Aside from the births and different milestones of my children, I view these things as one does a poker game, you don't count your money till the game's over.I'm not finished playing and hopefully the best is still yet to come :)

I have many. :)

One would have to be the day I got my mom into the water in the ocean. She was terrified of water, and I was the only one who could coax her in. I got her to get on a boogie board and had her ride in a small wave. The look on her face was priceless. :)

I wrote a poem about it later that year, but she died before she got to read it. :(

going to car shows with my mom and dad. me and my dad would go for walks (we had our car in the show as well '68 SS427) and look at all the cars. i would ask what makes this different from others, how can you tell the diffrence between a 56 and 57 chevy, and on and on. he would always answer me and help me to understand even though i asked a hundred times. then when we got our voting ballot for the show, he would let me pick all my favorite cars.

Super Chevy Sunday was down here in Phx a couple weeks ago...i really wanted to go but i wouldn't have been the same without him..so i didn't. Maybe when i go back to MN this summer we can find one to go to. it's strange cause you never miss it until it's gone...

Okay, one of your favorite memories up to this point?

And guys, there's a reason I'm asking this on the highly-moderated AT forums rather than Ralli or hzl's adult forums. You basically hate all your memories besides getting laid, eh?

Nah, I just can't think of anything off the top of my head. ;)

Is that supposed to be a pun or am I getting jaded from being around all this testosterone too much?

I have soo many it's hard to pick just one! Maybe the time a bunch of my friends and I got together
as a group one last time on a mystery dinner cruise ,lol, we all ended up abandoning the lame cruise and sitting up in the front drinking shots and remembering all the funny stuff we'd done together over the years. It was a good night and one I think of fondly as there were about a dozen of us and most are scattered all over the globe.I still see/hear from everybody but we'll never all be together again like that.

Targa top off, radio off, drifting around corners on a warm fall day with the 914 newly licensed. :) Either that, or cruising through a forest on my motorcycle.

I was in Gatlinberg and planning to get married.

I did not want to get married in front of a lot of people and make a huge production out of me wanting to stay with my wife for the rest of my life.

My wife finds an add in the phone book for "Weddings on Wheels"

We got married on the deck of our chalet with just us and the 2 other people.

When my wife found the ad I was so happy.

We had a catered reception a month later.

We have 3 kids. I love them all equally and seeing each born was incredible. But, my selfish best memory was the first time the oldest made eye contact when he was real little and said "da da" and smiled at his grumpy old dad 'cause he wanted to.

D@mn'it, now i'm gonna cry.:D

HotChic, I would have to say, one of my most fondest memories was when you and I hooked up for a few days - haven't really told anyone else on this forum about it, but the bubbly whirlpool, and pink champagne - man, that brings back memories...















Wait, the title doesn't say dreams? My bad. Nevermind then. :D

Choosing favorites among a recording of experiences tends to create a reward system or at the very least motivation for engaging in similar experiences to really have that state again. I don't think this is a very good answer or sound ideology as it can lead to illness so choosing favorites in a lifetime makes no sense since I don't think it can be done, there are joys and sorrows in each event and recount. It's what baffled wrote about and the idea of remembering what has happened yet not choosing some state to have comparison.

One favorite memory I recall right now occurred what must have been about 18 months ago when I had to take care of a baby second cousin. She was about 2 months old and so could not hold up her head very well yet, requiring that she spend much time sleeping. During a rehearsal for a band performance, her mom was occupied entrusting me with the infant for a brief while. I was tired from a busy Saturday and decided to rest in bed for a few minutes. However, duties could not be neglected and yet I did need some rest so a mutually accepted solution needed to be devised. I thought of letting her sleep but a child is still fragile at that age and something could possibly go wrong in her moving around and falling off the bed. Still, I needed some rest. What I finally realized was that I could make a circular shape with my body and arms, use pillows as makeshift barriers to create a sort of wall where I could rest keeping an eye on her and maybe even utilize the great advantage of physical proximity to share body warmth lulling her to sleep. I did just that. Droopy eyelids have a life of their own sometimes and so does shared closeness. We both fell asleep, the sight appearing like a monster griffin protecting her young from what troubles awaited in the world beyond the confines of a created nest. A swift and accurate blow to the jawbone woke me up and through blurry eyes, the sight of a kicking, mischievious, pudgy infant was supplemented with sensations of smooth skin rubbing against a scraggly day-old beard. Part of me, just like the placid bed and a created shell broken by child's play still stays in a semi-circle remembering that child as she once was. Now she's walking and voluminously expounding upon the virtues of "gargtttgggaaa" and "flasaapphhrrggt-aaa". Needless to say, communication with her is not as easy as it once had been. But it rarely is with females ;)


*waves to HC*

Cheers ! :)

2 years ago, i took a trip with several friends, including my gf, to china. hotel room... yum.

my entire childhood, up to when i was about 14 is a source of endless memories and nostalgia. even though it didn't seem great back then.
