1. What does Father's Day mean to you personally?

Jeez well not really sure what to say. Father's Day doesn't really mean a whole lot to me. Trying to find the perfect gift... the perfect card... just stresses me out like all the other days in the year where i'm expected to provide some "thing" that is supposed to convey how much i care about someone. My dad is one of the best dad's in the whole world and he has got to be the best grandfather there ever was... i guess if anything it gives me a chance to try to tell him this. This year was kinda kewl though because i know he thought the pc i fixed up for him was kewl... and i thought it was kewl not because of what it was worth but because of the amount of time it took me to fix it up and that to me means more than blowing a bunch of money on someone.

2. Was there a Father, or a Father Figure in your life as you grew up?

Yep for sure. My dad was quiet and not very demonstrative but he was always there ready to help with whatever it was i needed at the time.

3. If you are a parent, is the father of your child(ren) involved on a daily basis? Is that even important?

Yep my hubby is involved on a daily basis depending on what you mean by involved. I always say he'd make a great weekend dad if we ever split...*g*. He's always the good guy... doesn't discipline... never says no... never does any of the bathing or putting to bed... he gives them the chocolate and the icecream... he does all the stuff they love and none of the stuff they dislike... but he does cook them supper almost every night... and i think he truly enjoys spending time with them on the weekends... taking them swimming and to movies etc.

4. With Rosie, Callista, Jodie and Camryn all raising children without Fathers, Hollywood seems to be sending a message that children do not need male role models. Do you agree? Are these "stars" sending a good message to the young adults who admire them?

I think ideally anyone would benefit from some type of positive male role model in their lives... whether you can accomplish this without actually having a father figure in the same household i don't know... probably. As for the stars... hmmmmm... i guess that depends on whether you think a male role model is essential... i don't know if it's a good message but i don't think it's a bad message... they want to experience being a parent like a lot of us and they have the financial ability if nothing else to do it alone.

5. Do you think the absence of a loving, caring father in the life of a child could have any influence on their sexual preferences when the child grows up?

Nope.

6. Was there ever a time when your father became "uncool." Or maybe embarrassed you?

Nope.

7. Are you ever too old to kiss your Dad?

Nope.
