Neither is my Ipad for some reason! May have to try that stealth thing.

Good Morning All!

You guys were busy posting this weekend. Off to read the pages for a while. Sorry to all those from Indiana. Pats put up 59! and sailed to the victory. Looks like we may have a good chance to meet again is the playoffs though.

Pretty dumb move leaving Gronk in the game only to get hurt on an extra point. I hear he is out for a few weeks.

It was nice to get a big return those two years...but....we still were "in the hole" I woudl do it all again though!!! I hope the deductions gets renewed too. If not we can thank the guy in the White House for that!

Apparently over half of our country doesn't pay taxes...

Sorry, I'm pretty sure I just violated a Disboards rule.

I have written called our senators and reps. I told them I would remember how they voted at the next election if this doesn't go through

I'm pretty sure one of our senators doesn't care who you vote for next time.

So I will have some happy children come Christmas morning. Oh, and Dad got Assassin's Creed 3 and Madden. Hey - it's Christmas for me too!!

Congratulations on the purchase, and I'm glad you were able to remain civil while getting it.

Just wanted to say that I love the opening of Sunday Night Football!

Sometimes, it is even better than the game.

I have been mostly absent from the boards for a while now.

Sorry about everything you're having to deal with. That's a scary situation for the maintenance guys, but I'm glad they made it out in good shape. It could have been much worse.

Hey Andy (afwdwfan) and Ben (BenA81)!

Sorry I'm late. ​

I wasn't around this weekend anyway. I didn't know any different.

Mornin' All


Happy Birthday Andy and Ben!

Happy Birthday Andy and Ben !!

Also Happy 8th Birthday to my DD Amelia!


Hope everyone had a good weekend, might try to go through the 10+ pages tonight after dinner when I get a chance. We had a decent weekend away, although it ended with a lot of "drama", you know, the type you wern't involved with, but you end up the one who has to deal with the fallout.

Hay Andy!!!

It appears that my subtle plans are not working quite as anticipated.
I suppose that means I’ll just have to wish you a…

Happy Nemesis Birthday!!!

(Enjoy it while you still can, Bwaaaahaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa…)

Happy birthday Andy and Ben! And Amelia! And whoever else has a birthday today!

Morning All,

Happy Birthday Andy, Ben and Amelia!

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!

It was a pretty lackluster day to be honest. My Birthday was on a Saturday, and as a salary employee, I essentially don't get paid for working Saturday's and therefore, I might put in a total of maybe 4 or 5 hours on a Saturday all year long, if I absolutely have to. Well, this turned out to be a Saturday that I had to. Happy Birthday to me! Actually, I just had to take some corn samples to be tested, but it is a 2 hour drive each way so it took care of my morning. I got home and took advantage of the nice weather and mowed the hillside and woods one last time so that the grass will be short and in good condition for sledding this winter. It also let me keep a close eye on my woods, which I like to do on opening weekend of shotgun season for deer. I've had to run off trespassers before, so I like to make it difficult for them to sneak in there. Finally got done at about 6 and DW took me to Buy Buy Baby to get a few stroller accessories and supplies for Disney and then we went and ate at Smokey Bones. Busy day, but a nice evening to top it off.

I'm just disappointed that Oregon and K-State let me down on my Birthday though.

Great game, were you there? Not too happy about Gronk breaking his forearm though...

 

[mm1971]

I am only about an hour or so away from playing epic Mickey 2 on the wii u, sorry that's not major news I'm just excited that the day I've been waiting for for 3 years is finally here, good morning fellow dads , I hope everyone is doing good, saw something about rifles and wives, never a good combo lol

Picked up the regular Wii Epic Mickey 2 for DD as a Christmas present. I'll either have to wait, find a way to "test" the game or come to your house to play.

 

[theduck619]

OK folks… I had a little bit of time to put together the stats from the last thread.
There have been a few interesting changes.

My nemesis is #1, that just makes my Monday

 

[mm1971]

Got up early and waited on line outside Target to make sure I got one. Our Wii stopped reading discs and couple of months ago so the kids (and Dad) were forced to get by only on digital downloads. Thank goodness the kids were patient and knew that Santa would get them the new Wii U. The least I could do to reward their patience was to wait on line to make sure I got one.

Well, what a zoo that turned out to be. Really brought out the worst in the people yelling at the store personnel and each other. I was on line with a few moms I know from the kids' school. We were absolutely disgusted with the behavior of some people. While most everyone marched relatively orderly when the store opened, one guy in the back ran ahead of everyone to get online first. He then ordered six units. Everyone thought other people in front of them were going to order multiples and they would be shut out. There was no store manager to keep order and chaos ensued.

I nicely took a worker aside and asked him if there were more in the back - I had a feeling there were. I was right. They had dozens of units. So while everyone was complaining, a few workers went in the back and brought out cases of them. Everyone who waited outside got everything they wanted and there was much rejoicing.

So I will have some happy children come Christmas morning. Oh, and Dad got Assassin's Creed 3 and Madden. Hey - it's Christmas for me too!!

We are getting PS3 instead of the new Wii, will use the old one. Got Assassin's Creed for me as well while shopping. DD still loves the old Wii, DS wanted to get the PS3 as there are exclusive games for that he wants to play. Have fun!

 

[mm1971]

Exactly. Ours would have to run off a large propane tank, because we have no natural gas connection. I've lost power for a week three times in the last year.

I may wait also. These guys have been jacking up the prices because they are in such demand around me. Friends have been getting quotes over $20,000.

I just bought a small portable that runs on gasoline. That should get me by until the spring when the prices will come down to a more reasonable level.

$20K. I'd wait as well. That sounds like someone is taking advantage of the situation. A smaller portable one is probable the best way go to save money. Only negative is you have to have the gas on hand and keep going out to fill it.

 

[mm1971]

700
post and counting, I know small compared to most but I will take it.

I recently passed the 700 mark and will happily send along congratulations! i had to make the run at the end of the last thread to get there.

 

[mm1971]

Good morning fellow dads 20 hour work week this week, don't think I have ever had one of those, well never mind I had a 16 hour work week last month to go to WDW looking forward to Thursday, not looking forward to tomorrow, DD has her first major dental work in the morning, she can't eat or drink anything till after midnight so the mornings going to be fun

Hope everyone is doing well

Good luck with DD and the dentist. Our Dentist put some sealer on the kids teeth and they redo every 3 years until age 16. At that point I guess they figure they are old enough to make good choices all around. We had one small cavity so far that took only a few minutes with no pain med to fix. Whatever the stuff is it works really well because the kids don't brush all that well or consistently. Always have to remind them.

Hey Andy (afwdwfan) and Ben (BenA81)!

Sorry I'm late. ​

Happy Birthday Guys and Amelia!

 

[Twin Dad]

Morning Gentlemen. Happy Birthday Andy and Ben.

Yesterday when I got home from work the wife had a honey do list waiting for me. At the bottom she said if I got it done and felt like it to go play 18. I tore through that list and got out to the course just in time.

Hey now. They are more than nine words.

That was 8.

Anyone here done away with a PC and gone strictly tablet?

Not yet. I need a PC to play Civilization V.

No I said I don't know how to do it.
And hey, if had a post count like norm, then I'd be post padding. Not that norm is. Or Brian.

Norm doesn't post pad. He lives here.

Pretty dumb move leaving Gronk in the game only to get hurt on an extra point. I hear he is out for a few weeks.

They said 4-6 weeks for it to fully heal. I heard on the sports shows this weekend that because you only have around 20-22 offensive guys dressed, most times the starters end up having to play even in lopsided games. I do agree with you that he probably should not have been in there. It is a freak thing though.

The good news is that Hernandez should be back for Thursday's game against the Jets so at least we have the receiving boost to help out.

 

[mm1971]

Morning guys.



Great game, were you there? Not too happy about Gronk breaking his forearm though...

Yes, it was good to see the defense finally get some breaks. They still scare me. I was not there yesterday due to having way too much to do with the holidays coming up. I actually traded the game a few weeks ago with a friend that has Celts season tickets. I got 2 tickets to 2 games from him so I can take DS as he loves hoops. Works out in my favor in the end. Also missing the turkey day game on Thursday as my DM would have me drawn and quartered if i blew of dinner to be at a game.

Not happy about Gronk either. At least he'll be back for the playoffs.

You should have decided to make this the time that you switch things up and start from the bottom of the list and work your way up.

I think someone would have to set up a computer program to send a post every 2.6 minutes automatically to catch him.

There's aways this new thread to start the chase!

Yeah, you can't really call it dumb when it's a special team formation. Aside from Brady they can't really focus on pulling guys to protect them, especially a 23 year old TE. Stuff happens.

Nice trade for the Celts tix. I went last Weds and watched them against the Jazz. They need some more time to get comfortable with all the new players, especially since Doc seems dead-set on resting Pierce and KG a ton...

Thurs. night's game is in NY... You'd have to blow off the whole day to get there for that one!
