DIS Dads DDC XXVIII: Stormin’ The Castle Since 2007!

[Twin Dad]

Okay...


In other news, my knee surgery was just over a week ago and it went well. Saw the doc for the follow-up yesterday, and he told me they found a second tear in addition to the large tear they knew about. Both were cleaned up and the little pain I am feeling is normal. In another 4 to 6 weeks, I should be able to resume running.

So, that means it is time to officially register. Up until now, I'd been planning on running the full marathon. 2 things have changed... first, my knee surgery means I want to take it slow with training and not push myself. Second, with the change in the race schedule, we are trying to re-configure our reservation from Thursday-Monday to Wednesday-Sunday... do I really want to run a full marathon on Sunday and then have to leave on a plane later that day???

So I am leaning toward the half marathon instead now.

Glad the surgery went well.

A “Thrawn in the box”…
Certainly cooler then a “Charlie in the box”.

That it is. I have him hid just in case DS decides to start opening boxes.

Thanks Brent! Looks like POR has a higher discount than a lot of others. We are already booked there, maybe it makes sense to keep it there. I'll run the numbers today. I think Aaron said it is being announced on Thursday. Any idea if we can book now using the visa?

I think you can being the visa holder, as a Canadian, I need not apply heh

It's always an exciting time. I agree with Brent. Call early and often. It was booked and on a later call Brent got an early ressie and then I called and got his at 9PM. Still a let ressie, but nothing has opened. Once FD is officaly for Sept 2, I'll start calling again. I figure there will be some cancellations on our dates since I know people were booking with expectations.

DS favorite ride. They make stretching racks and HGH.

Have you checked back at all? I'm going to start calling for a better time.

I looked recently for our times, nothing open....

Some people just think money can buy anything.. when will they realize some things just cant be bought.

Okay...

thanks for the birthday wishes guys!! I'm happy to be involved on the new thread. I've been busy so I haven't been on the DIS much lately.

Work has been busy but we're now approaching a really hectic part of the year. SIL is getting married this summer, which has added to the craziness. That makes my wife MoH and there are showers and craziness all over the place. All while we're trying to get ready for our WDW trip.

And it seems the decision on what color Team Sparrow will wear has been given to me. While it appears the choice has been made for me, with DoleWhip grabbing the gold, and Beverly claiming black... I think you all forget that team Sparrow is Pirates... we have no uniform. We "Take what we can, and give nothing back!" We'll wear whatever color we want!

Team Sparrow won't be known by the color of their shirts, but by the quantity of their rum! (and by how many wenches they get slapped by)

Glad to hear the surgery went well. I was supposed to have done that years ago, but skipped it for a variety of reasons. In hindsight.... bad move.

Someone is very excited...came across my tape measure so I had Audrey stand up straight and took a measure. 45" ! Officially she hit the magic 44" marker meaning she'll be good to go on a lot of rides she missed out on. She was jumping for joy!

Congrats to Audrey. Graduating to the big girl rides.

You mean they let them engage in semi-violent activity---wow! Always good to have eyes on the six. Tell her to come on down to Achmed Alley at FLETC...we'll let her shoot the real thing and maybe blow some stuff up....

It is right before finals week so I guess they figured to let them take out their aggression on each other rather than the professors. Don't tempt her with going to FLETC and blowing things up, she would take you up on it. She has a dual major, psychology and criminal justice.

Got to tip the hat to my hometown Bulls. First winning game 7 on the road agains the Nets and now stealing one from the Heat with half their roster on the bench. Still don't think they have a chance against the Heat but gotta love the heart they are playing with.

Have to give it to the Bulls and Noah (go Gators). Doubt that James will have 2 points in a half. Or that James, Wade and Bosch will duplicate their lowest scoring total in a half since they started playing together. It did make this round interesting.

Stayed up to watch GS/SA. Glad I did. Didn't mean to watch it but when I checked back right before going to bed, it started to get fun.

Ah... now I get Fed's paintball comment from FB! Now to figure out the "shiv".

Glad the surgery went well.

The shiv comes from Team Barry/Team Tim Half Marathon Challenge. Since I was the General Manager to Team Barry (the winner by the way), DD was my surrogate in the marathon. It got nasty when Carl ran over Barry in a golf cart. Paul (Team Tim) and DD were running the full and in retaliation, she was going to shiv Paul. One of the many monickers she is burdened with here on the board. Her full name would be Crash, the Shiv Carrying, Pirate Princess Pirate. Hence your Princess Pirate carrying a shiv and watching out when she starts driving references.

Of all those monikers, “The Shiv” would make for the best mobster nickname.
So shes already got that going for her.

Wow, what a movie that would make!

You assembled a heck of team. Nice job.

Oh well, here it is, see if you get the connection.

Dang...
I was just about to respond to Justin’s request for a hot tub when the Mods finally went and closed the thread.


So I guess I’ll just post it here….

Great.... Getting strike info as we speak...stress levels rising

Think you might be able to find anything in the shop that’ll help clam your nerves a might?


Sorry ‘bout that one….
Seriously, I hope that they work things out before it has to come to that.

I looked recently for our times, nothing open....

Ran the numbers, over and over. We originally booked the dining plan and tickets. Called and rebooked POR pool view room with the 25% discount. Skipped the MP and Tix as we have non expired ones from last year we can use. With the discount and no meal plan we saved a lot of $$. The only negative is that we will need to cancel a few of the sit downs without the meal plan. We'll wing it and see what we can get into while there. If not, it's CS for us.

Thanks Brent and Aaron! Without the heads up, may have missed the RO discount.

Well done on the close.

The thing with this is at least half of us said OK and started to leave the office.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Being as I’m making every effort available to keep from actually working…


Here are the stats from XXVII
Y’all enjoy!

That Stinks! Fingers crossed and prayers that it's just talk and it gets worked out. Isle 3, shelf 4. Must be something to help the nerves around there somewhere.

If you want to move to the US and work in tech support, our Apps Engineer resigned today. Just started getting everything back to a normal level. Next task. Post job online.

Woo-Hoo! Ahead of CJ! Take that nemie.

Congrats on the last word and post count Randall. Fitting that you should lead in both on the penguin thread. Oh, and congrats Paul.....The penguins are gone.
