They are smaller and are harder to break. He sets up these huge battles. He has over two hundred when you take those and the G I Joe ones and the Star Wars ones he has. :)You should see the collection of SW and other action figure toys and vehicles I have packed away down in my basement. My woman says I should get around to putting them up on e-bay to make money off of them. Uh....no. :P It's one of my last bastion of attachment to my inner child that yearns to break free from this world we call responsibility. :)
Hubby had a few left over Star Wars toys that he gave to our oldest. I know that they would be worth a bit of something, but he wanted Kellen to have them. :)

Makes me wish I was younger again. Then again, it didn't help that Dad got me Star Wars lego. Pic's up on FB. :D
Or Sliders. ;)

Besides, if your vision isn't current, I don't want to be in the lane next to you when you're behind the wheel. ;)
I have those. Can they do anything about em? I just figured it was part of having bad vision. :\

Very Cool pics. :D
I can't wait for the baby to be a bit older and when he no longer puts things in his mouth and I can get things like that for my oldest. He would love it!
The fun part about the pics is coming up with the captions. :D
It was a toss up between Star Wars action figures and Lego expansion sets as being my primary passion when I was a child. I was sad to see a lot of it go in garage sales my mom hosted in the past.
That reminds me...is there a talking Bender figure or plushie out there....?

Not really my thing, but I do think Poker Face is kinda catchy .... in the same way I can appreciate Amy Winehouse's F' Me Pumps. Otherwise, metal is pretty much my listening diet.

Little spots in your vision that look like they are floating nd when you try to focus on em they move out of your direct vision. Its quite annoying. :)

Honestly got tired of nothing but cartoons with fart jokes. We watched like 3 shows that we could get online. SO we said screw it and turned it off. Saved bunches of money too. :)

Nah, I am pretty funky about what they are allowed to watch or play with, Bender would be in the NO catagorey. :)

Oh ... those, I have those. I didn't know there was a term for them. They're a mild annoyance that doesn't surface so often for me, luckily....

Sure for adults, and we catch it online. I got tired of SpongeBob and Ed Edd and Eddie. Things like that. :)

And, sometimes, an indicator of a more serious issue. Sometimes.

Loved the first couple of seasons of the show. I kinda liked the direction they were going with there at the end of the series.

Loved it right up till the end of Season 4. I only tolerated Season 5 after Jerry left the show. I treat the final episode as if it doesn't exist.

Yes seriously. Very large floater can be indicative of impending retinal detachment.

Yes seriously. Very large floater can be indicative of impending retinal detachment.
Now that I don't have. That said, I'm overdue for an eye exam next year anyway. Without corrective lenses, I'm actually at a -6 to -7.
Yeah, that bad.

I feel your pain, I was at -6.5 in both eyes and couldn't read the E....THE E!
Luckily Uncle Sam rallied the American Taxpayers and I got some free eye surgery!

Yo Gabba Gabba is for infants. No. They are allowed to wath X-men, and movies, when we are at someone elsed place they watch Scooby Doo or Spiderman, things like that. I don't want them to watch baby shows, but not fart jokes either, just too uch of it and its not unny, its gross. All I need is my kid making fart jokes at me when they are mad. Sure to make me madder. :\

Not that I'm afraid of having surgery, but I've been kind of nervous with anything involving the eyes and something going awry (given my luck with Murphy's Law). That and I get concerned about night vision with regard to driving and headlight halos.
I jokingly tell people that I'm a Helen Keller upgrade because I also only have 40% of my hearing too. :P

One of your kids still qualify as an infant. ;) Do they get to watch Iron Man cartoons and Clone Wars?

Urizen wrote:So, what does that score qualify you for? 156 out of a possible...?Out of 180. I could get in to quite a few third tier schools, and some decent 2nd tier schools. I won't get into Cornell though :)
Unless you're blue blood with a big bankroll or a walker with a sugar daddy. ;)

Yeah. We took them to see the Iron Man movie, they loved it. They have the Clone Wars on DVD.
The baby seems more intersted in Cars and WallE. Yo Gabba Gabba would annoy him I think. :)

Ah, I was talking about the Iron Man Cartoon...but then I realize, you don't have cable. :P And it's good to know that he's more into Pixar films.
