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

[Goofy + 3]

Wow, sorry to hear that your DW is dating the town urologist....

I'm just surprised that with the kids and the house that she even has time to date.

 

[Goofy + 3]

In the course of winning 11 AFC east championships in the last 13 years we've lost to a lot of mediocre teams. Won more than we lost though.

The really weird thing is that I don't know how you managed to lose the east twice in those 13 years.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

If DW gets pregnant there's a urologist in town who's going to have an awful lot of explaining to do.

Sometimes I wonder too but I get more entertainment value out of the $100-200 per year that I spend on it than anything else I do. DW wonders the same thing as she thinks I'm always angry about it but I'm truly not. I just like to yell at the TV a lot.

Um...yeah, me too.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or just offer you a drink and tell you that everything will be alright (if you continue to drink).

It'll be fine. It's all part of the experience.

Well, one of the years Brady got hurt on play 1 of the season. I was at that game. It was not fun. We still finished 11-5 and missed the playoffs with Cassell at QB. 11-5! Jets won a tie breaker in the division and others won the tie breakers outside the division. The other was at the start of the Dynasty. Hey, gotta start somewhere.

Hey CJ, how many times have the dolphins won 11 games in a season since……………forever?

Sorry to hear Darcy. Thoughts and prayers to you and the family

I'm sorry to hear that, Darcy. Prayers for you and your family.

Sorry to hear of his passing Darcy. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks for the well wishes. UPDATE: FIL has a pretty good sized stone in his Bile duct. They are going to operate today at 5PM. Basically using an endoscope to go through the mouth and will break it into pieces and then remove it. The surgeons that are available are not able to remove the gall bladder for some reason and he will need to go back and have that done after the holidays. Hopefully at least the immediate problem will be solved and he will be feeling better. Looks like no good food for him this year as fatty foods can be a problem.

Of course a couple of year ago, DW uncle had a similar procedure and the surgeon nicked his pancreas. After that it was 6 months of pain and eventually her uncle passed away. Not a good situation. That was in a Florida hospital. We are counting on the Boston doctors being a little more proficient at their job, but FIL is pretty nervous thinking about it.

Thanks Guys, it is much appreciated.

Hopefully everything will be fine for your FIL. My brother has a stone in his bile duct; from what he tells me it was very painful.

So I drive down to the World last Saturday and get there just in time to go to bed and get an early start at the parks the next day. My wife calls (she was flying in two days later) and says something I never thought I'd hear. "I think we should buy annual passes". Long story short, I'm the proud new owner of a) annual passes for the whole family and b) the bigest credit card bill of my life. In the long run it will save me money since I'll be there in August and at least one other trip in 2014 since DW suggested we go there without kids for my 40th. Who is this woman? So the DVC fund actually has a negative balance now. Oh well- DVC probably was never going to happen anyway.

Great news, Chris! Come join us for DDCC 2, you don't have to run or nutt'n!

 

[declansdad]

I had forgotten that my Secret Santa has sent me an anonymous message saying there would be two parts to my gift. The second arrived today.

Thanks again, it is a great gift.

 

[Goofy + 3]

Great news, Chris! Come join us for DDCC 2, you don't have to run or nutt'n!

I'd like to, but I need to tend to my job. It will take me a few weeks to fix all the things that went wrong while I was gone.

 

[wasnotafan]

I hope you Dad gets some relief soon Jim, terrible way to spend Christmas.

Thanks for the prayers. I am saddened to say he passed yesterday morning.

Condolences and prayers

The urologist that I visited a few years back has added a value-added piece to his practice. He now offers a service very much like the Hairclub for Men.

Was never a big Dolphins fan till they got my boy Tannehill. Of course 7 sacks and no TD's hurts the fantasy score.

 

[theduck619]

The girls haven't stopped playing with the nerf guns yet, score one for dad. I found The Office on Netflix , so I have decided to watch the last three seasons this week

 

[that's nice]

Wow.. you guys are talkative today. I can see a lot of work was done today.

We braved the mall today and it was totally insane. Luckily we are all done and just have to get ready for all the family coming over tomorrow. If I don't get a chance to pop back in here just wanted to wish everyone and your families a Merry Christmas.

 

[cj9200]

Sure you didn't. POST PADDER!

Of the band wagon already? Go mediocre!

OK. First, my boss didn't even know I wasn't here last Friday so that certainly is not the problem. We actually booked a vacation to the Dominican in February and I have to be at a work conference. However, the conference is in the state of FL and if I am able to get away for a few hours, I will make an appearance.

Always on the Dolphin Bandwagon. Unlike the Marlins, their owner is willing to spend money. The front office sucks and usually makes bonehead moves. And come on, admit it, you could have come down but wimped out. Dominica sounds nice but you could do both. My Brit friend is trying to talk me into a Belize trip in 2015. It may happen.

Hope the surgery goes well for your FIL. Having spent a Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year in the hospital, I know how it sucks to be there. Keep us updated.

Congratulations!

My DW and I were planning an adults-only trip to WDW in 2014 to celebrate our 40th birthdays as well. Then she got pregnant. So...be careful.

I heard it was triplets.

In the course of winning 11 AFC east championships in the last 13 years we've lost to a lot of mediocre teams. Won more than we lost though.

Yes you have. It pains me to admit it but yes you have.

And we're back to being friends! I am in! Nothing like a bloody after 13.1!

Not really, but the kid likes you even if she has a uncontrollable need to shiv you. Are you taking the run seriously or not? She is thinking of wearing a costume for the half and taking a camera for pictures. I just bought a Go Pro and she might wear it for the race.

And yes, Jim that is unacceptable.

Yes Jim, that is unacceptable.

Agreed. Prayers and thoughts to all the dads going through this crap. Let's turn the corner.

It is just ahead, lets go guys and reach it.

Your plan is perfect CJ. I think you should wait at the finish line and whichever dad(s) get there first get to enjoy the cocktails. If there's any left for the stragglers, great.

Alright, Bloody Marys for the half. I will be at bag check F-? before the race and somewhere near the finish line afterward. Open to all comers until the cheetah finishes and we head back to Boardwalk to spend time with her Aunt. Never mind, take your time.

If DW gets pregnant there's a urologist in town who's going to have an awful lot of explaining to do.

So many places to go here but I will refrain.

Didn't do the Bills much good.

At least my brother was happy. And since he lives in Buffalo, he doesn't have much to be happy about.

Hey CJ, how many times have the dolphins won 11 games in a season since……………forever?

How many times did the Pats go undefeated? Granted it was back in the days where they wore leather helmets but they did do it.

Was never a big Dolphins fan till they got my boy Tannehill. Of course 7 sacks and no TD's hurts the fantasy score.

The offensive line sucks even before the "bullying" incident and lost two starters.

The girls haven't stopped playing with the nerf guns yet, score one for dad. I found The Office on Netflix , so I have decided to watch the last three seasons this week

Post Christmas, I am going to get a couple of nerf guns, sounds like fun.

Good move and thanks for the idea. DW spent over $500 on presents for the dds. But, i'm in charge of the stockings. So, I bought them some candy and a nerf gun each. DW is on board with my plan. As they find their guns, we will pull my nerf guns out from behind the couch and start blasting them. Shooting your children on Christmas morning - a new family tradition. And no, we won't have safety glasses.

We braved the mall today and it was totally insane. Luckily we are all done and just have to get ready for all the family coming over tomorrow. If I don't get a chance to pop back in here just wanted to wish everyone and your families a Merry Christmas.

It was crazy. Cheesecake Factory is in the mall in Louisville. The interstate was fine, but the traffic to get there'd was terrible. They even had police out directing traffic at the entrance.

All my KY pro teams have been undefeated the last 13 years. So there.

You know, there are so many ways to interpret that one. Does the urologist make house calls? Wacka Wacka.

Hopefully everything will be fine for your FIL. My brother has a stone in his bile duct; from what he tells me it was very painful.

Prayers for your brother.

Prayers for your brother.

Sorry, that should have been HAD a stone not HAS.

:
Nice. Two days (actually about a day and a half) for me. Just had a company lunch, pizza and some wine that someone ordered to bring home. Of course he made he mistake of having it delivered to the office. 4 of the 6 bottles will not be making it home.

Drinking at the office. Always a great idea.

I have a hard time playing FF for money. I've had too many seasons end in week 1 on an ACL injury to my best player.

I Never play for money. Not for religious reasons, but because i budget all extra cash for Disney vacations.

OK. First, my boss didn't even know I wasn't here last Friday so that certainly is not the problem. We actually booked a vacation to the Dominican in February and I have to be at a work conference.

You are still spelling Disney wrong. It is Disney, not Dominican. . Prayers for FIL.

Multiple trips next year vs 30 years of DVC vacations? A bird in the hand. Congrats on the AP.

I know it may sound bad to talk about summer vaca with the news we got on DD's knee but just finished booking summer at WDW / BCV July 20 - 26. We were going to do Aulani but with looking at surgery / 8 week on crutches & parts being out of network that was out. DD made it clear that she better get some type if DIS vaca (pool and/or beach) this summer after surgery targeted for first week in May. So got DVC points - check, got SW flight points - check so only cost is a couple of days of park tix and food & lots less than Aulani. Se we discussed and Beach Club for more of a relaxing week with only a couple of days at parks at a slow pace. Scheduled for 10 weeks after planned surgery so we may still have to push her around parks but that is why I have DS ]

Good news on the trip. And, I can't imagine a better way to recover. Then .....

Great idea. The pool at BCV will be useful for Aquatic therapy on the knee. Plus, she gets to be pushed around in a chair. Something for her (and the rest of the family) to look forward to.
.

..... Does that make the trip tax deductible for medical expenses? Rehab?

 

[AirGoofy]

Any day that involves a meal at the Cheesecake Factory is a good day.

Yes it was. Factory Burger and Red Velvet Cheesecake.

It was 50/50. I started 5 guys yesterday who were draft picks or keepers (Drew Brees, Demariyus Thomas, Antonio Brown, Steven Hauschka, and the Seahawks defense) and 5 waiver-wire pickups (Zac Stacy, Rashad Jennings, Keenan Allen, Alshon Jeffery, Julius Thomas). The waiver wire really helped me build a monster receiving corps this year.

I think Antonio Brown may have been one of my throw aways from last season, or maybe that was from another league. And, in non-fantasy league news, looks like Romo is giving the reason he will lose next week's Cowboys game.

Saw your earlier post and we will finally have a trip that overlaps. We can ponder the Why did I questions over adult beverages. First two are on me. ESPN Club or Belle Vue Lounge?
.

Well, it depends on the time and the day. I've never been to the Belle Vue Lounge, but if there is a good game on, ESPN sounds good as well. Let's narrow it down more once the parks/ MNSSHP schedule is released.
