[IamTrike]

I debated which thread to drop this in, but figured I'd put it here. Its a pretty inspirational video of a guy with Cerebral Palsy running the Marathon at Disney this year.

IPhone update:

Phone arrived today, but we're currently backing up all the media and contacts from her blackberry before activating. Her blackberry needed an update in order to utilize verizon's backup assistant, and well, that took several hours to complete.

While this was going on, the phone rang and it was verizon wireless responding to an email I sent them. After the screwup last tuesday when I purchased the phone and was told to expect it in 2 days, only to find out 3 days later it hadn't shipped because noone told me I needed to log in to my account and accept the terms and conditions... I complained about that (nicely) and this is what I got: They paid our next month of phone service for us as an apology!

First the new job opportunity, and now this???? Is today April 1st??

wow... I need to write more letters/emails to companies. I always say I am going to, but never do.

You're having a pretty rocking day. Did you by any chance buy a lottery ticket or enter the "1 more day" contest.

All this talk about dentists. Due to stupid decisions from high school until recently, I sat in a dentist's chair at least once a week from Oct. '10- about March '11. Had an emergency root pulling (the rest of the tooth was already gone), emergency front teeth capping (due to a trip to the asphalt), about 5 or 6 crowns, probably just as many root canals, and a couple gold fillings. All said and done, the grand total for those visits came to about $2500. The only thing my insurance paid for was the front teeth capping (since I fell at work, chasing after some hooligan students).

Welcome!!

There can never be enough Canadians here

Thank you. I do love Canada. Had a lot of fun in Toronto and Montreal. Great fishing too.

What did you eat in Canada? That's big topic around here.

I just noticed your bottom signature. Are you trying to make this thread move along faster?

Well I hope you smile a lot. You've got to show off your investment.

I broke her!!! That's right DW could not fight it anymore and gave in to my need to go to WDW! Flight is booked, DVC points used, we are leaving in about 2 weeks!

Congratulations on breaking your wife

It was the water boarding that made the difference.

Ummm you might want to refer back to the post earlier about as a married guy arguing with the only person that you can get "some" from. I'm pretty sure waterboarding = arguing = not gonna get any, anytime soon.

Indeed, I do. If you were to look at almost all pictures of me pre-Oct. '10, all closed mouth smiles. After March '11, big toothy smiles.

Oh good, the Leafs finally decided to show up tonight...

Leafs Ownage!

p.s. Please refrain from slamming on the brakes in the acceleration lane because you failed to merge. The fifty people behind you will thank you.



Sounds like a great opportunity

Yes it does.

No she wanted to go as bad as I did. She just also wanted home improvements. Looks like I'll be doing the work instead of hiring someone.

Congrats!

Thanks I can't wait. I have done Disney with a 6 month old a while back, but Disney with a 3.5 yo and adding 4 month old will bring a whole new set of challenges.

Yeah but they beat the Islanders.

That team is more messed up than a dryer full of drunk monkeys.

Great work. Kegerator installed yet? That's the next project.

Only 100 more to close this baby

Silence. Not you too.

Was great... He's never been there before.

He is planning 6 days no PH.

I asked him how many days for each park.

He said:
MK x 2
EP x 1
HS x 1
AK x 2

Good thing we sat down - disaster averted.

I told him to switch AK with EP for 2 days..

Good catch. AK is a single day, 1/2 day, or we skip it completely.

does it make his butt look big? no white, its after labor day.

Potential man card revocation. You are not allowed to ask that question or know what to wear after labor day.

I never did that sort of thing....warrants for murder on the other hand

Our police serves warrants on Christmas day because everyone is home.

I'll be using the mousesavers/UT discount for our upcoming trip, with a possible bridge of the tickets up to APs.

It would certainly give him sibling bragging rights, but rings don't necessarily mean a QB is great.

I don't know how to upgrade to APs. I doubt Dilfer will be considered a better QB than Marino with the rings argument, but even if Eli doesn't have all the great stats, if he gets more rings, he might get ranked higher.

I know....I was hoping for a Packers - Niners Super Bowl (I realize this is impossible - but a guy can hope can't he??) ID-10-T error.

I'm just happy BALTIMORE LOST....

Oh...hey Randall!

This is the odds on favorite next year in Vegas. Double down.

Yep, pretty much. If they're in my metro area, I'll meet with them in person. Did that every day this week regarding multiple cruises, Disney trips, a river cruise, even a safari in Africa (the real one, not the Disney-fied one down south).

I've done client meetings at restaurants for years. It's always been great - except for many of the smaller town meetings where you just never quite know what you're going to get. I prefer to go with national or regional brands for consistency of product, or at least a semblance of consistency - but many small town folk love their mom & pop stuff. So far everyone has asked me where I would like to meet, and I like that. It's the "let's meet at ..." crowd that gets me a bit leery at times.

Oh and it was pretty cool this morning too - driving home from church. I got a call from someone responding to the magnet sign on my car. Score. Set up a meeting with them after I get back from HI & CA to talk river cruising in China. Just put the signs on yesterday and today they at least got me noticed in a good way.

A great idea. I wish you the best of luck.

And quite the job you did too!

And, thank you for that.

If I ever had to evacuate from Miami because of a hurricane, I am heading to WDW. Building codes are way better than most cities and the infrastructure is the best. And my house was built in 1930 and is built as strong as a concrete bunker.



Keep safe dude.

OK, now what do I do for the Super Bowl. Hate the Pats, Hate the Giants. Maybe just watch the commercials.

Good to know. Our house is built of straw so the tornado is likely to carry us over the rainbow. But, not watching the superbowl is a potential man card revocation. There are some potential exceptions ...
