DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club IX - The Fastest Moving Thread Around

[FreezinRafiki]

To a true OCDer, it should be referred to as CDO - the letters are arranged alphabetically, like they should be. (I have a little CDO-like behavior for some things.)

*EDIT* Oops, I see Rafiki beat me to that one!

Thats OK. This tread moves so fast that even I miss half the stuff I type.

Which gets updated faster, the DDC or the quotes from the Board of Trade?

Well, any good trader gets real time quotes. So obviously, the DDC updates faster.

That's right. Faster than real time. We're pushing the boundaries of the space/time continuum here, fellas.

While my current milestone of 100 posts is nothing compared to many of you, it is pretty big for me. As mainly a lurker on the Dis, I have learned a lot from everyone, and had many laughs. Heck I even got a side job that I know I am going to love from being in the Dis and posting every so often.

I am happy to share so many beliefs, such as the importance of family, with so many gentleman that call the DisDads club home. It have been a pleasure reading along with every one in the club.

There have been so many tragedies in the past years and the support that each and every dad offers to each other, in the form of prayers and support for each other is so overwhelming. I know that there is a place that I can go where no matter what my opinion is each and everyone of you will listen and offer insights without attacking anyone. Having such a diverse group of dads and to be able to have this amount of understanding and support is amazing.

It is amazing to read and share in what everyone has to share and I feel blessed to have a place to go where everyone genuinely cares for each other. It is an honor to be apart of this group and I look forward to many more years of sharing the love of family and Disney with you.

Congratulations on 100! Well stated post.

Well, this morning the Board is pretty active so it isn't even close.











DDC hands down.

Or go on the next Scout campout! There's very little time for staying on line, nor is there a good connection for my phone in those woods. Your best bet will be the third week in June and whichever thread # we'll be up to at that point (XII? XIII? XV? XX? ) since I'll be gone for an entire week, with little to no connectivity.

/me sets his calendar on *stun*

This thread moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

 

[that's nice]

A good web presence should handle most of it - oh, and the following:

1) Need a federal tax id # (easy enough)

2) Someone (or a group of people) to "own" the company. I'm an employee, not an owner. I suck at ownership.

3) IATA (International Air Transportation Association) membership ID (details here)

4) CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) membership ID (details here)

5) some sort of web presence with a form generating system that will dump the user's info to a database to enable profiling of clients and to enable multiple associates (fancy, schmancy) to handle repeat clients if the original associate is unavailable.

6) As I'm already part of a web-based business (current job #3 for me), defining roles is key. We'd need someone to operate as the "heavy" some sort of head management role to handle specific client questions. We'd also need an expediter who would transfer specific quote requests as they come in to different associates. In our business we have 4 designers who take jobs in a round-robin process. Whatever comes in goes first to our manager who delegates the job to us after an initial meeting, then we handle the client contact and manage through to completion. We have a google spreadsheet that tracks all current jobs and maintains all past jobs incase something comes up and we need to support one of those clients. There would also need to be one very trusted person to handle the books (and distribution of commission) or a couple to handle this role.

You know, if people were serious about this.

Well, now that this has been straightened out, where do I sign?

Do you speak whale?

Hhhhheeeeeellllllllllllooooooooooooooo WHHHHHAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!

Oh, and if anyone really is serious about this we should probably take it offline - er, online but not off, uh. To skype! Mostly becasue the DISBoards are owned by a travel agency and they'd not take too kindly to a competator devising doom for them in their midst.

He's trying to hack it to take the last post.

If it were we’d have to close down Madison Ave entirely.

There was a picture in there that corrupted the thread... or at least my mental image of him.

I'd like to join DisDads!!

I have two great kids (DS 4 and DD 7) and a wonderful wife.
Birthday is January 15.

Been to the World over 100 times since August 1972.

We are DVC members at BWV and BLT.

Our last trip was August 2010 and this year we are going in August 2011 and November/December 2011 staying both times at BLT.

My wife and I used to be the crazy ones getting to the park at opening and staying til they kick us out of the Emporium at night. Now, we relish the times just watching our kids having fun, taking breaks, and planning what they want to do next.

Favorite Thrill Attraction is definitely Expedition Everest and my favorite ride to do with the kids is the Teacups!!

Looking forward to the next trip since this will be the first one with kids Without a carseat(s) in tow. Woohoo!!

Will need to learn about signatures and stuff like that. Love the icons that some of you guys have.

Thanks.

Welcome and pull the strap tight cause this one is moving fast
