:cloud9:  Happy memories?Makes me smile!

Canadian Tire and Consumers,Zellers,Kmart-oh,the childhood toy sections of our youth! I still have a single wing around somehow.I really have to resist getting comics for a bit to tuck some loonies away to get one.Obscure,but I see them on the bay.A boxed example would be nice,but mine was set up with the GI Joe HQ base that morning,right in front of the tree,so I received it loose to start.That was the best Christmas I ever remember.

R.I.P. Joes,that were shot with the pellet gun or sold to buy comics when finding moneyback pop bottles was slow.

Edit-do you remember the Nintendo game?

R.I.P Joe is right on.  We not only shot the hell out of them.... We lit them on fire with gas and matches... not much else to do growing up in Saskatchewan as a young kid. Heck, we were probably smoking a pack of DuMaurier or Players as young 12 year olds burning those poor plastic buggers.

I don't remember the game on that day but to this day I still collect a lot of the harder to find and expensive Nintendo (NES) stuff.

That dog and this place saved my life,so,hospital humour,B-positive,like my blood!jimpen.jpg.da05ee1589a2d0fb8c6cc1f058b074d3.jpg

I miss her gang,so much and it hits me all the time.Effing cancer.

Hey Jim...just seeing this...sorry for your loss.  As in life, and as in grieving it's always a good idea to inteject a little humour in our remembrances.  I have to admit it was pretty funny to me when you contacted me, horrified, that your dog had chewed the HULK book...LOL.  Of course it was just a $10 dollar MM book.  Lost track of that book...think it last got sent to Peter Loves Gwen and then died...

Anyway, carry on brother.  Sad for sure but you'll always her memory.  Best...Tom

We fought as hard as we could,even if we tried the 40K chemo,we were told it would only MAYBE add another year of life,and at what quality?Really made me lose faith for a while.

She was so gentle,I'm 112 pounds in this pic,but she came everywhere with me and made sure I got my sunshine and fresh air.Pineapple pulls me like a marionette!

And here's a much loved by me funny to lighten the mood,sorry for the emo folks.Got looking through old pics posted here.

Edit @Comicopolis what a great,great t shirt,no?

So sorry for your loss, I know it well and have had to go through it a few times. Whether it's a sudden shock, or a slow decline, it is never easy. And it's insane how much treatment can cost, and with zero guarantee that it will improve quality of life. Such tough decisions to make. But the love that the little buggers bring into our lives makes it all worthwhile.
