    For those who may have thought that I'm pimping my way, three ways to Sunday, I lost 800 dollars on that one, it was never meant for resale. 
    This is for the crowd.... Having a stroke and getting on a fixed income is NOT like winning the lottery. Not going to work anymore gets old, QUICK. If you want to avoid this, stay active, watch your salt, and minimize cholesterol for starters. I kept up with 30 year olds at work, was maybe 10 lbs. more than HS Football days, and had quit smoking and drinking for years. I was loading and unloading 20+ trucks per shift one day, and nearly paralyzed the next. On a Friday night I could pick up a quarter with a forklift, and on Saturday night I couldn't pick up a quarter between my thumb and finger. Take the warnings seriously .. it's truly night and day. GOD BLESS ...

    Look, a friend just reached out and informed me that there are a few who are wondering why I'm still posting plus buying and selling a little, after I had the stroke and all the donations. Fair question.
    I always considered you people to be friends, so I'll spell things out. I'm still unable to work, trouble standing and walking, but doable, with difficulty, for periods. I'm out of work still, and don't seem to be improving any longer. Getting disability is still not guaranteed. They won't even begin the application process until July. In the meantime, I'm getting early Social Security, which is about $1400 a month, and not quite enough to make ends meet, so I decided to sell books part time, which is about all I can do, to help make ends meet. Trust me, I'm not living large.
     I don't have much of a life left, and to be honest, I do continue to buy the occasional PB or HC, and they aren't that expensive if I sell off something else. I just sit here most of the time and looked forward to the little bit of interaction on the boards to keep the walls from closing in. The two larger purchases from October are on layaway and intended for others in their final disposition. I suppose I can do a lot less posting, if that bothers some of you. . Thanks again, for bringing it to my attention. I appreciate it. It's always best to know. I had no idea there were members who felt that way about me, but I'm a grown up and realize I won't always be everyone's cup of tea. I'll always value your friendship. Sorry again, for any confusion I may have caused. I would give almost anything to be able to work again. GOD BLESS ...

    Sorry you had to explain that. Your followers here on the board already know all of this.
    For me, there is no quitting on collecting comics. I've been doing it for 55 years or more. It is my life and for all practical purposes, always was and will be. It will continue to be a big part of my life, even while I liquidate in the final countdown.
    My collecting life will surely be refined in the years to come, but it will never go away - it gives me wings.

    Hey Pal! Thanks for being on the lookout. A "one sheet" is the advertising for the movie you would see hanging in the movie theater lobby, outside the heater, etc.
    While the above is a copy of the Mexican one sheet, it's been reduced for a Mexican dvd.

    They draw comics like that for a reason. I'm not crazy. You can get with a dude if you want. It's all good.
