@andycarolan I’m really down for this.

@jake4480 Ha! I can’t wait to dig into the really old stuff. I’m about 1/3 of the way through the first Dark Horse omnibus and really enjoying it. I figured it was a good place to start with Busiek writing the stories.

@jake4480 Oh yea. I hit up eBay to see if there were any decent lots to get started with. I saw the demand for those early issues can be a bit high. 🤣

@robb I’m with you on this. The majority of my movies on my Plex have less than 10% Rotten Tomatoes scores. I don’t care. They are fun, goofy and enjoyable, what movies should be.

@jake4480 Ha! Well I’m sure I’ll get to them eventually. I’m still finishing up King of the Hill as far as animation goes.

I haven’t watched Disenchantment yet. It’s been on my list for years but just haven’t pulled the trigger.

@jake4480 Oh man with a recommendation like that I gotta check it out.

Yea Im a HUGE Beavis and Butthead fan. I’ve been loving the new episodes.

I actually have a King of the Hill blog written to post this Sunday. Ha!

@jake4480 I definitely can spare $2 for this.

@kev I’ll take this on the chin for America and yes that’s gross. I mean, you put cheese on beans! What are you, a savage? 🤣🤣

@jake4480 Wow. I had no idea!

@jake4480 Thanks! I did read your post when I dove into your archives and I’m totally in agreement. It’s just too much and it’s not healthy at all.

Years ago, I ran across this comment on a blog and I saved it. I was so bummed I could get in touch with the author because he/she nailed it:

@jake4480 “...to summarize my ideas on the topic, I believe that through social media, electronics, and a growing need to be accepted, young adults are constantly being exposed to the harsh opinions, realities, and ideas that come when a world is shrunk down to fit inside a cellular phone. Not only is our personal life stressful, but now we take on the stress of others and the world around us.”

And to me that’s all the new is.
2/2

@jake4480 100% agreed. It’s outside of our control. My father didn’t watch the news much but now he does and he’s miserable. In fact, everyone I know that stays connected to the news is miserable. All that fear and anxiety being shoved down your throat… I just can’t.

@jake4480 🤣 We are very much two peas in a pod.

@jake4480 Ha! I hear ya! I moved around schools often (my dad was in the military) and there was a couple of years where I barely spoke to anyone. I’d just carry a book around with me for company.

I have heard of the spoons and I use that often! It’s such a good analogy for the capacity of energy.

@jake4480 This has been a concern of mine for years. I mean, it's so unreasonable to just kill off a piece of art and then make it so no one else can enjoy it. I hate it. I really do, but unless they can find some sort of profit in it, I think their happy to let it all rot.

@jake4480 Yea it’s wild. It’s caused by tick bites. There is another closely related allergy called alpha gal also caused by tick bites. She’s a huge fan of cooking so it’s destroyed her when she got diagnosed. The allergy is technically a mammalian allergy so we can’t eat like bison or elk in exchange. Just poultry and seafood.

She spent years in and out of hospitals with terrible hives in her throat and all over her body. I never would have guessed something like this.
