also, with the upcoming Inhumans team set, it makes me wonder how long we'll have to wait to get Crystal, Triton, Gorgon, and Lockjaw (the one character we may never get).

The State of the Dolf Address.
Warning!! The following post is about my personal life, so if you are not interested, then please scroll down to the next post or give me a tl;dr. Thanks I just wanted to give everyone a quick update as to what is happening in my life, and how it may not may not affect my participation on the thread. This is certainly not a post to ask for praise or anything, rather I just wanted everyone to know where I might be… I will begin a new position with a new company on the 27th after I get back from the beach for a week. It is the job that I mentioned a few weeks ago. I am excited because it will allow me to maintain my technical skills, but it also allows me to dip my feet into the leadership/management side of a corporation. I will be leading a technical team of five folks, so I am very happy about that. My responsibilities and expectations are also very heavy as well. At my current position, I have mastered my trade, and there was no more room for career growth, so this was the next logical step to put myself in a position to provide for my family for years to come. Sadly, I doubt I will be able to walk into my new office a on the first day, and hop on the Tank. I seriously doubt I will be able to be online at all during the day for months to come. That bums me out, but I will still post in the evenings after family time is over. I am also upset, because, as you know, I keep my collection at cube. I doubt it would be the professional or responsible decision to do to walk in on the first day or first few weeks and set up my toys. I plan on migrating them into my cube slowly over time, but not right away. I love looking at my MU collection all the time though. I will probably pull figures out from time to time at home and display them (most likely erotically), and share with you all though. So if you guys could please text me the BBTS news and such, then I would be greatly appreciative. Next, as you may or may not been aware, I was going through a separation in my marriage since January. I moved into an apartment, and had my kids four days a week. That was the most difficult, challenging, and depressing time of my life. Whether you know it or not, this thread and you guys helped me take my mind off a lot of sad thoughts, so I am forever in all of your debts for helping me through the battle. I am happy to say that my wife and I have worked things out, and I have moved back into my home again with my wife and kids. There was really no one reason for the separation other than constant arguing with one another over petty things (I am a neat freak, possible OCD, and she certainly is not) and probably stress from the kids. However, as the months went along, and we both tried to become independent people, we realized that we still loved for one another and we needed to raise our children together. Divorce is a hard thing to go through, and I strongly sympathize with anyone who has gone through that experience. While the process was hard and expensive since I moved into the apartment with only my clothes, I think things will be good for us from now on. So does anyone want a nice, fully furnished apartment set? Looking for trades for Sub XFAA and Invaders Torch – haha. So there you have it; that is my current situation. I consider many of you my friend, and I just wanted to give some insight as to what is happening with me, as well as where I might or might not be in regards to posting here. I still plan on collecting, I just wish I could display my stuff right away. Maybe I will start a small loose collection area with those cases that Hags posted, and call it Dolfkers Island I now return you to the thread. |

Lol, I figured as much based on your avatar alone.

So I don't necessarily think there's a correlation between working for money and actual good spending habits. They're two different animals to me. I have two 3 year olds who have more toys than clothes or food in the pantry. Because I'm such a big fan of toys, we generally buy them anything we think they'd really like, which ends up being a lot of crap. Often, when they're asking for something different or more than what they have in hand at the store, I can identify that they're just asking for more, and don't really want or need more than what they've got. Even if they get the 'better' item, there's no guarentees they'll actually enjoy it more, or even at all. So there could be a lot more at play than the 'Fuck you, I'm keeping my $12 and you're on your own' mentality. Of course after reading your state of the Dolf, I understand that you probably know exactly as much as I do, if not more, and were speaking to a very specific type of situation. Congrats on such great news, man! |

I so wanted to post a pic of the Inhumans right now. But there's no good pics of them altogether. Most of the better pics don't have Lockjaw in them. Sounds like another art project for me...

That's great news Dolf! Congrats on the new the job, maybe now you can grab that Hot Toys Black Widow.. ;)
Seriously though, I'm glad to hear that things are good between you and your wife again. I won't get all mushy, but what you have sounds like a good thing but life just got overwhelming for a little while. I know what that's like, and it's good that you guys worked through that and realized what was important. Anyway, we'll keep you up to date on things (though I lost your number when my phone broke.. so pm me sometime). Also, don't tell me your vacationing on VA Beach.. lol. Quote:
I half-suspected it though since you were saying we--while not in direct context to your children. So, i thought we was your wife as well.
Glad to hear that dolf!!! You make a fan of the nuclear family unit proud! Plus your wife is hot so I doubt you could do better..hahahah. Quote:

@Al - I am getting much more sexy time with her than before. Hopefully that will keep up. @PIG - Thanks for the nice compliment. I took things for granted for too long. Never again. @Fri - I am heading down to Myrtle on Saturday, so no secret meeting for us lover :( @Wii - I'll always have my dream girl of a slutty, white-trash whore in my head - haha. Now everyone, please don't get things confused...I still plan on talking about skanks, sluts, and wanting to bone chicks. I plan on keeping this thread in the gutter where it belongs ;) Thanks again.

This is the part that stuck out to me the most, and I most certainly agree with it. My kids aren't 'privileged' by any stretch of the imagination, but they've almost always had more than they've needed. There's a large degree of difference between teaching a lesson about entitlement, and just being an asshole. But to be honest, as a parent I've vacillated many times between the two spectrums (and all the areas in between) as the situation dictates.

Here is your AvX tie-in report for tomorrow...
Avengers #29 - Do you remember the Rachel-centric issue of WatXM #12 from 2 months ago? It featured a fight between the X-Men and the Avengers on the abandonned airplane field where Rachel was hunting/hounding for Hope. It is completely irrelevant now, and doesn't matter, but just in case you are curious, Avengers #29 shows things from the Avengers side of that same fight. So go ahead and spend your $4 on that now!HAHA. AvX #10 - A new team-up that should be one for the ages!!! In non-AvX titles: Avengers Academy #35 - White Tiger gets her final exam. New Mutants #47 - Does did the Hellions get here? Uncanny X-Force #29 - Psylocke just made "shit get real!" X-Men #34 - Cyclops is pissed that Storm is keeping secrets.

As for the allowance issue, my daughter (who is almost 9) gets $5 a week IF she's done the few things we ask her to do every week. which is basically cleaning her room by Friday afternoon of every week and having a good attitude.
Very seldom has she not gotten her allowance but there have been a few times. I don't feel like we are asking anything of her that she is not capable of doing.
