Real life sucks but that is why we love toys! They are NOT real life, they are an ESCAPE from reality. They take us back to a time when life was more simple for most of us.

Hang in there Ham! Congratulations on a future addition. Children are a true blessing. We just had our third on Friday. They make life bearable!

Real Life does suck, Hammy. But it does get better. Congrats on your baby–it will change your life forever. And make you more worried and more happy than anything else.

And cut down on your toy monies. But sharing is also fun. You’ll be a great dad. Congratulations!

I’m really glad to hear things are getting better. And congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy! How fun it will be to share your toy collection with Ham Jr.

I’m rooting for you, Hammy!

She’s doing better. Being laid off hasn’t helped, but the cancer is gone, which is the important thing.

True, but I hate it when the bad stuff piles on like it did!

I forgot to add: Start the kid off right by surrounding them with stuff you like. I started mine off with episodes of the Super Friends on VHS and Pokemon at age 4. We went to the movies to watch Yugio on the big screen. And used to play HeroClix on Friday nights before the game went on hold. Now we are playing Super Hero City and reading Brightest Day together and he actively goes to Wikipedia to read about characters he does not know. He is going to a Halloween gathering Friday as the Riddler.

Ham, glad I got to meet you at SDCC in 2006. We were standing in line for some panel and you introduced yourself. I still remember. Glad to hear things are turning around for you.

As for future blogs, you do have that fantastic JLU photo album. I’m sure you could work that into several blogs.

Agreed on all counts.
Life has been bad the past two years.
Life does get in the way (Has anyone seen Ryan in the blog-osphere?).
Masked Avenger is right too. Toys and this site can be a bright spot in an otherwise gray day.

Oh, kids are awesome. My first just went off to college and I miss her a lot. My other is now my cartoon watching, comic reading buddy.

Congratulations on the promotion AND the baby!

Real life gets in the way for all of us. But this community is also a great support system. Don’t ever be afraid to lean on us or to talk about “real life” stuff.

I hope we do get to see some more blogs from you.
