Jack is Back

[blackjackdelta]

I do not know where to go with this. I am AMAZED at the outpouring of community love the folks on this part of Disboards has shown towards me. I thought the little gadget I posted was cute. I did not have any intention of involving Hydroguy whom I cansider a great friend.
On Monday I was in my Frank Castle mode. I was having problems with work, I got posted AFstan again(which I am dealing with now here in N.C.) and I totally mistook a comment for sniping. It WAS MY Fault. Hopefully my explanation to Hydroguy will be accepted.

Thank you all for you concerns, your input and your PM's. I am proud to be associated with everyone on DIS. Some times my posts are a bit to direct and I do apologize to anyone I have offended.

I can imagine what would happen if Hydroguy left(OMG). What happened is in the past, so as Walt use to say "On with the show."


PS: The title sounds like a ripper thing and to the poster who said in essence " The Mouse does affect all those in every walk of life." The men I work with all go to Disneyland.

Thanks again from my heart,

Jack

Yay ~ welcome back Jack!

[FlameGirl]

This just warmed the cockles of my cold, black heart.

Welcome back!

[wdvak]

I was trying to stay out of this because I figure if a man needs some space, you give him the space. Now I will spew what I was thinking all along...

You once "booed" me when I was feeling like the most pathetic thread killer that ever dised. It made me happy.

:lmao:

Thanks for sticking around.

[Homemom]

:cool1: Glad you're back. Love reading your very helpful info and enjoy your pictures!

[Kayla's Mom]

:yay: :woohoo: :yay:

[Karenann*]

Cool!!! I am going in July and October also and am counting on your posts!!! Nice to have your daughter around too!

[raftislander]

This is great news:woohoo: You being posted to Afghanistan - not so much. But thank you for what you do for us there and here. Now, please encourage your daughter to stay with us, as well.

[S. S. Columbia]

Cool!!! Glad you're back, Jack!!!

[tinkermell]

Yay!! All is well.:yay:

Welcome back Jack!! :grouphug:

So can you tell a little more of what is going on with Afghanistan?

[albertamom]

Yay!!!:banana:

I thought I would just quickly check in on the DIS before I go pick my kids up from school, and am I ever glad I did! We definitely need you around!

Welcome Back!:cheer2:

(The silver lining in all of this is that it brought your daughter into the fold...and the outpouring of love has reminded us all what a wonderful place the DIS really is.):grouphug:

Sent you a PM

[PHXscuba]

Jack, if you weren't a DIS celebrity before, you are now.:)

Thanks for your contributions and your honest opinions.

May God be with you in Afghanistan. We have a friend over there who's a forward-unit surgeon and I know even his descriptive letters can't convey what's happening there. Be safe!

Good for you. This is the best community anywhere and we appreciate your questions and input.

[Mary Jo]

Glad you didn't stay away tooo long, though you had us worried. :goodvibes

Do I understand your first post to say you are going to Afganistan?

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

Yay! Now everything can go back to normal around here, well, normal for around here at least! :dance3:

So glad you are back!! :love:

[6Smiles]

Thanks for the support. I am para-military. For a person who has probably 6 photo's taken of me over my lifetime, I am far from being a celebrity. I was in total shock when I started reading some of the posts.

How is the weather in AZ?

Jack

[jernysgirl]

Glad to see that you are back. You really are a great source of information for these boards! :goodvibes:hug:

I think that it is safe to say that there were a lot of people concerned about you and hopefully you know how much we really appreciate the opportunity to pick your brain every once in awhile, along with all the other vets! I find it really heart-warming to know that the DIS is a great place where I have made a lot of friends along the way and hopefully you have been able to see through this whole thing that you have a lot more friends than you might have previously thought!:grouphug:

[LuLusApple]

Yay!! Happy happy :thumbsup2
I saw the title and started humming NBC tunes. Jack Skellington came to mind lol no Jack the Ripper :scared1: for me I am too Disney brainwashed lol

Stay Safe in Afganistan. DS has done a tour there among other unpleasant countries.

[tiffntwins]

Thanks to all again,

Jack

Wow. Adding you to my prayers for a safe return.

[NVDisMom]

11 times?! Holy cow! If anybody knows that country and its problems, its certainly you. Stay safe and know that you are appreciated on the boards and off!

[DangerMouse]

Didn't know you were gone Jack but it is great to have you back. Love your Pictures of the Day. Are you still going to DL this year?

[ACDSNY]

:woohoo: I opened an email on the GC thread and went "Yay Jack's back"! My DH looked at me like I've lost it and asked who? what? :laughing:

I think you were in Afganistan when I first started reading your posts, sorry to hear you have to go another round. Take care!

We're lucky right now that all three of our military family members are in the States right now.

[Leshaface]

Sweet! Glad to have you back Jack!!

[reynmagsmom]

[blackjackdelta]

Didn't know you were gone Jack but it is great to have you back. Love your Pictures of the Day. Are you still going to DL this year?

We are stay in a 1 bedroom villa, 8/15-8/22. I love your photos also. I do not PP, do not have the time. Took a bridge last year, going back to a DSLR. I still shoot film.

Jack

[magicalfoursome]

YAY!!! :yay: I just came over from the WDW side a few months ago as I am planning our family's 1st trip tp DLR. I have learned so much from both you and Hydroguy -- so happy you are staying!!!!! Stay safe in Afganistan and thank you so much for your service to our great country.

[mariners1999]

Jack,

So glad to have you back. I am counting on your advice for when my wife and I take my 4 year old on his first trip to the mouse this fall/winter! Plus us Eastern Washington guys gotta stick together! :cool2:

Andy

[PHXscuba]

Jack, it's hot and getting hotter in AZ -- although nothing like where you're headed soon. I know some people are still shoveling snow but we're in the pool. Should hit 100 tomorrow.

I also have another friend who is semi-retired and has/is earning plenty of frequent flier miles going to Afghanistan etc. for the "we'd tell you who we are but then we'd have to kill you" crowd. You'd never think it checking out his innocent grandpa look.

Best of luck and welcome back to your DIS "support group."

[50sjayne]

'bout 'friggin' time.....:cat:

[zeitzeuge]

I've been out of the loop and not sure what happened, but no matter what, I'm glad your back Jack. Always enjoy your threads, comments and advice. Wishing you a safe tour in Afghanistan. We have a few friends there ourselves. Be safe.

[ktlm]

Welcome back Jack!!! :goodvibes The DIS needs you!!!! Sorry you had such a rotten day and that you have to go back to AF! Stay safe!

[Judy from Boise]

Well as a "brat" who's dad did years of quality time in southeast Asia ( BTW SeaBees CAN DO !) I thank you for your willingness to do our dirty work.

[dalepool]

glad that Jack is back ---Now where did I hear that line before :P. Your information and personal thoughts help us plan our DL vacations. The Dis is a better place with Jack in it :).

I do not post much but I do read the posts and gather the best internet information.

Patty :)
