DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club X: Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas

[BigTex71]

father in law had his pacemaker replaced today. all went well. off to the hosp. this afternoon to visit.

Great news, hope he recovers well.

Being a guy with an analytical mind, this whole gluten thing with me makes no sense. Before we expunged gluten from our house we used to eat bagels all the time. I don't know of any product with more gluten in it. I could eat those all day with no issues at all. In fact, some days we'd just go to Brugger's Bagels, get a dozen and eat them for lunch and dinner. Great stuff! Now, however, if I have a tiny amount of bread in a container of squash casserole, or if I have some bread crumbs in butter that gets worked into my rice I get violently ill.

That makes NO sense to me.

So, in a test of this, I had chinese take-out today. They use soy sauce in their cooking and that has wheat in it. They use communal woks so the chance for cross contamination is high. I did not, however, have anything specifically made of wheat because, well, I wimped out. I had kung pao chicken. It does have soy sauce in it but I'm not sure if that will really give me enough to get sick. Either way, I feel fine.

So what's the damage here? I don't get this! BAH!

Maybe the squash casserole was tainted.

Can you still eat bagels without issues?

I'm taking a pass on this. I do research into asthma & inflammation, & I still can't understand it. There's a ton we dint understand about allergies yet, so who knows why some people react in certain ways. My only advice is that we are overly simplistic in our understanding & beware of anyone who tells you they know the real truth...

Here's my fix:

I'm gonna eat like usual and if I get sick then I'll remove that from my diet. Ta-daa!

All I know is that I've never had trouble eating at flametree bbq or aloha isle.

Hate to hear this, and I certainly wish I could tell you want needs to happen to get it straightened out. Hopefully you’ll figure out what’s causing the problems in the near and be able to get on with the day to day. Take care.

Eventually I won't have to worry about this stuff. I'm looking forward to that day...

Two quick comments:
1) There's been substantial recent research that pretty firmly establishes that there are people who are gluten-sensitive but do not have celiac disease. Having a negative response to a particular meal may have to do with any number of aggregate exposure issues that might trigger a more severe reaction (combinations of allergens or other irritants that might be inconsequential alone, but very uncomfortable in aggregate).

2. Have you had a full allergy assessment done? If you're having extreme responses, it's really worth getting tested. That would allow you to remove right off the top the identified allergens and more easily isolate the problematic foods that aren't tested for.

I've not tried it yet.

Question for you...experienced travelers. If you had your druthers, would you go to WDW in November or December for the Disney Holiday experience? Apart from the Holiday weeks, they're both value season, correct?

Keep in mind, I'm from northern Wisconsin, so cold is a non-issue with us. 40 is still shorts weather as far as I'm concerned.


TL

I have not been either month, but I would like to do the MVMCP. The MNSSHP is great and I'm guessing the other would be as well. Christmas week and following are peak travel times, so once mine are out of school, I would like to go in early Dec and get party as well.

No... though I know I should. I know that I'm going to have to have my rheumatoid factor checked and I'm not looking forward to that so I've been putting off my yearly physical. My wife is at the point of knocking me out and dragging me to the doctor so I'll probably get it in next month.

November. We go in November of every year - it's not cold (warm for us) and the weather is usually very mild. You also don't have to worry about a lot of the rides being closed for refurbishing. Early December is a good time too but that starts to get too cold for my family.

My wife resembles that diagnosis.

Hi, this is scott (who most likely won't figure someone actually calling me this on the dis, so singledad is fine). I am a single dad to one DD. in 19 days we take our 2ed trip to the world as a family, and it is my 5 or 6th trip total. Executive functions, and memory really are not my strong suit.

3ed shifter, so will most likely be reading and replying in the middle of the night.

I haven't been there in those months but my brother in law and sister in law have been down there the week after Thanksgiving 3 years in a row. They are also from Michigan and they said that the weather is usually perfect. They go down for a week and they noticed that as they got further into the week the crowds at the park seemed to go down. Hope this helps and happy planning.

I went on my son's class trip to the farm today, tons of baby animals, a goat had 3 kids right in front of us, but I kinda had a feeling what would be the things a group of 5 years olds would like and be talking about, Animals going to the bathroom

Funny. We went to the Asheboro zoo here in NC several years ago and when we got close to an exhibit, we could hear some kids yelling for their parents. It took a few seconds to hear clearly, but this is what they were saying/screeming: "hurry mom, it's peeing." Over and over and......

Well, I think I figured out how to manage a surprise, no frills, Dec. 2012 trip along with our Jan 2014 familypalooza trip, provided prices don't skyrocket between now and then. The two biggest hurdles (aside from saving the money) are:

1. Convincing my boss to let me off for most of a week during our busiest time of the year (I figure I'll offer to work the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years to take the edge off).
2. Saving up the extra money to offset DW losing a week of work due to non-paid vacation at her workplace.

Both of those should be pretty managable...I think....

Hey dads we are here..landed a half hour earlier than expected...830 this am...but magical xpress was having issues took an hour to get a bus...other than that uneventful...we are in the 60's building with a pool view...wow...kids r having a blast...head to magic kingdom now...I will try to post later.....mark

We've gone at the beginning of November once. Great time to go, very low crowds.

I just got out of the barber's chair a few minutes ago. I now have minimal hair and lost about 15 pounds in the process. Life is good.

How can you be using frowny faces in your title line when you're posting from WDW. That's like, illegal or something! If it isn't, it ought to be!

Yeah, I really want to check out MVMCP, that's my primary reason for wanting to go. DW would kill to go during Halloween time, but that just can't happen with my job. Plus, DD would freak out with all the villains running about.

November. We go in November of every year - it's not cold (warm for us) and the weather is usually very mild. You also don't have to worry about a lot of the rides being closed for refurbishing. Early December is a good time too but that starts to get too cold for my family.

As long as Star Tours is open, everything else is gravy. <==thumb

They are also from Michigan and they said that the weather is usually perfect. They go down for a week and they noticed that as they got further into the week the crowds at the park seemed to go down. Hope this helps and happy planning.

That's the initial week I was looking at, but now I'm looking at the first or second full week of November, as it may be easier on my job. And I'm hoping lower crowds.

We've gone at the beginning of November once. Great time to go, very low crowds.
:

That's my main concern, crowd size. We've been going at the end of January and have been really spoiled by the crowds.

Nice Mike! Get us some more good videos!! My son loved the last ones you posted!

Thanks! I always check a few sites after David has been part of an air show. The best is usually YouTube, of course. Try searching for Blue Angels or the place that had the show (ex. MCAS Beaufort) and then sort for the newest using the relevance feature. The Blue Angels' FB site sometimes has videos, usually posted by the media or the public. I use that site for photos as well as AirShowBuzz.com. I hope to get some good videos and photos at Millville!
I'm glad your son likes the ones I've posted. He could be a future Blue Angel!
