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.
'Morning all...
For those in-country, enjoy the festivities tomorrow.
Will have to work part of the day myself, but I suppose that's not as bad as having to work all of it.
(of course, I get no O/T or any other extra compensation either way, so it doesn't really make much difference)


And in today's crybaby challenge, Governor Thanos lost his other Federal Court case, requiring Medicaid recipients to work to receive Medicaid. I'm not sure how you force someone with a disability to work, especially if they have a 50 IQ and no physical functioning ability. So, since he lost his case, he has now removed the vision and dental benefits of Medicaid, which will just force more lawsuits. And, because my wife works tangentially with that population, the dental benefit was pulling teeth.
A credit to his belief system that one is...
Our Gov may consider The Cornerstone Speech to be his favorite bed time story, but the bloke y'all acquired makes him seem almost harmless.


I guess I'm the only America who doesn't have an iPhone
Nope... at least three of us so far.
Not a fan of the Empire, myself.
But then again, I only use my old hand-me-down cell phone as a phone.
Yes, it can run apps, but I don't bother loading or running any.


I don't think any amount of money will alleviate the stress of dealing with idiots.
Probably not, but it would certainly afford me considerably better opportunities for stress relief.
I'd be willing to test the theory, if anyone wants to fund the project.


Little bit of light at the end of the tunnel, got my appointment where hopefully my cast is removed for next Tuesday, so 1 more week.
May that go as planned and may you continue healing quickly.


Happy 4th of July Eve. Another year for us in compound back tax that you still owe, so it's all good. I don't take cheques.
Not to worry, we wont be writing a cheque anyway (nor a check either).
There are other folks with slightly older grievances against us (and y'all for that matter) that are in line ahead of you anyway.


Holy crap do I need a vacation. Then again... who doesn't?
Time is a wonderful thing.
Where are y'all off to this time around?
We're headed out to the Puget Sound area ourselves in a bit here.


Wow. That's just.... how does he sleep at night???
See, now there's the problem...
Pretty sure he sleeps like a baby.
 
Morning chaps, from a 28c London. Little bit of light at the end of the tunnel, got my appointment where hopefully my cast is removed for next Tuesday, so 1 more week. @pkondz hope you have a better day fella, or whoever is messing with your shizzle does a Biff Tannen and drives into a pick up truck of Horse Manure.
That would be cool. If it happens, pictures! ;)

Big game tonight.
Wait! The superbowl moved to July?
:rotfl2:

Our friends are coming over Saturday, we are having Dogs and Burgers as it's 4th July week so just arranging that whist watching Ladies Wimbledon. They want to pick my brains over Disney, as they want to go next year. I'm really not comfortable telling someone how to spend about 12k of their hard earned dough, so I might just give them the booking thresholds and the MDE stuff.
You're not telling them how to spend their money per se. I think they've already decided to spend the money and ultimately to spend or not to spend is their choice. I think being able to give people pointers is one of the best things you could do as a friend. Think about some of the mistakes or things you'd wished you'd done differently. So, it's not telling them to spend their money, it's trying to help them get the most out of what they spend.

Have a good day fellas, may your Mickey Bar be on Mickey today. Happy 4th of July Eve. Another year for us in compound back tax that you still owe, so it's all good. I don't take cheques.
I'm not planning on sending a check nor anything else, but if I did, I'd send pennies. Based on what you SAY we owe you, that would pretty much cover the entire island in about 20 feet of copper. :lmao:
 

Pretty sure he sleeps like a baby.
He craps in his pants?
Thanks. Drinking isn't really my thing. One girly drink and I'm good.
Appletini for the polite guy in the Goofy shirt, please barman....
Go Lions!!
:thumbsup2

I might ask them for their budget number, and go from there.

Due to brexit, we'll take what we can get. You can keep the tea.
Wait! The superbowl moved to July?
No no, a REAL world tournament. ;)

I have a question for y'all. Maybe even non-DVC members would know this.

Someone told me if you were going to buy DVC resale and DVC direct from Disney, it was better to do it in that order vs. Disney first and then resale. I do not recall what the reason(s) is/are though.

Have any of you looked at this and why resale first would be better? I think the reason I forgot was because I'm already a DVC member, so I can't do resale first anyway. Trying to find out for another DIS boards member who's considering DVC. If there's a thread (will see if I can find one) where this is discussed, then just tell me to get off your lawn. ;)
 
Slept over 9 hours last night and while nice, I'm a bit groggy and am way behind on what I supposed to do today.

Good luck Bubba. I'll reply to your message later today.

Big game tonight.

Am going to a local watering hole to watch. It may be full of Columbians though. Good luck to the mother country.

So.... marshmallows were in short supply.

It was hard to reach because the fire was on the roof.

Yep. Pretty good club.

True.

See, now there's the problem...
Pretty sure he sleeps like a baby.

All these A-holes do.

Getting in the car and driving West. We'll see how far I get.

Sound like a cool trip. Enjoy, you deserve it.

I can't think of a financial one. If you are chasing a particular resale resort rather than CC, I guess you will pick up a contract quicker on the resale market, and then go on the waiting list with Disney, for your 75 points and the full benefit, and Disney will be able to match the use year. Norm is a DVC whiz, so will know more than me

Football is always watched best in bars. Have a good one mate.
 
If anyone needs me for the next 3 hrs, I’ll be behind my fingers.....


COME ON YOU LIONS

Home to watch PKs. You still alive Dan?

Wow. That's just.... how does he sleep at night???

Just fine on those Million dollar sheets.

Don't work tomorrow, but all my hours are in for the week. Still have to work Friday.

::yes::

I know. Buy the resale contract at a reduced price. But, you don't get "extra perks" since didn't buy direct from Disney. Then, buy a 25 point contract (minimum add on) from Disney and receive same benefits of all DVC members.

Plus, you get points at your choice of home resorts, then 25 to borrow & bank for an extra trip every third year or extra nights split stay. Compare points a night at Boardwalk to Grand Floridian.

Cheers mate! The bourbons is out.

Cheers back at you. Enjoyed my time at the watering hole. I know the bartender so she gives me a good pour. There was about 50/50 split between the fans. The Columbians were mostly quiet until they tied it up in extra time. Then they went nuts. You will be happy to know they left quietly after the kicks. The suspense was probably not what you needed but England advances, so I imagine it brightened you day a bit.

Have a great trip and happy 21st to the boy....

What he said. Have a blast.
