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

[that's nice]

Oh, and by the way...

Nice job messing with the trolls. Don't you guys know it isn't safe out there?

I'm going to pay for your ticket to get to Disney and you are going to run for me.

Ok, apparently I actually can be motivated to run by something other than being chased by a bear...

Oh, and by the way...

I know... That's what I get for trying to answer a question honestly.

Watching the season finale of Canada's Worst Driver. These people are scary!

Do they draw a name out of a hat to pick the winner? No one in Canada can drive!

It always sucks when the lead dog doesn't listen to the "driver".

This may be the first and last time someone compares my Disney intelligence to Robo. I'm truly honored.

Considering that source, I would think that they also would equate dole whips to Beverley.

Funny story I learned this past summer. Budweiser, no matter where it is brewed, in the US or in Canada, has to be submitted to the Head Office in the US for quality control to make sure it tastes the same no matter where it comes from.

So you're saying that the brewing process for Budweiser is not to just distill the ingredients to pure H2O?

I guess you learn something new everyday... and on that time for bed.

Prayers for those in need, praise for those deserving, Bacon for All.

Hey dads. I'll try to post from the Wonder but it may not happen. So:
Happy Christmas to all
Prosperous New Year to all


From Sean and Grace (DD)

Merry Christmas to you!

The debate has started.

With an opportunity to take a 13 day Disney vacation (5 being a cruise), we have some options.

We are currently scheduled for Spring Break at BWV and cruise in Oct, with one night before cruise starts at BLT.

Since we only budgeted enough for two weeks, we can keep that plan, or cancel the BWV Spring Break week and do a 1 BR before the cruise. Then, the choices from there are BC (never been - but one less night), OKW (biggest), or AK (2 bathrooms).

BC

David,

Checked the mail late today and the bracelet was waiting for me. Kim did a great job (I know you didn't do it, it looks too good). Will post a picture of it on the Pirate Princess Pirate's wrist after Christmas. Thank Kim for me.

I will tell her, and thanks again!! Look forward to hearing how she likes it.

Oh, and by the way...

Nice job messing with the trolls. Don't you guys know it isn't safe out there?

We have to have that mentality of no dad left behind

Good morning all

Got some pretty busy spurts today, but still not that "crazy busy" crowd yet. I think the rain tonight has hurt it a little. Really think the White Christmas ain't gonna happen here. Pretty wiped now, running around all day +lack of sleep hurts. Get through the day on adrenaline, but when I get home and stop, I hit the wall. Wow, have I hit it.

Not too bad, I git my secret Santa Gift, a $25 gift card for Cineplex, meaning it'll cover my seeing the Hobbit. Also (secretly, since it is a big no-no) a trade rep I work well and help out gave me a $50 Visa gift card. Pretty sweet.

At least I can chill out tonight. DW is going to see Twilight tonight. But at least I don't have to go! Just me and the girls.

I got a $200 Amex gift card from one of our suppliers. He is a friend and has done it every year. No chance of moving the business so no conflict. I usually use it in golf in the spring.

No white Christmas here either. The high wind last night took out a lot of the outside decorations so we'll be setting everything back up today.

 

[mm1971]

I'm about to get in a fight with a troll on the theme park strategies board. Maybe I should just put the phone down for a while.

What's going on?

Test track thread?

Unleash the DISDad's on him... he won't know what hit him.

Yes, apparently my opinion is factually incorrect...

Dad's... to the the THEME PARK BOARDS!

I hope you straightened them out! Sorry I missed the fun last night.

 

[mm1971]

Its my wife?????????

Well, the Mayan apocalypse must have struck what we refer to as our school leadership. They set next Year's fall break the week before our cruise. This was the first time they moved it off Columbus Day. And, the chickens posted it at the end of the day today and then took off as to not answer the phone complaints. It will be our oldest's first year in her new middle school, but they can just eat it when we take a two week vacation next year.

They also moved Spring Break back a week later, which will probably put us into a higher point weekend. Stupid school board.

Seems to me they were reading the boards and knew exactly what they were doing. Making it hard for you. Our schedule never changes, but we decided not to pull DS from middle school so it's vacation weeks only for us. Good luck with the schools. He is honor roll so I'm not sure it would matter much if we did pull him.

Looks like time for some down home, Kentucky home schooling may be in order. Or have you already taught her how to make moonshine.

 

[mm1971]

Norm's taught me everything I know about sending things through the mail...

As long as they don't shake it.

I'm pretty sure that means don't bother because Stitch always seems to be stealing the mail.

Have a Great Trip! Merry Christmas to you as well and a safe and happy new Year!

Tough decision. I think I would keep the two vacations. It's nice to get away more than once a year. Good luck deciding.

You get the American formula, but to save $$, Labatt brews it up here too. It's close, but unless they ship water in from where Rolling Rock is made, won't quite be right..I still buy it now and then, but it's not quite the same.

Funny story I learned this past summer. Budweiser, no matter where it is brewed, in the US or in Canada, has to be submitted to the Head Office in the US for quality control to make sure it tastes the same no matter where it comes from.



No Sierra Nevada yet, although I keep hearing rumblings that they are working on it.

I have a good friend that just moved back to St. Louis working for Budweiser. They are really strict about everything. They have a lot of really cool new beers coming out soon. I'll see if I can get some names from him, but we had a tasting and they were all called mixture #?? as they were not approved and only in test phases. Those are fun parties

 

[moose615]

Good morning fellow dads, hope all is well. I start my weekend of working for my brother at the shop so DD will be with the grandparents, they did say they might stop in for a few later

 

[mm1971]

Good morning Dads! Finally caught up again. No sports this weekend due to school vacation. Have a tourney later in the week. Everyone have a good day!

 

[AirGoofy]

So you're saying that the brewing process for Budweiser is not to just distill the ingredients to pure H2O?
All.

It is good when the weather is hot outside and there isn't anything else available.

She said we could cancel the cruise and just stay with our normal two vacations.

Seems to me they were reading the boards and knew exactly what they were doing. Making it hard for you. Our schedule never changes, but we decided not to pull DS from middle school so it's vacation weeks only for us. Good luck with the schools. He is honor roll so I'm not sure it would matter much if we did pull him.
:

We've thought about home schooling but need the income. A for school, both of them make the A & B Honor roll, so I'm not worried there. We had decided not to pull them out for any of their school days as well.

Good morning fellow dads, hope all is well. I start my weekend of working for my brother at the shop so DD will be with the grandparents, they did say they might stop in for a few later

Have a good day at work.

 

[afwdwfan]

DD decided she didn't want to sleep like normal last night and the temp is 17 degrees. Makes it hard to get up and moving on a day like this. Good morning.

 

[afwdwfan]

We don't have to worry about the Grinch or Dr Doofenschmirtz this year!

 

[twokids0204]

Good Morning...

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