That wouldn't be so bad. After all, there's no Dole Whip machine on the Fantasy, so I wouldn't have to buy you one. :laughing:

For the last few years, the kids have had off of school on a Thursday and Friday at the end of October. We're gambling that those days fall in this trip next year.

I missed this in my severe lack of posting. Barry, I am going to be on the Magic with DD December 22, 2013. I fully intend to con my way into the kids club so I too can be a Marvel Avenger. Bottom line - I am 5'8" so I should be able to pull off the kid thing. If not, I'm taking over the ship.

Ok! :thumbsup2 Recovery from what? Everything ok?



Sorry about that... :confused3



Welcome!



Morning, David! :surfweb: Morning, all!

Going to brag a bit about DS#1. For context, there's a dad I know through scouting who's son was diagnosed with a fairly aggressive neck and chest sarcoma about a year ago. I've gotten to know them well in the hospital and have done 4 merit badges with him during his hospitalization. All my kids play Minecraft with him on-line (for a long time he couldn't speak because of the location of the tumor, so texting online was much easier). Anyway, yesterday was a very bad day for this boy. He was starting a very hard round of chemo that would make him pretty sick. So he was getting admitted yesterday and was pretty upset. He asked if DS#1 would mind coming to visit him. So even though it was a school night, DS#1 agreed to go. He couldn't have been more awesome. Completely unphased about the chemo starting, the IVs, monitors, etc. They just hung out and talked and played Minecraft for a couple of hours while the mom and I went for coffee and ice cream. Very proud of the young man he's becoming. And on the way home got to teach him about Catholicy things like corporeal works of mercy too (which apparently they don't teach anymore in CCD? Who knew!). Definitely count your blessings today, guys!

:thumbsup2:thumbsup2
See if I tell you when the next rocket launch is at the Cape.

Or where it's aimed... :wave2:

"Oh, Beverly...it's peanut butter-ing coming right at my Irish Hoosier..."

<boom>

Since when can someone from Michigan hit a target :confused3

Well, you know how it is... just another one of those ND football/IU basketball fans. :faint: :crazy2: :stir: :rolleyes1

My team my suck, but I'm staying loyal dammit!!! :thumbsup2 :rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:

For the record, my heart as always belonged to ND, but my wallet loved the tuition at IU and it beat out my heart.

Yes, and I expect a full report on how wonderful - sorry, Magical - the ship is.

Good luck on your mutiny!
 

Thanks, guys, for all the kind words!


Total hip replacement Thursday.

Prayers for quick recovery, Randall! Glad I popped back over before I started seeing the post-op pics on FB! I'll be sending positive thoughts your way
 
That's what the San Diego Chargers said when they picked Ryan Leaf :lmao:

Is he still available? Maybe he can help my team. I'm just hoping not to start multiple backups next year.

He seems to have common sense. He says he wouldn't have fired Rob Ryan and hired Monte Kiffin.

Good thing they didn't fire their head coach and have him coach a new team to 9-1.
 
Evening guys...when I popped on this evening couldn't believe I was that far behindin days/pages. Way too busy for my own good.

Work has been a Beverly. Head Office has chosen now as we get into the busy season to do minor renovations to the warehouse so it;s been a mad scramble to empty it, in particular I need my beer storage area empty. Told after ordering a boatload of stuff. Very tempted to call in the DisDad "Extraction Team" although knowing the idiots at Head Office they'd want it returned afterwards. :rotfl2: For some reason our management has no plan in place so it's chaos. I do not thrive in chaos so have came up with my own gameplan.

Just gotta tell myself by the end of next week it shouldbe back to normal.


Was out late tonight, went out for dinner for Amelia's Bday today can't believe she's 9!


...for membership in the DISdads club!:scared:

Okay, guys, Dave here. A little about me.

122. Real men don't use Mickey pancake forms. I make mine freehand! Well, okay, the first few come out a tad mutated, but eventually they resemble The Mouse. It's fun eating my mistakes!

2. DW refers to me as an adolescent at times. Does that qualify me as "just a big kid?"

I'm still trying to get up to speed on Disney culture, but as far as the in's and out's of trip planning, DW and DD know that I'm their go-to guy.

I'm a bit of a space buff, so if there's a launch at the Cape, I'll be happy to pass along any information to you...gotta do something on those non-park days!

Fan of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, St. Gerard Falcons, and Lansing Catholic HS Cougars. Husband of Judy, father of Megan (DD 6, almost 7, my only child and Disney Princess...guess that makes me the king!).

Not fishing for accolades (or sympathy), but I'm also the 53-year-old father of the aforementioned Disney Princess. Interesting, being old enough to be the father of some of the parents of my daughter's classmates.

So, esteemed DISdads, am I worthy of your company?

Welcome!! DW's family is in Sarnia so we pop over the bridge into Michigan (usually just Port Huron) when we visit.

An interesting little doo-dad that the DW traded for at a flea market.

Sweet find

I like DW's kindle for reading books. Otherwise, iPad is way better.

I still prefer old fashioned books
 
They are not allowed to bring them to school in there grades...

I think it'll be more youtube and candy crush for them.

The girl's school encourages it. Part of Amelia's homework was to work on her blog. :scared: They had an offer for a cheap tablet to use at school but the teacher was pretty sure it;s not worth it.
 
Good morning everyone. I have to say it is pretty crazy because my 7 month old will never know a life with out tablets/smart phones. When I can remember a life with dial up and cassettes. The tablets are in schools now..... I mean aircrew on my base were issued iPads it's just crazy how technology takes over.
 
Morning guys!

Trying to post more in here, been slacking on all the boards the last few months. Just too busy at work and at home. Another busy day at work, then go home to continue the fast paced running from place to place trying to get it all done.

Morning everyone. Day off today. Would appriciate a few prayers going Dad's way, off to the Hospital to see if he might have pneumonia, been feeling unwell. The new chemo they put him on makes him feel like beverly too.

Typical Dad though, annoyed that this might prevent him from his weekly coffee session with his fellow retired firefighters.

Not me. My printer broke a couple weeks ago and I don't think I will replace it. All digital. The only thing I print is my tax returns.

Yup. School here still teaches printing and grades for it. Soon, it will all be digital - until the zombie apocalypse.

Dial up... man I miss that sound. :rotfl2::rotfl::lmao: We've come so far from the days where you click a page, go to the kitchen and get a snack, come back and still wait a couple of minutes for it to finish loading. :rotfl2:

And forget dial up... I still remember when we first got computers in school. I was in second grade, and Oregon Trail was the greatest thing ever invented.

Prayers for your Dad. Seems I've been hearing of a lot of people with pneumonia the past few weeks.
 
Either great minds think alike....
:confused3
OR we are both to cheap for iPads for the little brats!
::yes:: ::yes::

Ah dial up...I had to call long distance to my first ISP. :scared:
