DIS Dads DDC XVII - Leap year edition

[RodBelding]

I suppose I need to come up with something profound for my 4,000th post, but I'm going through a spell in my life when life seems to produce only questions, no answers. As always, I am thankful for the DIS Dads and their friendship, camaraderie, prayers and laughter. As we continue life's journey together, ponder such mysteries as these:

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Are we governed by predestination or free will?

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

How do the Philadelphia Eagles determine the best candidate to be their defensive coordinator?

Congratulations on post 4,000!

While I can't offer you answers to all of your questions, I can help with one;

Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?

A: Any highway built under the auspices of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and funded by the federal governent is called an interstate highway, even if it doesn't cross state lines. In fact, there are many local routes that lie entirely within a single state funded by the Act.
Hawaii has three interstates - H1, H2, and H3 - which connect important military facilities on the island of Oahu.



I hope that helps, even a small amount.

I don't know. Maybe you should ask a DOT engineer?

I actually knew that one! But it's fun to ask the question anyway.

Brian's Pro/Con question is an excellent one, however.

Double CRUD!

OK… time to start over…

‘Morning all,
Again, I’ve missed way too much.
My “employer” has been playing this little game with me for a while now:

Finally… finally I think I see a little bit of berating room.
I think I’ll roll back about five pages and make an attempt at seeing what’s going on.
Back in a bit.

I figured you might... I actually googled it and cut and pasted right from answers.com to see if anyone would notice...

Belated Well Wishes (at least the ones that I know of so far)


- Stopher… Happy Anniversary (and I vote cruse for the 20th one)

- A belated HBD to Christian

- Mark… terribly sorry to hear of the losses within you family.
Continued prayers and good wished are being offered.
(y’all have had a rather rough row to hoe for a while now).

- Andy… sorry to hear of your families losses as well.
Nemesis or not, prayers are being said for y’all as well.



And that’s just one page of trying to catch up! I think this whole group is in need of some pixy dust right about now.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Yah!!!! Some good news!

Good Afternoon Gentlemen, I just wanted to stop in and share that my wife had our little bundle of joy last Monday March 5th at 8:17pm. His name is Zachary Christopher and was 9pounds 10 ounces and 21 1/4 inches long.

Congratulations and welcome to the world Zach!
(or will it be Chris?)

Alright… time for lunch so I’ll pick back up where I left off in a while

(Yah… I know I’m just post-padding, but I’m way behind on this thread and I need to get busy catching up of a number of TRs as well)

Hi Guys GM all
And before i go back to page 188 and play a weeks worth of catch up here is a tiny TR of My Chicago trip ,
we flew Southwest for the first time and no problems with the size because me and brother sat next to each other . on arrival met up with a disney friend we ate at Portillos for Italian beef and chicago dogs and we traded DVC pins it was a NY - chicago DVC pin . then a 2 1/2 hour drive to my neice
Overrall without details it was like a canival ride I got to eat at a few places ,
Machine shed for breakfest only , Sonic ,steak & shake , even ate at an Hyvee this is a supermarket that had decent chinesee food . and Giordanos ,
Village inn diner (waafles and chicken for the first time ) , and the diner my neice worked at . It was really nice to see my neice again and her husband and especialy the baby . I love my sister and brother but i think when all 3 of us are together without mom they treat me like garbage Because mom lives near me and i do everything for her so i think mom tells them this and they hate it so when they can give me the screws they do needless to say this trip But i promised my neice before i got there that i would not cause her day any harm by telling them off . so i can say there was at least 5-6 times i had to take a walk . but when it came to that magical day it was beatiful Both of them were Beatiful and while they were cutting the cake the baby just started to laugh it was soo cute . forgot to say the had it at The River Music Experience and it was amazing venue . Today im just recouping not doing nothing . too many days from day to night and i have to work thursday.

Usually the Big Ten is underrated, but more often than not, there's a Big Ten team in the Final Four. We'll see how this one plays out, but top to bottom, the Big Ten was solid this year. Pac-10 (12) guys have no right to even talk about basketball.

They can start talking smack about other conferences when their regular season champion qualifies for the tournament.

Well said

I can see that in the next baseball movie.



Welcome back.



I see a future rematch coming. If UK can get past the UConn rematch

It's the tournament so anything can happen. However, I don't think Coach Cal will allow his team to lose to IU again. Having said that, my bracket shows the Hoosiers winning that game.

- Andy… sorry to hear of your families losses as well.

Thanks to you Rob, and everyone else for the prayers for his family.

I actually just talked to one of his sons about an hour ago and they have been given some answers as to what happened. Apparently he had a bacterial infection that got into his blood stream and was working on a valve. They said once the infection settled on the valve, it was going to kill him eventually, and the fact that he was running a marathon at the time had nothing to do with it. Just a sad story.

It just shows how we need to make each and every moment count with our friends and loved ones

Congratulations!!!! Handsome man you have there!

With the new format, it would be "We're number 69!"

I was going to comment... but I saw my nemesis already did.

Sorry to hear about your loss Andy.

Hope I didn't miss anything over the last few days....

Sunday was DD Juliana's 6th birthday. Friday I was running around all day getting supplies for her 3 birthday parties this weekend. Worked Friday night. Her school friends party was Saturday afternoon at our house then I left for work in the late afternoon. Sunday am she had another party for all her non-school friends at a pottery place. Sunday afternoon we had our family here at the house till 7. By the time we were done cleaning the house it was almost 11pm.

Spent the day yesterday hanging out with the wife. It was over 70 degrees here! I hope everyone had a great weekend... just trying to get into the swing of things here...
