What Grinds Your Gears?!19739
 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| When an exciting looking event shows up in my Facebook feed and I look closer only to find that the event is not near my home but on the other side if the country. I like Motley Crue as much as the next guy but I really could care less if the show is in California. Do better Facebook. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Don't go HAM when you get back into it. I'm 41 and still struggle with getting back into the gym. Love clanging and banging but damn, there are days I feel it. It was a lot easier when I was 25. I just do what I can do, and need to be better with the diet. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I was visiting family for Easter and my cousin's kids just play their video games all day. Not on a handheld device but PC and consoles. Three and a half days in the same house with them and saw them maybe 30 combined minutes. It's weird that when hosting Easter, these two kids were just hanging out in their dungeons, not even bothering to acknowledge anyone. They aren't spectrum kids either. Pretty sure my mother would have smacked the manners right into me. It's not difficult to make some appearances. But this is a lot of what I see now. I observe so this is all anecdotal on my end, but boundaries need to be set and enforced. I'm all in favor of no phones in the classroom. I don't know what the rules are, but I wouldn't allow it. It definitely wasn't allowed when I was in high school, granted the Nokia 5160 wasn't as cutting edge as what the kids have now. I was in Catholic school as well so they didn't have to play by the public school rules. Even if there are rules to take phones at the beginning of the day and they get them back at the end, kids would still have a burner phone or stuff them in their prison pockets. |

| People on Facebook that use their social media accounts as a means to post "facts" instead of offering fact-checked information and the sources they got said information from. Namely how a CGC 8.0 (White to Off-White pages)copy of All Star #8 would never sell for ~$2 million because somehow auction houses (like Heritage Auctions) abide to the rule of FMV. Along with talks of the cover not sporting Wonder Woman, it is not an iconic cover, Wonder Woman does not have the same sales power as both Batman and Superman, and one claiming comics has always been a male-dominated hobby. Meanwhile... - Superman's Girlfriend (Girl Friend?) Lois Lane helped expand interest to both female readers and those who only liked her as a character. - Batman eventually had Batwoman, Bat-Girl, four Batgirls, two female Robins (Which probably grinds @HeinzDad's gears. <-Joke.), Catwoman, Vicki Cale, and Talia al Ghul all either be story/plot points or become titular spin-off characters that had buying/staying/merchandising power. - Wonder Woman has proven that she needed Steve Trevor to boost sales as much as she needed her 1960s reboot to be permanent.  - Heritage Auctions will never be eBay auctions. Because eBay auctions are mostly used by those on a budget, while HA is there for those who don't always know how to budget. |

| Unlike others I have not returned to the gym but instead I returned to the pool! Swimming is low impact but depending on the stroke a)my shoulder actually feels better b) my knees are now low level constant say 1 of 10 pain...has to be because of the different action the knees are getting? Plus side..as a 51yr old the different swim time calculators say I"m intermediate (better than 50%) for my 400m (usually do 1km + just 2 times a week so far -not the 4 or 5 like in my youth!!)...need to shed some pounds and shave a minute off my time to get to advanced!! (faster than 80% in my age bracket!) |

| Just wanted to circle back to my pressing issue. Steve had me send my comics back in and after evaluating them, they are being pressed and regraded free of charge. Excellent customer service! Thanks to everyone that encouraged me to reach out. | ||
