Funny things Dad would say

 I am one lucky guy.  My dad had a great since of humor and was a great storyteller.  But here are some of the things that I loved and yes, some of them are off color.

1. yesterday, one of my close friends (Rich K.) told me I needed to drink more water.  Now I should preface this with it was a gathering of 11 guys for weekly fellowship that meet at Mike Cunningham's office (my old office before I retired).  Mike and Steve and staff are wonderful hosts.  Rather than make it such a long sentence which I used to get in trouble for with Mrs. Head, let's just say it is a bible study/prayer group.  Anyway, after R. Kanaly smarted off, I gave him one of my dad's sayings, "Piss on you".  Most folks would get their underwear in a wad saying something like that at a bible study, but I figure even if I don't say it, God knows what I am thinking.  Well, it got a good chuckle, kind of like Chuckles Codding more normally known as Harold.  

2.  Since I had shared one of my dad's little sayings, I figured on sharing another.  Dad use to say he was a FART KNOCKER and then he would double up one of his fists and knock on my shoulder or arm.  Do you get it?  Well, I did that to you know who yesterday.

3. This is the last one today, but there are many more:  Dad would take his index finger and make it look like a hook.  Then he would say, "do you know what this is?".  And if you did not know, he would say it is a shit hook.  Then he would proceed to hook you one the arm or somewhere to let you know you were the shits.

He always laughed and I cannot thank him enough for the great times.  I hope you can remember some great times with your dad.  If you do, check out the free invite below, where you can start writing or telling your stories and record them for your kids and grandkids.

So, what do you learn in the Osage?

• laughter is great medicine
• when you use words that are not especially acceptable by folks, just remember, God knows what you were thinking
• Words can hurt and they can heal but only Jesus forgives and does not judge, if only you put your trust in HIM.

Thanks for listening,

well, here is a new one and i need your help. I think many of you know I have an app called Finaciti and if you would like to try it out for FREE (always free to you up to 1000 of my friends, family etc.). All I need is for you to try it and give me feedback to gary.olson@finaciti.com

so, here is what you need to get it free: download the app and when it asks for an AID number use srem8z

let me know you signed up and try it out. there are two things we are doing, and it will be expanding rapidly as we get a few things adjusted.

1. if you would like to get some education and organize your personal information secured on your phone, not on our files, so that is something happens to you, your family or spouse will know what to do.

2. if you go back to the main menu on the app you can start writing your story for your family and children and grandchildren. I personally have written a lot of stories about growing up in the Osage and especially stories of mom and dad and our ancestry.

And it is all FREE to you if you use the code srem8z

tell me of any problems you might have or suggestions. we are going to add end of life planning as well.

thanks for helping,

Gary L. Olson
