    It's too bad your grandson has to have a screw put in to hold things together - he must have really busted it up pretty bad. I hope the surgery goes well for him. I think it's pretty cool that your future son-in-law asked your permission to marry your daughter. Not many young people ask permission to do anything these days LOL.

    Best of luck to your grandson. I'm glad I had four sons and no daughters. I don't know how I would handle a man shacking up with a daughter!

    It's a hard thing to swallow Fatboy. Mine did it for a while then they ran off to Vegas and got married. Both families were very disappointed but after they came back they re-did it and had a regular ceremony. The best part is the two Grandkids we now have.
    Yea I think its cool that he asked you for permission Cowboy, very cool.

    A fixed up thumb now might make it better for university ball later, and congrats on the good news.

    Congrats Cowboy.. know the feeling. When my son in law asked me before he asked my daughter...thought it pretty cool after I got over it! Was at dinner for her for graduation from college. Bill came ... told my wife dam_, gotta go pee before I pay this. So my son in law to be followed to mens room. While I was peeing noticed him washing hands looking nervous. When I walked out door there he was with hand stuck out.

    Leaving restaurant fussed at wife for letting me be caught off guard, told her you know what just happened... she did not... I said between peeing and paying I just gave our baby away....o_O

    Congrats on the daughters engagement, my son in law asked me also when youngest daughter got married, thought that was pretty cool for now day kids. Shacked up a year or so before I got married, personally think its a good thing to do, kinda like a test drive. lol and Happy Birthday by the way
