DS was upset and I was trying to calm him down and then I noticed he was wheezing. so off to the doctor we went and it looks like bronchitis. DS on albuterol because insurance won't cover xopenex anymore.

time to get ready for work... also time to weigh in to see how i did in Week 4 of shedding 40lbs...

Prayers for your son and continued good luck on weight loss. My youngest has asthma. I hit my 20 lb weight loss before I left on vacation. Dinner today was the sea shack - fried seafood.

i no longer have the lunch box but i do have my thermos from my first day of school. that would be sept 1970. sorry its a little fuzzy. its hard to read but it is a disney circus thermos.

this thermos is older than alot of the dads.

Yup. Older than me.

DisDad Dole Whip Delivery service... a new business venture!! (free bacon with every order)

What's the markup? We want this venture to be successful.

Gentlemen, Monorail Red will have itself wrapped in Avengers soon

Looks awesome

Looking forward to movie and monorail.

Look at what my DW found while setting up for our church's yard sale happening this Sat morning:

e...

Good catch.

In New York and the W has great wifi. Will try to post some pictures later. Visited St. John's this morning. The Pirate Princess was meh about it. Seems the boys are the smart nerd type she has at her High School. Actually the biggest factor with her was it is a small campus with a lot of students that commute. Did see the BB arena which was neat (for me, not her).

Canceled Seton Hall visit for tomorrow and instead she will be going there on a sleep over with a student host on Sunday. The Pirate Princess might actually become a Pirate.

I missed NY. Then we went out for dinner last night and after I got the bill, Miami is looking better. That and I froze my behind off on the tour during a "nice day" here. NY is great place. Still miss it but probably would not move back.

Continued prayers on a big life decision for your dd (& you). Looking forward to pics.

Not quite, but it is older than my almost-DW

So I mentioned before that I have a conference in May in Orlando, a few miles from WDW. Today I got the bright idea to try and get DW to come along for before it starts and spend a couple days in WDW, just the 2 of us. Seeing as we'd only need to pay for her airfair and 1 night hotel, the costs isn't too bad... Now if we can only find someone to take the 2 rugrats for a couple days...

Congrats. You can always lock the kids in the closet. Throw them some food before you go - don't be cruel.

Ahem… Hay, ummmm…. Guys


If perchance y’all remember me, ya’ know I use to be a regular around here. My employer, however, has decided that the situation calls for a marked increase in the level of beatings doled out until moral improves noticeably. Needless to say…
It’s been a rather miserable couple of weeks. I think I see a little (make that itsy-bitsy tintsy-weintsy little) bit of day light, but I’m not sure I ought to admit that out loud. I don’t want to bring down additional wrath upon my head and end up having to endure continued beatings. Obviously, I’ve missed a lot but I do see a number of very fine things are happening right about now.


Norm!!! Enjoy the sun down there on our little coast.
Wish I could head down that way, but stuff like that will have to wait a while yet.
).

Thanks. Sorry to hear about the Bevery boss.

Have a nice trip Norm

Have an awesome time....

Have a great trip nemesis

Can't wait to see pics. I hope we can go next year!!

Congrats Barry and family.


Glad you made it safely, enjoy the sc coast.

Thanks all. So far so good. Turns out DW booked us an extra night this trip. I must have missed it on the DVC site. So good news, but did not pack enough clothes. I wore this same t-shirt since Thursday night at 7:30 PM. Time for a shower.

 

[AirGoofy]

Have a great time Norm!

Gotta love a sunrise on the coast! Great start to a relaxing vacation!

Have a good one Norm!

Enjoy Hilton Head.

Norm, have a great vacation!

Have a great Friday and weekend gentlemen and best wishes to those of you in the lottery. If you need someone to mow your grass in Golden Oaks I may know someone willing to do it for a price : I'll even make runs for Dole Whips for you.

Thanks guys for the well wishes. As for lotto, if I win enough to buy into Golden Oaks, my plan is to build a guest house for the disdads. You all just have to decide how to split it up.

okay... been crazy the last couple of days. very tired. job is still going well, despite dealing with some people who just don't get it. Problem is that I am essentially part-time with not a lot of say in things that get done before I arrive at work. It's frustrating to not be involved in the process and then try to get them to correct things last minute before the show.

Had a "different kind of day yesterday." Got very frustrated (probably from lack of sleep) and put my foot through a wicker laundry basket. Then, with the basket still stuck to my foot, I broke the baby gate because it got stuck and I gave it a very frustrated yank. Oops.

DS was upset and I was trying to calm him down and then I noticed he was wheezing. so off to the doctor we went and it looks like bronchitis. DS on albuterol because insurance won't cover xopenex anymore.

dont feel bad, we all need a little fit every so often. briana laughs everytime i tell this story. i use an electric weed wacker. last summer im wackin the weeds and the thing stops. i wiggle the cord by the wacker and it works for 10 more seconds. stops again. this goes on for three weeks. finally, i take the thing apart, clean it up and it works for about 2 min. and it stops again!!! wiggle the cord and it starts, for about another 3 seconds. i unplug it and my 3/4 italian takes over!!! i grab it like a baseball bat and smash the &^%$^&*(*& on the side walk into a zillion pieces!!!! i know, didnt solve anything but i felt better. i go out and buy a battery operated one. i hang it in the garage and plug it into the same extension cord i used for the weed wacker. what the heck, no power.
so, it wasnt the wacker that was no good it was the stinkin EXTENSION CORD THAT WAS NO GOOD!!!!
we come home a few nights ago and one of my path lights were out. i said to tammy, must be a burned out bulb. brianas in the back seat laughing away. i said whats so funny. she said, look out mom, tomorrow we are going to find all the path lights smashed into a million pieces on the sidewalks. now i see why lions eat there young!

Enjoy my friend!!

Have a fun and safe trip!

Thanks guys. So let me try a live report with my new iPad and photobucket app.

Here we are at the entrance at 7:00 AM. We left Owensboro around 7:30 PM night before, and stopped for breakfast at Starbucks.

Here is the view over the island.

We did the over 1 mile walk to the beach house. Here is the view of th ocean.

After being cramped in the car all night on a 2 hour nap (thanks to wonderful DW or I couldn't have made it), it was a long walk but fun. I really liked the beach house. The beach at HHI is a lot bigger than th one at Vero, but I think I like Vero better since the beach is right there and you don't have to drive or ride the bus to the beach. Still, it is absolutely beautiful here. I cold definitely see myself vacationing here on a regular basis. And, with DVC, the dues cover my room. I just have to pay for food. Hopefully, more pics later.

great pics norm!! we always wanted to stop at both of them one year. we are not to much of beach people but always wanted to check it out.

 

[JHMCARTY]

What's up everyone? Trying to catch up on everything....

Should I get a lawyer now for when my numbers come up tonight? Or a police escort?

 

[scott2997]

Well I successfully made it through the work day. In fact, my boss let me go home about an hour early.

Now for the last minute packing and list checking.

Still trying to figure out how I'm going to get those Magical Express yellow/green luggage tags on our luggage without the girls getting wise to it.

Of course they can't read - but you don't have to read with a big Mickey Head on em'!

You know there is free laundry with DVC...

Yeah, but it is on the other side of the resort. This is a vacation you know.

Have a great trip. Maybe next time, we'll book resorts a little closer to each other.

If luggage tags are your biggest problem in life... I'd say you're doing ok!

Looking for a full report, particularly around the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.

We'll see about Sorcerers....with my young girls, I don't know if they'll have an interest. If it happens, it'll be on my solo trip at night after the girls are asleep!

 

[AirGoofy]

Some more pics from the trip thus far.

Shadow th dog greets visitors here. They will corral him on Sunday for kids to pet him.

Then, even better, Mickey greets you inside.

The scenery here at the resort is terrific. I like the nature and trees.

The man made views aren't bad either.

The beach was fun. Jelly fish are mating. But, these are only them small ones. They say they bigger ones with stingers come out later when it is warm.

That's it for now. I fell asleep pool side and got a little crispy. I'll be going to bed soon and try to catch up on some sleep.
