I have some more 15cv stuff to post here but seeing as no one at Invision or CGC wants to solve the journal visibility issues, and no one noticed I'd stopped posting in them, I won't bother!

All good fun.

 

Can one still subscribe to your newsletter?

I found it because ummmm HOT DOGS 

🌭

I'll keep an eye out for another one.  Thought you had picked it up already.  MCS has new ones, but can probably be found elsewhere.

I have a real bias towards the FF as it's pretty much always been my favorite title(or at least in the top 3-4) and the last X-Factor I read was from #200 to ??, but I think you'd be ok with X-Factor(post CW). I missed a great deal prior to CW for a number of years and have quite a bit to read before I'm caught up. 

Edit: My pick would be FF, but see above.

Okay,I'll read some comics.Anyone else read rhe FF forever arc,600 to 604 or 605?I got a trade dirt cheap and I sort of loved it.A bit of gaps,like I missed a cross issue,and time travel stuff is usually a big bummer to me,but Galactus fighting the Celestials?Cosmic cooooool!

The ish devoted to Franklin creating that pocket universe was really fun too,very whimsical.

I enjoyed Hickman's entire time on the book, and the FF series that followed. I liked that Franklin's character was further developed, just find it strange that he becomes so powerful, immortal, and all that.  Wonder what kind of super-kids Valeria will give birth to down the line?

I have never watched a single football game so I have no idea what that is.

Looks fun?

I've watched scads of games and I'm not altogether sure what it is either. 

Edit: I was thinking these were "pool" numbers, when you pick squares to randomly bet, but I'm still not certain what I'm looking at.

you might want to reconsider .. i understand that there is a buy one on-line wife get one sister free special going on tight now !!

While getting an extra sister(free) might have appeal for some, it does limit bride candidates to those already in country, working, and with no significant health issues.  

Coming from overseas the costs associated with food, housing, English lessons, etc. for the sister could be an unwelcome and long term financial burden.

sounds like she might posses super powers !!

A team-up with her and Arm Fall Off Boy would be cool.  If the bad guys were using Metropolis City Hospital as a front or home base to plot their evil schemes, those two could use their "powers" to go undercover as patients.

No cat and I do what I can to keep the birds away.  When I discovered a nest in my attic, I contracted my handyman to fabricate new attic vents to prevent the birds from getting into the attic.  The baby birds were relocated but I think the hawks or the raccoons got to them. 

 

Huh.  I figured you'd have a cat with a name similar to Poster Nutbag.   A cat would keep any birds away and if you lose interest in the cat, the raccoons would surely eat it.

We've already detailed my little war on the wasps and their underground hive and my dumping many gallons of bleach into the ground to soak through and get to them.  Seriously, I wonder if sanitation is going to question why there are so many empty bleach bottles in my recycling...  

Rules might vary state to state, but in general as long as the bottles are empty and capped you shouldn't have a problem. 

If it's just worry about what Sanitation workers are going to think, just put out one container each week and recycle a couple yourself into a bird house or kitty litter scoop or something.

nice. thanks for showing us your collections (no micronauts?) You said questions were encouraged, so:

2nd picture (close-up of left side of cabinet. Bottom shelf. The small picture of the house. Yours? The one you grew up in?

Thanks.

I noticed the same shelf, but was drawn in by the birdhouse next to the picture frame.  There's a lot of interesting items in that display.

haven't made up my mind on these two but just in case 

Yeah, there's really no good reason to hang on to that Lois Lane. More people might see it and enjoy the cover if it was in your sales thread.

The only thing I like about it is that you can moderate your own journal. I've already deleted a comment, and it was refreshing. Not having to deal with the firestarters is a super plus.

 

Was it someone who criticized your retaining wall instructions?

Hello?

I've been watching this space just in case.  It's been a ghost town as you can see.

Waycoolander's from OLD Jersey,not New Jersey...poor chap,not used to the noxious gasses.

As for me, I lived close to Love Canal and Hooker Chemical for a time so I'm used to all sorts of toxicity in the air.   

Can we post prior to midnight or will those comments be 'poofed'?
