DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[cj9200]

Happy Saturday. No tennis for me as I led my first, 1st communion Retreat for 22 2nd graders. I came home and started drinking vodka. I only hope it wasn't as bad as I thought it was.

When DD was in 1st Grade, they had an open house so parents could spend the morning in the classroom. I was a wreck about 15 minutes in. Some kid got up during the lesson and washed his hands. Why? I don't know. He left the water running and the teacher while still doing the lesson, walked over to the sink and turned it off. She did not skip a beat. Just one of many instances and I could not wait to get out of there. Dealing with young kids, deserves combat pay in my opinion. Drink up my friend, you deserve it.

Morning boys from London. Rib of beef on the menu today, just getting it up to room temp....
Ended up going through half a bottle of Willets with my Stepdad and a large Cohiba last night, so maybe a quiet one today with no running....

At MCO now and have 4 hours til my flught to D.C. And then on to Zurich from there.

Welcome to our side of the pond Mike, looks like you had a cracker at WDW.

If they get past Virginia, at least it makes it easier to go to the Elite 8.

I still fancy Gonzaga to go all the way.

I didn't do a bracket either. But, I'll enjoy a bourbon as well with you

Yep, we need to do this next year. The bracket. The bourbon goes without saying.

The Christmas-winter hibernation-Easter period is not kind on my waistline.

See, if you didn't have a snow blower, you could eat all the mini eggs you wanted....

Happy Sunday. Made it thru all the church work this AM, and onto swim banquet for oldest dd at High School. Looking forward to going home and getting some rest.

I don't know how elementary teachers do it all day. Maybe they all just stay drunk all the time.

we did a Disdad one for several years. I guess Chris didn't send out invites this year, or he did, and didn't include us.

Evening Gents.

I think I'm finally home for awhile. We returned from our basketball journey into Southern Maine an hour or so ago and I am tired of travelling. It was a good weekend though, DS and his team went 4 and 0 over the two days, Kentucky won and I still have a chance in my two brackets. We'll see how these late games go.

To top it all off my alma mater, UNB clinched it's second consecutive national hockey championship this afternoon on home ice with a 5-3 win.

We just use the dryer.

We do in the winter but once the weather starts to warm up we'll start hanging them outside again.

A double dose of Beverly this morning, at 1:50 AM to be more precise. My credit card was compromised for a home furniture/ tool purchase. At least they could have bought something fun. So, I called cc company and they are sending me a new card. Then, I have to remember to change my accounts to new numbers. Argh......

At least it will get here before the Disney trip. This is the first hack I've had on my credit card. I'd go to a cash system if I didn't have to walk inside to prepay for gas.

it was a good game for the Cats. UCLA and probably NC makes for a tough road.

Sorry to hear about the card, glad it was caught before there was too much damage.

We were listening to the Kentucky game on the radio while driving. We heard it all except for the last two minutes or so when we lost the station.

That sucks.... been there. Right before a trip to Disney too.

That's annoying. Happened to me recently as well. I was checking my statement and happened to find a couple of purchases I didn't recognize.

Companies could make this a lot easier if they just wouldn't charge for stuff.

Thanks. I don't care as much about the money since that is not on me. It's the time to change all the other accounts that annoys me.

It should be here in time. Now to get the old one switched out of Disney's system.

There is an easier way. They could verify a purchase via text message connected to the account. But, they realize it's better for consumers to buy more without taking anytime to reconsider.

Probably. I just wanted free stuff.

Sorry buddy, looks like though you weren't stung too bad, but sorting all that admin is a right pita. At least I'm in the clear, the idea that the British would undertake something nefarious against a US citizen is unthinkable........

Happy Extraterrestrial Abduction Day.

And to you, earthling.

Thanks. I know it wasn't any disdads who hacked the card, as there were no purchases for beer, bacon, bourbon, cake, dole whips, ......

Oh no.... not again....

It will never die...

Yep, it's a pain but an unfortunate part of modern life. I had it once too. In my case it was just a precaution, they said a place I used it at had their data compromised, so the bank cancelled my card. Calling to change automatic bill payments is the worst. But better safe than sorry I guess.

Morning Guys.

Welcome to Tuesday.

That sucks. BoA is constantly changing my cards. Decided to have my bills come directly from the account and not the card. Saves a lot of hassle. Just got a new card for the kid and luckily only have to inform her cell service.

t was a good game for the Cats. UCLA and probably NC makes for a tough road.

I had the Gators going to the Sweet 16 but no further. Who knows how far now with both Duke and Nova out. They just have to get past the Sconies and they could make it to the Final 4.

Companies could make this a lot easier if they just wouldn't charge for stuff.

Agree, totally agree.

Thanks. I know it wasn't any disdads who hacked the card, as there were no purchases for beer, bacon, bourbon, cake, dole whips, ......

Thankfully it wan't one of our own.

Welcome to Tuesday.

Yea.

Happy Tuesday. Back to the 140 daily commute this week to campus. In better news, youngest dd won her first HS tennis match last night 8-1. They will have another match tonight with a more difficult opponent.

That's what I'll be doing over the next few days when the new card gets in.

Yea.

The only problem with just having it on the bank account is if it gets hacked, then it's your money. The bank is responsible to replace it if it is fraud, but they don't have to do it timely. I have my local utilities on direct bank draft because I set it up that way years ago. I really need to change it.

Thanks. The problem with that 800 DisDad is figuring out the Golden Oak rotation, and who gets which bathroom when.

Well we all know you go last cause noone will use it after you get done.

Looking forward to your report. I'm hoping to do one from this trip but this week has been crazy.

Dont worry about finishing the trip reports. None of us do, mine from 2013 stopped after day 3 and I never even started one from my 2015 trip.

Well, it's not as good as the last phone. It may be time to change to iPhone the next time.

Dont do it its a conspiracy, once every American switches to i-Phone then Apple can hack our brains and upload Steve Jobs consciousness into us.
Also I think you and I are the last 2 people on the planet with Windows phones, tech support will stop if I'm the only one.
