There isn't anybody who is quite as unique as my dad.

7 Ridiculous Things My Father Has Done
Lisa Micari

In honor of Father's Day being this weekend, I decided to dedicate this post to my father. There are...unique...dad's out there everywhere, but none quite like mine. Here's a list of things my father has done, that your father probably has not.

Do NOT try any of these at home!

1. He messed up Hamburger Helper...Big time!

We've all had our kitchen catastrophes, but this is the mother of them all. One day I walk into the kitchen and my dad was making hamburger helper. He told me that the recipe called for milk and that we ran out of milk. He then informed me that, as a substitute, he used French Vanilla coffee creamer. Now, this next part is my fault...I could have just walked away, but I was curious. Needless to say, we both tasted this horrible concoction and were both gagging and throwing up.

2. He tried to snort a Lo-Mein Noodle.

Honestly, I don't really want to relive this one. All I'll say is that the noodle was almost halfway into his nostril. My friend was over. There was more gagging.

3. He used an old pair of pants as a torch.

This one was actually pretty recent. He was talking about making a torch and then all of a sudden he came back with a pair of pants doused in gasoline, tied it to a long pole, and set it on fire.

4. He accidentally wrecked the stage during a worship set.

I wasn't there for this one, but as I was told, he was playing bass and his strap broke so he wanted to go get a chair from behind the stage. While doing this, he knocked over three Aviom units. All in the middle of a song.

5. He took me on a boat on the lake...we sank it.

The boat had a 250 pound weight limit. We both got on it and brought fishing equipment...suddenly, I was swimming.

6. He Dyed His Beard Purple

Not only was his beard hair purple, but so was the skin underneath. He has also tried to use shoe polish in an attempt to dye his beard, as well.

7. He's lit his chest hair on fire...

This one is pretty self explanatory. The smell was horrendous.

These are just SOME of the things that my father has done. I hope you enjoyed reading these stories as much as I enjoyed telling and experiencing them. I've definitely never met anyone as unique as my dad. He's done absolutely ridiculous things, but he's still pretty great, and I love him.

Happy Father's Day!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
