Idiot" double LP set, and another copy of The Shins "Wincing the Night Away" LP!

This was a fine day and I hope all you pops and grandpops had a great day. . . my prayers go up for aaharvel and his family.

And of course a phone call!

[BottomFeeder]

I got lunch out at a great Vietnamese restaurant!

[shack]

Calls from the girls wishing me Happy father's day...It is all that is necessary.

[MillerLiteScott]

I got to spend all day with my wife and kids and we went sailing. The first time all 4 of us have done that. We then went to my parents house and had dinner with both my bothers, sister, sister in law, 2 nieces and grandmother. Very nice get together and my parents love having us all together.

A buddy and I surprised our fathers today with a weekend get away, next weekend, for the 4 of us at my buddies house on the Wye River. Saturday we are going to take a boat over to St. Michaels for a day of boat building and dinner in town. I hope the weather cooperates.

I had a very nice Father's Day. I hope everyone else had great day.

[MrNightly]

I got $50 bucks cash from my folks :) They always give me fun cash on Father's day... they're the greatest!

My wife gave me something else... :D

My daughters? They are too young to care. Ha. Although my 2.5 year old did manage to say, "Happy Fadder's Day" and my 1 year old managed to say, "Hahdha dfafda dayya." I felt content with that :D

[Josh]

Ziegler Gift Set

[mhardy6647]

My son got me the new Warren Zevon biography by his ex-wife (EDIT: WZ's ex, that is) Crystal and the new "Preludes" CD of WZ demo tracks. Very cool.

My daughter, who is taking final exams in grad school in the UK this week, was able to Skype with us for a while Sunday and also got me (by proxy, via Mrs. H, online) a very cool tea strainer the likes of which I've not seen before.

A nice day in MA yesterday.

[Grimster74]

A round of golf from the kids which I played on fathers day like every year and a new commercial series grill from the wife which I think she bought for herself.

[avelanchefan]

My wife and kids got me 160gb Hard drive for my DVD player so i can hook it up and watch all my AVI movies at one time.

My parents got me 2 golf shirts, and then I took my dad out for a game of golf and we got me a Lucky13 Sasquatch Nike Driver. I have to say this year was a great fathers day.

[apc]

Got a Trail Card (discount) to use on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail courses for Fathers's Day and an XM radio for my vehicle for my Bday recently too.

[PolkThug]

Got a card and a $10 Sonic card, its all my dog could afford.

[MSALLA]

Music & movies. I am at the point that if I ,or the wife, want something, I buy it. So what better gift to get then new music and maybe a movie.
