Ok. Let's see how this goes since I've never started this before, but it hasn't been done in a long time. The first 3 will be questions you can answer and the last 2 will be whatever you want to say. If you don't like my questions just say they suck and say whatever you want instead.
1. Where did everyone go?
2. Do you get Monday off for Memorial Day? If so how do you plan to take advantage of the extra time?
3. What are your hobbies?
4. Open
5. Open

Re: 5 Things Thursday
1. I've just been wandering around waiting for something interesting to happen. Nothing interesting has happened in a while.
2. Yes, no specific plans. Will probably treat it as an extra Saturday
3. Working out during lunch break, running when I feel like it, bowling (currently on Tuesday nights with my son)
4. My wife is expecting twins this summer so most of my time is spent trying to get all the little projects done before they get here. I imagine there won't be much time for anything else once they're here.
5. Will probably get a summer swim pass and sign my son of for swim lessons this week. We swim in the winter a 2-3 times per month, but he's never had a formal class to teach him the basics. He likes the water, but I can't say his swimming is great.
I get it. I think your rhymes are pretty rad.
1. Where did everyone go? There was some drama on here including some women coming over and attacking some of the dads. Some have migrated to a Facebook Dad's Board.
2. Do you get Monday off for Memorial Day? If so how do you plan to take advantage of the extra time? Yes, may go swimming this Monday if I get the yard work done. I am going to try to relax as I can since I was told that the next few months are going to be kicked into hyper drive. We also start 80/9 for the summer beginning in June through September.
3. What are your hobbies? I am a gamer, I play some type of geeky game at lunch when I can. Friends of mine play AD&D 2nd ed and we have been slowly doing a campaign for the past 3 or 4 years. We are done to playing on a quarterly basis since children are involved.
4. Open I had a Dr with the worse manners ever on Monday. Was surprised that I had a job, surprised that I had insurance, etc. Told me that I didn't need a CPAP and that all of my issues is because of my weight that I have been fighting for the past 12 years while my issues go back to early childhood.
5. Open Next Thursday I get to go back to my other Dr and have a discussion with him that tag he is it. My regular Dr and the other Dr agree that the Dr that tried to pass the buck can't.
OK a 9 month old dad here as of tomorrow. New here on the boards. Lets see what I can come up to.
1. Where did everyone go?
No clue as Im new. I know where I wish I could go. Its been a while since Ive had a few during happy hour with my brother.
2. Do you get Monday off for Memorial Day? If so how do you plan to take advantage of the extra time?
I wish I did. I work out on the water and have to work all major holidays and every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
3. What are your hobbies?
My wife is awesome. Before out LO was born she let me take up golf. Absolutely love it but don't get out as much as I used to. Im taking a ME day once a week so I can pick it back up. At the beginning of this year I took up scuba diving which is a blast. I am a frequent boater but not really a fan as I do it for work.
4. Open
I love to cook but definitely more into BBQing.
5. Open
I came here initially because I felt like the worst dad and husband ever. I was miserable the first 6 or 7 months of LO's life. Not that it was her fault and never took it out on her, but felt that my life as I remember was over. I certainly have an amazing wife for putting up with my petty crap.
2 I should probably ask my boss and find out
3 Bikes ,cars and anything i can get hurt on basiclly. Started hunting and will be picking up fishing again this summer.
4 I wear 13s lol
5 and am not 6'6
2. Do you get Monday off for Memorial Day? If so how do you plan to take advantage of the extra time? Nope, working like a slave trying to make some diaper and formula money.
3. What are your hobbies? Restoring old cars and tractors, repairing electronics, just built a new barn, building and shooting guns, cooking
4. Open We just adopted our first child. He was born on Dec 12 and we lived in a NICU for almost 3 weeks with him before we could make the 500+ mile journey home. Learning this Daddy thing ain't for a 40 year old man but I wouldn't change it for the world. I am fortunate enough to own my company and "schedule" all day meetings with him often. My employee's and customers have no clue and think I am out visiting paying customers.
5. Open If you want to know where the real action is here, check out the Parenting section. Some of those chicks are crazy. I'm trying to figure out which are my ex wives and ex girlfriends. I swear they are there.
I think every board has a topic that will get you attacked. I know the multiples board is asking if you think you're having twins. A few people might say maybe, you never know, keep us posted. Most of them make fun of the person asking. The person asking then gets upset, and then the board says we didn't do anything, why are you mad at us. It's really weird.
1. Where did everyone go?
I've been checking in, or at least trying to, once a week on my days off... but the board has been quiet and I wanted no part in the drama that a couple of the threads stirred up.
2. Do you get Monday off for Memorial Day? If so how do you plan to take advantage of the extra time?
I could get it off, but choose to work it because I get double time, plus the 8 hours holiday pay. It helps pay off bills and save up for vacations.
3. What are your hobbies?
I had hobbies once. My Xbox360 crapped out right as my oldest was born and never had the time/money combo to really feel like it was worth it to go out and get another. I guess watching sports is my main hobby now.
4 and 5 will remain open.
