Getting sleepy with a touch of

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

That's Great news Chris, praying he makes a full recovery

We just arrived home to WDW

Congrats

Blargh.
Nothing like heading up to bed at midnight, and discovering a pile of kid puke on the bed when you get there.

Apparently, Squeaker went into our room looking of us last night. DW was in the guest room with The Bug (long story, not really relevant here). I was downstairs watching basketball. He said he, "couldn't see me, because it was dark." He puked, and then just put himself back to bed.

When I noticed what had happened, I checked to make sure Squeaker was OK, stripped the bed, changed the sheets, and then brought him into the newly-cleaned-up bed with me for the night. He seemed just fine this morning, so it must have either been something he ate or just too much sinus drainage. Of course, it meant that I was up on and off all night, as Squeaker has this habit of turning horizontal in the bed and "head-butting" in his sleep (for lack of a better term).

Needless to say, I called in and took a day of leave for today.

It's thimgs like these that make us dad's

Do not be alarmed.

Two in a row!

He's on fire .......

Is it just me getting old or is there really a decline in the manners of younger people??

Last night at dinner we wet out to Cracker Barrel (fish dinner - Friday Lent) and i counted at least five guys with hats on. My mother would have pulled out her whooping hand and cut that thing off the top of my head.

I also so a couple of young men (late teens) cut in front of two elderly women to the doors which the slammed in front of the women.

Aren't we allowed to pull them back by the ears and make them apologize or something......

Maybe I am turning into a prude

We need to pull their parents by their ears for not teaching good manners to their kids.

 

[Emma's Dad]

Welcome!! It is great to have another soldier on here. This place is getting overrun by sailors. (sorry Don couldn't resist) Thanks for your service and stay safe!!

Yeah... but sailors know how to get the party started right...

I know I am cheating but...

I WANTED OWNAGE OF PAGE 100 WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

Congrats, Kevin! Even if there was a little cheating going on

I guess Don will be starting Dis Dads VIII by the end of the month 10days 100 pgs, 10pgs avg a day Cabin Fever is in full effect

I have a feeling this may be the new pace with all the new dads arriving... and actually contributing to the conversations. Just wished I could get disdads.com at work... we could really explode that web site usage with our own message board!

Unfortunately, we have several problems I've been noticing... these are merely my own opinion and observations:
1. Parenting methods have changed... like, they don't even care what their kids do.
2. Kids know they can be rude and get away with it... no consequences other than getting yelled at. And oh how they are used to getting yelled at... as there rear ends have never met the business side of a belt.
3. It's all about THEM, THEM, THEM. Some of them have never been told what manners are. Hard to believe, but true.

Actually, this is a good time to point you guys to an effort by parents to prevent the government from taking away our parenting rights. I have yet to see the dvd that gives more information about what the government is trying to do, but in a nutshell we are trying to add amendments to the constitution that guarantees our rights as parents to make decisions for our kids. You would think this is already in there, but it isn't. Anyway... check it out for yourself:

http://www.parentalrights.org/

I did not know about this until a friend explained it to me. Imagine the government being about to come into your house and take your kid(s) without even evidence of wrongdoing.

I keep tossing the idea around of getting one...you will have to keep me updated on how satisfied youa re with it....and if it was worth the money to get the newer version

Well for me, the $100 difference between the old version and the new one to get something with two cameras, lighter and thinner chasis, and faster processor was worth it. I like the cameras to be able to FaceTime or Skype while I'm away from the family.

So far...it's pretty darn nice.

That's awesome news, Chris!

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.

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 and thanks for your service to our great nation! Navy vet here with a son in the Navy.

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..

Glad to hear she's OK. A doctor I work with has family between the earthquake area and Tokyo and he heard they are fine.

 

[Wherem I Now]

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.

Nah, Just a little lighthearted ribbing directed at Nate. He mentioned on Stopher's TR that he and his family weren't morning people.

I do feel now that DW and I may have to make a point of visiting Le Cellier when we have our day at EPCOT after our cruise in May. After so many raving reviews, how can I not try this one out?

Welcome to the club! Another dad spent last fall at (his words) "Uncle Sam's Sandbox of Misfit Toys", and so try to be safe. Also, CBR was great when I stayed there in 2000. Finally, Drinking around the world is one thing I'd REALLY like to do "right", with the 7 hours and the passport, but 4 munchkins keep that from happening. I do have a couple passports though, if you're interested.

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

I can barely figure out my iPod Touch. IPad is beyond me for now. (I'm saving up for a Epiphone Les Paul and a 10 yr anniversary dinner)

I don't want to take sides, BUT, I'll play devil's advocate anyway. When we were younger (15/16/17) I'm sure there were times when we drove too fast & cut people off. Or not being "rude" but just not seeing someone else 'cause you didn't yet know to pay attention. Finally, while I 100% agree that hats at restaurants are AWFUL, if there isn't an established dress code, there's nothing a restaurant can do. And SOME of those kids, do you really want to see their hairstyles?

So, before we say "those darn kids" let's remember we too did SOME similar items.

NOW, all that being said, some kids out there DO need a good smack upside the head for knocking over an old lady to get first in line at Cracker Barrell!

The one thing I love about NOT being at Dinsey World.... is a nice cup of coffee in the morning.

And what do I get for OWNING this page?

I hear ya. Has anyone found a decent cup of coffee in Disney?

Only at Kona Cafe

Steve, as I understand it this is the model for Apple:
1) Release revolutionary new product.
2) Sell 15 million new products.
3) Wait 1 year.
4) Add $15 worth of upgrades and drop version 1's price.
5) Sell 15 million new products.
6) Repeat

So if you can live without the cameras, I would expect within 6 months to a year, an iPad 1 will sell for $100 or less. Something to consider....

Of course, I could be wrong...

Yeah, I think you're wrong on this one. Apple's already stopped making iPad 1. In 6 months to a year, the only iPad 1's on the market will be used or refurbs.

New page comes every 15 post. I couldn't stop myself when I seen that I had made post #1500, so I took #1501

Is it just me getting old or is there really a decline in the manners of younger people??

The "bad" kids certainly stand out. Not holding doors, swearing in front of women and children, or hats indoors all seem more prevalent. It's hard to blame the kids for what they are not being taught. My folks would have roasted me for any of the above!

I agree! think I'll make me a pot now!
