Ugh, I dunno what bsky did with my alt-text.

A person wearing a brown, inflated Dachshund costume while walking 4 Dachshunds, 3 brown and 1 black, down concrete stairs and along a sidewalk.

I got you. It's such a perfect sight. I would die if I saw it in person, lol.

Yep, wild times. B&W tins (long out of print in 2017) and HG/SS packs and blisters (even longer out of print) at Rite Aid (also now mostly out of print, lmao.)

I don't regret selling it all when I did in ~2022, made plenty on multiple master sets, but its amazing how much MORE its worth now.

Ooh, nice! I live far enough out that the people near me have none of the same hobbies as me. The things that have gone mainstream have gone away, but I still have nice sources on some stuff. When I first moved here in 2017, I regularly found Pokemon cards from 2010 around. That's LONG gone, lol.

Good luck! It sucks it's not what it used to be out there. Every second-hand store having immediate access to eBay listings is a bridge we can't uncross. 😭

Nah, haven't used whatnot since 2022, lol. I'm not nearly an interested enough buyer to pay anything online, most likely. Just a "thrift store/yard sale dream" kind of thing.

I want the NES Racermate. The SNES Exertainment Bike is awesome, and arguably better in terms of games, but the NES setup is a trainer I could attach my much more modern bike to. But the game alone runs $200-$300. No eBay Sold examples of the full setup, but there is one listed for $10k 😰

Get the Game Boy Color Singer! LOL.

Yeah, it was really interesting for me, because I know basically nothing about Cuphead, so all of it was new info

We're not in our 30s anymore!!! I DID wait until this morning, but you shouldn't have to pay such a steep price for what you did. I'm sorry! 😭

It was amazing to see Julie Fowlis live IN MY TOWN Thurs night - not having to deal with Atlanta! And all the way from Scotland, no less. If you've seen Pixar's Brave, Outlander, or played Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you've heard her. Here's my favorite of hers: youtu.be/yX14IYMFKe4

L to R - Eamon Doorley, Julie Fowlis, Duncan Chisholm, and Tony Byrne on stage with purple and white lighting. This was during their encore after Julie went offstage and returned with bagpipes.

I don't know anyone else that has a deeper love and respect for the women of Star Wars. This is going to be an amazing tale. 💙

Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren

•
Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

Oh, my. This is going to be amazing. I've always loved your love for the women of Star Wars. This is in SUCH good hands!

The stray white beauty. Love seeing her every day. Wish she'd let me touch her (her brother, yet another black cat with a tiny gray spot, is already eating and being pet in this pic)

A mostly white kitten with a gray and white banded tail and grayish hind legs sitting on my back porch watching her brother eating (he is not in frame).

The Orthotist has to look around for someone to fabricate it (apparently Hanger's in-house shop has mostly stopped doing upper limbs - why???).

Three limbs upgraded to cyborg, cool cool cool.

My wrist is still being a drag, we (PT, Dr, and me) all decided to send me back to my BFFs, Hanger Clinic, for a more elaborate setup than what the physical therapist could do way back in April. Wanna watch the casting process they'll use to make it? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMrhTqSh/
