DIS Dads DDC XXXI: Nice to have Friends Around the Globe, Even Tim! Happy Holidays!

[Wherem I Now]

Skins lost again..... It was so close tho 1 point sad face.

. But at least they'll get a better first round draft pick. Oh, wait... no, they won't.

 

[Maroonag1]

That's my cowboys. They managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

That makes sense to me. I have a Laptop and an iPad that is shared between the 2 of us one day I hope to have 2, 1 for each of us. That is a bummer they dont have an iTunes like program for the windows phones... Zunes used to have a program wonder why they didnt use something like that.

I dont completely understand DVC do you own at a place or just get the points?

They had Zune, and isn't nearly as good as iTunes. But, I think Windows is getting rid of it. The Windows Phone works just like plugging in any device, except no software to download.

As for DVC, we have a DisDad DVC thread in our sub-forum with more info and not the hate filled stuff from other threads. You are just buying points into a network, however, the restrictions are where it is complicated. You purchase points at your home resort, which you get to book at 11 months out. At 7 months out, you can book other DVC resorts. DVC peak time periods are different than the parks, other than Easter and Christmas which are all busy. Thus, if you want a specific resort at a certain time of year, it makes a difference.

There are UYs, holding points, walking reservations, direct vs resale restrictions, and a few others.

Yeah, dogsleds ain't cheap.

When they turned off our blackberry at work I switched to Windows Phone. I got the Nokia Lumia and really like it. No iTunes but the Nokia music app is good, and I can sync it up with my Xbox.
.

I got the Lumia. I like it.

Nomination for dysfunctional family of the year award.

MIL faked chest pains and called DW to take her to hospital ER. She wouldn't call the son she gave $20,000 to earlier. DW found out that MIL also went to Dr. earlier this week who told her nothing was wrong with her. ER sent her home - nothing wrong, no Meds, no follow-up appointment.

If we trade off certain families from each us, we could create a super family. I wonder what that'd look like?

Going to try to catch a bit of sleep now, as those on the FB know, it's literally just a matter of time now. Dad's lungs can no longer get the required oxygen needed to go on. Was called out to the hospital today around 3 to hurry over. Things suddenly turned around. At one point we wern't sure he'd hang on for my younger brother to make it, but he did and there was a very surreal family moment as Dad said his peace with us all. He has admitted that he's ready to give up the fight, he's done what he could. Back to cracking jokes too, telling stories and giving us instructions what to do. He got down some tea and orange juice. He is at peace with this all. Funniest thing though, is that the blood/oxygen rate etc. has been stable since, but he's pretty much on 100% oxygen now, and drinking liquids are not affecting him like before.

Around 9 or so, my brother and I left the bedside vigil, Dad does not want to break down in front of everyone, and as much as he wants us around, and as much as we want every last minute with him, it's not helping him by us sitting around waiting for the inevitable. My brother and I checked on the house for Mom and and sat there for a bit and cried. Just checked in with my sister, he's still hanging on, but sleeping a lot, and wants it over with now. He's made his peace with everyone.

Right now I'm fairly calm all things considered. I've been a mess a good chunk of the night, but right now I'm back in check. Going to try to sleep a little, the next few days are going to be rough. My brother and I agreed to do what we can to keep it Christmas for the kids. Dad agrees with us, we need to "look after his girls".

Thank you to everyone for helping with the thoughts and prayers, and I know DW is my rock right now, but your support has/is been wonderful. May God bless you, everyone.


Love you Dad...

24 - 20 Booo-Yahhh!

Congrats CJ. Must be fun to get that excited over a regular season game. I can't really remember those days, but I'm sure we did the same thing.

It's been that way since Spygate for you guys right?? No Superbowls

. But at least they'll get a better first round draft pick. Oh, wait... no, they won't.

Yes they will. Mr. Cousins will look great in Vikings purple or whatever Jacksonvilles colors are

My wife liked the Zune program, but she has slowly been switching to iTunes. I gave her my old 3GS and she uses it as a iTouch and I think when she gets to upgrade her current phone she will jump past me and get a 5 or 5c.... my money is on the 5 though.

I should go and check it out because we have talked about it but it seems like it would cost alot. Maybe I should go to the forum and not clog here to ask questions. To me at the moment it just seems really confusing.
