Also, I watched the Infomercial on Disney Vacation Club. Man, Disney's commercials make me want to buy DVC. Sure, it's their job, but as soon as I have an extra $20 grand laying around, it's all mine.
I looked pretty good, standing in the driveway in my robe, holding a beer, in flip-flops and an IU hat to cover my bed-head, screaming at the kids to get off my lawn.
Dad would have been proud.
Ok, I can handle the robe, beer and flip flops.... but when I saw the part about the IU hat
Sorry, but I couldn't resist... Purdue grad here.
You really need to pick up a pair of bunny slippers!
Been a rough week here...sorry to be a downer...just needed to unload for a minute and then go back to being the strong one again....Wife went to doc on Tuesday and got her Biopsy results of her Thyroid..well..it was cancerous...so surgery is scheduled for next Friday. She is worried of course ....I know exactly how she feels...because believe it or not 16 years ago I had Thyroid cancer myself...mine was Medullary kind and hers is Follicular. Say a little prayer that it is all self contained and that no further treatment after surgery will even be necessary. I have tried to tell her to think of happier things and the upcoming trip in December....Until the surgery is over there will be no feeling of safety for her. I managed to get a few days off to have a long weekend so I can be Mr Mom while she is recovering...Just remember us in your prayers and don't forget about me if I am not on here much for a bit...I am still around...just lurking a bit while other things settle out here
DW backs the Minivan into a post this weekend and puts some nice scratches on our right rear panel...sure I'm not happy...but I'm not mad either accidents happen.
So she drops it off at the shop for repair/paint...it's going to cost us $250 deductable on our insurance...still I'm not mad...not happy either.
I really didn't/haven't say/said anything through the whole deal. So last night she says...uh-oh...I left your TomTom in the van when I dropped it off...you think it will be allright? Then I say..."I guess it will have to be."
Somehow that sets her off into a rant about how I haven't told her how it's OK that this happened...blah blah blah...somehow now I'm the one in trouble??? I must be one of those insensitive jerks you read about.
So I understand what you are talking about.
We're praying for you guys.Hey Dads!!!
Welcome back Fed I am sure your little boy is excited to see Daddy!!!

LOL That is great! Why is she mad?
Soooo...do you own this shirt??? I almost got it a few weeks ago.
So it is now my fault that she forgot to turn off the sink and flooded the laundry room and office.

Remember when I told you I passed a Churk Norris sign on my way to work on Saturday? There was a story on the news tonight about people stealing his signs. Are these people NUTS??? This is Chuck Norris we are talking about here!

Chuck Norris running for probate judge

Norwich, Conn. (WTNH) - A Norwich man named Chuck Norris is running for probate judge, but it seems name recognition may not be such a good thing.
Norris says about 150 of his political signs have been swiped.
"At first it was hurting my feeling because I thought somebody was out to get me," he said.
But when he jumped on the Internet he found that he's acquired somewhat of a cult following and his signs are appearing on several web sites.
"From a financial perspective it's not helping, publicity wise it's obviously it's a help. I just decided I'm going to embrace it," Norris said.
Other than the name there are few similarities between this 45 year old Norwich attorney and father of two and the martial arts star. However this Chuck Norris is a Republican and he's heard this Chuck Norris has supported some GOP candidates.
"I tried to get a hold of him, maybe he'll come out and see me. I haven't heard from him yet," Norris said.
In the meantime he is trying to replace some of the stolen signs and hoping for local support.
Don't cha just hate it when the little angel on your shoulder throws a beat down on the devil on the other. That winged little Nancy boy has ruined so many classic posts for me.(Edited) Not appropriate for family forum...
I guess I am part of this group. I just got back from Disney on Sunday. I been having the Disney Depression. I am so ready to go back. I miss everything about Disney.

Just wanted to say, "Hang in there" and I'm hoping for the best.
My name is Rick and my Wife had been posting on this board for a few years. Joni passed away from cancer July 17th. She was 33 years old and we had just celebrated our 11th Anniversary. We have two children, ages 6 and 4 and we have a trip planned January 16-23, 2011.
We have gone the last four Januarys as a family. This year will be our first as DVC members. My Wife had in her "final wishes" that I purchase a DVC Membership for the children because "Disney was always our special place" and that the children would then "always have Disney" even without Mommy being there.
She was a special woman. She was the definition of someone who fought like hell. She was my best friend and I miss her more than words can describe. Other than each other (and our children), our one love was Disney. We celebrated our 10th Anniversary there as well.
So there is a little back story about me, sorry to bring things "down" a bit. I hope to have a good time on here with all. Take care!
Now this is funny Since he may win on name alone, can he play the part Just by the name he would be a feared judge, if he takes a tough stance on offenders, it could be good for everyone (except offenders)
If Chuck Norris supports Chuck Norris the TV ad could be one of the funniest campain ads going

AFWDWFAN,
It is true, I root for the Cream and Crimson, but really a Black and Gold too (as in DePauw!). I will be going to the Oaken Bucket this year as a guest of Disney Moms Panel member Kay, who is a both a Purdue fan, but also a well known patron. The Volleyball Court/Wrestling Arena next to Mackey is Belin Court, as in Kay and Ron Belin. She is awesome!
If you are going to the game, let me know! We can have a mini Dis-meet!
