All right! Congrats!
Thanks.
Now that is funny.
All right! Congrats!
The only reason I can put this down to is that you are as high as a kite today now it's OK to break out your stash.
Great news and congrats to PP and her proud Pappa.FOR THE MOMENT, THIS IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION ANYWHERE ELSE.
The kid got the job! While she is training, it will pay a livable wage which doubles after the 7 month training program. The job has to do with sharks and people interacting with them. They had over 150 applicants and did 6 in person interviews. Thirty minutes into the phone call, they told her they wanted her to start last week but could she be there by mid-September. Guess they wanted her. That is about all I can say now. I can let more out in a few days.
The one problem (for me, not her) is the job is in Hawaii. I've delat with the kid being away at school but now she is going to be 4,850 miles away. This will dramatically change my vacation plans. Europe next year is out and my DVC points will be reallocated to Aulani, maybe the Grand California.
The two of us are in shock.
Nicely done! Had the same challenges for our trip in a few weeks but got all 3 Toy Story attractions - being at BWV helped and decided to hit HS on our arrival day.My FP booking was successful. Got the two new Toy Story land rides, plus Midway Mania. I got all the rides that will be new to me - Flight of Passage, Navi River, Frozen Ever After, heck even the "new" Soarin' will be new for me. Plus the usual suspects like Everest, 7 Dwarfs, BTMRR, Space Mountain.
I struggled a bit with Hollywood Studios and the Tier system. To get Alien Saucers, Slinky Dog, and Mania - all tier 1 - I had to burn up 3 days worth of FP, and after Star Tours, RnRC, and ToT, there's not much else worth using a FP on. So I doubled down on Star Tours and got a Fantasmic, which people say isn't really worth it.
Epcot was somewhat similar with FEA and Soarin on tier 1. I didn't get a Test Track FP because I didn't have a third day of FP to burn at Epcot, so I'm hoping to do a stand by rope drop.
Good tip. Cheers mate.
So, good news and bad news. Bad news is I've got to have surgery in the next couple of days, as the tendon even when flexed back has a 2.5cm gap in it , so it's a total rupture. Good news is the quack is fairly confident I will be definitely weight bearing and maybe even boot free by the trip. The S Florida bit is definitely out though mate, as he said that would be the physio start, so he didn't recommend not being in the country.
All the best to the DD, PP, for the J.O.B., C.J.
It was more the timing of the removal of casts and boots mate to be honest rather than the could I physically make it. Worst case scenario that we gamed out on the FPs was I'll go to the parks and just people watch and stroll, if the rides are pushing my luck. Or get from my room to the Tiki terrace and back.

Sorry about the bad news part, but at least you won't have to cancel the trip entirely. Hope it all goes well for you.
Awesome news. I can imagine you must have mixed feelings about her moving so far away. But it's something all us Dads may have to face at some point, I guess.
Great news and congrats to PP and her proud Pappa.
Congratulations to her. I can somehow hear the pride from that post. Doing your dream job in a dream location is exactly what we all want for our children? Any chance CJ relocates to Hawaii or the West Coast? Still too early to think about that?
We both thank you.
My job is done and I think I did it OK. Now I can put my feet up and relax. As for a relocating, not for now. Before this if I did sell the house, I was thinking downsizing here and finding a small place in Southern Italy (believe it or not). This may change things but not right away.
This is funny. In the mail today there was was personally tailored promotional material for Golden Oak. You know, I can have the magic of a home at Disney starting at 2 million dollars. Man, are they barking up the wrong tree.

Good news buddy. Let's hope they send that scoundrel down. Thieving is thieving however you dress it up. My faith in our "public servants" could not be any lower right now.Some welcome good news today. Governor Thanos lost in Court today.
You don't want the 2 mill one mate, it hasn't got space for the Range Rover and the Maserati. You'd have to leave one out on the drive. I can't think of anything worse.You know, I can have the magic of a home at Disney starting at 2 million dollars.
And coming up next on TLC, "Shark Shiv"......I can see it now.PP is going to rock it, is going to have a show on AP or A&E
Nice. We love Lecce and the Amalfi coast. We really need to get the kids over there soon.I was thinking downsizing here and finding a small place in Southern Italy (believe it or not).

Southern Italy? Not sure I'd ever leave the USA, unless I'm moving to Canada or England for the free knee surgery. Southern Italy could change to Southern California or southern Hawaii.![]()
Awesome news and congrats to her!
This is why you got the Golden Oaks thing, you see they must know that the PP is going to rock it, is going to have a show on AP or A&E and will want to get her Dad a great place to live at WDW Golden Oaks so you can be there when every Dad visits WDW and will be the envy of The Dis Dads Club

Mum is at Royal Ascot today, so she's gonna be an absolute mess when she gets back. Its basically a huge piss up periodically interrupted by some horses. I went about 10 years on the trot (see what I did there?)

Some welcome good news today. Governor Thanos lost in Court today. The Pension Bill passed was found unconstitutional. So, no pension changes and previous system remains in place.
Another episode in the life of CJ...This is funny. In the mail today there was was personally tailored promotional material for Golden Oak. You know, I can have the magic of a home at Disney starting at 2 million dollars. Man, are they barking up the wrong tree.
Good news from the court system. Delays work in your favor at this point.Some welcome good news today. Governor Thanos lost in Court today. The Pension Bill passed was found unconstitutional. So, no pension changes and previous system remains in place. Thanos said that he will appeal, but that has to go to KY Supreme Court, and there is no time frame or requirement that they even take the case. If they delay 2 years, then perhaps he will be voted out of office.
Got a case of the munchies, do we?
We throw a couple parties along those lines over here as well.Its basically a huge piss up periodically interrupted by some horses.
And where on earth would he park the Aston...You don't want the 2 mill one mate, it hasn't got space for the Range Rover and the Maserati. You'd have to leave one out on the drive. I can't think of anything worse.
Worth it!Happy Thursday folks. Sorry to say I did a little bit of celebrating yesterday and am a bit rough today.
Again, I don't know...Very good news. Maybe he will get caught in a sex scandal and have to resign.
Brilliant idea.CJ, I don't know about the others, but I'd be willing to chip in as much as $500 to help out.

Good point. Mustt must have a multi car garage. Maybe with an elevator for the cars.
She might actually be seen on a show in this year's Shark Week.
I'm certainly glad I wasn't working the Cheetos aisle in Pkondz's supermarket yesterday.Got a case of the munchies, do we?

I've got $47.53 left in my retirement savings that I could contribute to the cause.
I have read back a bit but more in a glancing fashion. Congrats to the PP Cj, seems like quite the opportunity.
Make sure they give you some Wolverine claws or something while they're working on you. My daughter's doctor refused for some reason.
Call 'em back. I'll throw in $20, so that puts you at $567.53. I'm sure that will make all the difference when you talk to 'em.Called them today and said I'd like to put down $547.53 and they hung up on me.
