DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

[BigTikiDaddy]

Evening...it was a Peanut Buttery type of day. Store is pretty much at the breaking point now. Tense beyond words.

One...Two!
Two Strawberries! Ah Ah Ah!

​

My favorite type of reading. So, do you point the inconsistencies between the comic and the movie to others? After so long, DW looks at me and says no more.

All that does is encourage me.

Going to WDW tomorrow morning so all should be well with the world right? Instead of getting ready for the trip I have been driving the porcelain bus all afternoon. Took the kid out to dinner and had them wrap up my food instead of trying to eat it. Things seem to settle down a bit but I need this to go away.

OK guys, I hate to go back ON TOPIC, but I have a question that's been bothering me about a trip I took back in 1990...

It seems to me that I was on a ride in EPCOT and at the end of it, it gave you an "option" to select one of 3 scenes at the end of it with a push of a button in the ride vehicle. It seems to me, that I remember the ride vehicle swiveling at the end to show you these scenes to select from. I want to say they were projected images or something.

I keep thinking it was Spaceship Earth - but I could be wrong.

Any ideas? It's been bothering the heck out of me trying to figure out what it was.

you were on horizons scott. i posted a link "over there" to the youtube link.

I remember that. Was that there in 1987? That was a trip I went with my parents and I remember getting to select your ending. Was tht where Mission Space is?

Yikes. I don't want to be CJ today.

I do remember that. Spaceship earth does a similar type thing, but I do think Horizons is probably what you're thinking of...

 

[AirGoofy]

Speaking of Epcot rides, the was one there in 2000 when DW and I honeymooned. It was a story about Jerusulem, with the large viewing tv screen and the sets were part of a big simulator. I think there were other cities were represented.

 

[AirGoofy]

I posted this on FB. I think th Knicks MVP may be the fire extinguisher. I guess some people really can't play together. Is this what's making you sick, CJ?

 

[wasnotafan]

Agreed. How does one define success? Wealth is a great start. Or, is it being happy at ones career? What did I read in the Total Money Makeover? Invest $2K for the first 5 years of adult life at 18, 10% APY return, stop investing at 23 and retire close to a millionaire with compound interest? I wish someone had told me that at 18.

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

millennium village. it was part of the 2000 celebration. brazil,chile,denmark,israel and saudia arabia were all represented.
they also had the tapestry of nations parade.
dont forget illuminations2000: reflections of earth.
dont forget the the big mm hand holding a wand with a 2000 over space ship earth.

Guess I hit a hot point with the Dads. Glad for those of you that have good schools and I am not surprised to see that you are all involved in your children's education. That is what a DISDad does.

well... not ALL disdads....
i let the TV do way too much babysitting.

but, I'm spending all my time on the message boards.

Me too

i forget why i hit the multi-quote on this one... Oh, it was the Air Goofy thing about saving $2000 a year early is better than saving 2000 a year later in life.

yes, someone told me at 13 about the saving $2000 a year from 18-30, and you'd make more than you would saving $2000 a year from 30-60. (based on compound interest, etc)

Trouble is: i didn't MAKE $2000 a year, much less be able to SAVE that much. Then once we did, the bills got in the way of saving, and, long story short... I don't have much of a 401k yet.

 

[cj9200]

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!

Was in the middle of packing everything, called to have the shuttle pick me up and printed out my flight info. Date on the ticket was 5-5 which is SATURDAY not FRIDAY. What a doof. At least I will have another day for my stomach to feel better.

Actually did this once before. Drove up to check in at BLT and I was a day early. Luckily they had a room for me. Chalk it up to being old and infirmed.

I have been staring at my calendar for MONTHS now, PRAYING my dates are right. I compare my google calendar to my Disney Calendar. They are both right for right now... but i'm still nervous i'll show up for my Hollywood Brown Derby reservation a day late, and not get my cobb salad.

I've heard that one before. I can't do many of those.

I have a picture of that mm hand somewhere. I'll have to scan and post it. 2000 was my first trip to WDW, other than that 4 hour trip to Epcot with my parents in 1987 on Spring Break. I think I did get to ride Horizons. I walked round the World Showcase with my mom, rode 3 rides while my dad pouted about how much money he had spent and sat in the car.

i forget why i hit the multi-quote on this one... Oh, it was the Air Goofy thing about saving $2000 a year early is better than saving 2000 a year later in life.

yes, someone told me at 13 about the saving $2000 a year from 18-30, and you'd make more than you would saving $2000 a year from 30-60. (based on compound interest, etc)

Trouble is: i didn't MAKE $2000 a year, much less be able to SAVE that much. Then once we did, the bills got in the way of saving, and, long story short... I don't have much of a 401k yet.

We started a 401K after we were married, but not a large contribution. Also, my haphazard method of picking funds and trying to time th market was not very successful. It wasn't until I read Dave Ramsey's total money makeover a few years ago that we started on the right direction.

Funny enough, my dad taught me to never carry cash because you might get robbed. As Dave says, the thieves can't see who is carrying cash or a credit card. DW's mom was not good with money and didn't have a credit card, so DW only used cash. When we got married, I convinced her to stop carrying cash, and now that I want her to give up th credit card, she won't.

So, while we don't completely follow the Dave Ramsey system, we refinanced th house and will have it paid off in 20 years from original purchase. We increased 401K contribution and picked mutual funds based on his recommendations how to pick them. DVC would not be a Dave Ramsey recommendation. But, praise the Lord, everything will continue as is for the next 10 - 12 years and DW and I can retire with government & teachers retirement, work part time for another 10 years, and then start living on interest from 401K.

You probably travel more than I do, but I would think the date of arrival would be important. Really, I can't make it in life without my smartphone or iPad. Everything is in there.

Again, I have all my calendars linked on Windows phone and iPad, so that I can sync my vacation days. I have not put all my ADRs in there yet for the October trip. I think I have a plan on something do at work tomorrow.

Was it just me, or did anyone else get just a little excited to see Dave posting right after a post about "the porcelain bus"? Iwas hoping we'd get a rundown of the best toilets to hurl into or something.

Oh well. Hope you feel better soon CJ. Or at least a day after soon, because you don't leave until Saturday.

Good morning Dads

According to my first period class, not only is math hard, but "it's too early for math"

I need to run or something, maybe seeing you guys posting about it will encourage me to do something.

We have this thread, although, admittedly, I've been slacking off a lot lately.

You can alway chime in on this thread. It is about running and how I am going to WHIP Barry's butt come January.

It's DIS Dad friendly too!!!!!

Up by 13 now.

At least I figured it out before arriving at the airport tomorrow.

Thanks. My bus has worked well so far.

You may be right. I will blame him for all my problems from now on.

Let's not confuse the poor new guy. He'll probably think you're talking about finishing the race before me, but then he'll eventually come across that picture of you on your front step, whipping yourself. Then he won't know what to think anymore.


Besides, I have a secret weapon on my side: speed!

I told you to stop hanging around with Barry, didn't I?

If that was from hanging out with me, he's probably purging off a bunch of excess Awesome. Most people can't handle as much as emanates from me.
