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

[RodBelding]

Afternoon Guys,

I hope you are all having a great Saturday before Christmas.

A good and bad one here. DS has been playing in a basketball tournament and they won the bronze medal. They had two games where they didn't play up to their potential but they were paying up a level from what they have been playing so that was nice to see. They had a shot at first if they had one their last game but missing 16 easy layups makes it hard to win.

The bad was a call from my Mother to say an uncle was being moved to palliative care and he wasn't expected to last the day. It wasn't unexpected as he has been sick for a while now but I do worry about my own Dad. I know it will bother him as he will be the16 brothers and sisters left. I'm sure my uncle will be in a better place so we can take solace in that.

Take care all.

Prayers Darcy.

 

[that's nice]

At my last wedding of the year, Cocktail hour in a different room and I'm standing here with my hand on my butt.

We were prepped for bad but unfortunately received worse. She is going to likely need a meniscus transplant but before she can have this she needs what's called a High Tibial Osteotomy.

She's been through a lot but from what I can gather from your posts, she seems like a really strong girl. Sending positive thoughts for a quick (as fast as safely possible) recovery. :good vibes

Sweet pics!!!! Glad to have you here!

Well, my job is low paying, soul-sucking, and terribly unfulfilling. The benefits are nice.

I might want to get out of the DJing business…. they hiring?

While it isn't a knee, i had a work accident at UPS where my forearm became another elbow. 20 years later, i still have plates & screws holding my arm together. There is hope.

Look at the bright side- You can stick your arm into a closing elevator door to hold it for someone and it won't hurt you a bit!

DO NOT GET THE DOG!

Good advice… I've been fighting off the same request for a few years. So far I've been successful holding my ground.

An early morning wake up call from dd's cell phone. Someone called her at 8:00 AM.

New rule- keep the phone on vibrate or lose it for the day.

A good and bad one here...

Great news about your son, sorry to hear about your Uncle.

Yes, but only one of them includes a ball gag.

Two words, Family Forum. Funny though. Do Sconies have to go to Illinois to buy ball gags?

Good morning Randall. Another stormy morning here, hope things are good in the Charm City.

Same here Darcy, rain all day.

Everyone stay safe up there especially if you are traveling over Christmas. I know you are going to throw snowballs at me but it is expected to reach 85 today. This is the one week out of the year that I hope for colder weather. Tougher to get into the Christmas mood. Really miss living in NYC Thanksgiving to New Year.

Have a great day everyone and again, stay safe.

Thanks Brent, I hope things are getting better for you and your family as well.

Today is the first big test, it's the Visitations today. Now not so sure about attendance, we just got hit with an ice storm overnight things are horrible all over. Sounds like Brian has no power, my half-brother Scott's neighbor's tree fell and took out his brand new deck.

All you dads, stay safe!! Ugly, ugly weather, I don't like this one bit, it's dangerous, especially with all the travel involved for the holidays.

Last but of fun is my right hand, really stiffened up and pain. I guess going gloveless in the storm wasn't a smart thing to do last night. Arthritis is reaaly bad. Yikes the pain!

Will me some strength today guys...
