100lb Package

Living in fear of 100lb package! If you didn’t read the blog post titled, Best Find Ever, better go ahead and do that..but come back.    (…………)

OK, so let me say that at first I was exasperated that she wanted to buy comic books from a store like that. Understand, we have found comic books in old historic antique shops in small rural towns, to buying them in Amish country ((they REALLY underprice!)) #barnfinds      Anyway, it took me by surprise that she was interested in buying comic books that would probably not generate any kind of profit – for she is at heart, a business minded individual. Less than 50.00 and forget it..but this is a major chain store and they have to want to be making a profit (she probably will tell me how they do that). However, my mind has now shifted consciousness to a level that has some scary hypothesis. For instance, I am going to get woken up at 8am by a delivery man who needs my signature on a large package. I can’t even imagine how comic book people package that many comic books and ship them safely. Oh, I hope they are experienced in shipping or they will be quickly informed to go to hell by my #nerdgasm girlfriend. Back to the main point (I am living in fear of 100lb package!) Next, and worse, what if the delivery man does NOT wake me up, but instead is an igmo who puts the package on the porch, within the reach of our Great Pyrenees who is lovable but has no respect for our things. And then what if I don’t find the package torn up BEFORE she does? This is important because if I can get away with it, I would open the package (assuming our GP didn’t destroy everything, she usually only maims our things) and present it as if I meant to open it and was so excited that ‘I threw the box into the back of the truck so you wouldn’t see it and know they were here’. Baby, sometimes, ignorance IS bliss. At last, I have reached a new point in this comic book collection, because I find myself excited, too. I don’t overly enjoy reading comic books ((I am ADDICTED to fiction, without pictures)), but I do enjoy the look of---words are lacking---on her face when she goes on a new adventure with a comic book. I don’t think people take the time to understand what the imagination can turn a story into.  “Nerds/Geeks” have the BEST IMAGINATIONs! So, while I do reserve worry over the package arrival, I can see a comic book display such as in a comic book store in our living room one day…and I’m already decorating the room to happily include it. #100lbpackage
