I'm waiting for Hasbro to make this thing.

Good score Purge, that SBD is awesome, did you open it?

I didn't even realize that Kmart had layaway, but no worries.  I'm caught up for now on this wave, any Galactic Marines I find now are just gravy.

 

Or feel free to pass any GM's down my way    No I haven't opened him yet.  Can the "laser effect" that came with the previous SBD attach to the new SBD arm laser's?

Damn Fritz, customs always great stuff from you, but it's the way you take pics of them that really sell it.  Mindblowing stuff as always.

Jedipurge -- your story stayed with me all night.  I had to get up in the middle of the night and sneak into my little ones' rooms and kiss them goodnight again.  I'm sorry for your loss.

Which is the only reason I even mentioned it.  I've only shared this with one other person in our little community, and probably the only reason I'd shared it at the time with him is because he'd announced, not long after this had happened to us, that he was going to be a first time father.  Even though being a father, or parent at all, is special I'd just kind of wanted to convey to him how special and how much of a gift it is to have a child and not to take it for granted.  It's not till something bad happens that you really appreciate what you have.

Woah, you left me speechless jedipurge.  I can't even begin to imagine.

Thanks, one of the harder things was that we didn't know yet what it was and this is how we found out it was another girl.  We named her Sadie.  It's hard to get over, but not nearly as hard as others I've heard since it happened to us.  You know kind of those things that you know happens but until it happens to you.  This lady my wife knows has a grown daughter that had been married for 10 years and the doctors said she'd never be able to have children.  She winds getting a divorce and eventually gets a boyfriend to only get pregnant and lose the child 4 months in.  Another friend of a friend of my wife lost her baby while sitting on the tiolet.  Now THAT is something I can't ever imagine.  So while I think of how hard it's been I know we've had it "easy" compared to others so I'm just grateful that the 2 beautiful little girls I have are healthy and here.  And while I'm a believer in The Almighty I just hope I'll see my little one again someday.  We actually plan on putting that on her tombstone-Till we meet again-but at $16 a letter it'll have to wait.

Wow great topic.  The thing that stopped me dead in my tracks, was when I took my pregnant wife, 5 months along, to the ER when she was having contractions and after waiting about an hour or so until someone else got to the waiting room to watch our other 2 small children, I walk into her room and she tells me that her water had broke.  I just could not believe that it was happening, and after the 2 children we'd already had without any complications I couldn't wrap my head around how why it was happening.  I kept thinking how were they going to fix this, I couldn't think that we would actually lose her.  It wasn't until it was all said and done that they actually wrapped her little body in blankets and the little hats that they give the babies when there born and when I got to hold her that it hit me, that I realized it was all real.  Even the nurse that brought her to us said that she resembled our oldest daughter.  Now you wouldn't think at 5 months a baby is that fully formed but I assure you it is.  I will never ever forget the moment as soon as I walked in the door to her room and she said her water broke.  It still gives me shivers.  That was on Sept. 23 '06 and we go every weekend to her little grave and stay about 1/2 to an hour there.  But it's also a mind trip to see all the other little graves around hers, children that lived a couple of years and parents that actually got to know their children and hold them.

I could really use some of the ball knee joints from the 500th Vader/which ever other Vader he is used as in the Saga line.  I could use 6 of them.  I have lots to trade.  Just ask for what you might need and I might be able to dig it out.
