So, I'm cooking salmon and my Dad comes in and barks....

[HEyHEY]

"You know how to tell when it's done, right?"

I replied, "Funnily enough, after working in a seafood restaurant in highschool, and a seafood market in college, the one thing that has always eluded me is knowing when a piece of salmon is cooked."

"Sorry I said anything," he grumbles.

I like my Dad, but he's too much of a micro-manager. Man, my new place will be ready in just six days.... it ain't coming SOON enough.

1. My dear HEyHEY...

I hear that!

Hang in there...

The week will pass, and you'll be out of his hair, and he'll be out of yours!

He's probably too old to change, as well...

:hug:

2. My dad used to hide our pot on us and weeks later it would emerge

somewhere obvious. No one dared say a thing about it.

[Skittles]

5. OK now graywarrior, is that true?

because if it is your dad RAAAWWWWWKKSS :thumbsup:

[graywarrior]

9. Yes, it is true.

He'd find it in my brother's room, take it, and then a few weeks later we'd find it in the cabinet next to the kitchen sink. You can imagine the paranoia between me and my brother wondering what in the fuck happened to it.

But the best time was when my brother came home late one afternoon tripped out on acid and wanting to just go up to his room and stay away from us all. My father insisted that he eat dinner with us and forced him to eat a steak. My bro kept staring at the steak and whispering to me that it was still alive. He was totally freaked out. My dad pretended he didn't know what was going on but he did. He used to say "you guys think you invented ways to get high. I was on Iwo Jima during ww2. You guys know shit."

3. Wild Alaskan salmon, I hope.

All else is irrelevant.

[asteroid2003QQ47]

18. Irrelevant?

Aquaculture seriously damages the environment and
produces a crap product that's certainly NOT
irrelevant!
I'm a stones throw from Downeast salmon pens and quite familiar
with them.
Thanks, AK, for bringing the subject up.

26. Alaskans hate fish farming...

We fight it tooth and nail. That's why I encourage people to eat wild, every chance I get.

[EstimatedProphet]

29. Bullshit

[Beausoleil]

24. Only wild Chinook, Coho or Sockeye

I won't touch anything else.

[Skittles]

4. you want I should kick your dad's micro-managing ass, HEyHEY?

6. Nah, he's too old.

15. Congrats on the new place.

My grandmother was great at trying to tell me how to cook. Micromanaged me to death one day over how to make a meat loaf. Drove me nuts. I miss her now, but dang .....

19. I hear ya...

I had to fill out a job application and somehow I KNEW my mom would nag me to use my best handwriting.

Like, dude... I'm left-handed. I can't HELP my penmanship. I really can't.

But my mom nags me about it anyways.
