DIS Dads DDC XXV: It’s a Special Holiday Episode of the DISDad’s Club

[AirGoofy]

Looks like somebody needs to lay off the egg nog...

Do you mix egg nog with bourbon or rum?

Tim when do you arrive in Orlando. If you have the the chance go to the expo early and get the kinisio tape guys to tape you up. It forms a sort of exo-tendon which can suport your legs. Their booth stays pretty crowded (its usually about an hour wait or longer to get taped so check in there then go walk the expo floor) I think they'll do one area for free but if you buy a roll of tape from them (about $10) they'll tape more. You might also find compression tights or compression calf sleeves or compression socks help too.

That is hard core. If I was not sick, this would have inspired to be to start exercising.

Team Tim is the physical manifestation of one the core truths of running. "Sometimes Running Sucks". Tim has dealt with adversity and kept going. Running a half marathon is mental and dealing with injury and pain has made Tim stronger. That should help him during the race. Also I'm running with a group of 8 or so (some of whom are run/walkers) I might see if they can get in formation around Barry anytime they are going to start a walk interval.

Better plan. Attack Barry.

True story. DW taught the kids how to text today. Youngest dd just texted this message while pooping in the bathroom.

"Mom do not yell at me. I am just seeing if I am good at texting. Sorry."

That's first page material right there

It is the quote of the year in my household. DW beat me to posting it on FB.

Good morning everyone. Finally got the final piece to the tree. Our tree topper arrived yesterday.

Tink is now our new star!

 

[mm1971]

Good Morning...

Looks like it's going to be a White Christmas in Canada.

Nice They are saying we could have some snow on Christmas, but it's pretty bare right now.

 

[declansdad]

Great looking tree Jim.

You have great taste on tree toppers! Ours looks very similar.

 

[mm1971]

High winds hit here last night, so it's gotten colder. Forcast calls for "snow showers" tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.

YEah, accepting the gift is a real no-no, conflict of intrest, blah blah blah. She snuck it to me ,and I thought it was just a Tim Horton's card, not a Visa one ! Fun when gift giving turns into a covert stealth operation.



So you could be hoping for Duff and end up with Fudd?

Or just about anything else that is being tested. They had a peach tasting thing a while ago that was like drinking the water from a flower vase. Don't think that one got released.

The whole gift card/gift thing can get crazy. We get letters from our business contacts every year that provide the policies on if things are allowed and if so, what is OK or not. I certainly understand how someone with low morals could easily be swayed by gifts. I however have very high morals like the rest of the disDads so it could never be an issue. We regularly take customers to sports games and things like that.

No basketball today, DS still recovering.

So I think I will have another coffee, listen to some Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas music and see what else is going on out on the Internet.

 

[mm1971]

Well, nothing definite. We know we only have budgeted the two weeks. Like Jim said, I really like having the two seperate trips planned, but I also probably will never have the chance again to have a week's vacation at WDW followed by a cruise.

Then, the other two issue are that we booked Spring Break during Eastr week. We knew to expect really big crowds, but were still worried about. Then, there is th actual Fall Break week. If we keep th cruise, I'll still have to take that week off work to stay home with the dds. Then we are back to that opportunity thing again.

Sounds like you need to finally hit the lottery and retire. That would solve all of the issues right there.

I am still a little jealous that you have this decision to make by the way. Still looking at trying to go August 2013. If not, already have the plans for 2014. If August is a no go, I may be having some serious withdrawals

 

[mm1971]

Thanks, so far it's dead, one guy here and he's annoying the Beverly out of me.
Edit: guy keeps asking if he can steal stuff, what a stupid thief

Are y'all canceling the cruise?
Edit: didn't read your last post, I say a trip to DL during fall sounds like an awesome plan

Yeah, there are winners everywhere. As for cruise, still not sure. We now have potentially three weeks of vacation and can only afford two. Neither of those trips had airfare budgeted for four people.

Airfare? Take 2 weeks off and lampoon vacation it out to Wally World

Philip, you should have kept asking him if you could have him arrested every time he asked if he could steal. What a tool.

Yes, Griswold your way to vacation. Save money on the flights and write a trip report so we can laugh along with you. Or write a screenplay based on your trip and make a movie. Of course you'll need to stop at cousin Philips on the way for some "real tomato ketchup". HAHAHAHa!

 

[mm1971]

If you watch the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and looking forward to the Macco Bowl Las Vegas should you ask for an intervention?

In my defense it was an interesting game between E. Carolina and UL Lafayette.

Yes, you need an intervention. I'll send the guys with the white jackets.

Not until we get the still set up in the front yard

Hey Andy... your friend is now pontificating on the success of restaurants in the WS. It is on the Addition to Morocco thread on the theme parks board.

Should we all just follow him wherever he goes and irritate until he stops posting?

 

[declansdad]

Well he doesn't respond to questions so I'm not sure if it would work.

 

[mm1971]

Good morning fellow dads, hope all is well, I hate this internal alarm clock, it's rare when I can sleep past when I normally have to get up for work. Working at my brothers shop again later, had 3 customers yesterday and then 4 hours of no one so prob be watching movies and skimming the boards again today lol

I still need to get those Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh cards out to you. I'll try to do it this week while I have some time off. Have fun at the shop!

 

[mm1971]

Great looking tree Jim.

Hey Darcy, When you posted yours, DD went crazy and insisted we have one. Thanks again for the idea. We found this one on Amazon and it will now be there every year, or at least until DD moves out and takes it with her. Have a great Christmas!

 

[mm1971]

Hope he feels better soon. I know DS and I it took 3-4 days to feel back to normal after getting sick last week.

No problem, glad I could help you spend some money are Christmas. Do her wings change colour?

 

[mm1971]

Yes, they do! White, Green, Yellow, Blue and Red. She actually runs off a small battery pack that takes two double A batteries so no plugging in.

Spending money at Christmas time has never been a problem. Wife is out boosting the economy as we speak. Taking the kids bowling for a while and then to mom's for lasagna. Plans to make another Yule log for a Christmas Eve party later today. Everyone have a good day.

Jim, is she battery powered?

Darcy, we have one like your too! Her wings only change color when she drinks!

Same as our Tink.

DW is about to go out and help the economy but it is at the grocery store. We have cut back on what we spend at Christmas by booking cruises and WDW trips and calling them Christmas gifts.

Cut back?
