DIS Dads DDC XXIX: We’re Over 750 Dads, With A Disney Problem!

Getting it wrong is common enough that patients going in for surgery use a sharpie to write on themselves things like, "this is the knee", or some other indicator when a right-left or similar error might be involved. My wife just had surgery on her cervical spine to remove a herniated disc and whenever a nurse came in to do something she had to recite her name and birthdate to insure she was the right patient and was conscious of what was going on around her. Too many patients, not enough time, too easy for mistakes to occur. Don't imagine it will get any better with whats coming up.

Yep. When I got my shoulder fixed I wrote on my shoulder which one they needed to fix and which one to leave alone. I won't tell you what I wrote wrote when I went in for the ol' snippety-snip!

Sad that it has to come to that... but I c an see it.

Wait, your QB is the one in the thong...

Which QB was intercepted on their first pass of preseason.
Cutler.

Oh dear, is this going to turn into a football version of mine's bigger than yours?

So my father went in for a "ablation" on his heart yesterday.

Generally a pretty standard procedure where they go to the hart, and burn of some tissue to help stabilize an irregular heart.

Well the surgery itself went well. The only catch is.... ready for this.... they went into the RIGHT side of the heart, just to find out that the "atrial fibrillation" (irregular heart beat) was on the LEFT side!!!!

Ugggghhh,...

So he has to schedule a SECOND procedure, and apparently the left side is more complicated.

Dr. said this time he wants to do an MRI first, and a 3D scan.... he said he wants to go the "whole 9 years".... I asked him why the first time, he only went 7 yards? He didn't have a good answer...

Prayers where appropriate...

Anyone else have any similar situations?

Sorry to hear Brian - No one should have to go through stuff like that twice!

Yep Gone. Philharmagics have him.

Where's the tag fairy when you need them!

I don't know. I had said something in the past and Randall had said something about being tags and.... I don't know. I am guessing the tag fairies just don't want to tag me. Maybe they feel sorry for me...... Or something like that.

Chatty fantasy draft day.

Just the Southern boys bragging again.
?

That is just because there is so much to brag about.

Oh dear, is this going to turn into a football version of mine's bigger than yours?

It gets worse when SEC football gets mentioned. Or, what state the last two NCAA men's basketball championships are from. Really, we rank 45th or below in all indicators - health, education, economy - because we give all the tax money to the coaches - so what else is there to do.

Pick made. This is the part of the draft when homework pays off.

You do homework? It's not a $ league.

My homework last year got me Randall Cobb. .

I just try to take KY or Louisville players at this point in the draft. Indy players ranked higher on my list since i got to see a game there last year - thanks again David.

Oh man. You are only reinforcing my desire to move away from The Region. I only have to figure out how to convince DW to leave here. Somehow I think it will take a large lottery win and the relocation of all of her family too.

Absolutely. 9 more years until I can retire. Although, CJ offered to bathe me, so if I can get a food deal out of him, that more may be sooner.

So my father went in for a "ablation" on his heart yesterday.

Prayers where appropriate... ?

Prayers for your dad.

It just shows up at the table sweet. No spoon required.
up.

You know the expression. I know how to make it too.

:
But I did receive my first official notifications of payments now due for both our new parent and student loans.
So I have that going for me

DW's plan is For us to cash flow college for dds. My plan is to cash flow daily trips to WDW. We'll see who wins this battle. Nope, no need to wait.

Yeah, he stopped thinking for himself and learned to say, "yes dear" like the rest of us.
.

Yes, I still have to put up some resistance. I get to win one every now and then.

Yes we did get our first choice at the 7 month window, BLT deluxe studio. First time we are booking a studio on points as there will only be me, DW & DS on this trip (first one w/o DD). Have done 1 & 2 bedrooms in the past and only 1 time did we not get our first choice at 7 month window and that was for the week of Christmas and we were a little past the 7 month window.
:

I have a couple more weeks before I can try at the Beach Club.

I was on the drum line. The year we went to Disney I was playing the marimba.
.

Cool. I learned to read music and play the piano, but nothing cool like the drums.

first day back in the office since July 31st. Still looks the same except for the stuff that someone left on my desk.
.

Welcome back. Good thing the mean ole boss lets you go that long.

Yep, still in the same area.

So, dd (11) tried out for local dance company yesterday and did not make the cut. I know nothing about dance, but the company includes high school girls who are older, more experienced, and physically stronger than my dd is, so I can understand that. She was sad, but I used it as an opportunity to encourage her to practice and train harder for tryouts next year.

However, two other girls that did make the dance company included one older girl from a wealthy family and one with a parent as an attorney. The problem is that both girls are in high school, maybe 5.5 feet tall at the most, and about 250 pounds.

I have nothing against fat people, because I am fat people. And, while I know nothing about dance, I do know I have not seen a 250 pound dancer at WDW, AGT, or anywhere else. I just cannot imagine that either girl is a better performer than my own daughter.

I had to bite my tongue not to say that there are times in this world when it doesn't matter how good you are or how much effort you put into it, you're just gonna get screwed by people with their own agenda. It is not about talent or ability, but who you know or who your friends are. Thanks for reading.

Evenin’ all…

First off, Brian… Prayers for your dad.
Unfortunate, very unfortunate… May they get this corrected quickly.


Now then…
Of the various images that appeared on the last couple of pages…

I’m pretty sure that there weren’t any South’nrs involved in that particular exchange.

DW's plan is For us to cash flow college for dds. My plan is to cash flow daily trips to WDW. We'll see who wins this battle. Nope, no need to wait.

I’m pulling for your vision of the future.
Don’t see it happening, but I’m pulling for ya’

Yep, still in the same area.

I’ll keep that in mind if I find myself traveling up that direction.
Again, welcome to the club.
