DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[dpuck1998]

Mornin' peeps! Training mission until 0100 this morning so I'm off work today! We had to take back a plane from hijackers. Very cool. The travelers at the airport were very nervous to say the least. So, what did I miss last night? Anything good?

Sounds like fun! Was this live fire? I'm guessing no at the airport.

That's my Mickey vase. I showed it to my wonderful, dear mother (I have to preface with that because I'm going to make fun of her). She said, "Oh, yeah, I see his eyes."

Let me say this again very slowly (okay, just read it slowly) this is my favorite souvenir ever. To me, it is so awesome that I stood there and watched him make this and he did it for me. There were all sorts of people watching and the only opinion that mattered was mine, even though the lady next to me thought hers mattered. And, I think it was a great deal. I can't remember if it was $70 or $90. I didn't have him put handles on it like he does for most, so it was cheaper. It was worth every penny. The experience was great. I know, I know. You already said you put it on your schedule. But, I love talking about my vase

tell us more I hope I remember to stop in, I would love to get a large vase for my niche in my foyer (sounds fancy hu)

I LOVE YOUR VASE NICOLE! We've watched him before, but I had no idea you could have something custom made.

No live fire. The airport was active so we had to minimize public panic and maximize safety. It was one of those PR type exercises to show how the military and law enforcement work together. We were training the NY State Police.

I also really like how it is very classy looking. And, if I decided I didn't want the buttons showing, I can just turn it around. So, it's Mickey without looking like you are decorating for a five year old. He is pretty accommodating. I think he said that his biggest commission was $10,000. So, the sky's the limit. Have fun!

I disagree. A whole lot.

But I will reach a compromise....we need each other. Just like a family should.

OK, OK. I'll make you smile, you keep me safe. It's a good trade off

This is such a fun thread to come back to after meeting about problems all morning.

Engagements/plural marriages/showers - all such fun

How ya doing on your post count today Todd?

Go EARLY in the day or trip. Set up a time to have him make you something. It is my favorite souvenir from all of my trips. We watched him make something, and then I told him what I wanted. We set up a time to go back and I got to make decisions about my vase. It has to sit for several days to cool down, so do it early.

I think glass is my favorite "craft" it is just so beautiful. I love to watch when they are blowing the glass. I just wish I had a place for some of the beautiful art they create there.

You say this all so non-challantly (sp). "So, yeah, terrorist thing. yeah yeah, workin' together. yeah yeah. So what'd I miss?"

Your modestness is your true hero shield.

Thank you for all that you do. (they don't have a "shake your hand" smiley).

This is our last weekend for regular soccer games, one more weekend of tournament and then we are done for a month. This weekend we have FIVE soccer games. Now if Little Miss Em decides to have a good attitude, all will be well. She plays goalie and last weekend got a bit discouraged. When she made it to the field I 'encouraged" her to go help her team. Her response, "Why, we're just going to lose." So, hopefully it's more fun for her this weekend.

Update on soccer ref from last weekend with the police, the other parent is pressing charges for assault. Sad, sad life.
