Today is DW's birthday. She got her favorite present - a day without the kids! They've been unloaded on to a friend for the next few hours and then they go to Grandma's house until tomorrow. She's :cloud9:right now. We'll go out for dinner and a movie for the rarely seen "date night".

My kids are funny. They think cash is the best present you can ever give a person. All in all, my wife got $5.40 from kids.
 
OK, so I met the kid that wants to take my child to the prom. Would like to say I hate him but he really is a nice kid. A bit goofy but who wasn't at 18. I could also tell the Pirate Princess Pirate is the one in charge. Signed up for the Air Force Reserves to pay for his education. All in all a nice kid. It went pretty well and there were no baseball bats involved. Even gave them my tickets to the game on Sunday.

Yup, sounds like you laid down the law. :rotfl2:

In all seriousness, I hope he remains a good kid.

Ryder has been napping on my chest for the last hour or so, so i've been catching up on the Dis while i relax on the couch. These baby vacations are pretty awesome!
Had the little guy at the doc Tuesday for his checkup. He said all of the trauma from his rocky start to life is behind him and he is a perfectly healthy little boy.

:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

Glad to hear it!

Excellent work! That is a great present. Today is also my son's birthday, but he got a Lego set, a baseball glove and a Star Wars action figure instead of time alone. Priorities...

He also wants to have his birthday dinner at McDonald's. :crazy2: I don't think he cares about the food so much as the Happy Meal toy.

And your kids are right. Cash is a wonderful gift. Don't spend it all in one place! :rotfl2:
 
Why Hello There! :wave2:

So our trip to Florida without stopping in WDW is complete. We hung out with DWs grandfather in Bradenton from Friday to yesterday. We went to eat in St. Petersburg, we were beach bums on Holmes Beach 2 days, met up with DWs cousin for 2 days, drove to Cape Coral for a day to see DWs friend who just had a baby, ate at Jose's Real Cuban Food- seen on Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives, and took more trips to Wal-Mart to last me the rest of this year. WHEW. I'm tired. I need a vacation.

My DIS time has been non-existant due to getting ready for this trip, work, & kids. Every time I have a free minute and I try to DIS, this site doesnt work. Oh well, I hope everyone has been well! :thumbsup2
 

Then shows me that Barbie's leg came off..:headache::rotfl2: She knows how to cover the bases

I can't remember what medicine it was for but when we lived in Canada there was a commercial where a kid walks in the room with a bear that had stuffing sticking out and says "Mommy, teddy is hurt"

I always said my reaction would have been "OH MY GOD!!!! HIS GUTS ARE HANGING OUT!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!" and start making retching noises like I was going to throw up.

Just my luck, DS is so good with his toys that we have Happy Meal toys from 4 years ago that still look new. He never breaks anything.

:lmao::thumbsup2

<ANNOUNCEMENT> DD16 got her license today. :eek:

And in other matters, I think my grey hair is multiplying faster now...

So, you going with the BMW or the Mustang?:banana:

I always loved the hangin on the couch with baby time. When DS was born I changed my bedtime to 8:00 and then anything that happened from 1:00 to 6:00 was all mine so DW could get some sleep. DS had acid reflux so the only way he could sleep was laying on my chest, so pretty much every night from 1:00 to 6:00 I got to hang on the couch and watch all the stuff I DVR'd. To this day I blame the majority of his issues on the Girls Gone Wild Infomercials:confused3
 
Crud.

Beverly.

Peanut butter.

I'm alright, DS is alright and all the kids and the bus driver are all right, but below is the result of a school bus running a stop sign. I took to the ditch to keep from hitting him sqare on the side, so my truck took most of the damage, but it wasn't a hard hit, no airbags deployed and nobody was injured.

Glad you and DS are OK Andy! It sounds like it could of been much worse. Time to SUE and get some money to come to the DDC convention. :lmao:

I don't want to sue anybody, accidents happen. I just want my truck. That thing had less than 4000 mi on it. :headache:

I wasn't too upset when it happened, we were all ok, and I was able to keep calm, but now I'm starting to get p!$$#d. :lmao: :rotfl2:

That's the crummy part. It looks like the damage was all in the quarter panel and the door. Hopefully there is no damage to the axel or to the engine.

Have a beer and relax....

(i'm sure that is easier said than done) :rolleyes:

Frame and engine seem to be fine. Wheel has a chip out of it and it is sitting at an angle. Spindle and upper control arm are definitely bent, probably more damage than that to the suspension. It was a handful driving it home at 35 mph.

Glad no one was injured!

I'm sure that will buff right out?:mad:
 
Andy, that stinks. Glad no one was hurt though.

Barry, we ate at a restaurant and there was no scene like in the Godfather. The kid is a nice kid and she can handle him. Thought it would be a good gesture because he is buying the prom tickets. Saves me $75. May take in a game this weekend anyway.

Call her in the middle of the game and tell her they were on TV and you'd like to see a bit more space between them.:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Welcome back. Sounds like a great time. Can't wait for the trip report. Oh wait, forgot who I am talking to. Post some pics at least will you?

As long as they do not show up on the kiss camera shot, I'm good. I think I am going to steal your suggestion. Would be funny.
 
Congratulations to her!

I'm sure she would say Thank You!

Good luck to the both of you. Mine had two accidents in less then three months after getting her license. So I think I have filled the Dis Dad quota. And don't start me on the cost of insurance.

Oh No! Glad to hear everyone was OK though. Condolences on your truck...

Yes, it was 5 1/2, and yes, there is video.

I hope that there will be video of the DisDads Beverly drinking challenge in January! :rolleyes1

Oh, that sucks! I'm sorry, Andy. Hope the insurance company takes care of you and isn't too much of a pain to deal with. I'm glad everyone is ok.

My kids are funny. They think cash is the best present you can ever give a person. All in all, my wife got $5.40 from kids.

Good deal for the wife. Have a great date night Chris. Don't spend the whole $5.40 in one place.

I didn't know there was a video. Good going, Barry. I couldn't quite make out which button you were pushing though. :confused3

OK, you are both nuts. I tried Bev once and never again. Of course anytime I take DD anywhere near Club Cool, I talk her into trying Beverly.

Come on, it isn't that bad

Just noticed that she is wearing a pirate Mickey ears. Guess it was an omen. Both for the eye and her college choice.
 
The $1 is for the pay area, the public forum is free.

A complete bargain if you ask me! :thumbsup2

I saw that picture before I saw that it was you who posted it. I thought, "hmm, that's something Paul would post." How about that! I was right!

:rotfl2: AT least I'm predictable! :rotfl:

Ouch. Glad everyone is ok, that's the important thing. But that sucks, sorry you had to bear the brunt of someone else's poor driving. :sad2:

Will compete with any of you in a drinking game - not a drinking Beverly game.

Glad your not posting for bail money.

A vacation from a vacation. A great idea.

Insurance can fix the truck but not people. Glad to hear you all are ok. Sorry about the truck.
