Cholla Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I didn't want to ruin the Old Gentleman thread, but I have had just the opposite experience... I have a bad track record on helping guys my daughter has a relationship with. I taught her husband how to reload and got him hooked on CAS. Within months she caught him cheating and divorced him. Two years later she got engaged again. He fiancé wanted to learn how to reload and wanted to start CAS. I taught him. New Years eve she caught him cheating when she checked his phone messages. I am no longer teaching anyone she is dating to reload or take them to CAS matches until I check their phone for dating apps and odd messages asking for nude photos.

Yul Lose Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 One of these days I’ll tell the tale of why I didn’t buy my first reloader back in 1980, kinda along the same lines. Wonder what would happen if you was to teach one of her boyfriends to make sausage?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Here is an opposite story: In 1983, while still in the USCG, I bought a Dan Wesson .357. I was going to visit my girl friend on leave for my birthday. My girlfriend went into a local mom & pop gun shop and told them I had just bought a pistol. What should she buy me for my birthday? She surprised me with a boob cake, a Lyman Orange Crusher press, an RCBS powder thrower, and an RCBS balance scale! And 37 years later the only thing I don't still have is the Dan Wesson and the boob cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Instead of teaching those guys how to reload and get involved in CAS, maybe you outta teach your daughter how to shoot glass balls off a Christmas tree. Then tell her next fiance about her special 'marksmanship' as a warning against having any affairs..... ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpening a shovel while having a heart to heart with the next boyfriend might be in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 I had a talk with my daughter the other day. She was talking about a cute medical assistant that mentioned he had a room mate during a conversation while flirting with her. The other medical assistant laughed and tattled on him and said his room mate was also his girlfriend. My daughter was flattered that he would call his girlfriend a room mate so he could flirt with her. I told her that there in lies the problem. She was being drawn to yet another guy that was proving that he would be disloyal to a girlfriend. She hadn't looked at it like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they will cheat on their current significant other with you , they’ll do the same thing to you . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not having children, the wife and I have been close to a niece and nephew. The niece brought a beau over to the house to meet us one day. I had a '92 apart on the coffee table that I was working on. The boyfriend had a few sideways glances at it while there and I noticed his Adam's apple seemed to bob up and down frequently. So far he's minded his P's and Q's and haven't had to give him any verbal warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Your daughter has a broken picker. It has nothing to do with reloading or CAS. For the first 30 years of my life, I also had a broken picker. Every single woman I chose did me dirt. Wrongway came along when I was 30... now 70, she is still here, treats me well (as I do her) and we have a great marriage. Over my entire life time, I have only found The One.

Noz Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My daughters were not a problem because they both believed that if they misbehaved I would kill them then the boy. My oldest daughter handled it well when she explained to the boy that the granddaughter was my special baby and I was very protective and(just after I had bought a Ruger Super RedHawk) I had a "big assed gun".No problems there.

bgavin Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My next door neighbor used to wear his 357 on his hip when his daughter's boyfriends would come calling. Most of 'em turned white as a sheet... One kid stood there wide-eyed... then asked, "Do you load your own 158 grain hollow points?" My neighbor's son-in-law and daughter now live in Reno with their two boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Rule One:If you pull into my driveway and honk you?d better be delivering a package, because you?re sure not picking anything up.Rule Two:You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter?s body, I will remove them.Rule Three:I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don?t take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, In order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.Rule Four:I?m sure you?ve been told that in today?s world, sex without utilizing a ?barrier method? of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.Rule Five:In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is ?early?Rule Six:I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.Rule Seven:As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don?t you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?Rule Eight:The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter:- Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool.- Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight.- Places where there is darkness.- Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness.- Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat.- Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay.- Hockey games are okay.- Old folks homes are better.Rule Nine:Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.Rule Ten:Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car-there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 As others pointed out it seems as if your daughter habitually makes bad choices. Not to disparage the honor of your daughter, but could it be that when she took up with these guys she was the one the guy was cheating with? That is, did they already have a girlfriend when they started dating her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Howdy, Seems some folk still think life comes wit garuntees. It dont. My Dad scared off a fella I got to know years later. He married a lady-the wrong one, and spent a long time in a bad relationship. He divorced his first wife and my sister divorced her first husband. He moved to Arizona and my sister moved to da UP where she married again and to a great guy for her. And divorce CAN be a great thing. Not always--- no garuntees. Wave around guns, list a load of rules, life is what its going to be. Want garuntees?? buy a fridge. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't teach anyone reloading for different reasons. No primers, No brass. No powder. No bullets. All things on backorder, or out of stock...yet I keep hearing "they" have produced more ammunition, in the last year, than ever before. Where is it going...the Twilight Zone? By the time this could be rectified, I'll have to re-teach myself how to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
