I don't get it, some ppl say Father's Day is June 17, some say it's June 26---HELP! When is it?? Also, do you guys have any gift ideas? I don't know what to get him, plus I'm kind of low on the funds right now--arghh, I need to stop my obsession with shopping!

thank you!

Father's day is this sunday (the 17th)

In my family we bought my dad a Coach wallet for father's day (he got a nice wallet for christmas in like 1987 and has stubbornly held onto it ever since... dad's crappy wallet is kind of a running joke) and we are taking him out to brunch and I am writing him a from-the-heart card. (They seem to like those ones the best!)

Thanks so much for the ideas nucutiepie! My bf is going along with me tomorrow for shopping (haha, I kinda made him lol), so hopefully he can help me decide what my dad would like

!!

That Coach wallet sounds really nice!! Keep me posted on how he liked it!!

How funny! I got my dad a Coach wallet and messenger bag! Coach has the best "dad" stuff!

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."

Father's Day is here!!! So what did everybody do for their dads??? My brother and I bought my dad a really nice briefcase since his old one was getting too old. We also got him a new TV.

Happy Father's Day to any dads we may have on GC!!!!

He turned down my outback offer from above. So we went golfing and after that I gave him his choice of restaurants to go to. Any restaurant in the world. He picks, drumroll please, Arby's. Yes thats right, Arby's. Oh well my mom and only brother are in Europe so anything is good to him. He had a lot of fun golfing today too. Still, I ask any of you, Applebees, Outback, or Arby's?

LOL ExGreek....OUTBACK definitely!!!!

We took my dad to a nice restaurant, and I got him a nice shirt and a tie

(though I had to borrow some money from my Mom, lol).
