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

[AirGoofy]

Back from another basketball game. This one ended in a 20-20 tie. This is the 2nd tie this season. My dds played well. Youngest able to get 4 goals.

 

[AirGoofy]

Anyone else out there tonite? Well, let me clarify. I know most of us are "out there", so is anyone on the Dis tonite?

 

[AirGoofy]

There are some small DVC contracts at the TSS. I am trying to talk DW into a 30 point BLT contract. We will see.

DW said to sleep on it.

I guess I can have a conversation with myself in print as opposed to just in my head.

Well, I guess it wouln't really be print. Perhaps you could go with bulletin board or social media site.

When you say bulletin board, I can't help to think of that thing you hang on the wall and use push pins to hold up paper. As for social media site, why is it that these pages load really fast once time and then there's a delay.

What's the price per point?

I'll give you bulletin board, but some people call them thumb tacks as opposed to push pins. I can't answer your question about the delay, perhaps one of the Kung Fu Masters of IT can better answer that.

I have an Asus EEE PC 1000 netbook that I bought at Toys R Us for $200 3 years ago. It's screen is as large as an Ipad with a keyboard. It has a 7.5 GB and Windows XP. I don't keep anything saved on it, but a networked it into my desktop where I have everything stored. It is great to take on trips, check email, Disboards, etc. And, it was a great price. It's speed is a little slow at times, but it was exactly what I needed and could afford.

Good to hear. Have debated buying one for my mom, because she only wants to surf the web with it, but as much as I did research on them, I haven't heard a first hand review yet.

 

[AirGoofy]

What's the price per point?

THe 30 point was at $100 per. There are 3 $50 point contracts a little lower. And, there was one 70 point contract at $89 per point.

We bought our BLT contract through DVC, but I'm debating adding on to it, and thought about going through a resale in order to get a smaller chunk of points.

DVC is addicting...

I've definitely got my money's worth. The only thing I don't like is the small memory size. I have to make sure I empty out brower history and recycle bin daily to keep a decent operating speed. Also, if I open Outlook and IE, then I get a Virtual Memory full message. So, as long as it is surfing and not saving anything, it is great.

Addonitis. I'd like to build up enough points where I could start doing 1 BR each trip, but can't afford that many points at once.

Its a good way to go about it. We're thinking that we'll keep needing more room as the kids grow, so adding on in pieces from here on out might be a good move...

I think thumb tacks are the ones with flat, round back that is almost flush with whatever it is pushed in. Push pins stick out from the object, almost like a handle, you know like the one used in the sword fight in the Bee movie. As for the Kung Fu IT Masters, that's a different thread. Let's not go there.

Only problem is that the are a different UY. My other contract is June as well. I know that if I bought at BLT with a different UY, the only difference is that I would have to keep up with different banking deadlines. And, they are only a few months off, so I don't think it would be that big a difference. I'd just have to book with multiple contracts.

But, when I googled thumb tacks, it showed images for both styles of pins you described.

But, when I googled push pins, the images showed the second style of pins and not the first, so I must be right.

yeah, I guess that adds a little wrinkle. If you buy direct from DVC, do they sync the use year? I assume yes?

Well, I don't think that you can be all that right. If you were, then you would have bought that BLT contract already.

 

[AirGoofy]

Yes. You would still get the same UY, but still have to book with multiple contracts. But, at $50 less per point, I could handle the inconvenience of banking points twice. I keep whispering "buy BLT points" and when DW laughs or says stop, I ask "what, are you hearing things"?
