Nope, not bitter.

sorry mark. i just never rooted for anyone who played in vet. just the spectrum. i will be going to an iron pigs game in april. briana is dancing at the game. i hope fellow yankee fans dont see me. i guess the philly fans are crying already? no chase this year?

This sum's it all up...

i like his hat!!

STANDING Ovation!!!!

Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger homerun in your life!

Still brings a tear to my eye...

Did I ever tell you guys, I had tickets to that game!

and you didnt go because............ i would have gave my left one to be there!!!! but i do have to say, going to work the day after that game had to be one the greatest days in 20 years that ive been in the office.

I can't Wait! I will have my first Dole Whip in June! I can't believe I have been to WDW numerous times and have never had a Dole Whip!

Nice! You'll be upset at what you were missing out on!

You are 100% correct.... I didn't go because.....

And here's the because.

I had tickets for Games 1, 6, and 7 of that series.

I went to Game 1.

They then traveled to Philly, and returned for Game 6 up 3-2.

I couldn't really afford all the tix I bought (but bought them anyways). So I decide to do the responsible thing, and only go to 1 more game (either 6 or 7). And I KNEW that if I went to 6 and they lost, there's NO WAY I'd be able to give up game 7.

So I gave up game 6, with the intent of heading to Game 7 if it went that far.

Little did I know, it would end as one of the biggest home runs of all time.

I did sell the tickets for double face value (which end up paying for me to see game 1).

Oh, and I sold the game 7 tix for a cool $5 over face value as well.
I went down to the Skydome for the refund of the unplayed game, and while I was there a guy asked me if I would sell him the unused ticket as a souveneir. I was there for the refund so took his cash instead...

100% true story.

What time are you going? We have a Disney store 25 minutes from us. I have to take Christopher with me (my son, not a DDC Christopher) so I have no idea what time I should be going.

Our mall opens at 10... I'm going to try to get there 15 minutes early and hope for the best.

So the scoutmaster wants to talk to me about my "role in the troop". This is the guy who repeatedly ignored the bullying despite my highlighting it to him. Finally started to shape up after I threatened to the council to dissociate our feeder Pack with that troop. Should be an interesting phone call...

I do not like "interesting" hope it is productive.

Hello DisDads! Wow...I have not been here in a while and got lost trying to find this thread! Anyway, it is good to be back and it feels really good to have a WDW trip coming up soon!

Hey!

Hey guys!!
I have not been around lately, but thought I would drop in and say hey.

So...Hey!!

Welcome back!

Ooooh! Score!

So since I'm bringing my son, I should get two pairs of ears right? I hope so, that way I can give one to DD.

...So here it is, post 1000[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

Wow, hard to believe it took this long to get to this point but here I am. Hopefully the 2nd 1000 will come a bit quicker.

I went back and tried to find my first post on the DISDad thread. It’s kind of funny to look back at certain periods of our threads and see how relationships developed, the things that people are going through, and the events that have become almost like placeholders in our timeline. I became a member at the same point that Nate was officially christened as Corn Fuzz.

A lot of guys have come along since I joined, and a lot have lost touch, but the core group that welcomed me is mostly still here. It’s kind of comforting that among the complete anonymous nature of the internet we have gone out of our ways to open ourselves up and share our lives with each other as we wait for our next trips to come up. This is more than a discussion group; it’s more like a brotherhood. When one of us hurts, it pains us all, and in the same way when someone shares some good news, we all feel a bit better.


Thanks for being there for me guys, maybe over the next thousand posts I’ll actually run into a few of you. To those of you who have reached out to me outside the boards, a special thank you, your advice/concern/support means more to me than you will ever know. <----Yes it's a thumb!

Congratulations on the 1K!

Says 1st 250 Guests, I would think you would both be considered a guest

Next you will say you don't like pirates, ninjas or bacon.
