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

[declansdad]

Morning All, chilly Monday here.

Heard it was International Nap Day, have a good one Randall.

Morning all from a drizzly London. Yesterday's Dole Whip v1.0 was an unmitigated success, with some added input from the dads on FB.

We are allowed to see one family outside from the week after next. We were originally slotted to visit Da World at Easter with a family. We are now getting together in the Back Garden with that family for a Epcot Eat and Drink around the home, with snacks and/or drinks from all of the Pavilions. Finished off with Fireworks on the projector in the Garden with Dole Whip on top of Pineapple Upside down cake. Could be fun.

Also testing for the 3 kids a "virtual roller coaster" which features aforementioned projector, a balance board, some ply, 2 plastic chairs, rope and a couple of dads.

On the observation side, I've enjoyed listening to the Drs at the hospital rip the insurance doctors denying a treatment course for their patients. Still, it causes delays and there just has to be a better way.

I think this is the school of thought where our 2 countries are the furthest apart, the fact that you would be denied treatment for something that could save your life on the basis of affordability.

Boston cream “pie” is actually a sponge cake—thus named because it turns out as light and fluffy as a sponge. The cake includes two layers filled with a creamy vanilla-flavored custard and topped with a rich chocolate icing.

Sounds, er....... nah. I think I'll pass. Brady says that a lot too.

Heard it was International Nap Day, have a good one Randall.

There is much to be said for a good nap. Particularly after a heavy Sunday lunch with wine.

Anyways, onwards and upwards fellas. Have a good one.

Have you seen Will Pemble on you tube who has built a full on one in his backyard? Every time that I watch that guy I feel my man card get further rescinded.
Mine is a little more low rent than that

Ah! I was wondering how that'd turn out. Sooo tempted. But the wallet is crying "Nooooo!" and the belly is protruding, so... maybe some day.

That sounds like a fun time, actually.

It's one of the best things you can eat. Love Boston Cream Pie.

Impressive! And the Mentos was a nice touch.

Hey guys, Happy Monday. @pkondz, hope you enjoy your time off and find something to do!

My daughter is home for a bit for spring break, so it's nice having the family back together. My wife got her first dose of COVID vaccine and still has all the same number of limbs and body parts she had before, so we'll count that as a win. Hoping the rest of us can get one before too long.

Heading North tomorrow.

That happens later. If she grows a third eye in the back of her head, that will serve her well as a teacher.

 

[AirGoofy]

Back at work on a Monday. Why did I sign up for this again?

Right. $$$$$

This time change weekend hit me harder than usual though. Not sure the reason why

Ah, ok...I get it now. You do have a lot on your plate. I can see where you'd be a bit nervous. I'm just lucky that all I have to do is check a patient in or out.

Well, not really nervous. I'm a part of the patient's care team and I already caught a discharge where the MD was sending them home without O2. But, someone else would have picked up on that soon enough when they tried to leave without it.

Morning, Gents! Well, in true New England fashion, it was near 60F on Friday and it snowed yesterday, not enough to accumulate, but it did snow. That's New England for you. Today I'm off to a primary care office for training, so we'll see how that goes. Well, that's all I've got. Have a good day, gents, and we'll chat at the end.

Have fun training.

I think this is the school of thought where our 2 countries are the furthest apart, the fact that you would be denied treatment for something that could save your life on the basis of affordability.

Anyways, onwards and upwards fellas. Have a good one.

Technically, both our countries do that. We could sustain people indefinitely on ventilators or bypass machines if someone built enough of them. Or, maybe cryogenic freezing (yeah, there's the conspiracy nut). I get what you are mean though.

Congrats on the vaccine and no side effects. The single dose is out now, and I'm guessing it will be opened up soon enough for the rest of people who want the vaccine.

She's a mom. She already has that one.

Well...we're old.

Yeah, it feels like the dam is about to burst in terms of vaccine availability. That would be welcome.

Speak for yourself old man. Actually, that's a pet peeve of mine...there is absolutely NO reason for daylight savings time. In the Northern hemisphere, we NATURALLY get more daylight in the summer. Beverly stupid!

DW had the chance to get one yesterday. If she didn't take so dad blamed long to get ready, she would have. Literally the 3 people that walked in before us got it and then they came out and said there were none left.

Fair point.

I’ve been watching past seasons of Masterchef (Canada). Got creative tonight. Not too much, ran out of steam.

Would you say the Dole Whip was posh?
I do the same for my kiddos. I just use a laundry basket and move it to the you tube video. I started doing it with my little brother when we were kids. I had a full VHS of Star Tours my uncle shot with a monster video camera. I have had to step up the game with my kids as there is unlimited videos now.

I had some amazing poutine last night at a local bar. The gravy was bacon gravy probably some of the best poutine I have had. Granted I have never had real Canadian Poutine.

Always chasing the dollar. I feel you brotha. The time change never made sense to me why we keep it. Tradition? I saw we stay on the longer days. I get more accomplished

And yet... bacon.... mmmmmm...

I didn’t get the add on of fresh jalapeños and shaved prime rib but I should have

Morning, Gents! Early to work for me. I have to be at the office by 7 am, so I'm just jumping on here really quickly to say "Hey" and then I'm off. Training's going well, yesterday's office was a bit more...involved, don't want to say difficult. Ok, maybe difficult is a better word, but you get the picture. For some reason, every time I tried to check-in/out a patient there was something I had to get help on. I'm there to learn, so...bring it on. Well, that's it. Gotta run.

It didn't hit me hard this year, thankfully. Sorry it did for you, though.

Well, not really nervous. I'm a part of the patient's care team and I already caught a discharge where the MD was sending them home without O2. But, someone else would have picked up on that soon enough when they tried to leave without it.

It would have been caught anyways, but good thing you did catch it.

Have fun training.

Thanks

Morning. Another chilly one here, hopefully the last for awhile.

Not much today other than work. Come on lottery numbers!!
