Deficiencies that make them idjits in the first place?

I went to a dermatologist for some psoriasis on my knee. They give you the full body check and I had this little mole in my mustache. She did a biopsy and it was a basal cell precancer thingie. I had surgery where they cut open a part of the right side of my face down to my lip. I was knocked out for this and released same day. The first two weeks I wasn't allowed to chew or use my lip. I survived on pasta with meat sauce and macaroni. I lost 10 pounds. Three weeks later the "skin flap" is pretty much healed but the skin is still swollen thick, numb and is either tingly or throbbing. Lotsa pain and I slept on my back on the couch so I couldn't accidently roll over onto my cheek in my sleep. And no hair is growing there so I don't know if I can have a mustache again!

Michaels getting rid of models?
Tom Geiger replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My local Walmart now has a guy at the door putting a yellow highlighter mark on your receipt as you leave the building. No doubt having a lot of theft with people coming back in the store with their bag and duplicating their purchases! Michaels is going down! I heard they are so broke that they cannot replace batteries on the forklifts in the distribution centers so guys are humping loads manually. All brick and mortar stores are in a decline. I just found out my local Staples store is closing. Its a larger one, and they are consolidating in the smaller store one town away, as they try to get everyone to order online instead. -
Tolerate stupidity and you will get overrun by idjits!

Found in a warehouse.

Super project! I saved photos of a real one in the crate for years hoping to build this one day. You beat me to it! Glad someone built it! -
Nice model! My family had both a 1970 Impala Coupe and a 1971 Bel Air sedan when I was growing up.

Super build! I love the color scheme and the headlights! -
Desired results are often not achieved by whiney lazy people who refuse to put in the necessary work

Thank you to everyone for their service. I grew up in the Army, I was an Army Brat until I was 16 and my dad retired. Army families are a world of their own. We moved every two or three years so it was an interesting life. I lived in Izmir Turkey from 1966-68 and Pirmasens Germany from 1969-72.

Ollie's strike again
Tom Geiger replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Interesting that the post office Pintos showed up at Ollies. I couldn't find them at retail in the real world of stores and shows! I did manage to get one. If anyone bought a bunch of them for other than USPS use, I could use a few sets of those postal decals to build other postal vehicles! -
Breakfast is highly overrated, I prefer to just have coffee and wait until lunchtime for any real food.

Funny thing... my eBay sales chime (cha-ching like a cash register) kept going off during the game. So there were folks not watching!

Tom Geiger started following Michaels in Canada to stop carrying plastic model kits?

Michaels is slowly going down the tubes. I'm in USA. I wound up with a $50 gift card for free as a credit card premium. I envisioned getting about a dozen of those shoe box sized photo / craft boxes I use for my eBay stamp inventory. I get there and am shocked to see they want $7.99 for a box! These are $2.99 and $3.99 at Hobby Lobby depending on the decoration on them! So at $7.99 I wasn't doing that even with a free card! Then I see their gimmick.. everything in the store is way overpriced and they are depending on their 30-50% sales to bring people in, and at that point the prices are the normal price in competing chains. So right before Christmas I saw the 50% off sale and bought boxes for $3.99. I extinguished my gift card and paid a few cents cash. Never Michaels again!
