DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Okay, I'm chuckling here.
Often I get these ads at the bottom of the page
"Meet Russian women!" or "Ukranian girls want to meet you!"
Something like that. Don't have a clue why.
But today, I look and there's an ad for some company called Franklin Sensors...
"Professional stud finders!"

Good to see that y'all were able to get in a bit of Disney on this trip.
Better that you were able to find a bit more balance in the family trip as well.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but "I Let it Go".

A little more drama. FIL fatigued or maybe injured but didn't want to go to Dr. So, he got a wheelchair to tour MK for about 6 hours yesterday. We were able to get a group picture with Mickey with everyone, he wanted to do Hall of Presidents, IASW, & Haunted Mansion - which we did - and ate at Columbia Harbour House along that path. Then, his son and that family ditched him. And, we finished with Space Mountain and CoP as wanted to do those. I was super impressed with WDW's disability program.

Good deal, glad to see you are having a good time and things with family drama have mellowed for you

Lucky man - again looks like the trip is ending on a great note!

We had a great day yesterday and didn't get back until 1:30 AM. Epcot today.

Nice to see things work out well for you. May those dollars saved go to your next Disney trip!

Where else would they go?

It's Randall's fault. He was looking at hot Russian babes in his computer, posted here, and the ads attached to your computer. Or, it's a good story if ....

Friday everyone! DS headed off at stupid o'clock this morning via a coach bus to Dallas for his second trip to TSA Nationals. For those that want to have some free Disney Park emojis and Disney related gis, including starwars, we found a new app called Disney Gif.
Everyone have a great weekend - been hotter than **** this week but suppose to break tonight / tomorrow a.m.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but "I Let it Go".

Randall Update: Full Discloser. (Posting both in the DIS and Facebook, because some of you guys don’t go to the other place.)

The knee is doing very well. The incision is fully closed and healing fine. I am going to physical therapy three times a week and am walking unassisted. If I do say so myself, I walk pretty darn well now that both of my legs are about the same length. One of cooler things I do in PT is walk in an Alter G. This is an anti-gravity treadmill, when I get zipped into it; it fills with air and lifts me up until I am at 100% weightless. I then adjust to a % of my weight and walk.

Speaking of weight, the Doctor told me that with the previous damage to my leg, there was not much material left to work with. If I wanted this new knee to last a long time, I needed to lose weight. I took this to heart and joined Weight Watchers three weeks ago and as of last Saturday I have lost over 15 pounds since my pre-surgery weigh in, 12 pounds officially in WW.

As you may remember, I was let go at the end of March from my job. Took a quick trip to Disney and then came home to do four surgeries in two months. The knee was the last of them. I wasn’t really looking too hard for a job, but I needed one to keep up my Disney fixes. Well, the day before my knee surgery I got a call from one of my vendors from my last job looking to see if I needed a job. I told them yes but knee surgery. They asked that I call them back when I got out of the hospital. I called them and we set up an appointment for them to come to the house to interview me. Some of you know what happens here. I posted over in the Pub about the appointment and was given the advice to wear pants. If I remember correctly the time to meet was 2pm, well a little before 1pm I get a text asking if they could come now as they were in the area already. I text back, “Sure come on over, just give me a few minutes to put on pants” thanks guys. The interview went well and I felt I was doing ok. Then came those two dreaded questions. First was “What is your strength?” I told them what I felt it was. Then the interviewer looked up from his writing and say, “You know the next one, What are your weaknesses?” And without missing a beat, I said “Kryptonite and Lois Lane!”
Yesterday I got the offer letter, less vacation from my last job, but more money! I start July 13th.

Until next time this is your Disney friend Randall signing off…

Nope. We're all gone.

Happy Friday All. Hope it's been a good one for you.

Our was a bit craze as it included an unscheduled hand surgery for DS. He had a soccer game last night in a city about an hour away and he was playing keeper last night, first time in 2 years. (Their normal keeper was away.) About half way through the second half, one of the opposing players kicked him hard enough to break his right index finger in right at the knuckle. Being the trooper that he is, he played the rest of the game, even getting some more touches on the ball. Once we say what his finger looked like we decided that a trip to the emergency room was probably a good idea. Luckily the regional hospital was next to the field.

After the attending physician saw the x-ray, he recommended we find a hotel and return to their plastics clinic in the am. So even though we had no other clothes, toiletries or contact solution, we found a hotel and returned to the hospital in the morning. Again, luck was on our side as the specialist he saw turned out to be one of the leading hand reconstruction surgeons in the world and promptly decided that he was putting a wire in his finger and we would need to make a few visits back down the highway to see him again. The bad news for DS is that the wire needs to be there for 6 weeks so that puts him out of action for awhile. The biggest hit for him is that he will now miss the high performance basketball camp he was invited too.

Other than that, it was a good day.

Afternoon guys and happy Friday. Getting ready for France Germany in a few. Tomorrow will not be a great day, I am attending the memorial service for the brother of a close friend. The deceased and I were in the same high school graduating class. They chartered a boat to spread his ashes.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but "I Let it Go".

Sounds like a great day. And having had someone in a wheelchair, you are right Disney does it better than anyone.

Sorry to hear about the finger trouble, hope all goes well with the healing.

Sorry to hear that. Chartering a boat to spread the ashes is a nice touch.

Gotta luv the toughness this kid displays - kudos. Sorry to hear about the basketball but maybe they can give some kind of protective device for him to play soccer on the pitch?
