DIS Dads DDC XXIV - What Bacon Shortage? We're Full Of It!

[mm1971]

Let's see if I can catch up a bit here:

The Tooth Fairy pays one gold $1 coin per tooth here in Kansas. (And if any of ya'll who pay $3-$5/tooth spill that where DD or DS can hear it at the DISDads Convention, I'll be sending ya'll the bill!).

We're contemplating DVC as well. We have some things we need to take care of to get our financial house in better order around here first. But DVC is near the top of the list of "next things" to consider. I get weekly Emails about secondary market DVC contracts every Friday. And every Friday I text DW about the deal that I'm looking at and trying not to weep over. Last week's had a 500 point AKL contract at $62/point. I have a good friend who I was really tempted to call and suggest that we buy it together, splitting the points (little-known fact - you can buy a DVC contract with non-relatives, and everyone who has an ownership stake is entitled to the DVC benefits, like DVC owner discounts, TiW, etc.). That's plenty of points for each of our families to travel every year, and/or with banking and borrowing to do more. But the kidney market was down a bit last week, and without a ready market, I didn't have the liquidity to make the move just yet.

That sounds about right.

Good morning all. Half day of work and then our company pitch in dinner starts at noon. We have a pretty diverse group so we will have dishes from Croatia, China, Thailand, Germany and Guatemala. We have all of the traditional stuff as well. Management is making 8 turkeys (2 fried, 2 BBQ, 2 Trad. 2 smoked) and they serve all the employees first. My stomach is eager with anticipation!

MMMMM... Sounds like a good spread. Remember to send leftovers to all the dads.

Morning Guys

Is it time to go home yet?

Yes......yes it is. Had on home and enjoy the long weekend. Hopefully all of the dads have Friday off.

To all the americans out there... have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

And let's all have a moment of silence tonight at 11:00 pm, in memory of last years DDC thread.

Whooops... that should actually be tomorrow night at 11:00 pm.

Your time is definitely off. I don't know what time the mods hit the delete key on that thread, but we left the house at around 11:30 and when I checked in just before we left, it was still there.

 

[mm1971]

Um.....Norm can have him.

They'll all be at CJ's soon so just head on down to Miami. Paul is retiring from the accounting profession and can begin his new career in the medical profession. He'll need to practice on someone.

Morning gents. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

Accually the Evil 13 died on the 24th in the morning.

Is that the thread that shall not be named?

Could someone fill us newbies in on what you old timers are talking about please?

Last Thanksgiving some DisBoard rules were broken. Alcohol may have been involved. Complaints were filed. Mods banned some people temporarily. Feelings were hurt. Grievances were forgiven. And we don't talk about it.

Basically, that ^. It was Thanksgiving night and we were in the middle of one of our thread closures and some of the pictures being posted apparently weren't deemed to be appropriate. It was also the driving factor behind the boards being added at the other place.

It is the DisDad's Evil Incorporated thread XIII.0 in Rob's stat spreadsheet. If only we'd known how appropriate that thread name was at the time...

 

[Urugami]

Sounds like fun...
Too bad the thread couldn't have been dumped into the other place rather than the bit bucket

We need to somehow commemorate that!

Morning Guys

You guys open Black Friday?

Please be open...

 

[twokids0204]

Scott and Norm could take care of you!

I'd probably be better left for dead...

Likely the same thing.

 

[twokids0204]

Um.....Norm can have him.

Wow... Scott, after everything I did for you.

Actually, just the other day I stood up for you. 2 DiISDad's were talking, and said ya know Scott smells.
And I came to your defense...
I said "Like sh!t"

 

[twokids0204]

Good Morning Gentlemen...Oh and you also Randall

Mornin' Carl...

"A bit nutty"

That’s how we felt back in October when y’all were celebrating Thanksgiving.
But come on down any way. If you show up, I’ll share some of our good fortune with you.

I just may show up... What would you like me to bring?

Wait a minute, you control the Universe…
I figured you could either delay the illness until you get back home or just wave your hand and fix our busted system

While that is true... I try not to abuse my given talents, and prefer to live as a mere mortal.

I like the idea of being on par with the rest of you fine folk...

Big day in the history of the DISDad's.
