    Forked Thread: Remember This... Time Travel... What would you do?

    I would try to collect as much old school change and then travel back in time (circa 1977-78) and purchase an original set of Star Wars action figures. Also go see Star Wars in the theater. Go back and see the launch of the first Space Shuttle. Go and see every Apollo moon mission launch...

    Forked Thread: Show your Star Wars geekitude

    8D8 is another one. It was one of the few RotJ figures from the old school action figure line that I still have that is in good shape. Other than that, there's the Power Droid (AKA Gonk) that also had an action figure from the original movie line. I can't name any from the new triology other...

    Hive For The Holidays!

    On Another Note. On a happy note, I decided to take some money I had left over from the end of the month and purchase a subscription to National Geographic Magazine. It was only $15 for a one year subscription on their web site and they also have other magazines by the company also on sale. If...

    Hive For The Holidays!

    This is why you stick your modem and router on top of something that can only hold it and nothing else or put something on that shelf that will not spill. I've had many electronic things ruined over the years because of careless accidents like spilling a beverage on top of it. Hopefully there...

    Hive For The Holidays!

    Holiday Decisions I've come to a decision that I need to get off of my lazy backside and take my Cosmetology Instructor exam. I'm already a licensed Cosmetologist in the state of Texas and have been for about 5 years. Only worked in the field for two years before going on Disability for a...

    Hive For The Holidays!

    No more Tamales. I would so not have your family back to your place any time soon. Seriously, I feel for you. The holidays are not a good time for me. One of our dogs died earlier this year and I took it rather hard and now I'm missing him so very much. Take care Relique, hopefully things...

    Santa's List

    Little brother came through for me and got me Big Bang Theory Season 1. Hopefully I'll get around to watching it some time in the next few weeks. My older brother got me a tin of Star Wars Pocket Models. I got a boatload of Rare ships and three shiny game cards from the booster packs along...

    Hive For The Holidays!

    Mr. Beef runs screaming from the hive. Runs into a brick wall and falls on the ice. Am I dead or is this Ohio?

    Hive For The Holidays!

    I've seen bits and pieces of it, but not the whole thing.

    Heroclix

    I miss playing HeroClix, I used to play a long time ago, but left the game because of a lack of funds. Now that they have gone to only one version of each mini in a set I'm getting back into the game. I'm trying to get the ones that I want from all the new sets, but with only one store in my...

    When is my really smart 6 year old ready for Pokemon CCG?

    I think you would probably both benefit from going to this web site How to play the Pokemon TCG and having a go through the demo game that is on line to see if she's ready to do it. It's a pretty easy demo and teaches the new to the game how to do it. It kind of railroads you through the game...

    Save the Hive, Save the ENWorld!

    Tonight is about the only time I'm going to be able to do anything because hurricane Ike is coming on land and headed north. They say Dallas is not going to get the brunt, but as fickle as Morther Nature is I'm not making any plans for Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully we won't lose Direct TV for...

    Save the Hive, Save the ENWorld!

    I thought I was kickass back in 8th grade (about age 13) when I could down a cold 12oz can of Coke-Cola in 8 seconds. A pint in four seconds must be some kind of record. I'm sure I could do it again with some practice and the right kind of container. Ginnel my friend, you win the kick-ass...

    Save the Hive, Save the ENWorld!

    Back from looking at shoes. It appears that there are so many fancy styles of shoes in my size that I cannot pick one. There are like 13 pages on E-Bay that have the auctions in my size and width. Maybe towards the end of the month I'll pick some up, but right now I have to wait to see how the...
