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

[pkondz]

Morning folks. Two more shifts until a day off! Woot!
(Soooo.... that makes it an almost sure thing that I'll get a phone call to come in to work.)

Hello Dads. So, an interesting observation at my house this past weekend. DD16 instead of the usual "party at a friend's house" decides to stay in Friday night and study biology and then Saturday night stays in to work on her resume to start applying for summer jobs. So those of you just entering the teenage years with your kids, have faith, eventually they do grow up! (Well, most anyway. The others just become DIS Dads )

Got one on one side of the fence, the other on the other.

Played soccer last night, another 2-2 draw. I have been moved to a wing position in the midfield instead of my usual spot on the back line.

Interesting. My usual wing position is the couch, although sometimes I take the chair. And I've discovered that I no longer care for suicide wings. I prefer to taste them than to burn my mouth.

Well my goddess of a wife talked to Disney and apparently charmed them, so we are staying at POR for the extra two days, and the price is half what they quoted me. Added an extra day to our tickets for 50 bucks as well. It had to be a separate registration, but they said that most likely we would be able to stay in the same room and not have to leave our room at all.

So we are going to be in Disney for 10 days, with 2 days for getting there and leaving, so 8 full days in the parks.

Nice!

Nice!

Are you looking at my wife?

If she can get us half price anything at Disney we are all looking on in admiration.

Good Morning! I missed a week with some crazy busy stuff going on. I scanned through quickly and looks like CJ survived the bridges again (although the anxiety my nemmie feels is very pleasing), a new 200lb dog (no thanks) and lots of weather changes everywhere. Hope all have a great week.

DD had 2 more softball games. Won the first after pitching the first two and last inning. Seems every time we put in another pitcher, all goes to hell. Lost the second in top of the 7th with a lot of errors. Coaching 13 year old girls is hard. One minute they are focused and dominating, the next it seems like we are playing T ball against a college team. DD pitched the full game and did a great job, but couldn't pull it out. Having fun though. A good group of girls.

DS pitched all 7 innings of a 7-3 win over the weekend. It was a fundraiser game for breast cancer. Had a no hitter through 5 2/3 innings. In the bottom of the 7th, a kid took his first pitch deeper than anything I have ever seen off DS. Held him to a triple as there was no fence, but pretty sure it would have cleared the Green Monster in Fenway.

Cats had surgery for spaying on Thursday of last week. Have pretty much been cleaning up cat puke a few times a day since. Called the vet this morning to make sure that there is nothing wrong as it's getting really old at this point. For those following along on owning Bengals, they systematically removed the collars that the vet tried to put on them before we brought them home. Vet suggested we try an inflatable one. That lasted exactly 30 seconds before they removed those and we returned them to the store. They are supposed to not run, jump or be over active for 7-10 days. That lasted approximately 7 minutes. They are climbing the curtains, screen door and everything they can. At night it sounds like the Kentucky Derby as they race around the hardwood floors.

Morning Men!

Played soccer last night, another 2-2 draw. I have been moved to a wing position in the midfield instead of my usual spot on the back line. Man there is a lot of running on the wing!

Cold, rainy day up here north of the border and I get to start the day at the dentist. Good times!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Hey Darcy. I used to play mid field until I stopped playing about 7 years ago. Ask to go back to D. It's more fun to wait for the other guys to run to you. Good luck at the dentist. cool here for a few days, but the coming weekend is supposed to be great weather.

Morning folks. Two more shifts until a day off! Woot!
(Soooo.... that makes it an almost sure thing that I'll get a phone call to come in to work.)

Good Morning. cough....cough... sounds like a good time for a sick day. Remember, all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy.

Now, there's a keeper right there. Glad it worked out and not too expensive.

Anyone having problems on the site today? I have had to sign in 4 times just to post. Finally went through. I'd blame it on CJ, but he's in NJ and busy trying to map a new map home without bridges.

Raising them is bad enough.

Not today, but I've had that before from time to time. Pain in the ***

Top O the Mornin Dads! HS graduation week, ceremony is Friday night so have that to look forward to.

Some of the highlights from DD's 9th B'day party yesterday.

Well done!

DD16 instead of the usual "party at a friend's house" decides to stay in Friday night and study biology and then Saturday night stays in to work on her resume to start applying for summer jobs. So those of you just entering the teenage years with your kids, have faith, eventually they do grow up! (Well, most anyway. The others just become DIS Dads )

Yes they do eventually get it, girls much earlier than the boys though

Good morning everyone. Finished my last project at work, so I'm all clear for the rest of the year.

Take it easy on em Vardy.

That's the spirit! Napping, Disboards, facebook and basic tomfoolery expected.

Thats me with my oldest DD in our Force Awakens shirts after we finished decorating.

Simply amazing! Here's hoping my kids like the same things I do. But I guess I won't find out for another decade or so.

That's awesome! Can she be my travel agent? All the magic at half the cost? Yes sir!

All that means to me is that you have been working too hard. You got 12 months of work done in 5 months.. Take a break, watch some coeds, drink a beer. Those are orders from a US Government Employee. I could have you locked up if you don't comply. Mail jail is something you don't want to mess with.

Simply amazing! Here's hoping my kids like the same things I do. But I guess I won't find out for another decade or so.

You have plenty of time to beat it into them. She had been wanting a Little Mermaid theme until about a month ago when we stopped by the Disney outlet store and she saw all the Force Awakens stuff. Then it just had to be a Star Wars party, and I wasn't gonna argue.

Awards ceremony yesterday, graduation today. A long weekend but it is now over. Having a bourbon and ginger ale and kicking back before the final packing and the long trek home starting tomorrow. Plan is to leave early afternoon, drive through the night, stop where we want the next morning and then to Auntie's house for a day. A couple of pics...

As a graduate, she can now step on the school's crest. The red tassel signifies Summa Honors.

Wife for the win!

et suggested we try an inflatable one. That lasted exactly 30 seconds before they removed those and we returned them to the store. They are supposed to not run, jump or be over active for 7-10 days. That lasted approximately 7 minutes.

When the mutt I didn't want came out from the anesthetic after being shall we said de-maled, he was jumping up and down wanting to play. The vet was worried he was going to rip the stitches. Nutsos.

Anyone having problems on the site today? I have had to sign in 4 times just to post. Finally went through. I'd blame it on CJ, but he's in NJ and busy trying to map a new map home without bridges.

There is no other way other than a couple of hundred mile detour to get around those bridges. Trust me, I looked.

Impressive. You have every right to puff out your chest with pride. Congrats to the Pirate Princess!

I like chicken wings, with just a nice honey BBQ glaze. I like some heat, but not enough to kill all the taste buds.

Are you looking at my wife?

Was she on that website?

The website of nice wives who save their families money on Disney trips. What did you think I met?

They are climbing the curtains, screen door and everything they can. At night it sounds like the Kentucky Derby as they race around the hardwood floors.

Sounds like your still busy with sports with the young 'ens. If the baseball & softball doesn't work out, there's always cat derbies.

Yes they do eventually get it, girls much earlier than the boys though

Early congrats to DS. Just how much earlier do girls get it out of their system?

That's the spirit! Napping, Disboards, facebook and basic tomfoolery expected.

So, work like usual?

All that means to me is that you have been working too hard. You got 12 months of work done in 5 months.. Take a break, watch some coeds, drink a beer. Those are orders from a US Government Employee. I could have you locked up if you don't comply. Mail jail is something you don't want to mess with.

.

Again, more work as usual? I usually only bring in the bourbon or cognac during the office Christmas party, but maybe all year long might be even better.

It's like we graduated along with her. Thanks for posting all the pictures.

Be proud, puffy chested and did I say proud?! Congrats to PP and well done CJ, they don't turn out to be fantastic young adults without some good parenting - tip of the hat to you sir!
