‘Morning all…
Nothing to report but I do hope that the world is treating y’all well.
It sounds a lot like the Keto diet. I don't eat excess fat or take any supplements, just stay under 30 carbs a day, which ain't a lot. There are carbs in fruits and vegetables, so I limit those. I eat a meat and cheese, and usually a cole slaw or salad. I switched to water beer (Miller Lite) which has 3.? carbs. For the first time in my life, I'm not hungry for food all the time. I think the end/ maintenance limit is 100 carbs a day, but I won't get there for quite awhile.
Nope, no supplements or adding of extra anything. Don’t work very hard on counting anything either other than to note how much sugar was added to a product (and generally avoid those things). Meat, dairy, veg and fruit pretty much rule the plate. We’ll be having brats & kraut tonight (one of our favorites). Might even allow myself a beer as desert. It took a while for me to get to where I wasn’t always hungry, but that’s not been an issue for some time. On those occasions where I just can’t stand it I’ll either grab a hand full of nuts (generally cashews) or a piece of jerky. Those generally curb the muchies.
Checking in, as Rob would say the "overlords" are here from Switzerland for budget meetings over the next few days.
Overlords are a pain in the…
Ahem…
May you survive the meeting and may those “Seagull Managers” fly away soon.
Hello everyone! I am new to this place and this thread in specific. Once I saw a thread dedicated to other dads who enjoy disney as much as their kids (if not more sometimes) I felt compelled to look in. I am excited to get to know you all. I am 29 years old, I have two children 9 and 4. I have always dreamed of being an imagineer and am trying to move closer to that goal day by day. Thank you for setting up a place like this and nice to meet you all.
Welcome sir.
We’re glad to have you along.
Just grab a beer from the clubhouse fridge, kick the empty pizza boxes out of the way and join in.
Where about do you live and what are you doing toward becoming an imagineer?
Got back back from Sherbrooke, Quebec a bit later than expected. We lost in the bronze medal match yesterday and as a result never left the gym until about 8 pm. Given the fact that we were in the gym for just about 12 hours and the drive home takes almost 8 hours we opted to stop along the way and drive home today.
I did get back in time to run to the office, grab the files I need to meetings in Winnipeg this week. Flying out tomorrow around lunch.
A good run and a tough loss I’m sure.
You’ve become quit the road warrior of late.
How many more work trip do they got planned for you the rest of the year?
There were 20 pages of post since the last time I read one. Made it about 4 post and just skipped to the end. I'm sure I didn't miss anything important.
Know us well, don’t ya’?
So my oldest informed me I was taking her and her boyfriend to Disney for her 21st birthday, so she can drink around the world and do the monorail crawl . At least she gave me a heads up, so I'm now planning a May 2021 trip.
Ya’ gott’a love it when your young’ens decide to dictate terms.
I'm probably paying for her room and park ticket. I have to pay for me and DW anyway. The BF is on his own. And she has to bring cash for the drinks.
Well… if y’all are going anyway.
Actually, this sounds like a fair plan, if you’ve got the funds to make it happen (more on that in a minute).
Evening fellas. Of course it’s probably Tuesday for most of you. Checked into Aulani today and survived the food run to Target (staying on our DVC points in a 1-bedroom, so we’re taking full advantage of the full size fridge). Also when we got to HNL car rental dude did the free upgrade to a Mercedes GL 250 with 54 miles on it.
It’s a tough job you got there but someone has to do it.
Take advantage of the amenities and have fun storming the islands.
I’m being curious and wondering what everyone thinks in general about travel with older children. When is the cut off when you say “you’re old enough, this trip is at your expense”? The next trip I take (whenever that is) oldest DD will be 20+. All our previous trips I paid for everything. Just trying to figure out how that should change.
Interesting…
Lot of factors that can go into that one, but the big ones for us are 1) do the kids have the extra cash to travel anywhere at all (much less Disney), and 2) do you care. I’m not being facetious. It’s just a function of are you going anyway and would you like to have them come along. Our young’en is still trying to get his world organized and doesn’t have extra cash to do pretty much anything. As a result, we have taken at least one trip to Da’ World without him (and have another one planed actually, but that’s a different story). Now, all that said, we would really like to have him along with us at Da’ World (especially his momma) so we are also thinking about putting together a trip and offering to pay for the ticket and room, but leave the expenses up to him. At least that’s the plan, but it’s also very contingent on whether or not I remain employed, so we’ll see.
So I'm paying for us to go and she gets to pay for what she wants to do when she gets there. The BF is on his own. I'm really hoping they're not still together when we get ready to make this trip anyway I don't like the guy
You’ve got a daughter… Somehow, I don’t see you liking any guy.
We all know that not a one of us was ever good enough to suit our father-in-laws and that’s not something that’ll be changing any time in the future (or for any generation).
WELCOME TO THE DISDAD'S CLUB drmfnder!
