Not to pry, but I wish you mentioned this more

I remember now that you have, but other posts made me forget and or want to (((hug))) the regret or remorse away Haha

Call me sentimental,  and I'm not looking for a mate myself, still as long as everyone has love some way somehow is important to me 

 

Well, I have strong opinions. They don't always gel with this so-called non judgmental world. But yeah. Love is the answer.

I have a wonderful 3rd wife for the last 21 years. She leaves my comics and music alone. She gets it.

For me it's a second wife . . .  She's cool with the comics and the vinyl. . . but she gets pissed when I come home with vintage speakers from the local thrifts . . .they take up so much room.   Anyone want to buy a very fine set of Pioneer HPM 100's?  Actually, another thought was to sell comics and buy audio gear.  Man, I have delusions of being a minimalist . . but in reality I just love old stuff and can't stop collecting it because it makes me happy.

I used to be an audiophile to a degree. The best speakers, receivers, dvd/media players. I stopped. By the time I got them and set them up, they were obsolete and Japan was already getting the "next best thing" ready to ship. So, I am satisfied with what I have. I started feeling like the Steve Martin bit when he bought the Moonrock speakers: "Sounds like ". LOL!

Vintage comics are forever. They never change, never get better or worse and are always cool. I don't have to set them up, agonize over positioning and constantly fiddle-diddle with them. Not selling those just to get something that's going to be obsolete by the time I get it.
