DIS Dads DDC XXVI: They all went to the DDCC and all we got was this Lousy Thread!

[mm1971]

Wow... these threads move rather fast. Guess I should spend more time here and less doing work so I can stay current

Welcome!

Now your starting to get the right idea. I have both my work computer and laptop ready at all times. And besides, who wants to work for 8 hours straight.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Haha! I have the same problem. Well, not the going to Disney one. We have been looking for the camera battery charger at my house for a week and it seems to have got up and walked away.

Have a great time with DD and wish her luck in the race for me. Hopefully she beats you by about 3 days.

Not quite the same problem, but having issues with spare batteries/extra chargers for DW's and my cameras. Ordered them early Dec, still nothing. I've gotten in contact with the company, and they figure they got lost in transit, so they are at least re-sending them, but I'll feel better when they are in my hands. I want to be prepared for later, I go through a lot of pics when I am there.

I learned this yesterday!

Nah, I'm busy enough as it is...we got a couple of staff who spend time on their iphones rather then work, drives me bonkers. Someone's gotta be productive there.

Asides from all the joking, I take my conduct on the floor pretty seriously, I like to look professional, it goes a long way .

Like a good Dis dad should.

Just ships overnight. I'm not sure I can get a time. Is there a day that's better next week. I assume overnight means before like noon or something, but I'll have to check. I can ship pretty much any day next week I think as the catch has been very good and the weather out here is AWESOME! right now so no worries about not going out. I'll see if I can get an answer on timing.

if you can give me after a time, then that will work. My schedule is flexible, but need to go into office for a bit.

Lack of access at work is what keeps me out of the top 5.

I too have lack of access, but a smartphone and lots of downtime.

Now you got it.

Anyway, I was looking at their website yesterday and they listed out the conference dates and locations for the next 5 years or so. This same weekend in 2016 will be Orlando, FL. Might I actually be able to essentially get my family to a future DDCC for very little out of pocket expense???

I keep looking for one of those as well. Do you have to show up for the conference for it to be deductible?

People have mentioned most of the options we really like. Columbia harbor house is a favorite as well as tomorrowland terrace( when it's open). I'm also really exited to try the fried chicken and waffle sandwich at sleepy hollow and the pork shank at gaston's.
. We're 12 hours away from there now.

Not a fan of chicken and waffle sandwich. I didn't like the sauce.

 

[mm1971]

Are there any guys here besides me and Tim that are heading down to WDW this weekend? I think we're the last ones.

Nope. Stuck at work.

Can you mention it a few more time today? Just in case I start to feel happy later.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Looks like Randall has been busy. I'm an idiot so forgive this question, but who is Terry Hawkins?

SmilingGrump...see him more on FB then here...

 

[mm1971]

A small scanner-computer that can only affect the store's network, no net access on it. I can look up limited product info, real-time inventory, use it to prep lists, recieve orders, and make signage, but after that, nothing.

Cell phone? Maybe you could suggest using an Ipad for inventory. There has to be a way.

 

[mm1971]

Now that would be funny. I don't get sick per say, I just get cramps. Although maybe running with cramps will take my mind off of the pain I'm going to be feeling in my legs.

They have medication for that. I have some pretty strong perks and Codine if you need it!

 

[moose615]

Congrats to him and the team!

Try using Halls while you are in there. Usually keeps the chlorine from building up. DD swims twice a week. Just an FYI, there is a special shampoo to wash the chlorine out of DD's hair. I'll ask the wife what it is and let you know.

Thanks, I think out of anything, DD has done she will enjoy this the most esp once she gets the fundamentals down, I'm trying to get a feel for how much she enjoys it cuz I can't afford this and all her daycare activities but she told me this morning she enjoys that more then the phonics and cooking class at daycare

Whatever you do, make sure you get something delicious from your local Big Y or IGA store! It keeps me employed! I only say this because I see you are from Massachusetts and it couldn't hurt!

Hmmm...I am getting a smartphone next month...I do have downtime on my lunchhour where I get restless...mayb I'll start taking my breaks too...

I'm not sure I have seen a Big Y or IGA around us. I'll try to find them in my area. We live in a small town that is basically 10-15 minutes minimum from everything and anything. We are about 30 miles north of Boston.

I am stuck at work and the fish are biting....

I'm literally staring at two boats on the St. John's River, right out side my office window.

In the past 20 minutes I have seen them land two bass, both well over 5 pounds....


.....and here I sit....being tortured....

Much better view than mine. All I have out my window is a big pile of snow from the plows. I'm 6'2" and can barely see over the top.

I'm pretty sure this is known by now but some friends were at MK last week (I know peak) but they said if you want to see enchanted tales with belle go as soon as it opens because there were 1 hr and half -2 hours waits for it, so they didn't get a chance to see it, early bird gets to dance with belle

Hey Norm. Just sent you a PM. I couldn't tell if it went through or not. Let me know if you get it.

Ha! Staring at a parking lot full of cars. I like your view better as well.

Hey Fed, do you get up to MA in the summer? If your in the area, we can do some Striped Bass and Blue Fishing next summer. I have a 17 foot Polar center console that's awesome for fishing.

Turn around and look the other way.

I'm trying either this summer or next to get up to Lake Winnipisaukee (Spelling???) in NH for some Smallie Chasing....I might can make a side trip!

But my computer is this direction But, gee, thanks

Yuk it up.
