Dave, Prayers going out to you and your wife, She has a great group of Drs. at her side, hoping everything works out on the first try

To lighten the mood somewhat:

I am NOT being extended...and I am NOT being replaced...

I continue my streak of deployments and NO replacement..

My boss in the states sent me a picture of my going away plaque...it has the grim reaper on it.

[Coach81]

Thoughts and prayers out to those affected by the somber news. Happy Tuesday everyone!

nice ticker dadio!!!

Where do I go to set up a ticker. I set mine up but it shows as text on the bottom and not the ticker. Showing as a jpg file. Stupid ticker!

On a far more Somber note...it's a tough day for a couple of buddies who are parents..

My first Sgt at my old PD...his 15 year old daughter passed away yesterday from cancer. Fought it to the bitter end. I remember when she was born. She used to come in and crawl all around us in the Detective office and for years we were her personal play ground...my heart breaks for him

Secondly, my best friend had his 5 year old son get sick. Didn't know what was wrong. He finally got real dizzy and said his "heart hurt". Took to Emergency room in Longview Texas. Ran some tests, and the next thing he knows, they're on a G5 flight to Dallas. Leukemia. Early, and treatable, but still---can you ever be sure?

I tell you...it's hard to be away from my family now, I just want to grab them and hold them close...

Think of them, if you can...and thanks, sorry I know I rarely "go there"...

I will resume normal programming shortly...

(My main defense mechanism for my line of work is "smiling"....just the way I'm wired I guess)

Wow Fed. Definitely praying for those families. Hang in there buddy.

Today my DW hit me with our 2011 trip for WDW, she told me we were going in the beginning of Nov, I had to ask why, She told me Legoland will be opening fall of 2011, Hey a trip to WDW, no backlip coming from me

In most cases all you need is to wait until you find one you like, and click on it, and follow the directions.

 

[wasnotafan]

Fed, praying for your friends. Things like this help keep all things in perspective.

 

[wasnotafan]

Dave, praying that the treatment goes well for your wife

 

[wasnotafan]

finally, CRUD

Freezin', very cool trip report. Erika and I were talking about this tonight and I think we're going to start doing this as well. (Including the C_O cork board map)

My plans for world domination continue to be effective!

Hey, I didn't know we were still posting dream car pictures.

To lighten the mood somewhat:

I am NOT being extended...and I am NOT being replaced...

 

[Disney Commando]

Carl are you going to SP today

 

[Emma's Dad]

Hey DIS Dads,

My wife and I are going on a trip without the kids this time and need to pay a babysitter for about a week of care. Any thoughts on what to pay as this is the first time we cannot use either of our parents.

Thanks

Sorry... don't have any advice for you. Haven't had to pay for a babysitter... YET! Welcome to the club! You are member # 512!

the story about the Muslim girl from Morocco wanting to wear her hijab to work at the Disneyland Resort really touched quite a few nerves last week.the LA Times has posted a fantastic follow-up story of their own about the issue about how Disney is well within their rights to deny the request.

Should be a non-issue. Disney had already offered other positions in the company that would not be public facing and she refused. Her loss. Anyway... welcome to the club! You are member # 513!

Carl, leaving now, if you go, I'm wearing a white t-shirt that say's in huge print------------- You're Fired! on the back I don't bring the cell to the waterpark.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

nice pics barry!!! you'll have to give me the address of that restu., i can feel my chol. going to 400!!!!!

984 Barret Avenue
Louisville, KY

Tell your doc to take his cholesterol test and stick it up his a** - you've got food to eat, man!

Barry sounds like quite an adventure!...what exactly was on that plate? Looked like eggs,bacon and about 2 lbs of cheese

No eggs, but sourdough bread, turkey, tomato, montery jack and cheddar cheeses and a mornay sauce - which is mostly made from cheese.

we will be staying 3 days @AKL..Kidani savannah view, and 3 days @ ssr!

2 very different resorts, but you'll love them both.

On a far more Somber note...it's a tough day for a couple of buddies who are parents..


Think of them, if you can...and thanks, sorry I know I rarely "go there"...

Being a parent is by far the hardest job in the world - especially when you're half a world away.

I am NOT being extended...and I am NOT being replaced...

It looks like you have it right, you just need to put

behind the link you have.

 

[Emma's Dad]

Barry - Great pictures! And sounds like you guys had a good time

Dave - Hope the treatment goes well on Thursday!

Fed - Hearing news about children like that breaks me up. DD is getting a extra big hug from me tonight. I thank God we've been a very healthy family.

Great news on not extending! Maybe you'll be able to get that sand out of yer britches in a few weeks!

Sooooooo... looks like it's going to be a boy hurricane that gets us this week. Earl is going to mess up my Labor Day plans... I just know it! Already got the generator out and gassed up. But if he is going to be more than a cat 1 and is heading our way, I'm outta here. We stayed put when Isabel came through as a tropical storm and that was enough for me. Hope you other East coast dads are preparing!

Hello Fellow dads.

I just cam across this thread, and love the idea, I did not go thru all 100+ pages, but I am a dad and love Disney.

We live just outside of Chicago and my wife and I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter. Our next trip is Oct 24-Nov5. We are driving down, have grown to love the drive down. We are staying the first night at pop (arrival night from straight thru drive. Then moving over to Bay Lake Tower for 3 nights then to the Beach Club for the final 7 nights. This will be my daughters 8th trip, yep 8th and shes not 5 yet. My wife and I honeymooned at Disney and bought into the vacation CLub on our Honeymoon, we own at the beachclub. I do all the planning for our trips, from reserving, to ADR's to which days what park. My wife just sits back and enjoys the ride. She always says if I die she will have no idea on how to plan a trip.

So either way just wanted to pop in and say I love the thread idea, as it seems on most threads its the women planning and conversing on the boards.

Welcome!
Do you take 57 or 65 when you drive? We've driven twice from South East Wisconsin and have taken 65 both times. We're also straight through drivers. Can't stand the idea of paying $100 for a bed we'll be in for 7 hours.
