DDC XXVI: They all went to the DDCC and all we got was this Lousy Thread!

You know, I just found out there was an app for this. I may be able to keep up after all!

And it's pretty easy to multi-quote in it too.

 

[JHMCARTY]

And yes, I am at work, is that counter productive?

I'm not up to speed with that yet... Hope I'm doing it right.

What is post padding?

Don't even start that topic again!

We did early check in too, and I still set my alarm to check in exactly 24 hours before our flight left. We are still in the back of A. Is your placement in A based on when you purchase the flight, when you register, based on your fare type or based on your status or some combination?




I'm guessing your being every bit as productive as I am. Just got an email confirming our Friday Night BOG dinner reservation.

I think it's based on when you purchase early check in. I did so just this week, so probably got stuck behind everyone else who did it...

Nice job on BOG! Can't wait to hear about it!

Thank you

For clearing

that up.

I'm still...

not sure......

Way to go from potential trouble to a compliment almost instantaneously. I give you permission to take the rest of the day off.

Thanks Ryan!

Take a long lunch!

I don't get a lunch today - I'm by myself.

See you tomorrow!

Well done

I should thank my partner in my department for being so BAD lately. Made me look real good!

But - fo' real - I've got mad skills!

 

[mm1971]

Thank you

that up.

I understand.

I've been praying and thinking about the things I desire to teach my children a lot recently. I think I'm frustrated by the number of rules we've had to create thinking that if they had the right basis for their behavior we'd need fewer rules. DW and I wound up boiling down everything to 3 values we want our family to stick too.

1. Love God
2. Love Others
3. Do your best.

This third value has us echo'ing a shortened version of Bill and Ted's Slogan to each other a lot. "Be Excellent".

I've been thinking about this a lot and I'm curious if you guys had to boil it down to 3 things what values would you want your kids to pick up?

My 1 and 2 would be the same as yours. When I try to think of a #3, I think it ends up being a sub-value of #1. An argument could be made that your #3 and #2 are just off-shoots of #1 (and that's a good thing).

But if I had to have value #3, it may be "be fearless". (again an offshoot of #1). Either that or "have fun".

Hi, Fed!





Well done, sir!

Have a great weekend, guys! Boarding passes printed, mentally already there, just need to get through a day of meetings and admin work! Will post lots of updates on FB and tumblr (if I can figure that out!)

Have a safe trip... see you Friday!

Have a good time Chris.

Safe travels. Have a great time!

 

[JHMCARTY]

I guess I should be inventorying some Poland springs or something right now.

We are missing 12 cases of shrimp, anyone know where it is?

This is too easy... I like this app

 

[mm1971]

Looking forward to the updates!

Who you got for the first Dad to be thrown out of the parks? I have dibs on Barry.

You mean no one has been thrown out yet? You do know that there are already a bunch of guys down there. If I had to guess, Barry may be a good choice. Of course it may be several at once too.

 

[mm1971]

Yikes....page 5?!?

Boss was on a rampage this morning.....thought for a while that my DDC trip might get kiboshed at the last minute!

Suppose I should've told him about these two days off a while ago.

But then he comes into my office and says how he's been real happy with my performance as of late and all the responsbility I've taken on hasn't gone unnoticed.



8 more hours till I'm busting out of this place!

That may change when he comes looking for you tomorrow and your not there. I guess you can tell him you had a responsibility to be at the DDC. Safe Travels.

We use the three general rules:

1) Respect others and treat them as you expect to be treated.

2) Respect yourself and always give your best effort.

3) Always be humble and help those less fortunate than we are when possible.

It is pretty similar. Never even thought to add god in there as a rule. I guess Sunday mass and the fact that religion has always been a part of our lives we take it as a expected. Like your list as well.

Not only is it productive, it is supported and endorsed by all the dads

 

[disdadIL]

Bye convention dads. Enjoy Florida. Post lots of pics on FB if you can. If not, drink lots of Beverly. Or not

So I'll see it in my review?

Ryan, looks like you and I had this conversation a while back when I posted about it at the other site:

But the first two you mentioned are the ones laid out for us in Scripture by God Himself, so that seems like a great place to start! Outward behavior reflects the desires of the heart, so it's the desires of the child's heart that we need to address. Do you want what's best for you, or do you think about others first?
