DIS Dads DDC XV - We put the "FUN" in dysfunctional! Christopher's thread...

[AirGoofy]

August 19-25

Dang. School starts back up for us. I was going to try to con DW into an extra WDW vacation/ DIS Dad summer meet.

Someone call Fed's cat!

Normally, I don't want to see cats. But, these are good. My dds cat just lays around and eats all day. I don't like the competition.

OK, this will probably get lost in all the cat pictures but...

Just bought a 20 game plan for the Marlins for next season. Any of you boys coming down here during the summer and want to catch some baseball, let me know.

Brian, still working on if I have the meeting on Tues. or Wed. Will let you know if I am good for dinner sometime on Monday.

I would definitely want to catch up to you there. But, it looks like my summer WDW plans are not going to happen.

I don't like the competition.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Hi Steve

Hi Dave

Hi nemesis running up your post count.

ok, so i get the other screen, i plug it in to my laptop. the screen shows up with what is on the laptop. ok, ill unplug it and see what happens. still working fine. i log the computer off and turn it off. it shuts off as normal. now, here is where it hasnt been working. i would have to hard start it 20 times to get it to work, nope, now it comes on with no problem.(the other screen is not plugged in) ok, its a fluke. i turn it on and off five times and each time it worked.
so, why would plugging another screen in the laptop and unplugging the other screen fix the problem? i quess ill find out if it turns on ok tomorrow.

I am way too intoxicated to interpret this.

Everyone must be out on the town it's kind of quite in here.

Here now. Long day.

Hey Guys! How you doing? I have been busy with work and Ethan's basketball practice and games...our family has become like ships passing in the night!

I feel like I am so far behind on things...what have I missed??

You missed all our brilliant insight. I am coaching dds basketball team this season. I probably should have went to school for PT or anything close to sports. I am so much happier there than my job.

Dell is the problem

My desktop is a dell that runs my whole network - netbook, 2 kindle fires, and printer. It is 6 years old. I absolutely love it.

I'd like to run, but it will be tricky. .

I'd like to run too, but wouldn't make it 50 feet. Good luck.

A Friday night treat for all...

Not quite sure I'm ready for that combo.

You caught that one too.

Waiting to go on raids....so I'm a little sharper than normal....two of my guys looked at me like I was nuts because I just burst out laughing

Ain’t buyin’ it… The Minivan of Doom doesn’t get flat tires, now does it?

DW's office has construction near the back parking lot. She ended up having 3 flats last year. Since the city is doing the constuction, I think it's a tax deduction. Don't tell anyone.

I think Irsay should pay him a little more than the $28 million on the condition he retires, immediatley. Irsay can afford it and then he and Manning both win in the fans eyes.

Irsay can pay me 1/2 that much and I guarentee the Colts will win 1 game.

Is it a GM product? They might not have lost the wrench. I broke the wrench that came with my 1993 chevy truck. I've also broken a jack on a 2003 Silverado I used to own. They're basically "use it once and throw it away" tools. Get a cheap hydraulic jack and a universal lug wrench somewhere and you'll be better off.

My FIL let me drive his new GMC Sierra 5.7 Liter. Huge power. I barely touched the gas and was going 70 mph in a non-70 zone. It rode real smooth, but there was something about it that I just did not like.

OK guys...

Have any of you ever used the Grocery delivery services to deliver any alcohol to you?!

Sorry, we bring when we drive in. I can store beer in the cooler and it stays cold with all the ice. Liquor does well. I enjoy that in the evening (or during a non-park day) as well.

We just did the 12-hour drive. Wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared. Although, managing the bowels of a 2-year old was a challenge and added a few stops.

Am so glad mine are out of diapers. They can usually make it a few hours to stop at gas station to use the bathroom. The odor from those diapers called for a quick stop.

I thought about calling her crash when I met her at the half-marathon, but thought she may be sensitive about it. But yes, great nickname.

Mine really haven't earned any good nicknames yet. I tend to try a lot out, but nothing sticks. Hopefully, no one has to wreck anything before I figure one out.

I'm glad I could provide some entertainment. Good luck tonite.

Don't have the time to go back over the last 7 pages or so.

Good to see you putting forth all that effort. That's just what I would do. Oh, wait a minute....

is this thread still open?

And, it's good to see it still open.

I am all about sharing, but when I have to share via the government who wastes 2 out of every three dollars you are forced to give them, I start to get bumed out. And that statement is true for whoever is in office.

Agree 100%. And, they just recycle them. Some of them, like Panetta, aren't even elected. They just keep getting assigned to different government agencies without being elected and run the show for 40 years. There's nothing we can do except enjoy the time we have with the ones we love (and go to WDW).

Add beer to the list and you've pretty much got it all covered.

Once you add beer to the list, the list is done. Well, it probably needs to include bacon and beer as well.

With my long days and driving this week, I managed to eat Hardee's monster burgers on two different days. Man, those are the best burgers but even I cannot eat like that. I need to try to exercise more, if not to lose weight, then to just maintain my current huge size and eat more of those burgers. That would be 1300 calories for the burger and another 400 calories for the onion rings. Good thing the Crown Royal and Coors Light are calorie free.

 

[that's nice]

Brian!



Sure! What do you want to bet?

How about breakfast at your wonderful place of employment?

We will be there I believe on Monday the 20th.... I'll text ya. I think I still have your #.

Aloha guys!

Looks like you are having a lot of fun! Love the pictures! I wish I was back there!!!!!!!!

Anyone have funny cat photos?

errrrr.... isn't that what got us in trouble in the 'thread that shall not be talked about?'

 

[that's nice]

Going for it while everyone is sleeping OWNAGE!

Nice block Tim. I was thinking the same thing.

 

[baseballmickey]

hola...

not much to say. just checking in. tired. been a long day. just had reheated pizza for a very late dinner, and next up will be the couch with my kindle and prisoner of azkaban, with ghost adventures on in the background. (i can't get enough of paranormal shows). I am sure I'll be asleep before too long.

What did I learn today You don't want to go to Chuckie Cheese on a fri night

oh, yeah. I wouldn't want to be caught up in that.

we did Chuckie Cheese on DD's birthday, which was a friday. But we went right when DW got home, around 4:30pm and we made sure we were in and out before the parties got underway.

 

[cj9200]

Ha!

It's the worst possible matchup for the Pats, so there's that at least...

Do you have any wagers with any dads and is there any chance you could both lose?

No comment on the "nuts" reference. Stay safe man.

Am so glad mine are out of diapers. They can usually make it a few hours to stop at gas station to use the bathroom. The odor from those diapers called for a quick stop.

Amen to the diapers part. A couple of times she decided to finger paint her crib with her diaper deposits. I still haven't forgiven her for that.

My nicknames seem to come naturally. It started with Pooh (reason see above and she was a chunky baby); Princess because she is my Princess; the Pirate Princess because I needed to toughener her up for school when she wore the patch and of course Crash (if you read my recounts of her TWO driving mishaps than you know the story behind that one). Others have come and gone over the years and I imagine more will appear in the future. Let me know if you need any help with nicknames Norm.

I hopped on to see what everyone's been talking about.. cats and bacon.

Or a Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday...

I don't mind it if it's empty, which I find it usually is in the afternoon on a school day. I won't eat there though. I just take DD in, get a few bucks worth of tokens, and we play some games. It's become a tradition of sorts to do this on or around her birthday.

Aloha once again.

I have been having a wonderful time. This resort is lovely. The restaurants (I've tried them all now) are neat & full of some great food - sure there are choices I don't care for (sushi in particular), but some really neat stuff.

I was disappointed last evening, in the fact that the luau that was to be held on the Makaloa Garden lawn was cancelled due to rain. It was supposed to start at 7pm, but it started raining around 6, yet had stopped by 6:50t. But it was cancelled anyway. Oh well, hopefully next time.

Today I sampled the shave ice, and yum! Of course I've always loved shaved ice, so it's no wonder I liked it. There were 15 flavors to choose from, and you're allowed up to 3. I chose Mango, Banana & Watermelon.

My brother came by the resort today, and it was fun to show him around. We even got our picture taken with Goofy.

Here's a shot taken this evening prior to dinner. I ate at Makahiki, which is a buffet restaurant, serving a wide variety of choices between Chinese, Japanese and Hawaiian food selections.

And then here are couple taken at sunset, out on the promontory at the edge of the lagoon.

This sweetie was out and about this morning, and Stitch, and Chip & Dale were here too.

Hope you all are doing well. After Aulani - Disneyland. I'm looking forward to that visit as well.
