Good luck with your next step, Fickles!

Thank you, Thoth.

I don't want to risk jinxing my plans by saying too much about them, but I will say I hope to have stuff to crow about in the Crow thread one year from now. Some good thoughts and positive energy would be greatly appreciated.

Hang tough, Annie. We got faith in you chasing a dream. I don't know what it is...but we got faith.

Thank you kindly, Rick.

Thanks for clarifying Ann. Sorry if we took it the wrong way. Hope it all works out well for you.

Thank you, Stile.

Do you have any idea what it feels like when you pour your heart and soul into an idea, for something that was very important to you, in the hope that someday if you work hard enough you can see it become a reality and finally share it with the world at large...

And then someone comes along and not only uses your idea but does it badly and you can't even say you were ripped off because you've never even spoken to this person.

Because that's how I feel after seeing that Green Arrow preview.

It started with prosthetic replacements for my corneas to treat cataracts
Then bariatric surgery to install plastic sleeves in my digestive tract, to assist on losing weight, to prepare me for:
Cobalt-chromium metal knee replacements, which took a year of surgery and physical therapy (and the left one still doesn’t work properly)
I am now part of the internet
My Google watch sends reports of my heart rate, sleep patterns, exercise routines, and more health data to my physician
And I now have a continuous glucose monitor, which reports to my physician, and to a second health organization, my moment-to-moment blood sugar levels in an attempt to control my diabetes

I am becoming more and more a cybernetic organism
You will be assimilated
Resistance is futile

Cyborg Klar! er, entwined Klar?

I hope you are comfortable at least?

Time to get a robo dog?

My mom injured herself late last night while getting out of bed. We still don't know how bad it is (although she is fully conscious and alert.)

I'm barely hanging in there. I've got my support system, my creative work, my comics, dvds, and cds, my laptop and phone.

And of course, Legion World.

Thanks, everybody!

hugs Annfie!

Back up hugs, Fickles!

Thanks, Ibby and Thoth!

Backup hugs to the backup hugs. Rest some and hang on.

Praying for you and your mum Ann.

Thank you, LT and Stile.

So I just spoke with her. The doctor says it's not a fracture, but a bruise. She'll still need care, but thank the higher powers above for small favors!

ah good news, that it's not as serious as originally thought!

Whew. Thanks for the update Fickles. Glad to hear it wasn't worse.

That is great news, Anne. Glad to hear it for you.

Good news. Glad to hear and thanks for letting us know.

Thanks so much, everybody!

A couple of days ago my long standing twitter account, which I've had for over a decade, got suspended permanently and I had to open a new one.

Apparently fascists get offended when you tweet about what should be done with them.

So, The Atlantic posts on FB this nice nostalgic article from 1957 by the great Steve Allen where he's expressing concern about where the next generation of comedians will get the necessary experience to hone their craft or something like that. Pretty cool, and a welcome change from so much of the annoying stuff the Atlantic page posts over and over again.

Except, of course, the comments section. Dude complaining about how the "woke, progressive left" won't let you produce real comedy classics like "American Pie" any more.

And the utter absurdity of this is driving me nuts at the moment. I mean... I haven't seen everything that Steve Allen was in, but I'm almost completely certain he never felt the need to have sexual intercourse with baked goods in order to be funny. And I really feel the temptation to post something like that in response to him, but also.know that engaging would be a waste of time, so I'm venting here.
