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.
Someone has something! Good luck to your DS.

Good luck to Dec

DS had his first lesson in rewards for saving and making money, he wanted a Nintendo Switch (don't ask) so we went round toys that he had grown out of from Xmas and Birthdays past, he took photos with me and we stuck them on ebay. He sold his last bit that took him over to the top, so he came out of the game shop like a boss with his new console in his hand. He also got bumped up a grade in his tennis, and he got "Pupil of the week" so all in all, he's had a good one. I might stick his hand in warm water when he's asleep so he wets himself and bring him down a peg or two. You have to keep them on their toes.

Volleyball season has come to an end with a loss in the semi finals. You know what that means....first basketball ball tournament of the summer season in two weeks.

Well done with the lesson Dan and good luck with the warm water.
 
Happy Saturday. More knee mobility, but same amount of pain. Hopefully, I'll hear something on Monday.

Well, looks like Maleficent tried to have an impromptu marshmallow roast at Magic Kingdom yesterday. Guess I won't be seeing the dragon float in the parade this summer. Looks like it will take a while to fix that, if they have it back at all. My guess is they will, but likely with a simple smoke effect. I don't think they let themselves get burned twice.

I saw it last year while sitting aboard the train. It was cool.

I can help there. There was an open flame and flammable stuff.

This is valuable info, people.

Genius. You in management? :lmao:

Well, sorry to hear it ended, and I guess semi finals ain't bad. Good luck at basketball.
 
Evening guys. Gotta go back and read up, but hope all are well.

Supposedly there's some deal about moms or something like that tomorrow. Heard a rumor. Hope it's just talk, cause I'm woefully ill-prepared if I was suppose to do something... :)

Morning All,

Happy Mother's Day to all the DisMoms out there. DW ran her first 10k race this morning and brought home her best 10k time ever, super proud of her.

Have a good one all!
Good job to the lovely Mrs Darcy.

Fortunately our Mother’s Day was out of the way in March, so I’m watching the last day of the EPL with no guilt feelings whatsoever.

Have a good day boys, and Happy Mothers Day to all the missuses. Missi? Missum? Ladies.
 
Wishing all the DIS Moms a wonderful day, make sure you guys take care of them today. Got the letter on Friday that DS was accepted into the Interior Architecture program so that was a big relief for him - seems like too much pressure on these kids with having to compete for limited spots in these majors but what do I know. Hope all are enjoying the special day and wish your better halves a Happy Mother’s Day.

Congrats to the little guy and you crack me up

Sorry about getting knocked out but good luck t him with basketball season.
 
Happy Sunday. Worked this morning. DW went to visit her mom and grandmother. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

Congrats to your DW. That is quite an accomplishment!!!

Congrats to your DS. Glad is he was accepted in the program he wanted.
 
Hey look, it's Monday again. How did that happen?

First league game last night for our soccer team and we came away with a 2-1 win over the team I was with last year. Of course one of our new guys gets hurt early on so we got to play with 3 fullbacks for most of the game and I am paying for that this morning.

The flood waters are slowly receding down river, here it is full clean-up mode. It is surprising the amount of stuff that comes down the river during a flood.

Have a good one all.
 
So much for all that rain we were supposed to get over the weekend! Everyone made it seem like central OH was expecting a legendary storm that would come in on Friday and rage for about 10 days... but so far, not a drop. Made for a pretty darn nice Mothers Day weekend.
 
'Morning all...
Do hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and that as many of you as could spent some time with their Mum.
Bravo for acceptance letters, ending seasons well battled and the outlook for new challenges and horizons.

(now if can just get through a couple more weeks without too much financial hemorrhaging I'll be able to plop my fat-ars down in the sand by the ocean for a bit of a break from reality... that'd be nice.)


Ahhhh yes...
The good ol' days.

Or would that be the good young days?


Wait!
So, we're supposed to be receiving some type of actual gift on Father's Day?


Hey look, it's Monday again. How did that happen?
Einstein has a theory about that...
Seems that if we can figure out a way to vastly speed up the rotation of the planet, we might could slow that clock down a might.

Living downstream from some fairly large metros, it surprising the stuff that makes its way down during normal weather cycles.

Good that y'all are finally able to start cleaning up though.
 
Hey, guys. Just checking in. I didn't go back very far on the old posts, but far enough to know that I should say Happy birthday, Rob!

Crappy weekend for me. Managed to break my lawn mower, my father's power washer, and get a flat tire on my car all in one day. Yay!

And I saw that Whispering Canyon Cafe is no longer doing the shenanigans with guests, apparently. We were going to eat there on our first night of our trip this summer, because I thought my 4-year-old would have fun with it. But without the fun, the food isn't good enough to warrant a special trip. So I guess we'll be changing our plans. Hate to see the fun stuff go.
 
I can help there. There was an open flame and flammable stuff.

That's why I keep coming back here. Just can't plan a trip to Disney without this critical source of knowledge.

Volleyball season has come to an end with a loss in the semi finals. You know what that means....first basketball ball tournament of the summer season in two weeks.
Well, too bad about the loss, but at least there's something else to keep him busy.

More knee mobility, but same amount of pain. Hopefully, I'll hear something on Monday.
Hope the pain is getting a little better. Good luck with the recovery.

Hope it's just talk, cause I'm woefully ill-prepared if I was suppose to do something... :)
I got the easy way out. DW bought herself a couple pairs of shoes last week. The cut me off at the pass when she expected my complaints on spending, she asked if that could be her Mother's Day gift. So the money got spent anyway, but didn't have to do anything. It was enough of a win for me.

Congrats!

Sitting at the dentist’s. I hate the dentist.
Ditto

Just look at my new ticker. That's all you need to know :teeth:

Ouch, not good.
