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

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.
Good morning. Just gotta get through today, half day tomorrow, 2 1/2 work days next week and then I'm Florida bound.
Lets see...
Off tomorrow, but have a medical test involving needles and electricity. NY-Day with the in-laws capped by a weekend of probable yard work and grass cutting (because it's rained for a month and the temp hasn't dropped below 70 in near as long), followed by a week of mandatory 6am work start times and then a week of imposed deadlines and constant interruptions from my overlords...

For some strange reason, I rather like your plan just a smidgen better than mine.


Of course Black Eyed Peas are a must for NY. Old Southern tradition is to eat black eyed peas NY Day.
You forgot about the collards. Basically it's a mandatory meal of bitter, slimy and unpalatable poverty food.
While it is certainly humbling, I've never seen anything about it that was particularly luck inspiring.

On the up side, we substitute a pork roast of the ham, my MIL always makes pinto beans just for me so I can skip the BEPs, and DW always makes a big 'ol casserole dish of "Bad Mac". If I bring a couple of brews with me as well, I can completely skip the whole tradition of penance and get a much better start on the new year.


Can't argue with the results. Maybe he is growing up a bit.
Maybe... we'll see if it continues and how he deals with the inevitable down turns to come.


I pick option-c.
Sick <cough><cough> today off tomorrow.
I like this idea; a lot...
Dang shame I'm useless when it comes to effectively telling lies.


:laughing: I like how you included "for a while".
Gott'a get in and get out quick. Hipsters are both foolish and fickle...
They'll drop a trend once they realize that someone "un-cool" might be aware of it.


Niiiiice.
All you people heading down at the same time...


I hate you all.






Kidding! (Not really... well, okay.)
Yeah... I hate 'em all too.
At least until I can't figure out how to get down there during marathon weekend.
Then I'll hate me too...


but I wont care.

Mom was a big collard and or mustard greens person but it never stuck with me. She did get me to eventually like Okra. Some of the ham will make it into the BEP pot but have to have a separate one for the tofu eater. Post NY, the ham bone goes into a big old pot of navy bean soup. A winter staple for me.

I would be good with your alternative, after all, pig is pig.

Wait... Are you counting me as a "regular poster"?


I need to get out more.

Yes, you are now a regular poster. Don't leave us like the other 793. It's not you, it's us. :lmao:

Ok, the second it is! As if we haven't discussed it on the secret facebook page enough already.

But we haven't discussed it here.

OK I've been to Star Wars Launch Pad a few times since it opened. But I really didn't know what I was looking at:confused3. Now that we have seen the movie,1st night 1st viewing 7pm Thurs. We had a crew of 24 to see Star Wars( and yes we dressed up I was Obi Ron Konobi :rotfl2:) we had 1st 2 rows but most importantly also had 3 active duty police in our group packing in our rows:thumbsup2 Now that we have seen the movie In less then 3 weeks we will understand much more what we are actually looking at when we return to the Launch Pad:thumbsup2

Bravo. Help us Obi Ron. You're our only hope. :lmao:

I hate you all.

Don't be a hater. Otherwise, we all hate you on your trip. :furious:

I really like fried okra. Never had it until I married DW and it is great. It is served in many of our finer fast food establishments here.
 
Just watched the Pirate Princess's soon to be Alma Mater, Seton Hall destroy Marquette 83-63. If they keep playing like this, the kid and I may have to make plans to see them play in the Tournament. Way too early to count chickens though.
 
Good morning! Half day of work and then I get to sit around watching football!

Having the college playoff semi-finals on NYE is stupid though. It is causing marital problems in our family. I want to watch MSU/Alabama tonight. DW doesn't. She wants to get together with her sister's family like we do every year and watch movies.

I told her to just invite them over and we'll hang out and watch football instead.

Wish me luck.
 
Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
... and this.

That is a lot of pages to say. Cook, eat, repeat.

I say January 1, we start open discussion. Should give everyone a chance to see it over the weekend.
Still trying to get my family in to see it. Finally starting to be some availability. The theater here that has assigned seating only has the front row open still.


Have a happy and safe New years.
Got the Black eyed peas soaking and ready to go in the pot once I get off work. I eat one spoon full every New Years for luck, cant stand them. I am also doing a head of cabbage; we never did greens guess its the Irish side of the family.
 
Got the Black eyed peas soaking

Why do I have a vision in my head of Fergie, will.i.am and the rest of the band singing "I gotta feeling" while being shot at with super-soakers?
