I think we are bigger in numbers than it seems, but we just need to speak up more. I won't speak for all women, but I know with me I was comfortable sitting on the sidelines and not really speaking up with folks. Anyways, I hope you are doing well! Thank you for the comment.

It became such a long running joke with my family and friends. They thought I was so lame. Now I think they will need to find something else to make fun of me for. lol<br /><br />I hope you find the Spike though! That unanswered feeling is the worst! And thanks for the comments!

Fortress Maximus sat up there, supposedly intact, until I went up there one day to find the Spike Headmaster figure missing. Now one else goes up there! Where could it have gone??

I'd love to call Hordak's bluff like that!<br />What would you do if you found yourself on top of the trapdoor with an angry hordak having his hand on the button?

It's a euphemism for insanity. my quote: who needs a tan when there's toys in the attic?" was quite a clever little way(if I do say so for myself) for me to say-"yeah,I'm a loser who needs to get a tan. But I'm carrazzay-so I'd rather look for toys!"combined with the literal version of the phrase which is also umm-get it? If u don't get that lame play on words then I dunno what I'm (waits for you to punch the trapdoor button dumping me to my doom because I've annoyed you now with word-play games)<br />I believe they reference the "toys in the attic" expression in the wall by Pink Floyd too so it's not just me right?People know what that means?<br /><br />spazzblisternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-14386304909671792922012-09-14T19:05:42.186-05:002012-09-14T19:05:42.186-05:00I know!

There were two coffins, a black one called the Coffin of Darkness and a red one, called the Coffin of Doom. They basically looked like the travelling coffins from the cartoon. I will have to post pictures of the red one I found.<br /><br />Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-48350055755668915602012-09-12T22:19:51.937-05:002012-09-12T22:19:51.937-05:00Much like your husband in this situation I would h...Much like your husband in this situation I would have been drinking-only I would have been drunkenly in the attic searching for toys. Who needs a tan when there's toys in the attic! (Although I probably would have drunkenly fell through the ceiling.) <br />I may have told you this already but I lost my He-Man sword when I was a wee lad (the one that came with the original first figure) probably never will find it and it may have been my worst toy loss -except for the time my Mr. Potato head pipe fell in the toilet and got flushed!

Of course I did get greedy and ended up buying another newly minted Glimmer myself a couple years after my birthday gift. I couldn't help it, I never thought I'd find my original Glimmer and I really wanted to open one! Now it seems I jumped the gun a bit.<br /><br />Grayskull is more complete than I thought it'd be. I love that article you did, and I will probably be reading it over again to check everything out. The trap door is a bit warped and there are some pieces missing. When I first got it I used it more for a place for She-Ra and her friends to chill at. So I don't have a lot of stuff. lol <br /><br />I don't think I have any Go-Bots, but I do have some Transformers. I am not sure of their names, but I do know that I had the brightly colored cassettes. I loved those and had a crazt affinity for cassettes back then.<br /><br />And I have been totally doing whatever I can to owe it to my brother. I bought him lunch today and will probably be doing that for the entire time he is here. I will also be putting his stuff up on ebay for him. Of course even that stuff can't totally repay him for what he did. Just amazing. <br /><br />Hope your week has started off well, talk to you later!Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-27610445160434725522012-09-10T18:06:36.560-05:002012-09-10T18:06:36.560-05:00Thank you Eric!
