I used to love Halloween. In the 70's my brother and l threw a party that the Austin paper covered and a couple of years later did all the make-up for the CofC haunted house, but it seems just like Xmas they have taken alot of the fun out of it. I think l sent you a msg once about my admiration for your work ( l couldn't receive at the time, that got fixed ). I would bet your Halloween is spectacular. ?

Sticks48 comments on Jun 18, 2018:

It feels a little strange to respond as l don't know either one of you, but here goes. It is obvious you really love your father and want to have a relationship with him. If it was me l would tell him l am sorry about our previous conversation and that this realationship is too important for philosophical differences to put a strain on it. Could we please avoid discussions about this subject. His beliefs don't really affect your life in your day to day experience. It does give him comfort as he gets closer to the end of the road. If he brings up his faith, avoid criticism of the things you don't like about the church or God. He is not going to change those beliefs at his age. Sorry l got so long winded. It is just a humble opinion from someone who is not in your shoes.

I check in to see how they cover certain events compared to other news outlets. Sometimes when everyone else is reporting something very negative about Trump and his counterparts that is impossible for them to put their spin on, they just avoid the subject. I love that.

I like the way women smell. Older women for whatever reason often put on so much, if they hug me l have to find a bathroom to wash it off of me. That shit is for high school.
