Cancel the trip, buy the milling machine, trust me you'll hear about that trip more this way, and for many years to come. :)

I bet when you get back you hardly speak of the trip.


Do it my way and you'll have conversation for years and years... :)

what kind of mill? if it is a real mill not a toy mill=drill. buy it and go to fl. if it is a mill-grill. then she saved you alot of trouble.

Buncha troublemakers... there isn't a one of them that wouldn't have put their kids first either. :rolleyes:

Congrats on the trip! Our family has some really great memories from Disney. Try to keep your money in your pocket at the park. That place is purpose designed to drain funds. It is awful easy to spend way over your budget.

You got your priorities straight...make memories with the kids while you still can. Go and take plenty of pictures and enjoy your family...there will be time later in your life when you can fulfill your need for personal stuff.

God first....family next....others then....self last

If you like Irish beer go downtown. Two places have good, Irish beer. Last time we went I went mostly for the beer! Only been twice, too. The Irish eating place has good food, but expensive.

Only interesting thing in Disney World is the machine shops. Yeah, machine shops - all that hydraulic-mechanical fooferaw takes a heap of maintainin'

But the public ain't allowed in there . . . . .

Yep, I was just thinkin'........those guys are all single, or will be shortly if they keep that attitude. LOL Got to Florida, have some fun, and explain to the wife that next year is your turn, and buy the mill then. Everyone is happy and no hassle!
