A confession

[MrScorpio]

I'm a Sci-fi and comic book geek. Always been one

There...

That monkey is off my back

[grannylib]

1. A confession

I collect old yardsticks and wooden alphabet blocks. And wind-up alarm clocks that don't work. I'm obsessed with them.

[femmocrat]

3. My husband sold some of those items on eBay!

Maybe you bought them?

I'm so happy there are collectors like you out there. :D :hi:

[grannylib]

7. Shoot, no, sadly! I search them out at local thrift stores and garage

sales and occasionally, antique stores/shows and flea markets...
I just love them so!

[orleans]

25. now how did that start? how do you start a collection of yardsticks?

and broken clocks?

[Tom Kitten]

2. we have a lot in common

I'm an underachiever, though.

[DarkTirade]

4. I suspected.

But I figured I'd give you time to come out on your own. :P

[arcadian]

5. What comics do you like?

n/t

[MrScorpio]

9. I've always collected comics because I liked the art

I've had to stop for the last few years

But, when I did collect series, I got X-Men, Batman and Spider-Man comics

[AirmensMom]

6. That's OK with me.

:hi:

I hope you feel better now. :hug:

8. I met my ex in a Dungeons and Dragons group

(AD&D 2nd edition for those geekish enough to be curious)

[Tom Kitten]

10. Comic books are how I've made my living the past year

Last November a good man drove 300 miles in order to hand me an envelope with 6,000 dollars cash...in exchange for only my Marvel Silver Age collection...later I sold my DC collection for 2,000...collected them since I was eleven years old...little did I know I would have to sell them in order to keep the status quo instead of a down payment on something...Oh well

[MrScorpio]

11. I've got 7,000 books stashed away in my garage

No room for them in the house.

Nothing too valuable, however, I still have some Silver Age Kirbys in not the greatest condition

I never bought anything to sell at a later time.


I used them and used them to teach myself how to draw.

You've seen my art, right?

[Tom Kitten]

12. Yes

I saw it earlier and it looks really good. Seriously! I don't have photoshop on this laptop I use but I would have submitted something, I'm serious! My problem is I don't have access to Photoshop or Illustrator anymore...I have the programs but they're for Mac. I have 2 old Imacs but they're both broken, maybe if I could cannibalize the good parts from one to the other I could have a good working Mac. But it seems doing that with macs is not as feasible as, say, doing it with an old stereo or something.

13. A confession...

I have a thing for guys who wear flannel shirts and use power tools, much to the horror of my snootie friends.

[Tom Kitten]

14. I'm wearing flannel right now

It helps keeps me warm...I'm gonna try to get through the winter without turning the heat on until I find a source of income...besides my neighbor below keeps me warm (heat rising blah blah blah)...I also have power tools but they're in my basement storage unit nice and idle...If they had thumbs they would be twiddling right now waiting for me to come and use them...

[Connonym]
