DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club VII - Oh Peanut Butter...

[carlnix30]

alright! I have been up since 2:30 am worried sick about my sons wife stationed misawa Japan!.. he is currently deployed in kuwait and his wife was home alone.. according to the news they were missed by the tsunami by a 30 minute drive! I just heard from her about an hour ago.. they have been without power, internet or cell service until now.. she is now in a generator powered building.. soo she is good to go. I just cant believe that it missed her by that little! like all of you seeing the tsunami rolling in.. and the vortex in the ocean just scared the PEANUT BUTTER out of me! just reminds me of how small we are compared to the world..

disneyland tokyo was hit with ground liquifaction.. but the reports are saying no injuries..

how fortunate we are to be here..

Generally, Friday afternoon news is bad news, but today I have some good news to share.

My dad just called on his way home from the Oncologist. He's been enrolled in a placebo-controlled trial of MDV-3100 (anytime your drug doesn't have a name yet, that's usually not a good sign). But on his bone scan today, his cancer has regressed, and his lymph nodes are clear! That means that he is likely getting the drug (not the placebo) and that it is working (for now)



Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Chris

Great to hear! Certainly good news!

I am new to DISboards, but not to WDW. While perusing this site, I did notice the overall lack of testosterone. I am grateful to have found this little sanctuary.

Welcome to the pack! We will get you your leather jacket with the mickey skull and crossbones out as soon as possible. DisDocDad will serve up your first gang tat!

Was watching the earthquake and Tsunami on the news... it was tossing cars around like hot wheels. Brutal.

Makes you feel so helpless...

All you can do is pray for those affected, and for a safe and quick cleanup.

Wow! I've been watching streaming video from Japan and other sources all day and am amazed at the force of nature. Glad to hear everything is fine.

Welcome Sushi.

The disboards are a great place to get info when planning for a Disney trip. and while there are smatterings of masculinity throughout the board this place is definitely the testosteroniest, hence the smell.... or maybe that's the Taco Bell.

You missed it.

I was hoping my shirt from Vistaprint would come today so I could upload a picture of the back, but it didn't come today. It showed the low resolution error even with the hi-res image.

This is the back of the shirt.

 

[brattosa]

You missed

I did, indeed, but I'm now 2 posts closer.

Hey guys. CRUD. Its been a long week.

Good news is when I got home tonight I found my new headset had arrived.

Got a Logitech headset for $18 at net world overstock. (retail is ~$40). Tried it out tonight and installed Skype and all work fine.

Prayers go out to everyone on Japan and I hope that the aftershocks are not too bad.

Hey Don, still doing P90X?

I think I'm going to start doing a few of the workouts without the DVD's now. I'm just going to use the chart to do the Chest and Back workout tonight while I have some basketball on TV.

Oh yeah! Did the leg workout this morning... Oh those one-legged wall stands are killer! Good luck doing the workout without the dvd

So about me and mine....

I am 26, the wife is 28, and my amazing son is 3 (Yes, he gets his awesomeness from me). My wife is a teacher, and I am an Infantryman in the Army. I am currently in Afghanistan, and trying to plan a trip to WDW in October, when I get home. It is very difficult to plan a trip to WDW, let alone trying to do so in a third world country.

I have been going to WDW at least once a year since I was 4 or 5. I have seen and done a lot of it, although not all of it. My wife went one time before she met me, as part of a cheer leading program. Our first experience together, we stayed off site, about 40mins away from Disney, because we were broke. Actually, I was broke, she was a poor teacher. I joined the Army after that, and used my signing bonus for our honeymoon (we actually got married several months before going, but our schedules wouldn't allow us to do a proper honeymoon). We stayed at CBR, which was awesome. Since then, we've gone back twice. Once after my last deployment, we stayed at the Beach Club. And last year right before I deployed this time. We stayed off site at my dad's time share with the rest of our family on that side.

Our next trip we will be going in October, after I get back. It actually works out nicely, because I have never done the FWF. And it will be my birthday Bonus! The wife said I could do the drinking around the world. I am very excited.

Welcome to the testosterone room. Feel free to move the beer cans around to find a spot to sit. Thanks for your service to our fine country... plenty of veterans here, too (yours truly included).

Beverly. SUcks. Want to beat us, put us on the charity stripe. Same as it was 25 years ago. I should give them up for Lent.

It can do some damage, can't it


It is hard to keep up with you guys. I have to read 5-10 pages every time I come back. As I'm reading, I always find something in the middle that I can comment on (example: taco bell), but there is so much chatter 2 or 3 people have already said what I would have said. Stay out of my mind! It's creepy!

Finally got the chance to download and listen to the Podcast today. Glad that it finally shows up on Itunes. That was fun. Although, I did notice that someone seemed to be missing on the subject of making rope drops...

Awesome news Chris! Glad it's a good news Friday for once.

 

[scott2997]

Oh...and speaking of good news Friday...

Just thought I'd stop by and rub it in that I'm currently typing this on my iPad 2.

Oh yes...sooo nice

Was that when Carl was missing? If so, he wasn't abstaining from the rope drop discussion. His connection to our Skype call dropped, and it took a bit to figure out how to reconnect him without messing up the recording.
