For the record, in nearly 50% of all cases, the first sign of cardiac problems is.......

drum roll please......

SUDDEN DEATH

Yup, the first sign there's a problem is that you're dead.

I'll be chock full of medical trivia in the coming year. Just wait!

Oh, and don't panic if you're making Number Two work for you and you get a little light headed. If you're straining, you've stimulated the vagus nerve which causes a drop in blood pressure and heart rate. It usually passes within a few minutes.

So if you're working it and get light headed, don't go toward the light, just wait......it'll pass. (pun intended)

I will have it for probably two weeks and then die of an aneurism while on the crapper.

At least you will go out doing something you love.

Actually, it doest take up as much space as you think. Sitting next to me as I type, I have about 65 longboxes worth of books. Keep in mind this is a 12' x 15' room, so I have to manage my space well. The trick is to stack and lace the boxes I go through the least and leave the ones I go through most often in a more accessable location in the room. For example; all of my common Valiants are near the bottom of a 5 box high, 6 box wide stack in far corner of the room, where as my Pre-Unity, variants, etc. are within arms length. You'll just have to prioritize what goes where based on how often you need to access specific boxes of material

David is right.

Figure around 250 per box. 60,000 books would amount to about 240 longboxes. Thats a LOT of books. You would need a good size bedroom or maybe a basement or a storage facility to store this kind of quantity. This is one reason why I'll be renting a LARGE dumpster at the end of this month in order to make room for 2 REALLY LARGE collections I intend to purchase near the end of the year. If everything pans out, it should total out to around 800 longboxes of material

. Gotta keep your stock up ya know?!

Anyhow, good luck with securing those books. Keep us posted on what happens and what you come up with

My fiance would be in heaven if I got down to 13 LB's

I'm betting there's about 2000 X-Force #1's in there.

If you're in the mood to put together some runs of the different series, I'm game for that. I could use nice NM runs of the cheapo titles right about now. And a pile of Eternal #4s would be nice too.

me too... the dentist sounded real cool on the phone...

I can just imagine....

(scene, a dentist office, the beginning of the day, the dentist addressing his employees)

Dentist: good moring all, I have a exciting and cutting edge project for someone today

Barbi: oh, me, me, ...is it a new procedure for impacted molars?

Sandi: No pick me, pick me, ....is it using lasers on a root canal?

Dentist: no, no, I need someone to look through those 150 long boxes and pull out all the VALIANT comic books.

(stuned silence)

(BTW, when I called him today, I told the recptionist I was asking aobut the comic books, I got right to the dentist.....

)

slym2none · Post by **slym2none** » Sat Sep 09, 2006 12:51 am

Dude... I'd rather he pulled them out himself! Think about it - the assistants think this is a crappy job, start grabbing and flinging comics around.....

Let's hope there is at least one whole box full!!!
