I should have paid more attention to this thread. I love those plaques, Mimi, and the vase is really pretty too. Like Goldragon said, your interior is probably worth staring at!

Thanks GB! 😀

You’re also welcome to come visit if you make it out this way next year! I’ll make lemon meringue pie. 🙂

Thanks! You’re welcome to visit if you come out this way…we could have lunch with the squirrels. But I wish I had a big house like yours because I’m almost out of wall space now. Though compared to Ski’s place, my house looks Spartan…he he… Check out Ski’s photos in the other thread if you haven’t already…

OOOOOOOHH!!!! I just finished reading all 25 pages of that thread, and I am so tickled to see the pictures!! I really need to figure out how to post my own…

BTW, I also have a few pics of myself and my family with Kevin Sorbo!!! What a sweet guy! I was sooooo disappointed when he cut his hair though, but he still looks pretty good. 😀 Where did you gals meet him? I have two pics *looks around frantically, where the heck are they?* that were taken in Pasadena in 2000 at a Hercules/Xena convention, and several that were taken in NJ in Oct 2005.

So cool to know Kevin has fans here besides me!

You just need to put your pictures on Photobucket.com or something similar, and then you can paste the link for the image directly into your post. If you want to see the exact formatting which is needed, just do a “Quote” on any post with a picture and you’ll see it.

I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s pictures too. It really helps to put faces to the names…

Mimi, I love your collection. Those are some nice Michael Whelan’s and I love the pewter plaques from Malaysia. How did you get those? Have you been there?

Thanks Star! Yes, I got the pewter plaques a long time ago when I was there on business (my company has a plant there). Selangor Pewter, which is pretty famous for pewter, is based in Malaysia and they had a store in the shopping center right next to my hotel. So I picked up a lot of stuff from that store while I was there ended up with half a suitcase full of pewter! I’m glad I got the stuff I did though, because it looks like they don’t make most of it anymore.

By the way, I also got the vase when I was over in Japan on business. As it turns out, the city where the plant is located is known for its lacquerware, and that vase is an example of the local craftsmanship.

You work for Selangor???? ZOMG! Louis is going to flip!

Errr….no, I don’t work for Selangor — I work at a semiconductor company. 😆

One of my company’s overseas plants is in Malaysia, which is where Selangor happens to be based. I was able to buy the plaques when I was visiting that plant on business.

Awwww…I though it was kind of weird…you having an EE degree and all…. 🙄 I’m so silly.

[Mimi]

I think it must be something about the way I wrote that post. When you wrote your comment, I finally realized what dragonness was asking in her previous post when she asked if I got a discount for working there. 😆

[Alyssa]

lol….I guess I assumed.

[Mimi]

I think they should’ve given me a discount anyway…considering how much stuff I bought. 🙂

[Alyssa]

Yeah, what is up with that? You should ask for a bonus instead. 😆

[Mimi]

Too true! But my company prefers to just give you more work instead… 😆

[Alyssa]

Well that isn’t any kind of bonus what so ever.
