Or a Santa costume? Then you could argue you are keeping the holiday spirit all year round. The holiday spirit of eating and drinking to excess.

Pregnancy stretchy pant Santa suit? Sold.

OK, this is the first year I've paid much attention to it, but it seemed a bit strange to me that they designed a course that's so difficult, nobody could finish. I was expecting the satisfaction of at least one person being able to finish and win the million dollars. Maybe I'm too used to Survivor...
.

It's always been that way. One year, two made it to the finals and one won it. No one else has ever made it out of stage 3 in the individual competition. This year was the first time they awarded cash to the person who went the furthest. Think how much money that show made - all volunteer talent, three commentators, and all support staff.

Okay guys...non-Disney vent. Feel free to skip over if you'd like.




Had an appointment for a physical. Nothing complicated, just a physical. Wanted to see how my numbers look after all the weight loss.
Get there 10 minutes early (I always try to be early). 30 minutes after the appointment time, still NOTHING. Go to the receptionist and she asks me if I want to re-schedule. I say no, I'd like my time to be considered at all important and respected and walked out.

I'll buy 100 dole whips for anyone who could point me to a doctor that's worth a flying BLEEP and gives a BLEEP about their patients. At this point, I'm thinking even if it's in another state, it's worth it.

(Okay, rant over).

I have a good one. Former ER doc of 20 years now in private practice. Still, my physical is first appointment in the morning. I don't wait.

Come on up. Seriously, my doc is part of a medical group tied to the local hospital and they send out a survey after every visit even for regular check-ups. I even got "how are you doing" email follow-up and reminder to get with my PCP after Emergency Room visit. They are really focused on the patient experience as much as they are on the medical care, we're pretty lucky.

You have Vanderbilt down there too. Excellent hospital. FIL had surgery there and had RNs taking vitals, something we have CNAs do here to maximize profits and our non-profit hospital. One word - salaries.

Kafenio's (Greek food if you like or are in the mood)

Decided this was what sounded good tonight. Extremely good call - very good gyro. Thanks!

Whatzzzzz up Carl, Great to see your back

Did you see his front? Not as pleasant.

All are welcome here and good to have you back...although for me, since I came in later, you're sorta new for me. Is this the same Carl I'm looking forward to meeting and playing pool with at DDCC7?

Glad you enjoyed it. You're welcome.

Dagnabbit. If only it wasn't so stinking cold up there.

What made it even worse (for me) was I originally had an appointment for first thing Friday morning (I would HOPE she could be on time for the FIRST appointment) and was "called out of town" so it was re-scheduled for today in the middle of the day which is not conducive to work. That's why I walked out 30 minutes past the appointment time. I have better (well okay mandatory) things to do than to wait and my time is valuable too!

Bill them for the missed appointment. They would bill you id you missed it.

Great, there goes the neighborhood! Here, have a Bud Light, Nemmie! Dilly Dilly!

Morning folks. 15 more minutes and I get to head home and sleep.


Sleeeeeeeeeeeeep......

Sleep well and dream of large women.

If I may be so bold as to post a link, there's story from my part of the world that some of you may have heard about, others maybe not.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ror-attacks-kindess-come-from-away/631329001/

I remember this. I wish it still didn't stand out as being a unique story so many years later.

One of my biggest pet peeves. Especially when they are willing to charge you for being late/missing appointments.

I am sure there is no need to go back and back read. I am sure nothing has changed since the last time i was here

Welcome back, Carl!

Don't mind if I do!

I have an ad on this page to stay at coastal Hilton Head Island. Probably not the best time for that ad.

Decided this was what sounded good tonight. Extremely good call - very good gyro. Thanks!

I like gyros. We have two restaurants here - one Italian and the other Greek - opened by two brothers who came over from Greece. One died in his 70s, but their families continue to run the restaurants. Really good, fresh food. The Greek restaurant has gyros and baklava - amazing.

YUP, that's Carl. I posted the as he drives in to post and drives away for a few months.

Afternoon chaps from a drizzly London. Started prepping walls and ceiling for new paints today, so am watching Youtube on Disney.

We repainted.

I still don't like the colour in the back room.

I have an ad on this page to stay at coastal Hilton Head Island. Probably not the best time for that add.

There would be plenty of rooms, I would imagine.

You have Vanderbilt down there too.

I would weigh in on all of this with my option of moving over here, and getting all of the treatment for free. But I won't. That would be unseemly.

The Greek restaurant has gyros and baklava - amazing.

Our Greek is also our steak house. Its one of the few places left that does a really good Tournedo Rossini. We also have a Turkish that does a mixed kebab platter that is fantastic. You can't eat in there though, you just come out of the restaurant smelling like you started the BBQ yourself, so we get it on delivery.

Have a good day boys.

Morning guys. I found out that I have maxed out my vacation accrual so I have to take 2 days off or I wont get this months accrual. So today is my Friday at my main job Whoo Hoo doin a happy dance.
Nothing planned just not gonna be here.

I am sure there is no need to go back and back read. I am sure nothing has changed since the last time i was here

I am moving in . Just finished unpacking. I am back home

Just pick 3 random pages from any of the boards and you will be caught up.
Welcome back, didn't realize you had gone.

There would be plenty of rooms, I would imagine.

And good rates. Might have to get a rain check though.

 

[declansdad]

Morning guys.

I our two days of heavy rain turned in to 1 day of rain and now we are back to a beautiful sunny day. Another full day at the office getting ready to present to a group of university students in a sports marketing class.

Less than 2 weeks to our provincial election and I will get to find out what type of government I will have to work with for another 4 years, good times.

Have a good day all.

Sleep well and dream of large women.

Are you sniffing the paint?
