I just wanted to wish my brother a happy birthday and say a few nice things about him (really).
One thing about my brother is that he can always make me laugh, even when I decide that I am not going to laugh at something stupid he says. Growing up I always wanted my brothers acceptance, so I loved it when he started letting me ride out to the cottage. The radio would be blasting with Billy Idol or the Beach Boys but I wouldn't say a word about the loudness for fear of not being allowed to ride with him again. I also remember the time he brought me to his ex-girlfriends house without informing them I was his sister. I was thrilled that they thought I looked old enough to be his girlfriend.
For most of my life I have thought pretty highly of my brother ( ok, not the early years growing up) and I have seen him turn into a great husband and wonderful dad. We don't often get too mushy in my family but I am going to break tradition and tell him that I love him and that I am proud to have him as my brother.

Happy Birthday Ron. I'm happy to have him as a cousin (-in-law?)
Thank you Tami, yes that was sweet when they thought you were my "new" girlfriend. Billy Idol rocks.
Stop it, before you make me cry
As a Mom, I must say that this almost makes my eyes tear. Back when the days were filled with teasing, picking on, and just plain being mean to each other, I never thought they both would grow up to be as nice as they are.
Ponderings of a Mom.............
Happy Birthday, Ron!
Happy Birthday Carl.
I too, have fond memories of Ron listening to loud music. In the Chevette going to Cappons for gas--it was totally Guns-n-Roses. In the Mastercraft it was Great White--My,my, my, Once Bitten twice shy baby!
80s rock ruled.
what did you say? what? did you say something? I can't hear, speak up!
I too am very proud of Ron. For the life of me, I don't know why. My best memory of him was when he was about 6 months old and I tried to teach him to walk. What a mistake. First it was walking, then basketball, then soccer, then watersking, then hockey ( well maybe not hockey) then I found him a wife, set him up in business, helped him retire, even planned his funeral. Wow, he owes me.
Merry Christmas
we need some new material, this dude has had his day in the sun.
That dude rocks, I love that material
You are right, new material is a must. Changing from Raging Cow to Sparky and put up semi-porn? A little sketchy...
semi porn? Is that naked tractor and trailers? You're sick.
What I posted was Christmas Vacation and Chelle watched it as a child with Fig
I have never thougt very highly of Ron or even like him for that matter.
I remember him listening to opera music. He was always sort of a fag.
But, I guess you can't choose who your brother is.
