  4. My deaf Maine Coon mix is nearly a twin of yours but with ling,long hair.His ruff is ready for a hair metal band and yeas,fat effer just ran around meowering his head off about the petit souris.But I forgive him,he sleeps under the covers in the crook of my arm every night the sweetums Also as it's three years tonight Penny died in my arms,here's a photo.I'm going to go say a lil prayer and hug Pineapple. Rest in Peace best girl @THE_BEYONDER sorry it's late,but here's Pineapple and her part husky boypal Keanu.Wow,what a pair of dog names!
  5. Oi oi oi ahoy volkennerds! Whiner whiner porcupiner here.I know,I said I'd be back sooner and believe me,I've been anxious about not.Not that I'm super self absorbed and think y'all are salivating awaiting my return,but that's why I hate saying a date or a time....time melds for me I lose days or sometimes the mental illness os so much of a turd on toast it's literally crippling.Like it makes no sense but just thinking of online gives me mad dread. I ended up needing another 'round' of neck blood cleaning,so four times four hours ugh.Wiped me out,scared me and I just have no luck in March.Three years today Penny died.So many other bad memories..but,pretty sure I'm gonna live.It was really touch and go again,blood infection,was worried it got in bone and the leg would go(insert silent crying).And my mom was in hospital same time nearly,having heart speed issues,too fast and it caused a small stroke.sigh,and now my partner just had to spend a night in hospital for IV antibiotics coz of a cut while cleaning a fish tank.WHY? So,yeah,whiner porcupiner. @Get Marwood & I please tell me a Charlton story. @Ken Aldredif I havent replied already,thank you for your words.I have a good idea you understand some of my issues and I yours a bit.Also on Antiques Roadshow they had a segment on John Polk clay pipes and it made me think of you.Those things are cool!The Manchester connection y'see? @Robot Manthis is the toy car I excavated!Well,stock image.I'm super pleased. https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/0315/13/vintage-tomte-laerdal-blue-mercedes_1_15d6733a935223ebe2ab74ebe57097ef.jpg @KirbyJack when I get ahold of a camera I have a Hot Wheels I have to show you.It ties into a comic of yours I swear like,I thought of you when I got it and it's not FF! @namisgr Maybelline was not doing well for a bit-the American tabby you are fond of of Ardy and I's- she's so old and small that the vet said there was nothing we could do about the dental issues she's having and when Penny died she stopped eating for a long time and was tres skinny.I honestly thought I was going to lose her at 18.Well,I started giving her a small amount of cbd and giving her kitten food thrice daily from the can and things are great.She even caught and savaged a big ol mouse today! Anywhoo,she said to tell you about it! 😎No photos as the Pineapple was going crazy with the other kids and my partner is back getting the infection checked,so no camera/phone.I'm still a Luddite no monile tracking device here! Anyone here dig Hot Wheels,toys and or comics?Let's dish!
  6. Now I'm super extra ridinkulous tired.Ciao for now gang
  7. I actually nearly came on a few days ago to show something off on your page!Walking a trail sorta road between two backyards,like where the EC comic has the children parading the coffin through on the cover? I found a blue Mercedes convertable car toy ,soft plastic from the fifties,made in Norway half in the dirt!Likely been there for sixty years till nosy Pineappple and I came along to the rescue!

  12. Thanks everyone.I'll try and make a longer post tomorrow maybe.I've kept it close,so even those I have on fb from here this'll be a surprise too(and I don't go there anyways really anymore)-anyways long short a bunch a bunch of tres terrible stuff's been shakin',more deaths,we're at thirteen in 22 months now,close friends,almost all the punkerfolk I grew up with are gone now,it's close knit in a big town small city like Capital city,you get chummy when you have to fight off doi yois that want to beat arse because off hair or clothes.Had to narcan a friend five times today when I went to do a welfare check on them after dialysis glad I did.And yeah,sneakered that in there,I've had that hell going on again four sometimes five times a week.No hospital stay,NO WAY! even if all the cabs cut into fun and food money!Nuh unh!Noooooooooooooo! Ooh,new smilies? Anyhoo,as birthday pres(March 20,party hard for me volken!I can't!) we think I may just go in for last bloodwork to be extra sure and no treatment.That stuff,man...it's so.friggin'.HARD. And traumatizing seeing blood pumped out of your NECK whoosh hishhed and then back in?No fun.It wipes me pretty damn bad.Then tonight I went through some on Joey tfl Ghost Riders boxes it's taken me that long and I figured I was already miserable...could it get worse?Yep.A box of cassettes,many with his handwritting and a good bunch with mine that I'd gifted him he's put notes inside saying how much he loved them and he loved me and whoooooooooooo well here I am,I just needed you gang a minute sorry.I hope I don't go into a wicked friggen manic episode coz of it if I wasn't already on the way.Between the bi polar and dementia I just don't know what the heck is going on a LOT of the time now just walk the dog when I can read comics play with Hot Wheels... nyhow,I'm really tired thanks for being friends Much love Jimmers

  14. Robot Man,I remembered I left you hanging and owe you a pm..sorry big buddy. Here's a 'till then' <a href="https://imgur.com/FAocKCn"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/FAocKCn.jpg?2" title="source: imgur.com" /></a> I don't get why so many of my images are gone.
  15. Still have a pick of mine with the bb hole.Thinking of you bumrunner
  16. Hey friends,many plenty sorries if anyone's been concerned...not my intent at all,sometimes I just crumble and it's been awfully difficult trying to put myself back together this time around.So many sad and terrible things I didn't/couldn't deal with properly,put on the back burner because I needed all my focus to be on positivity,to get well and keep healing my body.They catch up and build up-I've lost a bunch more people I was close with since last on, one being a girl I loved very very much before Mrs Porcupine came around.It broke me like ai never thought possible and the floodwaters poured out with "B'" loosing her battle. My mental health is very fragile right now with depression still weighing very heavy annd the temptation to relapse is so spooning strong every day.I was gonna jump on yesterday after running some errands-I have some loot sitting with Lizards and it's been a WHILE,figured I should finally send him some quills so he could pack it off to Arden,now that mail is SORTA okay.Well,guess I dropped my debit walking Pineapple and someone had a good time 'tapping' on my dime.Let me tell you,that shot the carp out of feeling okay.What a terrible feeling.I'll be reinbursed,in TEN DAYS-I had tap turned off,but seems banks lifted that across the board?!!?Anyways,that just freaking pooped me off.I hope the person really needed that and maybe I made someones day a bit brighter?Have to try to be silver lining guy...but all that time on the phone,the moribund feeling of being ripped off...och,it's still eating me. I want to be my ol' happy self when I post here,but I can't right now.The mental illness cripples me to the point I have attacks of anxiety just thinking about logging on.For real..it's absurd,but I freak out thinking about it.I'll lay i bed thinking about making a post to say sorry,but then get anxious and my mind goes off and a million roads later I'm exhausted and I just hide the computer.I draw a lot.Art a few hours a day.J write,I mirco clean(think manic dusting organizing) I garden,I just try to stay busy and not let my mind go a zillion miles an hour.Today I was playing with my old table top victrola and the motor went.Joy!Sweated and maniced over that until K realized I needed to google,youtube how to fix it.So,I was online and thought I'd make a quick hi,excuse for where ai'd been and now,look,I'm rambling. I think of you gang everyday and I have guilt.Larry,Marwood,Bats DOMO(💛again,thank you),batmiesta @Kevin.Jare you okay mate?RobotMan,my secret pm group(it's a SECRET)Ken Aldred DrX i have not read the pm @steveinthecitythanks so much for giving a shout. @Get Marwood & II thought the letter would have been there...i'm not trying to miss anyone,sorry if you don't see your name it just means I'm overwhelmed right now
  17. Gold,black,gold,black would look SO great-and a glowing spinner of glowing skulls?Too cool! Send me a pic when done svp. I imagine 9.8's of those are hens teeth.High grades of both of these are super tough imho and yours could be 9.8 on another day right? (ever see a UPC gold?)
  18. The stuff you gentlemen post makes it soooo easy! Between the comics/mags/folios/stuff like that the record lp's and singles,toys,cassettes,Hot Wheels,book books-just plain ol books our flat is... ah,cozy! I've nearly filled this shelf I hacked together and the four depression era cardboard suitcases I've stuffed with paperbacks/pocketbooks are proof I've developed a problem! And there are five free book libraries in walking the dog distance.I can hit them all in an hour and that's a big part of where most of the good to great stuff I find.I'm not complaining.My wife is,a bit -but she's a voracious reader as well. Oh,I collect bowling balls too I see! good grief!
  19. Thanks.I only knew about the one,I guess the first one Most of my gaming know came from what was in the Consumers Distributing catalogue or what Zellers(like Canadian Target/Kmart?) had.Sometimes a kid in class would have an American or another country cousin and we'd see or hear odder stuff,like Nightmare on Elm,nes wise. Oh,I knew for sure there must be a following with those prices.Like Madball comics,on the toys-I have a few from childhood and looked into getting the run and was smdh! I love hearing about,seeing new niche collector areas.I've started picking up just about anything cheap from the 80's and 90's that has a pop culture connection.Makes me nostalgic and before long I wont be able to find it cheap/free.(it's not speculation,as I'm a black hole,it's more of a 'that's 25-35 years old now?wow,I'm old.Better grab it before it,they're just not around anymore). I find stuff from the eighties and nineties to actually be a little uncommon sometimes as no one kept the 'junque' and so much just got trashed.Old metal magazines like Rip or Metal Edge for example! Maybe the new baseball cards.Instead of 'I had all those,pinned em to my bike spokes' it could be'I collected all those metall or grunge magazines,we all used to cut em up and put the pictures on our walls,lockers Okay,someone's feeling gabby..
  20. Ah,wasn't certain I'd shared these! Don't think I've seen many Epic CPV
