Fatherly heroism is such a fleeting thing.
So is Calvinās interest in the Beanieā¦.once itās up and running heāll lose interest in it within minutes.
Morning everyone! You see! We dads ARE good for something! And Mom, this was your chance to turn this into a positive lesson for Calvin, not belittle Dad. Shame on you!
I am curious about something. I usually log on when I get to work around 7:00 a.m. here in NC. I see comments posted 6 hours ago, thats 1:00 a.m. Eastern time. Does nobody sleep anymore or are you all on the night shift?
Any way, have a pleasant day! Montana Lady, I hope you had a nice trip last week!
My dad was wonderful at fixing anything that needed to be fixed, he was the ultimate handy-man with all the gadgets and tools available at his disposal. He died 6 years ago, and I miss him dearlyā¦ Love you papa!
VistaBill - I presumed that Calvin āsnapped the battery caseā in half and that Dad was just gluing the halves back together. No one is so stupid that theyād glue a battery cover in place. That would be on the same level as forcing everyone to buy health insurance from a bloated, out-of-control government whoā¦
pamlicoratā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..weāre only half way through our travels, weāre heading to San Diego to visit with family there. On tonightās menu is really good Italian at Little Italy. Canāt wait!!!

I was beginning to think that I was the only person on the east coast! I stay up every night so I can read the comics! While Iām waiting, I usually have emails to read and answerā¦ files to backup etc. so Iām not wasting time.
The case of the snapped battery case is solved. Case closed!
Calvinās beanie is fixed with glue and Dad had a hand in it. Now Dadās fingers probably will be stuck to the beanie, ā¦and weāre stuck with glue jokes.
pamlicorat you asked the same thing I wonder to. Iām in KS central time about time for me to eat lunch. And there always ahead of me.
Glad dad could help reminds me of my dad. Now my husband does help to fix things.
Growing up, I loved to take things apart to see how they were made and attempt (sometimes successfully) to put them back together. Dad was always patient with our experimenting.
Went on to get a degree in Mechanical/Aero Engineering. After marrying and moving far away, we got back home only two or three times a year. Had to always take my toolbox with us, because I knew Dad would have lots of little fixit jobs for me to work on around their house. He was amazed at some of the solutions I would come up with.
Calvinās fatherās help reminded me of the Scripture: ā..underneath are the everlasting armsā. Not too sure of the exact chapter and verse, sorryā¦
My husband is a real āMr. Fix-Itā because heās a general contractor and constructionās in his blood (got it from his dad who was also in the g.c. business). I donāt think thereās anything in the world he canāt fix!
MY dad, on the other hand, was a completely different story. He didnāt know how to fix anything ā¦ not even something as simple as changing the washer in a faucet!
De 33:27 The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them].
Maybe a little more meaning in the entire verse than you wanted to see, khpage?
Might have been thinking of the hymn: āEverlasting Armsā by Larry Dyke?
āLeaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.ā
This dad has earned a bit of criticism. Itās a surprise that he even looked at it ā usually he sends Calvin packing. So ā good for Dad on this one, maybe he can keep up the good work!!
pamlicorat ā some of us are retired night owls, tho I never get my go-comics before 4 or 5 in the morning, so I usually get to them the next night.
For me when I canāt sleep I donāt get on the computer across from our bedroom, because my husband can sleep, lucky him. Some times I ask him how does he do it fall asleep good. Here it is noisy with traffic and traffic in the house. So when I canāt sleep I will either read my book or watch tapes on tv from the vcr. We did finally buy a dvd and vcr combo and let my mom have the vcr since she wanted a clock and I have no intention of teaching her about dvdās. I tape some court shows some are funny and dum canāt waite for the judge to reprimand.
pamlicorat if you click on yesterdayās strip tonight at midnight , youāll probably get tomorrows. I am on central time so the best I can hope for is to say :
Good Night Marg!ā ācause Iāll never be first!

It is extremely unfair of Calvin to make fun of Dad after coming to him crying for help to fix the beanie. But that is the way of the world.

CalvinsFan1845 almost 15 years ago
āTo fix something with glue all you have to do is stick to it.ā Thatās a good one. I will remember it.
Any man can learn to be a handy-fix-it-man but some are more predisposed to be one than others. I suppose we all have our specialties.
