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

Real life update.

DW and I are considering buying a different house.
Why, you might ask. (You might not).

I kinda rushed into this house because I didn't want to pay ridiculous amounts of rent.
DW wants a pool and to put in a pool would cost ~100K
DW wants gas for cooking. Probably another ~15K
Even though we have the same space we had in our house in GA, we don't have a full basement or a 12'x20' shed.
In other words, even though we downsized, we still have too much carp.
The church we found and like is on the other side of the nature preserve, so it's a 30 minute drive regardless of which way we go around.

So, all of these combined have made us start looking at other options.
You did have lots of stuff with not a lot of room for it (it seemed to me).
Good luck with the house hunting.


Wait...
Is this just a way to make sure I can't track you down, next time I'm in the area?

Huh. That's pretty smart.
Pricey... but smart.
Good to have you back @pkondz
You haven't missed much. Besides the usual intellectual banter.
Thanks, Jeff. :)
 
And in a bit of irony, I didn't realize I had 2 university holiday pay days this week. I guess that was good since I didn't bother to go to the office on Monday.

My children's godmother died. She was not blood related, but someone I considered special enough to hold that role. Her funeral is tomorrow. So, I've been drinking lots of tequila. She was only in her 60s. Enjoy life while we have it.

Good way of looking at it. *slides back under desk*

I've made it my life's work to get out of work.

Let's see... if we eliminated Monday to Friday, the weekends would become meaningless... so we need to keep something. I vote we keep hump day... and Friday. Everyone's always happy when it's Friday.

As long as the net result is I work less hours, then I approve whatever plan.

See there was some more great officiating in the Packers/Lions game last night. The only league with worse officials is the NBA.

The NBA. Where traveling is a non-existent call.

Turkey turned out well, could have cooked a bit more but just something to remember for next time.

And you didn't even use my brine recipe. Deep fried turkey is the best. And most dangerous cooking method, especially when you're already drunk on Thanksgiving.

DW and I still are debating, which really means she hasn't made up her mind. I want to go beach condo. Sure, monthly HOA fees suck. So, how much is an ocean view worth? We've talked about a Celebration condo as well. There are still dues with that. I've got the crazy idea of buying a duplex, living in one side, and renting the other. Good luck.

Brutal calls. It's been a joke across the league this year.

Even worse when they can't get them right with replay. Everything is reviewable or nothing is.

Yeah. We were supposed to downsize, but while I downsized and everything I have or want is in one room, she....well...let's just say has the rest of the house.

Wait...

Dang...busted!

You’re right, enjoy life while we can.
 
Having met with The Committee of Old Men who Run the Universe about cancelling Monday, it has been decided the the day cannot be deleted as it will destroy all Space and Time. But, they have given the option of changing the name of Monday, your choices are:

Friday Part Deux
or
1st Tuesday followed by 2nd Tuesday

Please let me know what you want to call it so I can let TCOOMWRTU know, and they thank you for your input.

I vote 1st Tuesday followed by 2nd Tuesday
 
but it can never be stated enough.
You speak truth!

Friday Part Deux
or
1st Tuesday followed by 2nd Tuesday
My write in vote is...

It sucks the weekend is over and work thinks you should do 3 days worth of work now DAY


Kinda like when you get back from vacation...all the work has piled up while you're gone and it drains all the joy of the vacation immediately.

Oooh...another option
Suck the life out of me DAY

I'm more with Doc, "suck the life out of me day", but prefer "Suckday".

Damn, these are good. Wish I could change my vote. If I could change my vote, it'd be "Suckday."

I'm sorry for your loss, Norm.

It has come to my attention that mornings suck. I already knew this, and so does everyone else, but it can never be stated enough.

The exception is the morning of the day you leave for vacation. And Christmas morning.

Friday Part Deux
or
1st Tuesday followed by 2nd Tuesday

I know it definitely doesn't feel like a Friday.

I'm more with Doc, "suck the life out of me day", but prefer "Suckday".

Suckday works for me!
 
Sorry to hear that.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sorry Norm. Prayers for you and family.

Sorry for your loss Norm.

Sorry to hear this Norm.
You’re right, enjoy life while we can.

I'm sorry for your loss, Norm.

Thanks guys for your prayers and support.

As for the changing of the name of Monday, Mark already gave you some exceptions. Other exceptions might include your birthday, anniversary, or other family members special days that fall on Monday. Then, there is life after retirement where every Monday as well as every day is just a Friday.

It's like how Magical Express becomes Tragical Express, depending on which day of your vacation it is.

So, maybe Monday could be Funday or Suckday, depending on where it falls in your current calendar.
