Happy Mens Day to all the men in my life.

My Dad - without whom I would not be here. He worked hard, died relatively young and loved and cared for his family.

To my Ex husband -who I did love- and who was a caring father and still is. I have no hate for him - we just grew apart. We get to-gether as a family (including his new wife and my partner) for family dinners, Xmas etc.

To my sons - who married wonderful women.

To my gorgous grandson who will one day enter this crazy world - I hope he learns from his dad who is a wonderful father and husband.

To my partner who has been my saviour at this time in my life.

When his "wife' walked out, it was she who has lost and I who have gained. A wonderful, caring and loving man.

Hope you had a nice day guys...

Happy mens day? I thought its happy mens day every day.......well it is for me:) I thought it was just another gimmick to enforce the sell of goods. However I did get something very nice today from all of my children. This morning they all ran up to me and handed me a plark saying.............

ANYONE CAN BE A FATHER, BUT IT TAKES A SPECIAL PERSON TO BE A DAD.

Now that did put a spot in the old eye.

Thanks kidds.

There have been great men, there still are great men, but there are also those men who just didn't know any better...

Men should be treated with respect as their female counterparts. They do make such a difference is an upbringing of a child.

Our Future Our Children? Or HAPPY MEN'S DAY!!

Yeah, go make more homeless babies.

You have 2 heads, females have one... No wonder...

Here are the objectives of the Day and it is good to keep them in mind.

"Objectives of International Men's Day

- To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working class men who are living decent, honest lives.
- To celebrate the positive contributions men make to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and the environment.
- To focus on men's health and well-being; social, emotional, physical and spiritual.
- To highlight discrimination against men in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations and law.
- To improve gender relations and promote gender equality.
- To create a safer, better world; where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential"

So help me I cannot find anything but positives in any of the goals, but others can, apparently. Voltaire was right, “Prejudices are what fools use for reason.”
