I just pre-ordered the new Star Wars Legion Separatist Starter Set but maybe I need this too...

3 lidocaine patches, 4 ibuprofen & a heating pad. Sitting in my classroom right now like Ron Swanson when he threw out his back.

2 days ago, I hurt my back lifting Mitten's litter bag. Yesterday, I was sore but okay with Ibuprofen & heat. This morning, I literally just took my shirt off the hook & I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. My entire back seized & now I am walking like Frankenstein. Fitting for Halloween.

I made two of these bad boys when I played Legion. I did them in a hexagon forest camo pattern with scenic bases that included felled logs and a crushed droid. I have so many regrets selling them on eBay. 😭

My wife: "We just got back $119 returning clothing the girls didn't like the feel of."

Me: "Awesome!"

My wife: "But I also got them new skirts and jeans. It was $150."

My #Greathelm project is going to be put back a bit as I wait for my shield decals to come in from Canada. My laptop also decided to die just as I started my YouTube channel. Until then, I have lots of other stuff I am working on and will post here.

I already have a sign. But there are none on public corners or easements. I see tons of Jack ones though.

I wish Mikie Sherrill would actually get in the race. I live in North Jersey and there isn't a hint of her signs anywhere.

I was the literal opposite. Loved the OG film, loved the first season but completely disliked the series as it went on. SG: Atlantis was my favorite though.

What we’ve learned from the recently released Uvalde docs after CNN first uncovered them | CNN More than 2,000 pages of documents were released Wednesday by the school district in Uvalde, Texas, weeks after CNN’s exclusive reporting showed the district’s lawyers withheld records the school boar...

Every new bit of information that comes out about Uvalde, the angrier and angrier I get. This was such an epic failure by the school district and police department. Not a single officer on that force should still be allowed to wear a badge.

I feel like Hegseth watched Sicario 1 and 2 in a single night and was like, "Yeah, we should go to war with the cartels."

Wages are low and the cost of childcare is astronomical. When my wife and I had our two daughters in childcare at the same time, it was more expensive than our mortgage payment.

What do you use for your building's bases? I typically use MDF but lately I'm having a lot of warping issues with it.
