Happy Daddy Day to all out there.

what he said. Also, if you have a bottle that is more than 3oz., but almost empty (and obviously LESS than 3oz. in it), they will still take it. They go by what is written on the bottle (what size it is)....NOT HOW MUCH is left IN the bottle



Must be gettin' ready for vacation, huh? Hope everything/one is okay. We are set for the 10th....Dragons and/or Hulk?? Was going to invite Robert too...he's from Ireland and will be staying at RPR too. I have to do the coaster(s) [Hulk] with his wife Lily..... I can set up a coaster-meet for the 10th if ya want




Wow...that was nice...do it again!




Be safe! You really will deserve that vacation!!





hey guys ...i'm not bored....got a ton of stuff to do....wanna help?

Sounds good to me Barb cause Dw and DS's want to ride the hulk for the first time but the youngest DS may be the only one brave enough to ride the dragons cause I know DW says no way

mac....i don't think they CAN throw meds out.... and exactly what difference did it make whether it was on the belt or not? just like you have to take your laptop out and put it in the bin separate...I don't get that?

Marcie...they don't let bottles of more than 3oz. thru security...whether they are full of liquid, empty or almost empty. They don't go by the "3oz liquid" rule, more like the "3oz bottle size". You were lucky to get the other bottle back. I think I came home with an empty waterbottle (8oz) from the HardRock last year

I was confused on the meds too. I would also have a hard time shutting my mouth if they tried to take the meds. Several times I've forgotten to take my plastic baggie out of the carryon and they've always taken it out for me and given me a warning about it. It never occurred to me that they'd take it - it was just a simple mistake!

And I understand the 3oz rule - I know we were wrong in both cases, but even though we asked both times, once they gave us the bottle back and once they didn't. I thought maybe it was more because one was disposable and one wasn't.

Hi Penny! Long time no see! Welcome back!

how horrible the son lost the bottle almost. it was good they let him empty it and go thru again.
dates are so important to teens.

No, unfortunately he didn't get his bottle back. We got the cute one that goes with our Fisher Price fanny pack that they've had since they were like 4 back! But as far as dates - if you want to know how to remember when their two year anniversary is - just watch all the commercials telling you when you have to switch your TV's over to digital - it's the same date - Feb 17, 2009!

DH and I went on a last minute trip yesterday afternoon. I love that the kids are old enough to leave on their own.

We ended up buying a coal stove and 4 tons of coal in 40 pound bags. There's no way I'm paying $5.00 a gallon for oil this winter. Last winter we used 1000 gallons.....

Sharon - we're looking forward to that time! Not quite there yet, although we're talking about it for the fall. Eric has a special band concert out in Madison in October - he goes out and stays overnight and then performs the next day. Since we'd have to drive him out Friday morning and then see him Saturday afternoon, we considered just staying out there together. Couldn't get a room (in the same hotel as the kids) with 2 double beds, only kings were available so we could leave the older two home overnight. Only problem is that it's Halloween night itself, which makes me a bit leery. We'll see!

I loved the pics - it looked so beautiful out on the balcony! Was it warm enough to sit out there?

How do you guys know how much oil you used? Or if I have no idea, does that mean we don't use oil? I think we have gas heat - is that entirely different? Yeah, I'm clueless!

Off to start Father's Day! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all our DIS Dads! May you enjoy your day and a nice fat steak with a cold beer for dinner!

Guess we're doing the soccer thing for Father's Day. Hey, we did it for Mother's Day, so why not?!

Happy Daddy Day to all out there.


and it is still a daddy day if you have a pet.

I had Matt send a Father's Day card to his Uncle, who's also his Godfather. It was a kind of cute, funny one complaining about how no one ever cares about the uncle, etc.

All right - I went out biking with Eric this morning and I'm all sweaty and need to get in the shower and off to a soccer game! Catch you all later!

Good morning all-

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

THanks, mac for the TSA website.
Thanks mac, Barb, Marcie, and anyone else, about the restrictions with boarding the plane. Seems like O'Hare really enforced more rules since we went on the plane last time in June 2004, for Chrissy's Make-A-Wish trip.
I can't believe we have to take off our shoes now?? Good grief I thought that was over with at O'Hare That stinks(no pun intended )

More airplane boarding questions:
For regular luggage, non carry-on, can I pack liquid Benadryl(it's 4 ounces) in our regular suitcase? Any other meds the kids have are pill form.
Any info appreciated.



Other stuff going on- There was a Dadfest at our church, after church services. We have one every year for the past 4 yrs (I think it's been 4 yrs ).
We have old cars, but in really good condition displayed in our huge church parking lot. We also have free food(hot dogs, chips, popcorn, pop).
There was even a band playing 50's, 60's music.
We stayed for a half hour after church and then it poured, so we left. I took some pics of the kids by a few cars, but using the disposable camera, so don't know when the pics will be developed, haven't used up all the film yet.
Then we got home about 8 pm and I watched The Notebook on CBS(channel 2 by me), Never seen it before. I bawled(sp) throughout parts of the movie. The kids were not watching it, just me. Good chick flick movie. I like the ending. I read the synopsis of the movie before, so I knew it would be a tear jerker. During the movie, when the mother hid the letters from the daughter- that would definitely be something my mom would do, as my mom was a control freak w/ me in my teens, early 20's, all the time actually. Enough said on that.
Talking about building an ark, I rented out Evan Almighty over a week ago. It was cute. Didn't care for the p**** word a couple of times( I sensored myself). I guess newer movies try to push the envelope of how much they can get away with in a PG or G rated movie.



Sharon - like the pics of the B & B

Penny- glad you are back
Glad you stopped by.

Hi to all!

Have a good day everyone

if you have an oil tank, you use oil for heating.

it has to be filled in order to have heat.

i had a condo in chicago before that used oil for heating.
i bought the oil from a company and they filled the tank once i paid them.

it is expensive. it also takes the use of electricity when you use oil for heating.

Hi Rose!

I can't remember the last time I haven't had to take shoes off at any airport - even little dinky Green Bay. And even if I'm just wearing Crocs. I think they all just require it as a matter of course now.

You can pack anything in your regular suitcases - as far as toiletries, at least. 16 oz of shampoo, 32 oz of Benadryl, whatever. Just put it in a ziploc bag so you don't end up with a mess just in case it spills. I had this happen with a bottle of cough medicine once and trust me - it was not fun. I ended up just throwing the entire bag away (washed and cleaned what I could out of it but there was no way to "wash" a duffle type bag easily).

Good luck!

Okay - I told you I was clueless! I guess we don't use oil then! Must be gas. Speaking of gas - anyone know how to fix a gas dryer? Ours is working fine but (apparently) makes a horrible screeching sound the entire time it's drying. Not really old - probably had it about 5 years. Fortunately due to my hearing loss I can't hear it, but everyone else in the house refuses to let me run the dryer if they're home. It wasn't a problem when everyone was at work/school all day, but now it's getting hard to find a time to do the laundry! Suggestions? (Besides the "get a new dryer" one!)!

morning rose.

you can put all those meds in your checked luggage without a problem.
only thing is most people put the meds you need in their carry on in case they need that med while flying.

i think you won't have a problem with packing the meds as you are doing a non stop flight. almost impossible for the airline to lose your luggage when you fly non stop.

THanks for the info
I always pack liquid stuff(shampoo, liquid meds,etc) in gallon-size baggies. Done that for years. So I'm used to that.

We have a Kenmore washer and Kenmore gas dryer- Kenmore is made from Sears. For me, I just call Sears to come out and take a look at it.
I hope you can get your dryer fixed soon.

think i am going to watch season 6 of the law and order suv dvd set.

Mac, I love SVU, also the original. Have been watching (actually Tivoing, now DVRing) both, since the first episodes of each

 

[Akdar]

That song is pretty heavy when I opened your page.Brings me back to my
20's and mosh pits

Indeed! I see them almost every week at the local shows I do sound for, a lot of mosh pits, rarely any fights though, they knock each other down, and then help each other up! My son is in the pit a lot, kids..........

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Happy Daddy's Day to all the father's out there!

 

[Akdar]

hey hey hey... first.... Newegg...good. DH bought a desktop there...not disappointed...got everything he wanted and was very pleased. Apparently, a lot of his friends have used Newegg

Dark M, I use Newegg all the time, from hardrives to photography equipment, never have been unhappy. If you get that Lappy, I would think about the 2 year warranty, only because if something happens to the screen, it will cost more to replace and or fix it, (most times anyway), then for the original computer

 

[Akdar]

I have to show you guys what my wife and son made me for Fathers day, my dark side dissers will really appreciate it, I'm going to hang it in my recording studio!

 

[tlinus]

Mike -

What an awesome present!!!

Happy Father's Day to you and all of our other DisDaddys !!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya Bubbas Mom, How can i be of service? If you need the help, that's what I do, help.

Good Afternoon all, second day of 12 hour shift. I get off at 11:00 tonight and leave for Iowa in the morning. An 8 hour drive (or so)with boat in tow. The city I will be in is Cedar Rapids (I believe). My captain and I are going along with two new recruits (both women). Ought to be a blast getting there, but once we arrive, it's all business.

Keep the notes, prayers and thoughts coming. I believe this one will be worse than Indianapolis.
