DDC XXIV - What Bacon Shortage? We're Full Of It!

Consecutive Monday page ownage!

DD got her ears pierced yesterday for the first time. Just walking through the mall and she decided she wanted them pierced. I asked if she was sure and she said yes, but wanted to listen to Disney music while it was done to relax her (she's definitely my daughter and hooked for life). She got birthstone flowers as the starter set, but made it perfectly clear that she expects Tinkerbell earrings for Christmas to put in as soon as the starter ones come out. Anyone seen any good ones for preteens? The ones on Disney.com are all $500 and up. They need to be sterling silver or gold.

Not sure about where online, but we buy a new pair of Disney earrings for dds every trip. They are $10 to $15 for pair. And, my youngest has the sensitive ears as she can't wear the cheap crap, so it has to be the hypoallergenic ones. They have stones by birth month, tinker bell, and all sorts.

Happy birthday James.

So,you're the reason to explain all that productivity.

Well, we may have a use for you. Paul and I were planning on putting a trailer in CJ's front yard and mooching off him. I'm sure there is room for another.

We are waiting on tests that will be done between today and tomorrow to see where the cancer is in his body and whether or not it's treatable. Very somber Thanksgiving this year.

Prayers for BIL & family.

The NASCAR drivers don't stop to pee. Maybe you need to consider that.

Prayers for DW. Have a safe trip.

That was my thought. $2 million after taxes could still buy a nice home near the beach, invest in mutual funds or dividend stocks, and invest some in real estate and/or a business for additional cashflow. I would just have to be a little more careful.

Yeah, but you get to leave him behind soon, right?

Spent Friday in Canton with my side of the family... they are doing well. My mom is still cancer free (8 months now). Drove back on Saturday. Spent yesterday putting in a new A/C register in the upstairs laundry room. Have no idea why the previous owner spent all this time and money to move the washer/drier from the first floor to the second floor and never put in a register for the room. Also spent a few hours getting the Christmas decorations out of the attic. Glad to back at my desk job today

Prayers for your BIL, Don.

Hope it's nothing serious. Keep us posted.

Good point. But running 13.1 miles in a diaper or with a catheter would probably slow me down.

Well it's not trailer like a double wide trailer parts I deal with. Tractor trailer parts , I work as a vendor for the Nashville FedEx Ground hub, we do all the repairs, services and PMs on their trailers and dollys, but I could prob come up with other type trailer stuff if y'all need it haha

Who said any think about a diaper or catheter? Maybe that's why those dry fit shorts were invented?

Turned 10 in October. She was always afraid it would hurt so wouldn't have it done. She just seemed to be ready yesterday. We had gotten her the clip on ones, but she wouldn't wear them because they hurt her ears.

If it helps you can tell DD that it doesn't hurt (according to my DD) and that once it is done you feel much better.

Now on the hunt for Think. At least she did it right before cyber Monday so I can get a good deal somewhere.

I would really prefer to send all of you a card, but I don't have your address and can't afford the cards or postage for everyone. So, hear is a Christmas Card for everyone.

Hmmm. Couldn't find those on the Disney site. Would love to find something under $20. Checking Amazon now. Will let everyone know if I find something interesting.

Mine turns 5 in January ( the day I'm suppose to close on my DVC) so it'll be a great day to celebrate but I think it'll still be a few more years before she wants her ears pierced, her sister got hers done at 6 if I remember right.

Great card pic. I'll post ours if the wife ever gets around to ordering them. Still can't decide what picture to use. Usually it is just the kids as no one has really wanted to see my picture once we had kids.
