Fun things you do with your officiating $$
 

Ok I'll start.

I took the family to Disney in Florida for a week. I saved all my checks for a few months.

My kids and wife spend alot if time without me during the season so they deserved it.

Hey wait...you guys get paid for this...? :confused:

42 inch HD TV with surround sound. Hoops are unbelievable to watch. Hard to watch anything not in HD anymore. March madness is awesome!!!

I thoroughly enjoy paying bills with my hard earned officiating money :D

Ditto. And summer camps -- usually $1500 - $2000 in camp costs.

Same thing, but mine also has a feature to blank the video while only having the audio present. :D

Every year by April 1st my credit cards are paid down to $0.00.

G/f and I are going to Orange County, CA and Las Vegas in May and the plane tickets were paid for by officiating money.

Any extra money helps with my annual allotment of 2 out-of-town camps (this year there is actually a big camp in town, but it will still cost me $400).

Dinners out, 40 inch flat screen, poker with the boys, cigars. The rest I spend foolishly.

Fun things to do with Ref Money
 

Help pay for my son's college costs.......hey, he thinks college is fun! :rolleyes:

Seriously though, golf expenses and maybe a night out, but I mostly just roll it back in to my normal bills......I mean I'm not in it for the $, I'm in to exercise, wear cool clothes, and attract members of the opposite sex! :D (may they never meet my wife).

All the money I make, it goes to a savings account for my unborn children's college fund. My wife gives me some allowance, but other than that, I'm broke!

Seasons past it's paid for spring break vacation for the family...lot's of dinners out...Last weekend I had to pop for new tires on the car so the weekly money always comes in handy...

This year though we have been paying down credit cards...have two paid off and one left...It's a nice feeling...

Football this year, 52" Sharp Aquous LCD. :D

Basketball, into the money market account for a house we are presently remodeling.

This season volleyball and basketball earnings were set aside to pay for my daughter's sweet 16 party next month. Next year .. we're tiling the kitchen floor.

52" Samsung HDTV and a new Driver and 3 wood.

I buy cat food to feed Grandma.

I hope you buy her the good stuff.

Geeze there ya go again Mark.

You would never have made a joke about feeding catfood to Grandpa.

:mad:

It doesn't matter. She can't tell the difference. :p

Well, duh.

Grandpa gets the dog food.

No, he gets bird seed. He considers it a real tweet. :rolleyes:

like I said, I usually pay bills with reff money and whatever is left over I spend on hookers and blow

good times man, good times

Mark, help me out here... which one of these is grandma & which one is grandpa?

I wouldn't touch the post you're referring to with a ten foot Pole, or even a short Lithuanian. ;)

Actually, I spend all my ref money on sex, drugs and rock & roll - without the sex and the drugs. :D

I spend 2/3 on hookers and bourbon. The rest I just waste.

If you had some of these drugs you could have more of that other thing

That must be one heckuva party! :eek:

You blow Jimmy JJ Walker?

no but thelma makes me happy in my pants

That's just wrong. I need to somehow un-read that.

I didn't know you were a hooker, and I don't think you're my type (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Dan - does that grandma look like she's living on cat food?

"So I say to everybody 'keep a hammer in your closet, tie your cell phone around your neck, and be in shape' "

Good officiating advice, too.

: speechless : :eek::D

You'd better check with your travel agent, Mateen Cleaves, on that location. It could be a velveteen, preteen sweet sixteen St. Marteen.

St Maarten might be your destination.;)

Not a chance. If my daughter behaved like those kids .. I'd wring her neck.


Well .. as it turns out it's going to be much larger than we initially thought. Here's the story .. and a warning about making (absolute) promises to your daughters.

First, my daughter has always been low maintenance with regard to birthday parties. The past couple of years all she has wanted is to have a BBQ at the park with (all) her friends. But, for her 16th she told us she wanted something a little more. So I agreed that she could have all my volleyball and basketball earnings (after my expenses) to use for her Sweet 16. As it turns out, we were short on volleyball officials this year. I worked a lot more than I thought I would work, both HS and JH. I wasn't expecting much from basketball (HS) considering this was my first year. But I even worked more basketball than I thought I would. I saved all the checks in a shoe box until the end of the HS basketball season. When all was said and done, there was over twice as much money in the pot as I thought there would be; and considering we counted it as a family, I couldn't lie about how much I really made. (Keep in mind that I probably made considerably less than most on this board).

So, daughter reminds me of my promise to her and sets off planning her party, inviting about twice as many kids as we were originally planning on having; along with a couple extra activities. I really have nothing to complain about .. it's paid for.

I think Dan, Jurassic, and M&M said something about going on vacation together - in Hackensac! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm gonna try to save some money and bunk outside. It's probably safer... :eek:

They could go to London. I hear it's safer there now. Padded Lampposts Tested in London to Prevent Cell Phone Texting Injuries
I think they're calling it Operation Save the Coaches.

Yeah. I'm the lookout.

Btw, that's Hackensack, for you Left Coast wimmen officials. Not that far from Bayonne.

I'd reccommend Newark. Nicer beaches.

Trust me, they ain't going there for the beaches!!:eek:

I dunno - the sand can end up in uncomfortable places. :eek:

Getting to this conversation late, but I ended up purchasing a pitching machine. After two years of pitching lousy batting practice to my kids I decided to invest in something a bit more predictable. That plus a bucket of balls and other baseball-related items pretty much ate up my earnings.

Get Halle Berry that big diamond ring I've been promising her.

How's that appeal against the restraining order coming?

Not unless he's getting a few thousand per game!

Saving money for a down payment on a house. Fun, eh?

Buying a combine or another farm.

Most fans are hoping for a trip to the opotomologist (sp) to upgrade the lenses!!

Some said I should feed the dog that leads me up and down the court!!!

Oh, heck. I can't lie. Goin' to the ladies!!!

No, wait. Paying off my bookie for the games I fixed.

Either you're a really good ref or we're talking really small combine or really, really small farm.

Stay away from the French side. Nothing but OLD naked people. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wu...smiley-020.gif

I dropped the charges against her, she can now get as close as she wants...........

Orient Beach!!

Shoveling snow?

No, this is Grandma Weaselpants.

Cool! You bought the Canadian model! :eek: :D

It does provide a brighter picture. ;)

It went for tires and the FL vacation this year.

I'm buying a .500 caliber pistol! Last fall while bow hunting for deer, I walked into a brown bear while she was nursing her cub. I've lived through some pretty wild adventures living up here in Alaska, but I can honestly say you haven't lived until you are 40 yards away from an 800 pound bear having a staring contest, and you're only holding a stick and a string!

A friend of mine here in CO is doing the very same thing for a similar reason. When he goes elk hunting, he doesn't want to have to defend himself against a bear with a bow and arrow.

How would a bear know how to use a bow and arrow?

Yeah, but the screen is trapezoidal for watching FEEBLE games. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...ages/crazy.gif

Paying MTD, Jr.'s $40,000 per year college bill starting next year.

MTD, Sr.

Uh, oh...sounds like you need be out working games and not sitting at home looking at the internet. :eek:

Yeah, the one with snow.

Actually, between his academic scholarship from ONU's college of engineering and his Air Force ROTC scholarship, he will not have to spend a dime for his college education. :D

MTD, Sr.

Blow who?
:D

I love tall redheads! :p

So, you are really squirreling away the money for personal use?

[Guess what's likely going to appear shortly?]

We will need the officiating money to attend his swim meets and baseball games at Ohio Northern Univ. next year.

MTD, Sr.

Great Balls Of Fire ...
 

Yes, you guessed it ...
