last time you heard, my life was a wreck, wife and i lost are good jobs moving to alabama(promised transfer and a better job which never happened), while bills piled up and we had few work hours, while living with the inlaws. living paycheck to paycheck, had not bought a joe in months.
that was a short while ago, since then, hours at my job have picked up, bills have been decreasing, im going to cali with a free ticket from united(had a bad experince the first time with a cancelled flight), and i have an interview for a job, also while im down their, i will talk with family about moving back and will do a job hunt. my sis in law moved out so its not so crazy here at the house. im still having the nightmares and stuff from the ptsd, but as the stress dwindles down, its getting less and less. so i want to thank you for all the support and private pms in one of my darker moments, riotcontrol, thank you for the support, and the same goes out to viper. so anyways, about the 2 joes. the wife and i had to take the baby to bham(birmingham) for a doctors visit. we live 45 mins away and got in to town too early. so we stopped at toys to look around and get overnight diapers for the baby. i decided to check out the joes since i have not seen the new POC(dont have them in my area). i was blown away by duke and beachhead. the whole time in tru i wouldnt stop talking about has amasing they where. so my wife told me to get them. my jaw dropped, i said we shouldnt spend the money. she told me this, "it has been a while since you got a joe, we are catching up on the bills, and its only 14 dollars for the two. she even agreed that the BH was a great looking figure so i could not argue with that lol. sorry for the long post, and i can honestly say, this is probably one of the first times i didnt have buyers remorse lol.

I'm glad to hear that things are looking up for you! Here's hoping that it continues...
Those were the first two PoC figures I bought, too. I found a full case, right after it had been put out and I grabbed those guys and a Snow Job. (Yes, I passed on all the chase figures and I still have no regrets). They are both fantastic figures. |
