Ever feel like you just did a beer bong full of Beverly, followed by someone using one of those stadium t-shirt cannons to fire a jar of Peanut Butter at your groin? Yup.

Fly out for Florida tomorrow at noon. Forecast for tomorrow here in Milwaukee? 6-10" of snow with blowing and drifting. Cruise doesn't leave until Thursday, and Tuesday evening and Wednesday were basically planned as hanging out with the in-laws at their place, so I'm not too upset if we're delayed a little bit. But sitting at the airport, watching it snow and staring at an empty gate where our plane should be sitting for 3....4.....5.... hours with 3 kids could get a wee pit annoying.

Is this guy who is leaving for a Disney cruise really looking for sympathy here?

j/k Have a safe and memorable trip.

I'll try. If only there were something special you could post for me today. Specifically today. Then I'm sure I'd feel better.

Happy Birthday Chris!

I was looking for images of Dole Whips with Bacon on Google and I found this...

The thing that stands out to me in this picture is that those of us who didn't get the memo that it was red shirt day got relegated to the back row.

Remember that promotion I interviewed for? I got rejected this morning. So I have no such information to disprove your claim.

Seems like I've seen you post something similar once or twice before. Sorry to hear the powers that be still don't appreciate you.

Howdy fellow dads, hope all is well, been away from the DIS for a few months (prob missed 20 threads lol) everything is good here, hope everything is good with all dads. Just got back from our crazy weekend WDW trip, it was great, and thank you to all the guys for your suggestions, esp on dining o'hana dinner was amazing. I honestly didn't take alot of pictures so my trip report will be alittle bland so it won't hurt my feelings if no one reads it. I also planned on taking a break from planning our Oct DL trip but as luck has it southwest opened up the flight dates this morning so hotel and air are now booked. Also welcome to all new Disdads that I missed while away and prayers for those family's who need them.

Thanks. Everybody always tells me I'm a great interview, presented myself well, I was right there among the finalists, blah blah blah. In other words, I'm a terrific candidate to work somewhere else.

David - congrats on the acceptance. Good luck with the rest of it!

Chris - ouch, sorry to hear that. See if they can record the video for you to post here.

Everyone else -

Thanks Barry

Well then,,,

Hey Chris!

Happy Birthday Chris

This is where I guess I would say Tim had a good idea, but Bambi called me before I read Tim's post, so the credit for the good idea goes to Bambi. Better luck next time, buddy.

Anyway, the Winter Storm Warning starts tomorrow morning at 6am. I called Southwest and got on an earlier flight, leaving at 6:15. It's a connecting flight in Kansas City instead of a direct flight, but if we can get out of Wisconsin before the storm hits I can deal with that.

Now to accelerate all of our plans by 6 hours, including cutting into my beauty sleep for the 3am wake up call to make the drive to the airport.

Taking one for the team, thats Barry

I hope it gets better

Hope you get out ok. BTW you need more than 3 or 4 extra hours to get enough beauty sleep.

I think that's the employment version of "it's not you- it's me".

Happy Birthday Chris!

Thanks! How 'bout them Blackhawks!!

Happy Birthday Chris

Like sands through the hourglass...

Happy Birthday Chris

Thanks and congratulations on being approved. We happened to see recent pictures of our Ukranian visitor this weekend. She was wearing some of the clothes we got her. She was smiling, so that was nice to see.

 

[Wherem I Now]

Maybe next time, Mike! How did the event go?

Oh... and you failed to mention the fact that you went to a mall that DIDN'T have the Disney store in it!

The event went OK. She thought that she had done very well and was rather upset about it when she didn't place but I'm reserving judgements until we see the score sheets.

That's twice that I have been in the VA Beach area in the last year and haven't been able to pull off the meet with you. Thankfully we made that meet at the "other" beach last year.

The mall choice was made by the WOMEN. They were looking for a certain few stores. Unfortunately, the Disney Store wasn't on the list. It is one of the only stores in any mall that may get my attention. Otherwise, there had better be tools.

I REALLY don't like shopping so I disappeared for a while (found a comfy couch) until I got "the call".

I was looking for images of Dole Whips with Bacon on Google and I found this...

They look like they have had a Dole Whip and some bacon...

Nah, think hotter, like lava.

Hey Philip, was wondering were you got off to.

Get a map out and check out the hotels across the street from DLR. Then check them on Trip Advisor. We did that last June and got a nice place right across the street. I swear it was quicker walking to the hotel then it was walking to the buses at some of the parks in WDW.

Although I'm very curious to know why the girl is laughing at the backside of the penguin... what did you put on that thing, Randall??

Please tell me the light at the end of this tunnel is not an oncoming train!!

Nah... just the sunlight reflecting off the chiny spinners on your trailer....

Sorry to hear that, Mark. There's always tomorrow for dreams to come true......

Well, they say third time's the charm. Huess we'll just have to meet back up at the other beach then.

Yes... I think you are a little outnumbered gender-wise there. Good call on the couch

It said "If you are close enough to read this, Introduce yourself."

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Sorry to hear this Mark

Sorry to hear that Mark.

Don't worry, I'm kind of used to this by now.

I think that's the employment version of "it's not you- it's me".

Exactly! Sooner or later I want to ask, "If I'm really that great, how come no one wants to hire me?"

I hope she is doing well.

No, I looked at Disney's employment site. I should have been a software engineer.

BTW Don, "the girl" has a name, she's Emma!

Mark, you have a meowing fireplace, at least you have that going for you...

You should read his TR... it's fantastic A new appreciation for personal man space

Disney for DD’s 16th with her 6 GFs? Are You Stupid Nuts?

Thanks. Once I get through all of the hoop tourney planning I'll read through. Just from the title, it sounds like an enjoyable read.

Everyone else -

Prayers for the weather to cooperate and for the planes to be on time. We had this happen with TS Beryl (I think it was Beryl). Luckily we were in Disney and spent about 4 hours in DisneyQuest. I think all airports should be required to put a DQ at the airports to entertain delayed passengers.

Hey Norm.....A new business idea!
