Yikes. $800 stinks, but it is better than years of car payments.
Agreed. That's why I bought a Toyota after all.
They are worth all the hype. My kids like the orange, I am fond of the pineapple. Both are awesome. At times, in EPCOT, they have spiced Dole Whips.
I had one of the spiced ones during the Flower and Garden festival in March. Good stuff.
For eating a quinoa? That may be a yes. Better drink a beer soon.
The quinoa tasted just like you all would expect. No need for any of you to ever experiment with it. I did it for you. Avoid it at all costs. On the flip side, I had a gluten free meatloaf at '50s Prime Time and it was very good.
Dude, happy wife, happy life
Yup.
I think this more calls for an extraction team with beer, bacon, dole whips and a t-bone
I did get to have one and a half Dole Whips on this trip so it wasn't all bad. But other than that and one caprisun, I didn't cheat.
As someone that has had stomach issues, I can sympathize. Clean eating is the way to go, but deep down inside, you will always yearn for the "good stuff." Props for staying with it.
This is finally over on Monday. Can't wait.
Well, it is August! In Florida! Stay as cools you can and avoid heat stroke. Sure you are going to have a blast even with the heat.
I haven't spent time in Florida in the summer in about 25 yrs. Man, that was hot. Fortunately, Mon-Weds were quite a bit cooler.
Chris, you are killing me, first you are at DaWorld don't let the heat get to you man. I was for removing the man card and Chicago sports fan card away until I read you are doing this for health reasons - stick with it.
Now you're talking, that's the Chris I met
Ya know, when we did the tour together in March, I got sunburned even worse.
Really? No, seriously, really?
Yup. Remember how messed up I was during the half-marathon? That is still what I'm dealing with.
Another night of tennis. But, I stunk it up. Still a far way from consistency.
Last night, I made BLT sandwiches, sweated thru 2 shirts, and lost 2 pounds.
Tonight, DW made frozen ravioli, I sweated thru 2 shirts, and I gained 2 pounds.
I think DW is trying to kill me.
A quicker way to kill you would be to make you eat like I have been for the past few weeks. You'll want to kill yourself in no time.
Quick - tell me everything you guys know about coaching U8 recreational soccer.
DS's coach for the past 2 years wasn't able to continue this season. We signed DS up again, expecting to be assigned to another team. But nope, he was assigned to the same team, with about half of the kids that were on it last year and a handful of new players - and no coach. The first game is next Saturday and the organizing body is "working hard to find a coach." Which I'm pretty sure is just code for "waiting around until one of the parents with no soccer experience blinks and volunteers to coach." The problem here is that my soccer knowledge was entirely gained in the past 2 years by watching my son's games and practices and streaming a handful of World Cup games in Spanish. So I know how to shout "GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL" when someone scores, but that's about it.
I've been talking to the mom of one of the other players, and we're leaning toward volunteering, but only to ensure that another dad - one with some high school soccer experience, but waaaaaay to intense for 8 year olds - doesn't volunteer. We have no idea if he is even interested since he was only at about half of his son's games last year, but just the thought of him doing it has us worried.
I want to make sure the kids have a dependable coach, but on the other hand, I'm not sure what I can teach them besides "see that net over there? kick the ball into it." Am I crazy?
You can do it. There is probably a Youth Soccer Coaching for Dummies book out there somewhere. I just agreed to teach English to a bunch of immigrants/refugees with next to no preparation. If I can do that, you can coach soccer.
In case you haven't heard...
MoRockin, Off Kilter, Spirit of America Fife & Drum Corps and World Showcase Players are going away by the end of September. According to the Disney Parks blog they are being replaced by "a traditional Berber music and dance troupe in Morocco, a corps of dynamic flag-waving performers in Italy, a thrilling lumberjack-inspired show in Canada, and a Celtic folk music ensemble at the United Kingdom and more."
These have been around for a while and I am going to miss them. The guy carrying the flag for the fife and drum corps was there for ages. Flag waving in Italy? Like the reported closing of Maelstrom all will happen before my October trip. Sorry I am going to miss seeing their last performances.
I just read that this morning. Bummer. If I had known, I would have worked some of that in to the schedule this week. I never got to see the World Showcase Players.
Top O the Mornin Dads! Still irked about Drum & Fiife
Have appointment this afternoon to get the kidneys scanned and see the Doc to hopefully get the word that the surgery stuff has worked and no more procedures. Enjoy Labor Day Weekend, Labour Day for the Dads to the north.
Kidney stones suck. I remember when the doc told me that if you get one, you have a really good chance of getting another some day. Now whenever I feel any pain in my abdomen I worry that one is on the way. But at least with a kidney stone, you don't have to worry long. Once they start hurting, you're at DEFCON 5 in a matter of minutes.
