DIS Dads DDC XXX: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike, What Day Is It Mike?

Blankets and cuddling, no furnace needed.

My wife and I were going to go down next year, just the two of us, to celebrate our 40th birthdays. And then baby happened...

Maybe you should have turned on the furnace.

Stop saying that until after the deal is finalized!! I don't need you hurting Ray's reputation while I'm trying to sell him. He was my keeper RB after all.

I've also been eyeing your roster....

My roster is open to movement. I haven't looked and set the roster this week yet. I'll see what you have that may be of interest when I can get logged on.

That is what we got last March but that was after the cruise on the Dream. It was how we got DW's parents interested in seeing more. I then took her Dad to EPCOT for F&G later in the Month when I went down to get him. It was that day that he decided he should see all 4 parks now that he had seen 2.

I think we also have a day or so planned for the other place on that trip. DW and I have never been and DS has only been for a day.

The "other place" was OK for us. Not a lot of rides the kids would do, maybe it would be different now that they are older. I think we may take a side trip in August for a day. It's just so expensive for one day.

Its not December 1st. Wimps.

Good Morning guys! Enjoy "half time" today.

I can't be the only one who likes the Christmas stuff out am I?

We start early, I will likely start getting all the tubs down from the garage lofts and shelves this weekend, 70+ containers. We used to always start the Friday after Thanksgiving but we have so much stuff and are a bit older that we start earlier. We will not turn on the outside decorations not light the indoor trees until the weekend after Thanksgiving but the wife will likely start inside next week. No joke here, every room gets decorated except our bedroom, almost all decorations / knickknacks are replaced by Christmas, 6 full size trees decorated including a 10 footer in our bonus / family room and a 100% Disney tree. Also have 4 different Department 56 villages - dickens, north pole, Christmas Story and of course Mickey's Christmas Village

Actually opened up some new village pieces and ornaments a couple of weeks ago with holiday tunes playing so I guess we have already started.

You know, I thought about making that joke, and then figured, "Nah, that's pushing it..."

Evening guys, been busy last couple of days, been overhauling the beer section (again), grabbing anything quality/craft beer I can get my hands on. Also gettting space prepped up for (ready for it, ready...)

Christmas Gift Packs
Our first shipment arrives next Monday night. Some decent beers coming our way, including the malty, strong ales I have a weakness for. Just in time for cold weather.

Leafs looked good tonight, will have to put some effort into rubbing it in on an Oilers fan/buddy

Woo-hoo!.....Oh, you mean that you are putting the gift packs on the shelf, not that you are sending them to us. Well in that case.

I REALLY think any disdad that works in liqouur (added an extra u for ya!) should be required to send christmas gift pack to us all for inspection and taste tests.

Top of the morning guys. Presentation went well. I like to show how the parts we make impact peoples everyday lives. On the plus side I finished every one in under 25 minutes

I'm sure the participants appreciated the quick delivery. Nice work!

That's the bad part. I, personally, enjoy it.

It is just the fact that it isn't so kid friendly and so darn expensive that it is a little more difficult to justify a day there.

You know, I thought about making that joke, and then figured, "Nah, that's pushing it..."

And that's why we have Barry.

He may not post as often as he used to, but he sure makes the most of his opportunities.

I can't be the only one who likes the Christmas stuff out am I?

I have listened to Christmas music on and off since about June (might have been earlier). And that is for 2 reasons. 1 - I like it. 2 - It drives my coworker nuts and keeps most people out of my office. So it stays nice and quiet.

I will start putting out the Christmas decorations next week while taking down the Halloween decorations. We do not light them up until after Thanksgiving, but I prefer to do most of the work before it gets too cold. It's like the Griswald's. Thanksgiving night, we all stand in the yard and turn on the remote. Of course this is always followed by the Mrs. telling where to move everything the next few days.

We have won the neighborhood light contest two years in a row. We have new neighbors that may be competition judging by the size of their Halloween displays. We already have plans to hit the stores Thanksgiving weekend to get some new stuff. I'll send pics when we get it done.

June is definitely a little early for us. We love Christmas, but I may be ready to hang myself with a tinsel noose if we were starting 6 months early.

I'm in the same boat. No idea when we'll get back there. My wife and I were going to go down next year, just the two of us, to celebrate our 40th birthdays. And then baby happened...

Well that would do it to all of us for sure.

I like to enjoy the Christmas decorations, but I wait until the day after Thanksgiving before I put anything up. That feels like the start of the season to me.

Now see, I hate putting up decorations. The music i can listen to at any point and i enjoy seeing others' decorations. I just don't like doing them myself. Infact threw out some more decorations this summer. Less for me to have to put up........ that is until the wife decides we need more or sees something we just have to have in the yard.

I thought about it yesterday, but couldn't figure a tactful way to say it. You posted that line this morning, and I thought "Nailed It."

And that's why we have Barry.

He may not post as often as he used to, but he sure makes the most of his opportunities.

Kind of like Nate's crop duster. I fly in, spread my excellence, and fly back out before anyone knows what hit them.

....and then, Barry happened.

The Tag Fairy needs to be alerted to this.

Now i would like to see all of that. Don'e want any part of setting it up though.

I am with you about putting them up early when it is still warm. But as usual something else will be put in front of it (usually scouts) and plus my procrastination to decorate and i will end up out the in late November trying to get posts into the frozen tundra.

Been on here for almost 3 years and have so fare eluded the tag fairy. Either that or i haven't said anything worth anyones time.

At least now I know I can bill Darcy for the diapers.

As long as it's not under a blanket.

Warm wife = Happy wife.

Happy wife = Happy Life.

Math don't lie.

If it's a penny for your thoughts, why do you have to put your 2 cents in?

Either Math lies, or someone is making a huge profit.

Maybe it is because in some cases an opinion is valuable and it is worth a penny to hear it.

Other opinions might be worth so little that one has to pay double that to get anyone to even listen.





You can decide where this lesson fits on that scale.

You can bill me but that doesn't really mean I will pay.

 

[twokids0204]

I think the difference is SEEING it out, versus PUTTING it out... Especially in Retail.

Sure it's nice have the festive spirit around, but not when you are responsible for creating that festive spirit.

Penny for your thoughts is an invitation to give an opinion. I rarely wait to be asked for my opinion before I just start giving it.

And if he does, it will probably be in that funny Canadian Monopoly money.

I'll use Canadian Tire Money.
