DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[londontime]

Afternoon, mes amis, from another sweltering day in the mother country. I am feeling particularly English today. I may have a scone later, with some clotted cream and jam. And not brush my teeth later or something. Maybe build a car with a bad electrical system. Pillage a third world country. The options are endless. Plenty of football on the gogglebox, so I'm pretty sure that's gonna fill a lot of the day up.

So a 75 year old woman flirted with me. I admit I was a little flattered, but at the same time. Ew!

Well. That's the Friday calling it slot booked up.

I'm sure some of the decisions I've made in life will come back to haunt me later in life.

I think the 75 year old has already taken care of that, chuckles.

That's a lot of drinking. Wow.

Hence why me making a gag on bad decisions in life. I'm just like a rasta egyptian swimmer.

In de nile.

DD, at 8 years old, knows who Danny Kaye is.

Everyone does. He is the benchmark for Clark W Griswold's hap hap happiest Christmas.

After 15 years of marriage its always hump day eve never the day.

Yeah, you really should put out more often, champ. A lady's got needs.


Have a great day my transatlantic cousins.

Morning, Gents! Missed posting yesterday due to a computer updated that took longer than anticipated. Spent the day making phone calls again, and will do that again today. Outside that, all's well on my end.

Had to add (something I forgot to mention):
So while I was at Pulmonology on Monday, I was the only person at the front desk, I do all the Check-ins and Check-outs. I had this older lady come, she was around 75 and vibrant/energetic. Basically she kept herself in shape. During the process of checking her in, I have to ask the COVID questions: "Have you been vaccinated against COVID. If not, I have a series of questions to ask them. I asked her the questions and she said that she was healthy, but we'll see what the doctor says. She then comes out and here's the exchange:

Lady: "Well, the doctor says I'm healthy."
Me: "Oh he did, did he? Well, then, let me check you out." (in a playful way)
Lady: "Oh, sweetie, you can check me out. You're cute. If I were 20 years younger..."
Me: "Why thank you." I admit I was caught off guard by that, but I rebounded quickly.

We then continued talking and wound up talking about how my DD, at 8 years old, knows who Danny Kaye is. We then finished up and she went on her way. So a 75 year old woman flirted with me. I admit I was a little flattered, but at the same time. Ew!

The fact that you know who Danny Kaye is probably helped make you more attractive.

And on that note

Afternoon gents! Seems like things are in order around here and around here, being normal is saying something. Have a good one chaps and pulling for Habs there Darcy & Dan.

I've got "seagulls" to deal with for the next couple of days. Big-Wigs from the main office

Yep big noisy birds, fly in, leave piles of karp all over for others to pick up

 

[declansdad]

Evening All.

Played golf today in a 4 man scramble. Finished 11 under but we didn't cheat enough to win I'm guessing. It was still nice to get out and play.

Now time to have a quick nap before the hockey game. Go HABS!

 

[AirGoofy]

Made it to Wednesday. Worked two days this week and will work again Friday. I am liking the 10 hour day. That last hour of the day is the worst as it just drags on. But, that 7 AM hour is wonderful as it is so peaceful. I guess if I decided to go back to full time, I could try to convince them to do 4, 9 hour days.

The house still isn't on the market, and not quite sure why. Meeting with the realtor tomorrow and it's supposed to be a go then. I never thought I would move out of this house, but I definitely ain't doing this again. My next move will be Gran Tourino style.

I've got "seagulls" to deal with for the next couple of days. Big-Wigs from the main office will be on site for the next few and worse, they'll be camping in the office and conference room right beside my desk.

Management - promoted to the level of incompetence. Good luck.

I think we should all club together for a Taco Bell voucher and a webcam.
I'd pay top dollar for that.

But why would you want to punish Rob by making him eat Taco Bell? That's nor right to do to anyone.

I guess if she had money, then it may be worth a shot.

I've not seen a lot of obese patient's at the Pulmonology I've worked at, but a lot who are/were smokers. That's it, you have to treat them, but you just wish they'd make better decisions. I'm sure some of the decisions I've made in life will come back to haunt me later in life. We'll see.

I work with quite a few MDs that say they shouldn't treat obese patients, or smokers, etc. Same opinion on COVID and treat people who didn't wear the masks that didn't work or refused vaccinations. Still, I'm sure I eroded many years away with all the alcohol, cigars, junk food, job stress, and tennis sunburns. Bring on the morphine drip.

Morning boys from a humid London. Payback for all this good weather came last night with Floridian level sheet rain tipping it down. At least I didn't have to water the garden.

But why would you want to punish Rob by making him eat Taco Bell? That's nor right to do to anyone.

I see many many of your countrymen willingly going into these establishments, in the full knowledge they are playing russian roulette with their bowel movements. Maybe Rob lives on the edge of Taco goodness and a Carl Lewis speed run to the khazi. No judgement here.

Go HABS!

Whatever you did today, do it on every day when the games are on. Our Stanley cup dreams are with you.

Yep big noisy birds, fly in, leave piles of karp all over for others to pick up

Amen.

Have a great day fellas, may your day be a bucket of churros with extra dipping sauce.

 

[CapeCodTenor]

Hey, Gents! Everything's going well. That's it. Have a good day.

Again, great idea. Except...
They'll just close the doors to those offices and conference rooms that their entitled to. I'll just be punishing all the rest of the folks I actually work with out here in the barnyard.

Classic film though; may have to watch that to lift the spirits a mite.

This is true, however, if you step real close to the closed door you might be able to get some of the smell into the conference room.

Well. That's the Friday calling it slot booked up.

Glad you're liking those long days. I'm still up in the air over it.

The house still isn't on the market, and not quite sure why. Meeting with the realtor tomorrow and it's supposed to be a go then. I never thought I would move out of this house, but I definitely ain't doing this again. My next move will be Gran Tourino style.

That doesn't surprise me. I've not had any Dr. come out and say it to/in front of me, but I can guess what their thinking just from the look on their face. And while I don't smoke, I drink a lot of sodas and I'm not as active, and I know my Dr. has a problem with that. So I get it. Makes me want to do more to be healthy.

Still, I'm sure I eroded many years away with all the alcohol, cigars, junk food, job stress, and tennis sunburns. Bring on the morphine drip.

We all do stupid stuff in life, my friend.

Happy Friday Eve!

More from Euro 2021 on tap today and shot #2 later this afternoon.

Have a good one all.

Played golf today in a 4 man scramble. Finished 11 under but we didn't cheat enough to win I'm guessing. It was still nice to get out and play.

I'm always amazed at some of the scores that get posted in those scrambles. Like, I've watched these guys play. They can't possibly have eagled every hole.

I never thought I would move out of this house, but I definitely ain't doing this again.

My wife said the same thing last time we moved. She said they'll have to carry her out of this house. So I anticipate being forced to move in another few years.

Management - promoted to the level of incompetence.

My ears are burning for some reason.

I see many many of your countrymen willingly going into these establishments, in the full knowledge they are playing russian roulette with their bowel movements.

Ah, glorious freedom. The freedom to make terrible decisions.

 

[declansdad]

I'm always amazed at some of the scores that get posted in those scrambles. Like, I've watched these guys play. They can't possibly have eagled every hole.

I think the best I've been part of was 15 under but that would have been because we bought 4 or 5 mulligans.

 

[Maroonag1]

Yeah, I try to play in 2-3 charity scrambles every year so I know we are all pencil whipping our score cards; but its like come on really? 22 under? I've played with you guys before and each of you only gets 1-2 really good shots per round.

 

[Maroonag1]

Cutting out of work early today, gotta get my follow up CT and go visit my pulmonologist. And of course I told my wife I had DR appts, so she schedules the dog to go to the vet and youngest DD's COVID shot "since I'm going to be off work anyway" like I didnt have my own appts and stuff to take care of.

Anyway, anyone got big fathers day plans this weekend? My oldest want me to come get her Saturday so I can take her to lunch... About par for the course; and youngest and I are going to spend Sunday cooking together and building her catapult.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Same here. I felt like we had a great day and didn't even come close to winning.

Exactly. Either they cheated or somebody spent like $500 so they had 3 mulligans on every hole.

Afternoon Dads! Basically. all I got,,,,,,,,,,Bacon, Bourbon, Cigars and Mickey Bars! Have a nice Friday Eve!

 

[declansdad]

2nd shot done!

Funny thing though, after I got home I got a call from Bill Gates who said I should have taken Sunset Dr. coming home instead of the 105. Few minutes later Elon Musk called and said Gates didn't know what he was talking about.

 

[CapeCodTenor]

Morning, Gents! Had a good day yesterday, busy, but good. Today's going to be the complete opposite of yesterday. Yesterday we had 68 patients, with about 15 virtual, so that's 53 patients that came into the office. I've had worse in other offices, but still a busy day when you add in the phones. That wouldn't stop ringing. Seriously, they wouldn't stop ringing. Before I left yesterday, I took a look ahead to today to see what today had to offer and discovered that we only 19 patients with 4 of those patients being in-office. A complete departure from yesterday. This is going to be a slow day. (heavy sigh) I will endure and come out stronger because of it. Grrrr. Well that's, guys, have a good day.

TTFN

Did either one offer you access to the super duper secret rich person private road?

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Did either one offer you access to the super duper secret rich person private road?

They offered me access to that actually.
Its not so much a road as it is a helicopter.
But now that's forcing me to chose between either that or a mega-yacht.
Just can't swing both.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[londontime]

Right. That's it. I'm calling it. Work week over. Everyone out. Last one standing in Spice Road Cafe after multiple Sangrias gets to go treasure hunting with Aladdin. Though on second thought, let's leave it to CCT to handle. After the events of this week, he's obviously into poking around dusty caverns in search of ancient relics.

Have a great weekend chaps.

Morning All. I see Dan called it so I guess I will spend the day watching the soccer with with a little F1 practice thrown in. For good measure I will finish it all off with some playoff hockey. The big decision will be will I setup on the deck for part of the day.

Have a good one all.

You can fix the phone problem by shutting the ringer off.
