Archie Comics Fan Forum

Wow, it's awesome to get this site rolling again. I hope to involve everyone in what my day was like. Even if it was bad. And trust me we all got to vent. I was unable to go out today because yesterday Wheelchair medic took my power chair. The gears are broken in the chair. So they said the loner chair would come today & it never did. The company called they will come tomorrow. I'll say a prayer that they come.

I spent most of the day getting this site back up. Good to be back finally though I'm still really disappointed that we lost over 10 years of posts and other content.

I cleaned the house, ate, watched The Odd Couple II movie.

I had a picnic with my friends from high school. We went to Eggers Ice Cream Parlor and then after headed towards the mall. Fun times. But back to school tomorrow

I'm at work but afterward I've gotta drive up through LA to Westlake Village.  That could take forever.  But it's all good because tomorrow I'm heading to Santa Barbara to see Elvis Costello.  I just have to survive the traffic tonight. 

I have been waiting for the wheelchair chair medic to come so they can give me a loner. I hope they get there when my aide comes. Even though they were supposed to come with it yesterday.

I went to school and then met my friend at Hylan Plaza. We went to Kmart, toys r us,and ate pizza. Then we went to best buy near the mall,toys r us again different location not at hylan plaza. Then we went in the mall. Now I'm back at my school

Had a full day already and its 10am :/

I got up early & got the Riverdale podcast. I'll listen to when I go bed later. I read some library books. I took a shower & my brother is going come over. He will bring pizza & we will go to the library.

I slept all day!  ;D

I have been feeling rotten all day,because of allergies  :buck2:

Today I went to the bank to put in some money I am using to spend in Atlantic City when I go with my friends. Then I went to my father's house, we watched some Married with Children season 10. I had work at 5pm. I made it 4 minutes before 5pm lucky me :).

I cleaned lingerie but then the manager wanted me to go help in the Men's Section. I was put on register when the line got super long. Then I went back into Men's but I had to go back to lingerie because it became a mess again. :buck2:

Now I am home relaxing. Tomorrow I am going to a deaf church which will be an deaf event I need for my sign language class in school.

busy day. I was cleaning Lingerie and then I had to clear out the accessories bin, go clean the luggage and then do it all over again at work while spending 45 minutes on the register

We really appreciate all your hard work, Oldiesmann. Thanks.   :smitten:

Reading mostly, the wheelchair Medic should call me today, I need my power chair back. The loner they gave me is not so good. It's raining today we wouldn't go any way.

@BettyReggie

It's raining here too!  I remember when I had to use a wheelchair.  It was fun for a while, but then it started to get annoying.  Say, I cant remember if you live in the Bronx or Manhattan.  Doctor Strange is being shot as I type this in Manhattan.  Might be worth checking out (to you or anyone else who lives in or near Manhattan)

Back waiting to see advisement again to fix my credits because they didnt over the last week. My college says i have 115 and i need 120. But last week they said i had over 120 but didnt want to fix it for me online. So back in person

I have been cleaning the house all morning.

Well my school is right. I need two more classes

Long day, we couldn't go out because of the weather & plus my power chair is not back yet. My aide's daughter just had a baby girl. Her name is Lyric. She's cute.

So I just filmed an American Sign Language video for my class. Its due tomorrow at 8am. My partner is going to email it to the professor

Lyric. That's a peculiar name. Never met or heard of anyone named Lyric.

Today is a busy day because i have tons of homework to do

Since my power chair my aide & I will be able to go to the salon. I need a trim. I'll post pictures on my twitter page later. I ate lunch at home to save the money. And we will go to the library. 
And we did that. I got a trim at the beauty salon. My mom is going help me dye my hair. We did some grocery shopping at Foodtown. & we also went get a drink at KFC.  I got a refill to bring it home to mom. She loves Fountain Soda. And since we haven't been to the thrift store we went there. In there book section they had comics. I bought Archie #380 & #385 & #403 & #415 & World Of Archie #6 & Archie #3000 #16 & Betty & Veronica Christmas Spectacular #580 & #629 & Betty & Veronica Summer Fun#611.

Was this the thrift store you mentioned last year BettyReggie? ( i think called Unique?)

I might have to check out the Brooklyn Location  :)

Yes it's called Unique.

What color are you dying it? Blonde?


I've never been able to find Archie comics at a thrift store. You are lucky.

Red, I will have post pictures on my Twitter page . It's too tricky now to post pictures there. I liked my signature before on my page.

I might plan a trip to the thrift store soon. I havent been to the one that BettyReggie goes to in a few years. Maybe the Brooklyn Location (the one closer to me) will have some  treasures! :)

Looked at the price for Paul McCartney's tickets! 280$ for one seat, sigh. Gotta think about it.

I went to 2 college classes today and really that is about it other than driving to and from the campus to home. I also ate breakfast and lunch.

My aide & I stayed home. It was raining all day. I colored in one of my stress free coloring books. No good mail, no comics :'(.

^ Yesterday an aunt of mine gave me a  birds-theme adult coloring book.  These past few weeks I haven't been in the mood for coloring though.

I gave my girlfriend one of those Adult Stress Relief Color Book of Animals. She loves it.

On my way home from a long day out from 6am till now. Hate thursdays

Went to the Cleveland Chinatown. Had some dim sum and Chinese bakery items.

The final thing I am going to do today is brush my teeth and turn my bedroom lights out and go to bed. Good Night.

I am at college waiting for my first class to begin.

I read & took pictures of my wall. I updated my comic frames. Now I have 6 Jughead issues & the 6 commissions on my wall. I had to cancel my rides for tomorrow, it's going bad out there.

I have gone to 2 of my 3 college courses so far today and now am eating lunch on campus in one of the Cafes. I have 1 more courses today and then I am heading home for the start of the weekend and spending some time with my girlfriend.

My midtown comics package just came with a lot of Goodies. And we went to the library. I returned 3 books & took out 4 books. I got a soda & fries for a snack. I bought the refill for my mom. Sssh and we took a lot of straws. Hey I buy a lot there.

Right now I am on the Staten Island ferry going to work. I went to a museum in the city for part of my ASL class deaf events

I am home from my college courses today and ready to start the weekend although it is rather chilly outside so it may be an indoor type of weekend.

At work. I got 15 minutes before i start another 5 hours (minus 15 minutes for a break) of cleaning

My girlfriend should be over in about 10 minutes then we are going to watch the movie Room with Brie Larson.

I'm so tired. Work was a mess the lady working in womens did no work :tickedoff:

So we all had to pitch in at 10pm to clean it up :tickedoff:

The movie that I watched this evening Room with Brie Larson with my girlfriend was good, but the company was better. We are now just chatting for the remainder of the evening until she goes home.

I'm listening to some of the oldest episodes of The Riverdale Podcast beginning from back in March 2012, over at http://riverdalepodcast.com/archive (http://riverdalepodcast.com/archive). The news segment is dated, of course, but otherwise these are still very entertaining and well worth listening to.

For some reason the links for Episode #2 and #3 are broken, or got moved, so unfortunately I missed those episodes, but the rest of the early ones seem to be still there. On Episode #6, which I'm listening to now, Jonathan briefly mentions a SABRINA movie "now in production at Sony". Another one of those media adaptations that never came to fruition...

I plan on listening to a few of these at a time, whenever I get the chance, until I catch up to where I first came in.

I just woke up and have not even gotten out of bed yet so I haven't done much. It is raining outside and only suppose to reach the low 40's today so it looks like I will not be doing much outside today.

I woke up so late today 10:50am. However, i did have a tough week. Glad to catch up on sleep. Back to work at 5pm today to do it all over

I woke up a while ago. Had an oatmeal smoothie and did laundry.

This is definitely going to be a laid back Saturday. The weather is so dreary and it is making me tired. I took a shower and ate two Toaster Strudels. Now I am going to watch some T.V..

About to get ready 4 work, i start at 5pm. Leaving at 4:30pm

Just waiting for my girlfriend to come over for dinner. Then I think we may actually play some board games with my parents and my little sister. My family is cool like that with my girlfriend since we have been in a relationship since 2010. Then maybe some television if we both feel like it.

people are so rude at my job. messy and don't put things back were they belong. we got out 25 minutes late

I just woke up and even though it is still rather cold outside the sun is shining so I might go to the skate park in my county today and ride if it warms up just a little later on this afternoon. I also plan on finishing the Christmas stories from the Archie's Christmas Stocking Digital Exclusive that I started yesterday. My girlfriend also wants me to go to Dick's Sporting Goods with her today so we can buy her a sleeping bag that is for colder temperatures. We are going on a camping trip this week(Friday- Sunday) and she has to be prepared for cold evening temperatures to sleep in.

I dyed my hair L'Oreal Paris Feria Smokey Pastels Permanent Hair color, Smokey Pink. It's really cool. I love it.

I didn't go to the skate park because it is only about 40 degrees and is a little windy. I am going to pick up my girlfriend around 4:30 and we are going to look at sleeping bags for our camping trip this weekend and then go to Famous Dave's BBQ for dinner.

On my way to another day at work 3:30pm through 8:30pm

Bought a nice sleeping bag for my girlfriend for our upcoming camping trip this weekend and had some nice BBQ Baby Back Ribs and French Fries with her great company at dinner. Now we are back at home watching the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.

I'm finally in bed. I was watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. My brother lent me the Netflix. I finished it, I'll mail it tomorrow. I'm listening to the Jon & Lea show on 970 the Answer.

Time to hit the sack as I have 3 college classes to tackle tomorrow morning. It has been a cold weekend, but I still managed to have fun which is always good.

another day at work, it was terrible. Marshalls was so dirty, the customers do not care where they put their stuff. I noticed they looked at me when they tried to put stuff in the wrong places, so I stared them down. They actually put the stuff in the right spot then.

At home, my mom helped me do my taxes. Now I am relaxing since I have a busy day tomorrow. I have to go to my school ( either tomorrow or wednesday i need to get a new ID since mine is missing :/) I am going to Manhattan to sell some books at Strand. I am excited for that one. Then I got called into work at 5pm. Busy. I have to fit in homework somehow.  I cannot wait to see how much $ i make with selling books :)

My mom helped me find a part time job but i still have to apply for it. I hope i get it. I could use the extra money  :smitten:

I am up and started another week of college classes. I have 3 today of which I am currently in the 2nd one right now suppose to be doing some reading, but I took a little break. The class ends in less than 30 minutes and I am almost finished the assignment anyway. Then just 1 more class and I am on my way back home to spend what looks like is going to be a rainy day listening to some music and some time with my girlfriend.

I wrote a email to Archie comics, I'm fed up with not receiving my issues. I have still not gotten Archie #6 & #7. And I have 24 Archie issue subscription which I bought back in December 2015. I told them give me my money back. Plus Jughead #5 hasn't come yet. I told them just cancel my Archie subscription.But I still have all my $25 Betty Gift Cards which I still wish to use if Betty & Veronica ever come out.

I didn't do much today other go to 3 college classes this morning. I than came back home and did some of my laundry that I will need for this weekends camping trip with my girlfriend. I then made some BLT's for me and my girlfriend as we elected not to go out to dinner with my parents and little sister. Now we are just sitting here and probably going to watch some Simpsons episodes on FX. Tomorrow after I go to my 2 college classes in the morning I am going to put up the tent in the backyard so it can air out before we go camping on Friday.

Shopping, of course.  ;D

I went to sell my books but it was a waste of time, considering i only sold one for $3 :tickedoff:

I went to work later in the day. Not that bad of a night

My girlfriend just said goodnight as she has early courses tomorrow like myself. Next on my evening agenda is a shower and then going to bed. It has been an all around good day today.

On my way to school. Right now I am on the bus and its 6:30am :/

I do this every tuesday/ thursday but at least its only 1  class today for tuesday only

The professor was a jerk today and she got real mad because no one understood the assignment she gave us :2funny:

Went to my two college courses this morning and now I am back home. I was going to put the tent up for this weekends camping trip with my girlfriend to air out, but it looks like it is going to rain. I guess that will have to wait till tomorrow. I am thinking of cooking up some popper fried shrimp for lunch in a little bit. I am just listening to some music right now.

Woke up early, finished reading Archie's Block Party while I was having breakfast. Then I went out and ran some errands. Went to the library. Came home, I dusted the living room furniture,  swept and moped the floors and the stairs. I am tired!

My aide couldn't come today so I do things I want to do. I read & went on the computer. I'm going skip going to the library. They only have 1 book to pick up. Maybe we will go another day.

The rain hasn't come down and the sun is peeking out so I am going to air out the tent in the backyard for this weekends camping trip with my girlfriend. Even if it does rain tonight it will still have time to dry out before I have to take it down before we leave on Friday.

My friends came over. We played a nice game of monopoly and watched Hot Pursuit

I did put the tent up in the backyard and the rain has held of so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to stay away until it completely gets aired out and I can take it down and then just have it ready for the trip on Friday.

I just woke up around 10am. I am planning on leaving soon. I have to go to school to get a new ID card and also pay my $25 late fee in tuition so i can take my summer school classes

I just finished my 2nd class of 3 today and then I will head home. I plan on meeting my girlfriend for lunch at Red Robin and then I will probably go home a veg out. Maybe later I will take down the tent if I feel that it is aired out enough.

I went out by myself before my aide comes. I went to Lot Less & bought screen protectors for my phone. I got 5 of them. They give 2 in each enevople so now I have 10 of them. I went to Food Town & my mom her milk & pretzels & BBQ Sauce & nutty bars. I got a early lunch at Popeye's. And bought the soda for mom. She loves Fountain soda. And I also went tlo the Library. I returned 4 books & took out 3 books. Now I'm finally home . I took my sneakers & braces off. My feet are howling.

Just got to the Red Robin where I am going to meet my girlfriend for lunch. They have great burgers and milkshakes.

I got my old i.d back. Someone brought it to the lost and found. I did not have to pay $15 for a new one. I also paid my $25 late fee for my tuition. I put in my summer classes but i can't take 2 classes for the first session in june. So i took one class thats for june and july and one for june. Two classes. I graduate august 2016 hopefully

Had a great lunch with my girlfriend. I ate the A 1 Peppercorn Burger with Fries and the Freckled Lemonade. Now I am home and later I am going to take down and pack up the tent for the weekend camping trip this Friday.

Just arrived at work. The new schedule isnt up yet. I hope its up by friday so I can see if i got off for my Atlantic City vacation. The boss asked me if i can work tomorrow but funny thing is another manager took me off the schedule so i can go to school. Weird :/

I am just going to relax tonight and listen to some music and most likely watch more episodes of The Simpsons. I think my Mom is making her ever famous Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes which I love for dinner.

It would have been great, but you might not have the job anymore. :)

I finished my 2 classes and now I am headed to my car to drive back home. Don't have much planned for today. I may just read some more Pep Digtal comics on my iPad.

I am currently on a break in the school computer lab. My next class is from 4:40pm through 6:20pm. I was going to go to the ASL club but my friend wants my help with something. So i decided to go next week. I applied for summmer 2016 graduation and everything is looking great so far. :)

I just chilling out on the couch reading Pep Digital Exclusive #6.

My mom came with me to first Physical Therapy. And we sitting in cafeteria waiting for it to begin.

It's been a long day. My mom went to the diner to pick up our lunch. That cheeseburger was a belly sinker & Grilled Swiss Cheese on Rye for mom. Then mom went to work. My aide & I skipped going out I was too poop from Physical Therapy. I finally got my Jughesd #5 from 6 Jughead issue subscription.

I am at work. Its a good day not too busy, was able to clean up my section, still got a bit to do after my break which is over in 3 minutes. I got my days off for my atlantic city trip

I went to visit an aunt of mine. I was with her all morning, then I went to the mall to buy something and I am now home.

Bought around 60$ worth of various band t-shirts on ebay. Despite being a fan for almost 20 years now, I just bought my first Cure shirt.

So far just ate breakfast. I did not do much. I watched some youtube. I go to work later.

I was planning on going to the art fair downtown but it is so windy and gusty right now I'm not sure I want to go out anymore.
I had breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, watched the Dog Whisperer.

I bought Orange Is The New Black Season #3 from Amazon. It coming out on May 17 th. I'm watching season #1 now to get ready. I also have season #2. I have to watch both quickly because my mom & brother have watch too. We are all fans.

I was pretty busy the past two days. I took Friday night off at work and went up to Kings Island for their passholder preview night (passholders who renewed by a certain date get to visit the park the night before it opens for the season). Since I don't work til 4 most days I also went back up there Saturday morning for about 5 hours, then stopped by to visit my grandpa before work because it was his 91st birthday, then I went to work from 4 til 12:15. I was so tired by the time I got home but it was well worth it.

About to get ready for work. Im dreading going. I hate sundays at work

I was busy changing my comic frames. I took down my 6 commissions. And gave them new plastics . I put them in my orgimi so now I have 12 Saga issues on my wall. I'll took a picture of it after my nap & post it on my Twitter page.

Im kinda sick. My lower back hurts and i have a cramp in my stomach. I called out of work last night because i was not feeling great. Luckily i have sick hours and was able to use them so i will still get paid. I hope i feel better soon, i woke 3 times last night :/

feeling a bit better today but not much, didn't sleep well. However, I had to truck out of my house to get to school to do an assignment that is due tomorrow.

Hopefully I keep on getting better, next Monday I go on vacation to Atlantic City

I read my library books & took a nap in the morning before my aide came. I keep checking through out the day to see if we can preorder the B & V #1's but nope I never saw anything on the website about preordering them ⚡ ☔ ⚡ ☔ ⚡. My aide & I went to th e library. I had 2 books to return. I got a few out.

Went to school(I'm in the 9th grade). I then came home and joined up here after finding it last night. Now I am going to do my homework.

In school currently. College homework sucks

Thanx invisifan, I did have a good day especially now that I am home. To bad it is raining out because I was going to go over to the park and do some swinging on the swings, but now I think I will just hang in my room and listen to some music.

I spent most of the day just hanging around the house today. I read the entire new Jughead series #1-5 and I also went over to the park and got on the swing for a little bit which was fun. Now it is really late and I am going to bed.

I ate breakfast really early. I had a piece of corn bread & a can of diet coke I watched  Suite Life On Deck. And I read some library books & digital comics . Now I'm going back to bed.

I woke up and read issues #1 & 2 of the new Archie series. Like yesterday with rereading the entire new Jughead series I am going to do the same with the Archie one today. I am going to eat some breakfast even though it is getting close to lunchtime and then it looks beautiful outside so I am probably going to take a walk with one of my friends.

Went for coffee with my wife and then she went to church (hope she put in a good word for me!).  Now hanging around watching college baseball on TV.

Finished reading the new Archie #3 and now am going to text my friend and see if she wants to take a walk with me. It is a very nice day outside today. Have to get some fresh air or at least get out of the house before my Mum has me clean my room or something. ;D

Cleaning/packing up stuff for my move at the end of May.

Looks more like Betty than Veronica

Right now I'm just in my room listening to music while my Mum is cooking Skirt Steak and a Baked Potato and Lima Beans for dinner. I will go into the dining room in a bit and set the table.

A day at home. I read both library & comic books. I changed my wall. I put my 6 commissions back on the wall for now. And I added my favorite Archie #2 &#3's on the wall. I took a nap.We had pizza for supper. And now I'm watching Orange Is The New Black Season #2-Disc # 3.

Back to school tomorrow so it is early to bed which I am getting ready for right about now. I will be in bed by 11 p.m..

I've never been there, but it sure sounds a lot better than the place that I'm going to tomorrow morning as that is school.

This morning Gabbie Gross sent me this picture of Reggie & Jughead. I asked her draw them like their arch enemies. She did a wonderful job. I made my profile picture there & on my Twitter page. She's great. I have told she should do the Reggie comic. She said she love to. She is a huge Reggie fan.

Mum just picked me up from school and now I am headed back home. I have some homework to do and then I am definitely going outside since it is beautiful outside.

Time to get busy on this homework.

After I finished my homework I decided to just hangout in my backyard with a friend of mine listening to some music on the deck soaking in some sunshine. Then I came inside and washed up for dinner and Mum made Lasagna with a side salad. Now I am just in my room listening to music until I take a shower later.

Today several of my friends get the day off from school for voting day but not me because I go to a private school. Bummer. So I am awake and am going to eat some breakfast and then Mum will drive me to school.

So right now i am waiting or my friends to get ready. One is still sleeping. I been up for like 1 hour.  All dressed ready for breakfast and they close at 12pm.

Not sure what to do later on, but tonight we are going to hit up Ballys and go to a club i think

I'm eating a crappy school lunch piece of pepperoni pizza while phoning on this forum. At least my school day will be over come 2 o'clock.

My mom bought me Crayola Hair Color Stix. It comes Wild Blue Yonder & Electric Lime & Razzmatazz which like a pink. Tonight after supper I try to put the Wild Blue Yonder on my hair.

Mum made Spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner and a side salad and some garlic bread. It tasted really good. Now I am stuffed. I have been exploring the Archie digital app which I think is pretty cool especially since I came across 3 FREE comics that I can read and they all seem to have to do with Kevin Keller. There is nothing wrong with free comics. So I have read 1 of them and have started the 2nd one. Later I will take a shower and then go to bed.

There is a month and a half, there were 200 free comics.
Not anymore!  :'(

Crap I missed that.

I going to take my shower now and listen to some music and read the final FREE digital comic which is Veronica #205. This is the one when Kevin Keller returns.

Today I woke up early for school and it looks like it is going to rain which meant all I really wanted to do was crawl back under my covers and go back to sleep but Mum made me get up. I made it through the first half of school and am now eating lunch which I did pack today. I am having chicken noodle soup with crackers and raw carrot sticks and an apple juice. School is over at 2 p.m. for me and Mum will pick me up and I will do my homework and then probably listen to music in my room because it is crappy outside.

Home from my trip and i am so sad, i want to go back. :(

Finished my homework for today and now I have a little time finally to read the new FREE Veronica comics on the digital app.

Well this morning I was on Amazon & saw that had Archie Volume #2 to preorder. I jump at it. I also preordered a B & V Friends Jumbo Comics #250 from Midtown. I got 2 comics in the mail. Archie #1-with the Chip Zdarsky cover & Jughead #2 from archie comics.com . My aide took my picture in front of my cherry blossom tree. They grow in April. And we went to the library. I got 2 books & 4 cds out. And we went to Popeye's for a soda & fries. And we looked in Walgreens. My hairdye wasn't on sale. I bought my mom & I each a rice ball for supper.

This evening I had Sesame Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll for dinner. I just finished up with a shower now I am just about ready to tuck myself under the covers for a nights sleep.

I started working on a new journal  :smitten:

Still at work. 7:30 am til 11 pm today.

Today i was supposed to hangout with my friend to play Monopoly but he never called. I was mad because we planned it for a month. Bummer. But im kind of mad at him so it was okay. I went to work. I got my new schedule for next week and i work 6 days. My day off is when i go to school. Unless they need me in the hours i got no school

Long day, my mom & I went to one of my appointments. I had to see a social worker. She was nice lady. And since I had an appointment I had to get myself a treat. I preordered Kim & Kim #1 from Midtown Comics. It's supposed have artist  I like doing the art. I hope it's good. I like the cover.

Look at all those new comics! :D

Some great issues from the 1970s there! I see an issue of DC's GHOSTS in that basket, but what's the other DC comic in back next to it? Can't quite make it out.

Other comic was Batman!!

Cool! That was really a fun DC comic back in the day. Maybe I just get too jaded from reading so many comics, but it doesn't seem like there are as many fun comics published today as there used to be overall, despite the huge number of titles out there. You can still find some ones you missed out on in the back issue bins, I guess!

Not much. I have been doing some work around the house, also been working on one of my  journals and a collage.

Today was a good day. My brother came over.  I got a Saga #36 & BatGirl #51 from tfaw.com & we went to the library. I got 2 books out & I returned 3 books. My brother & I ate at KFC. And bought my mom milk at The Garden Gourmet. We also went to staples. I bought a beautiful magazine holder which I'll put all the new Betty & Veronica issues that will doing in the future. And at the thrift store I bought 2 movies Wolf Of Wallstreet & Unforgiven.

Lazy day, I took my nap already. I'm going watch The Wolf Of Wall Street. It's a long movie so I may have watch the rest later.

Today i am going to work but i missed all the buses i usually take so i have to wait :/

Busy day, Archie #7 came in the mail.  We went to the Library. I returned 10 books. And they only had 2 books for me to pick up. I ate fries at Popeye's & had a drink. I'm bringing the refill home for mom. I had to go pick up a refill on one of my prescriptions. And I gave my aide 💰 to get my mom & me 2 slices each. One for tonight & one for tomorrow.

Im so excited for Free Comic Book day Saturday. They have Archie #1 for a free comic according to the Free Comic Book Day website. I am going to go when the store opens.

I ran some errands and then I went out with my dad. We went to the History museum and to the library.

Today I went to my morning class and then I went home to my fathers. Before that I had breakfast at Burger King. I almost missed my bus. I saw an old friend of mine. She was driving but noticed me at the bus stop. I used to work with her when I volunteered in a nursing home. She looks like shes doing great. Sadly we couldn't talk loner as she was at a red light that turned green.
I went to my fathers and took a 2 hour nap. I watched some television also. Once it hit 3:30pm, I was on my way back to school. However, because I missed my bus I was late to school by 10 minutes. It figures.

Now I am relaxing in my bed watching youtube videos and typing this. Tomorrow I plan on buying my mothers day gift, I am excited. I am buying perfume because my mom wants some, and I am going to get her a giftcard to some place she can buy food for lunch while at work. I might buy something else but I am not sure yet.

I have been doing this thing called Knowledge Survey & after you do 25 surveys you receive a $25 check. I just have to do one more. And I'll get the check. It's cool. I'll use the money towards the August Solicitations which I'm hoping has Betty & Veronica #2.

Another day at home, the weather was lousy. I had to rejoin Twitter. Now my name is B & V #1.I asked people who I followed to please join me with this new name. So if you follow me as BettyReggie just look for B & V #1.

I went to free comic book day. I got some awesome comics this year  :smitten: . I even brought some for my collection.

I went and brought 3 items from Fashionnova.com i just hope i do not need to return them. I am getting ready to go to my job to buy my mothers day gift then maybe get some lunch then go back to my shift at 5

What comic book store did you go to? Was it really crowded? I try to stay away from crowds .

I went to Jim Hanely's Universe on Staten Island (they have a store in Manhattan also).

It wasn't too bad, I arrived at 12:30pm. The store opened up at 12pm. It looked to be more crowded by the time I left.

long day. I worked from 9:30am to 5:30pm and I had a 45 minute break. I took a 15 minute break right before i left so i technically was done at 5:10pm ( we are allowed to clock out 5 minutes early if we clock in 5 minutes early).

I had Mcdonalds 24 hour breakfast for dinner. I took a nice bubble bath and at 8pm I am going to watch Dancing with the Stars.

Went to the doctor because these allergies are out of control. I got a shot but I still feel kinda awful. Hope the shot starts working soon!

I order 7 of those free comics from www.midtowncomics.com, even if they are not  good. At least they will look good in my comic frames. I love that Love & Rockets did a free comic.I love those books that the Hernandez brothers do. I called my aide to let her know to met me in the library. I had 2 books to return. Sadly nothing to pick up. We went to get pizza for lunch. I got a Sicilian slice which was $3.10 that's a lot.
We also went to this store called 5 & Below. I got a new stress coloring book. It's really nice. And then right next to it is eye glasse place. We went inside. I explained my problem. I'm handicapped & can't sit in their chair to get the exam. Is it possible for me to get a eye exam while sitting in my powerchair. They weren't sure, it seems like hard to do it. But the sad thing they don't take my insurance. I would have to pay. I felt disappointed because on the door it actually said we take many insurances.

School from 8am - 9:55am, home for a bit, then work from 5pm - 10:15pm

I read my library books & took my nap already. I wonder if we will see anything new besides Jughead #9 coming out. Why did they show that now & not wait to next week. We always get the solicitations the 3rd week of every month. I'm getting these from tfaw next
Archie #8  Veronica Fish & Faith Erin Hicks)
Archie Funhouse Jumbo Comics Digest #20
New Romancer #6 (of 6)

I'm still suffering from allergies but I have to go out today. I will be staying at my aunt's mother's house for a couple of days.
My aunt usually takes care of her mom, who has a heart condition, but she had to go on a trip to Dallas, so I'm gonna be staying with her mom taking care of her, making sure she takes her medicine on time. I'll be there tonight, all of Thursday and Friday morning I come home. So, I won't be here on the forum during those days (there's no wifi/ no computer/internet there).

Still at work from 9am and i get out at 3pm. I clocked in 8:55am so i can clock out 2:55pm

I had a very bad last 10 minutes at work due to a stupid customer :(

I took a nap already & changed my wall comic frames. I put up those Casey & April-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & one Jem & Super Boy #1. You can see it on my twitter page. Too I only have issues #1 & #4 of Casey & April-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Im sad. I found out my essay was due today and me being stressed out due to my friend who is not being nice at the moment and work and my ASL class it slipped my mind :/

It was a bad day and good day. Like a mix. I ended a friendship with a guy who wasn't treating me fairly and made me feel bad about myself. But, then a guy who liked me from years ago and I were recently starting to talk again and he admitted he liked me today and kissed me. Like I was in shock. But I don't know what to do and I don't know if I want to be with him. But he is respectful so I can give him that unlike the last guy I dated :/

I just came home after being two days away. I am tired. I'm gonna have lunch in a little while.

I stayed in my room for most of the day. I put new plastics on a lot of my Archie comics.I changed my wall & hanged up the Life With Archie #36 & #37's. I also put up the Archie when sitting in Harper's lap. And I saw B & V #2, they look great.

Nothing much, I just read my library books. I'm returning 4 of them. I plan to dye my hair RR04 Intense Dark Red. I'll post pictures on my twitter. I have been red in the past. I had blonde hair & I dyed my black too. But in High School I had cool pink hair, sad thing I never took of it. I WISH I did it looked awesome.

Getting ready to go to church!

I dyed my hair, boy was that messy.I posted 2 pictures of it on my Twitter page. And I took a nap. I colored in my new stress coloring book. And I'm watching Jessie.

It used be BettyReggie but I had to change it. So now it's B&V #1@Mrs Reggie Mantle, I had a hard time getting into my old email. So I to rejoin the site.

Today i have so much work to do. Two essays. But one is due tomorrow which has to be two pages. Another is three pages.  The last one is already typed just have to edit my draft. That is due thursday at 4:40pm

I returned 4 books to the library. There was nothing to pick up. My aide & I went to the thrift store. I wanted to see what's new there. There was nothing to buy. I bought the big salad for mom & I for supper at the Garden Gourmet . I ask the guy to put chick peas & corn & American cheese & chicken . They were out of bacon. I asked for a small cup of ranch dressing. And also got milk for mom. We also stop at KFC to get a medium soda. I had a soda there & bought the refill home for mom.

Today i started my essay. My friend wanted me to meet him and i did about a different  essay. I dont feel too good either but i sucked it up. I wasnt as busy as i thought because my other essay didnt get sent out yet. Thank goodness. I went to Mcdonalds for lunch. Now i am charging my phone waiting for my dad to pick me up. Cant wait for Dancing with the Stars later.

Yum. I'm eating a salad for dinner tonight too.

I have eaten hamburgers two days in a row  :o  Yesterday and today I bought some at Whataburger because I was too tired to prepare a good meal at home, but no more junk food for me starting tomorrow.
I bought a blouse for me and a shirt for my dad.

I finished homework and I did a homework assignment that is due tomorrow 30 minutes ago and I just sent it in. I feel good I have less homework now and I might not have to call out of work tomorrow

Got my American Sugn Language presentation today. Yikes! I hope i remember my lines. I only got 3 hours of sleep

I was pretty busy today. I went to CVS to get a packing box to return something that did not fit me well. Then I went to the post office. I then went to my school. I found out I was graduating this semester but I still need the summer classes. But I can walk the line this semester. I get my associates degree this June and my Bachelors in August. I also went to the bank to put in some money. My friend gave me the money he owed me. I thanked him because I am using it for school. I also found out next week I can pick up my cap and gown.

I am currently trying to do my essay for class and I'm getting a headache out of it. It is supposed to be 4-5 pages and I haven't even gotten on the 4th page. I am about to but I am having a hard time trying to put in information because it is a difficult assignment. This really sucks. I'm sad.

I worked till 1 p.m. today and now I am home just waiting for my daughter to get home from school. I have a load of laundry in the washer.

Right now its almost 8am. I barely slept i guess im feeling guilty because i promised a friend I was going to help with his 20 page paper and im feeling jitters because we got 1 more week. However what he doesnt know is that I am going to go to my college tomorrow to work on it. We need to get a lot of it done.

I also have to go to the college today to an event but i think my friend might ignore me. He is going too but he told me that 5 other people he knows are going too from his class and he cant ignore them either. I just wish i opted out of the event. :(

Right now I am sitting at my desk at work enjoying a cup of coffee and wishing it was 3 p.m. already so I could start my weekend. Don't have much planned for this weekend except for hanging around the apartment cleaning things and maybe go into Gatlinburg to walk around with my daughter one of the days this weekend.

I went grocery shopping and did laundry.

1 more hour of work and then it is weekend time.

My mom & I went to my primary care doctor appointment. Everything's good. We got bagels for lunch but y hey didn't have enough cream cheese. The midtown comics for August & September were on the site. I preordered them. My Archie #8 came which is my 10th issue of 24 Archie issue subscription. I also got my free comics from midtown comics.

My daughters in bed asleep. I am about to finish the dishes and head off to bed myself.

I have been really busy with work and school recently. I have to finish a 20 page paper by friday and I got 7 pages done. I also have to finish another paper that is 2 pages and study for a final. Everything is going to be done by thursday night and Friday will be my first day to relax thank goodness

Lazy day, I got up early. Gabbie Gross is going do another little picture for me. I'll use as my profile picture there. I can't wait to get it. My brother is coming over. He has Betty now, one of our cats. Slash was lonely after his sister died last November. So he has Betty as his sister. It's funny Betty & Slash actually have the same birthday but they born different years. They were both born both on June 24th.

Not much. Went to church, had lunch, watched some TV, took a nap.

Just did my regular work

I have been coloring in one of stress coloring books. My brother bought these cool double color pencils. One color is one the top & then another on the bottom. I love those stress free coloring, I want to know who came up with the idea?
I plan to go get a haircut. I need a trim. The lady can pull the chair out of the way so I can sit in my power chair while they do it. I did buy another Superior Preference® RR04 Intense Dark Red hair dye. It was on sale at Walgreen's.

Today i am going to the college to finish homework. My friend said he is meeting me at 11am. I hope so

Long Day, I read & colored through out the day.  I took 2 naps so I would be able to stay up for the last Ink Master. It was good but I wished Christen won. Hr had the best arm sleeve tattoo but he didn't win.

Schools done bye bye spring semester.

I changed my wall this morning. I watched Secret Window & I did Sweating To The Oldies #2 before.

I have been trying to arrange my family's photo albums but it is too overwhelming. I'll try again tomorrow.

Wow, This is awesome little icon picture that Gabbie Gross did for me of Betty & Reggie. It's done in the style of the page of Archie #1 where he talks to Betty but I wanted see them kiss I love it.

We have been using the air conditioner for a week and a half now. It's getting pretty hot even though we are still just in the low 90s. I can't imagine and don't want to imagine what it's gonna be like once summer starts and we reach the 100 + degrees.  :buck2: :buck2:


I don't like summer.

I'm still in bed with the ac on. I'm going have get up soon it's almost lunch time.

Lazy day, I took a nap time this morning & had a good lunch. I preorder I preorder these from midtown.com And Roseanne season 4 most of the day.
[media]349[/media][media]684[/media]

I got up really early this morning & read some library books & Jughead comics. I pretty much just watched tv. My brother is coming over later to hang out.

Tomorrow is college graduation. Im just relaxing at the moment. Already started my homework which is to read a book and write a 1 page paper. Which i did

You re graduating College. That's awesome. You should take some pictures & post them there for us to see.

I will, i will post some tomorrow and thank you :)

Im waking up early my sisters are doing my hair and makeup :) (plus i have to be there by 8am myself

I had a great morning. I had a few errand to run this morning before my aide comes. I got a Everything Bagel at Dunkin Donut to go. I went to the library & they these for me to pick up Orange : the complete collection. 1 & The diary of a teenage girl : an account in words and pictures & Danger Girl. Renegade & Paper girls volume #1. Also a Midtown Comics package by my door. It was Afterlife With Archie #9 . And the best thing came my new TV came .

My brother came over to hang out. He set our new tv. It's a beautiful tv. It's so modern. I can't wait to watch Riverdale.

🎉 🎉 🎉 I won Nameless City by Faith Erin Hicks on Ebay🎉 🎉 🎉. I have her other books Friends With Boys & Nothing Could Possibly Go Wrong.

I had one class today, waiting for another to start. I dont get out until 10pm but I wish i got out earlier, maybe the professor will let me out early

Long day, I did take a nap though. We went to the library. I returned 5 books. And they had one for me to pick up. And I had to pick up a prescription. And we went to Lot Less, it was crowded. I got 2 spray deorants. I got a kids meal at Popeye's. My aide got herself a slice. And we went home. We get to the elevator & it's not working. 😣😣😣😣. The guy behind the desk they working it for 45 minutes. So then my aide & I had to go back to the library to waste time. I did get another book out.

Lucky day, i got out at 8pm

Getting ready to read Les Blancs for my class

My mom & I had go to Arimed in Brooklyn. I needed to get new straps for my braces.  I had to pay out of pocket because they don't take my insurance. We were able to leave the place while they were working on them. I didn't have my shoes or braces on my feet.  We went to Claire's. My mom & I got some earrings. And went to Durane Read. I got $10 Google Play card. It started to ran so we had to rush back.  The Access A Ride actually came way before it should has. My guy Miguel was still working on my braces. The Ride was supposed to come at 12:45 pm but it came at 12:07 pm, so we rushing to get on it .

I preorder from archiecomics.com. I preorder 3 of the blank ones. I just asked Gabbie Gross if she draw this picture of Reggie & Betty on it.
[media]682[/media]
[media]374[/media][media]350[/media][media]348[/media]

I went out by myself today. I went to the post office. I got a few those nice envelopes so I mail those blank Covers to artists. But that may have wait I want save some money first. I'll just do one at time. I also got stamps. And went to the library.

Gabbie Gross is going do that cover for me when Reggie Kissing Betty on a Blank B & V #1. That little icon has be on a cover. It's perfect. She should do the Reggie comic, she loves him.

My mom got me a membership to the gym so I can start going. I'm so excited i can finally go to a gym near me :smitten:

Another day at home, my power chair had to charged. I took a nap in the morning & read a lot. Gabbie Gross agreed to a Blank B & V#1 cover for me. I wish July 20th would get there sooner. But I preordered those blanks from Archie Comics. I just pray that they don't get crushed in the mailbox.

I got a $1 pay raise at my job  :smitten:

But then the day got worse, the bathrooms were out of order and around 8pm it started to flood and water was getting into the office, the main managers office, the breakroom, layaway and on the sales floor :tickedoff: All the workers had to share rain boots!

At least I was able to find the Blueberry Pie Oreos today at Target and I used my new gym membership today  :smitten:

I'm going putting aside money for 2 commissions that I plan to get. I talked to Gabbie Gross & Gisele. So it may take some time but it will be worth it. I put aside $20 bucks to start. I just not interested in buy digests anymore. I have those 1000 pages books, that I have even started yet. I want to only buy one of comic of each character. For example the only cover I like of Josie & Pussycats #1 is that Veronica Fish. So that it's the only one I'll get. But with the new Betty & Veronica & Jughead & Archie reboot, it be choosing between 2 covers I like. Plus I stop reading Jem & The Holograms & Lumberjanes & Harley Quinn. Their art & the story is not as good as it used be. Another way to save money is renting graphic novels from the library. I have read Deadly Class & all the Morning Glories books, & Invincible books which I put on my library list . I rented various Super Hero books which I never would have bought.

I had a great mail day. I got my $25 check from Knowledge Survey. And Archie comics sent me Jughead #7 even though 6 issue to Jughead over. Shhhh.
I counted all my change . And it was $16.00, I'm going bring that along with the $25 check to the bank tomorrow so I could add that $41.00 to my commission fund so I get those Betty & Veronica #1 done.

My friends sister had a baby yesterday and according to my friend apparently she might ask me to be the godmother...

I'm like in total shock if this is true.. then my friend might be the godfather... im in shock...

I skipped going out because of the weather. It was raining in The Bronx. I can't bring out the power chair in that type of weather. I took a nap instead. I changed my wall of comics. I saw the pages from Life With Kevin #1. Hubba Hubba

Sure, why not? Pink watercolor marker pens exist. That's one of my all-time favorite covers by Fernando. I don't know where he came up with that silly idea, but it just tickles me for some reason. She looks like a dandelion!

He said Jessica Simpson inspired him to do that. That's what he told me on twitter.

Now I'm at McDonald's waiting for them to change their menu to the lunch menu at 11:00, I went to y he bank to cash my $25. Survey Check & the $16 in change so I put towards to Betty & Veronica Commissions. After Lunch I'll go to the library.

Busy day , Rainbow Medical Supply came to give my power chair a new battery & charger for the chair. The men who installed the battery took a long time. I give them $5 to split. I charged the chair before my aide came. So we went out. We made a pit stop at the library to get a time for the computer. I wanted to print something. We had to back there by 3. I had Popeye's for lunch. And then we went to the library I print out those expensive covers that are coming out for Betty & Veronica #1. So I put them in my comic frames. And they are Black & White though.

I feel like I have not poste in forever. But I finally get a break from school, I actually did my homework ahead of the time. I thought the book reading and 1 page essay was due today but that was my bad. Works out though because I can get a head start on my next assignment. I can't wait for school to be over, I have so much Archie to catch up on :smitten:

Busy day, my aide met me at the library. I returned 2 books but took 4 books. I had Popeye's for lunch. We had to get more of envelopes from the Post Office. I got few in case I make a mistake on when mailing out those commissions. And we went to food town. I got a tfaw package full of goodies   

I handed in my 4th Quarter and Final Grades for all of my classes and now I can say I am finished this school year and on Summer Vacation.

Yesterday tfaw put out the solicits so I Preorder these

I woke up to wish my girlfriend a good day at work then plopped back into bed where I lay with my laptop at this moment.

Today my girlfriend and I are going to have a cookout for 2. We are going to cook hamburgers, corn on the cob, and chicken thighs on the grill.

Love & Rockets are now coming with a comic. I LOVE those books. It's coming out the same day as Josie & Pussycats #1.

Went to the library, then I bought some groceries, came back home and just finished watching The Revenant.

Spent the entire day with my girlfriend just lounging around the house and then doing some cooking together.

Oh, you  ;)

It's Sunday and that means relaxation. So me and my girlfriend spent the morning lounging in the bed late and we still haven't got out of bed yet and it is now approaching Noon. Oh what the hell it is my Summer vacation from teaching and she had a hard week of work.

I just got up. I HOPE to get the World Of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest #60 & Archie #9-Fish & Andrew Robinson on Monday. I'm still waiting for it.

Comics to read are always a plus.

I read & went on the computer . I asked Thomas Pitilli could he draw Betty on a Betty & Veronica #1 for me. He draws a beautiful Betty. I'll have save up for it because I asked 3 other artists to do a cover So even if I don't get until next year that's ok.

I spent my day mostly in the house just lounging around listening to music and spending quality time with my girlfriend. I also went outside for a bit to water the garden and now we are in the process of making Sloppy Joe sandwiches for dinner.

Busy day at work. I wanted to cry. We got out 45 minutes late. So messy, 5 people called out. I have to read my book soon for class. I am reading One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia. I love it. Tomorrow morning I write my summary so I can explain it to the class during my presentation

Woke up early to wish my girlfriend a good day at work and then went back to sleep for a bit. Now I am going to get into the shower and later do some grocery shopping.

I did some homework for school. I also went to Michael's arts n crafts and TJMaxx to return shirts I brought. Sadly, I forgot the correct debit card I used so I had to get store credit but that is okay because I want to buy some dog shampoo from Marshalls this weekend (where I work)

I'm gonna get these 2 commissions from Gabbie Gross. I can't wait. She will draw them on blank Betty & Veronica #1 covers. One comic for Jughead & the other for Betty & Reggie.
[media]791[/media][media]682[/media]

Nothing worth mentioning.

I returned 4 books & I got a book for my mom. I got $2 from winning a scratch off. I put that $2 in commission fund. But I bought 5 other scratch offs, I didn't win anything. I bought home 2 rice balls for supper. One for me & one for mom. She said she will have hers tomorrow. I took my vitamin D pill but I went to the pharmacy to get a refill but they said you can get them Saturday.

I got my grade back from school, i got a B in my class, now one more to go :smitten:

I just pre-order Betty & Veronica #1 from the Google Play Store. I can't wait to read it. I'm so excited.

I'm currently at the Post Falls Library right now as I type this.  My Wi-Fi is crap, and I had to stop by the thrift shop for some hot wheels.  Picked up a bag of Lay's Family Size for $1.69!  Also, Fred Meyer's had Kettle chips on sale for $1.77 each, so I got two of the avocado ones (himilayian pink salt, and Mesquite BBQ)

iPad

So i might be moving into an apartment with my friends

I added $20 to B & V Commission fund but set aside the $65 for 2 commissions Gabbie Gross is going do for me. I can't wait to get them. I'll have post it on my Twitter page. I'll saw you there too when I get them.

I pretty much spent all my day at the mall, mostly just browsing and eating. But I did buy a few things.

I was in a groove all day making bags for the thrift store. I did a nap till 6:30 pm. So I guess I be able to stay up later.

So today i work from 3pm to 8:30pm but i get paid time and a half. I am happy for more money but I also am upset because i am going to miss out on the hotdog eating contest on television

I donate a bag of comics to the thift store. Sadly the bag rip open & the lady had to pick them up for me. I added in the free comics that came out this year because they were so terrible. Expect the free Archie #1.

Today i went to Lowes and the new Shoprite Supermarket. Not that interesting. I should be in school but class got canceled.

I spent the day at my brother's. And visited Betty, she loves it there. We ate lunch at Shnipper's for lunch. They have great fries. And we went to Bath & Bodyworks. I got a free little perfume. We also went to the library. I got 7 graphic novels out. My brother went out to get us Pizza for supper. My access a ride comes at 6:30 pm.

Today is laundry day.

I did all my chores in the morning before my aide came. My mail lady Shay was there early & she gave me a Archie package from Archie comics which had my blank Jughead #1. I plan to mail it to Gabbie Gross so she could draw Jughead on it for me.
I returned 4 books & they had 8 books to pick up. The Library had their air conditioner on it. It was beautiful. I told the guy I may come back later. I got a silician slice for lunch. And I went to the the pharmacy. I had to getmy vitimin D pills, so I also went to food town to get a jar of Apple Sauce. I can't swallow pills without it.

my place doesn't due time and a half :(

I took a nap & got up at 1:30 pm. I plan to read all new Archie comics from the reboot. I want to give them all new plastics. That's probably going take a few days.

I had a busy day. My mom & I went to eye vision, I was able to sit my powerchair & have a eye exam. Which I need. My last one was 6 years ago. And we went to Lot Less. They had such a great find. Those Betty & Veronica notecards for only $1.99, we bought 6 of them . And we also went to Food Town.
Later on Twitter I saw the San Diego cover for Betty & Veronica #1. It's gorgeous. I definitely want it. I really hope they sell it on Archie Comics.com & my aide & I went back to Lot Less . And I bought 6 more of Betty & Veronica note cards. I took a picture of them . I posted it on my Twitter page also with a new picture of my wall. The frames are empty so I'll be ready for Betty & Veronica #1.

Ah those note cards are awesome BettyReggie! I'm going to head to my local Lot Less on Wednesday (there is one Lot Less in Staten Island, I am grateful its so close to me)

Years ago i found these in Lot Less (yes can you believe it!)(https://www.archiefans.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2F00%2Fs%2FMzMxWDM2MQ%3D%3D%2Fz%2FId4AAOSw3ydV1r55%2F%24_35.JPG&hash=1e034bc4c933a9cb9d142349c0e19da2d91ffb83)

I told my mom as I had no money to get them when I got home, but she went back out, got them, saved them in a closet and gave them to me for christmas, I had no idea!

Today was a good day. I spent a portion of my morning relaxing in bed. A friend gave me a call on the phone, we talked for about 40 minutes.  I then got dressed, ready to head to the mall to buy some lunch. I spent more than I should of I thought the meal at Charley's Philly Steaks was $6.50 but turned out to be $11. I guess that was the price for the sandwhich. I then went to work. Today was my day off but I got asked for extra hours. Not upset as I could use the extra money. Now I am relaxing and waiting for my phone call from my friend (he gets out of work around 1am) we will talk for 30 minutes, then off to bed and tomorrow is a day for school and errands. Maybe I might check Lot Less tomorrow if I have time, I do not need to be in school until 6:30pm

Did you take them out the box or are you keeping them in there?

I am thinking of making a big purchase of buying myself the Nintendo 3DS XL bundle from Kohls.com its $300 but it comes with 3 games included or it would of been $200 ( its $300 with tax). But I am going to talk to my mom about it, I got extra work hours this week and my job gave me more work hours next week.

The artist Thomas Pitilli is going be working on the new Archie book. I'm so happy for him. He draw me his first Reggie. I gave him the idea of having Reggie looking in the mirror. But his reflection is one of sadness. Because one the outside Reggie pretends to feel everything alright.

Went to the gym, now home. Almost brought nail polish but decided not too. About to make some lunch, and then relax a bit then gonna do homework

I went to THE IWD It was Belly Dancing class. And my mom was able to swim at the pool. I hanged at Sean's with Betty & Slash.

I just pre-order Jughead #8 from The Google Play Store & I preordered Archie #10 from the Google Play too.

If they had an Archie Comic video game I'd buy it in a heart beat :smitten:

I had to go to Brooklyn to get my braces fix. I met my brother there. We went into the thrift store before we went to Arimed. It was a long day. No time for lunch. And after that I went to mail the blank Jughead #1 & Betty & Veronica #1 comics to Gabbie Gross. So she could draw on them.

I like Veronica Fish's cover for The Ramones but her Archie #13 is nicer. Plus I only need 2 Archie Meets The Ramones. The Archie Meets The Ramones is $3.24, so I just decided to get 2 of them.

I'm bummed.  I'm losing hours at work because they hired too many new people. *sigh*  :'(

I kind of like the one that mimics the first album.  They could have done a cover with the Archies band in women's stretch pants(jeans) and leather jackets, too.  That might have been cool.

(https://www.archiefans.com/index.php?media/file/b-v-3b.843/)

I like that they took the time to color Betty's t-shirt as "blue heather" (or is it "heather blue"?) -- I'm not sure if you can see the detail in this image, but in a larger image of the same cover, you can see the two different grains of interwoven threads (one a little lighter, and one a little darker) that make up her t-shirt. I also like what they (Betty) did with the little vignette image to the left of Betty's name in the title. Did anyone else notice it? (-- and yes, Veronica gets to add her own graphitti commentary on her solo cover).

I don't think anyone's looking at the color of her shirt. Looks like they listened to your comments about the girls being drawn too flat chested by Fiona Staples.

I don't recall posting anything about how Fiona Staples drew B&V's chests, although I may have made a general comment that I don't find the way she drew B&V as particularly attractive or sexy. I just don't feel any connection with her style of artwork, which looks to me like some sort of fashion illustration (while ironically not being particularly fashionable or anything). It's slick but leaves me cold.

On the other hand, Adam Hughes' version of B&V looks positively subdued (for Adam Hughes) compared to the type of women he usually draws like Wonder Woman or Catwoman. Let's face it, they didn't hire the guy based on his reputation for writing incisive and witty teen comedies, they hired him because of his reputation for drawing sexy female characters.

Maybe you should leave an email or voicemail for Jonathan over at the Riverdale Podcast. This week while reviewing B&V #1 he was having some issues with the idea of B&V (being teenagers) being drawn in a way that he thinks seems too sexualized. He'd probably love to hear your perspective on this.

The cartoony style of artwork formerly associated with Archie Comics tends to disarm the overt sexyness of the drawings by making the characters look cute/innocent and appealing, and thus inoffensive (although in the past, Dan DeCarlo was known to push that envelope). When you remove the cartoony quality and switch to a more illustrative type of artwork, this is what you're left with -- it is what it is, and based on my familiarity with Adam Hughes' past work, I can assure you he is making a conscious effort to tone that aspect of his work down in B&V -- yet ironically, this is WHY he got hired for the job in the first place.

PS - They announced at SDCC 2016 that ReedPOP will be selling those #TEAMBETTY and #TEAM VERONICA t-shirts, along with a plain gray heather T sporting the new B&V logo.

I saw Ghostbusters today and loved it. It was warm, funny, just fun. My two little boys loved it too and thought Holtzmann (Kare McKinnon) was AWESOME.

I am at work. Apparently there is nothing else to do as I am done. So i went in the break room. But I am going back out soon because i dont want to get in trouble. I haven't seen the manager all night.  I am so bored though. *sigh*

It was a lazy day because of the heat. I slept late. We went out late. I returned 8 books in the library box out. I had out too many books to read. I had a coupon for KFC, free meal with purchase of soda. It was belly sinker of a meal. Then we went to the Garden Gourmet. They had chocolate Italian ices, we bought them. I love them.   

I just found out I got a job as an election poll worker and I got my training class August 15th. I also got comic con tickets for the first day for New York Comic Con

That's awesome, I wish I could go. You have show us pictures afterwards. It's easier to put pictures on your Twitter page. Are you bringing Blank Betty & Veronica #1's get drawn on ?

You have to do it . It will make you enjoy it, But bring extra money. You won't be sure how bring so I would message Adam Hughes or his wife about getting a commission at NYCC. They both are my friends on Twitter. If I you should buy a comic frame from Amazon so you can keep the comic nice. I keep them in plastic & than put them in the frame so they stay nice.

I've done the poll worker thing before.  It's pretty fun if not tiring.  It was cool when i worked in my own neighborhood so as to meet people. The fifteen hours pay at minimum wage was just a bonus.   ;)

My midtown comics package just came . It's like Christmas in July.

I was in my room for a very long time changing my wall. I put up all the Betty & Veronica #1 that I preorder. It looks awesome. I posted pictures on my twitter account.

Women have "beauty parlors", men only have places like "easy-cheap-simple cuts".  No "Handsome parlor" or somesuch.  Come to think of it, the last few "parlors" I've visited have been raided by the Fuzz. Men are always getting short shrift.   #mensgroomingrights.

Well, but you guys have Barber Shops, so... :coolsmiley:

Going from NY to Ohio tomorrow. Long drive

I just pre-order Archie #11 from The Google Play Store. I can't wait to see Thomas Pitilli's art in this issue. And he will be doing Archie #12 too.
My aide & I going to Menchies. It's some where new to go to. And there's a Rite Aid & CVS near it. I'll bring the camera. I need some more pictures of me outside.

Yep, Barber Shops.  Me and the crew hang out sipping coffee, discussing haberdashery and the latest Nike colorways, telling tales about the honeys, puffing blunts and playing dominoes.  It's just like you see in the movies.  Every month or so some dude even gets a haircut.

The Real World NY is on MTV classic now. I remember it watching when I was younger. Andre was my favorite guy on it. The show is going be on all day. It was on in 1991. I was 11 years old .

Please post a pic of yourself in a Winger t-Shirt or we won't believe you lived through the 90's.   :)

I was never into Winger but I do have a picture of myself in a Extreme shirt. I'll post it on my instagram page.  I was born on February 18 1980.

Been feeling tired. 12 hours in a car is not fun. I also do not feel good because now my LEFT bottom side wisdom tooth is popping up so i been getting headaches. I had my right one removed earlier this year. :'(

Tomorrow is going be a fun day. My mom & I are going to the Mall in Co Op City.  I can't wait. I haven't been to a mall since I lived in Massapequa Park in 1994. I lived in Massapequa Park from 1992- 1994. We had the Sun Rise Mall. They had everything. A Movie Theater & a great food court. They had Claire's & Spencer's & a bookstore & dollar store & much more.

BettyReggie is that The Mall At Bay Plaza? I plan on going their probably sometime this month or in September. From what I saw online it seems like a great mall and I'm surprised I haven't heard about it until the end of july


------------------------------
Not doing much today, but I might go to the mall to go shopping. Or i might head over to the gym

You're love it, They had Bath & Bodyworks, we bought 5 pump soaps. And we walked all around the mall. We did go into Hot Topic & Spencer's but I'm too old buy anything there. My mom bought a nice pocket book. We had lunch at Food court. We took pictures there.

Glad you had fun BettyReggie, i'm looking forward to going :) :) :)

Another day of work. I was asked to come in today . They been cutting my hours so I am happy that I was asked to go in. 4 days of pay is better than 3 days. I also have to stock up on my Archie comics :smitten:

Fernando is mailing this, I love it.
[media]1156[/media]

i spent the day basically doing nothing. I watched some tv, and was basically watching Pokemon episodes on youtube. It was nice to relax after 5 days of working. I am tired though, I went to bed at 3:30am and woke up 11am. Now its time for me to go to bed early because I am headed to brooklyn with a friend tomorrow, a friend who wants me to tag along with him because he wants to meet a wrestler who is going to be at Toys R Us on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn

My aide & I went to the library. I returned 2 books, took 2 books out . We had lunch at Popeye's.And I needed to go Walgreens. I needed dish soap. It was on sale. I got a lucky 7 & lost. We also went to Lot Less. It was too crowded. They still have 3 boxes of Archie notecards. I didn't get them. I got mom a slice & me a silician slice for supper.

Today I will be in Queens. My friend is going to  a Toys R Us to meet a wrestler at a meet and greet

My Reggie & Betty came today from Fernando. It's awesome. I put it on my wall & posted pictures on twitter.

Today I go back to work luckily I am calling out tomorrow because my high school friends who i see less,often now made plans to go bowling and invited me :smitten:

Gabbie Gross did these for me, they are awesome. I can't wait to put them in my comic frames.

I colored in of my stress free coloring books before. I haven't done that in while. I used crayons.  Maybe I'll do it again tomorrow. I wish they made a Archie one. They would sell a lot. If I worked at Archie Comics I would suggest it.

The "coloring book variant" is the latest variant comic book cover trend. DC has already done a number of them, and Dynamite is starting to do them too. Here are a couple of Dynamite's coloring book variant covers from last month's solicitations: KISS #1 by Fernando Ruiz, and BETTY BOOP #1 by J. Bone. Of course, if you wanted to color these without altering the actual comic book, you could just print out the covers from the images, and color the copies you print. There are enough images of black and white comic book covers out there on the internet that you could print out a whole stack of drawings that you like, staple them together, and make your own coloring book.

I was just fooling around with some pencil drawings I found online. The figures of Betty and Reggie came from separate cover variants that Dan Parent drew for ARCHIE #666. I saved both of those variant cover pencil sketches, opened them both up in Paint and cropped and erased the elements (background figures) in both images that I didn't want. Then I pasted the Betty figure and the Reggie figure into the same image. I noticed in both drawings that their hands were on their hips with their elbows sticking out, and I realized that if you overlapped the images, it looked like Betty and Reggie were arm-in-arm, so I did that, and erased the overlapping lines. This just turned out to be really fortuitous, because with the two separate figures lined up correctly according to height, the way that Dan drew them in the original pencil sketches, their eyes look as if they're looking right at each other! The original idea was to tone down the blacks here so that I'd have some light gray lines and I intended to print this out and ink it myself, and white-out the stray lines I hadn't already erased after inking it. That will take a while though, so I'll just show you what I've got so far. You can see a lot of broken lines where I had to erase stuff, but it's pretty clear for me to see where the ink lines need to go, so no big deal. Below that you can see the final covers those figures of Betty and Reggie came from, as they were printed in the final cover versions inked by Rich Koslowski.

I would love to color that picture. I could probably print it from the library. I don't have a printer. I always thought Reggie looked good in yellow. His shirt would be yellow. He would have black pants.

But yeah, a yellow shirt would be nice.

Lazy day I read in my room & changed the comics in my frames. I have 2 books to pick up from the library. I have those receipts from KFC where you buy the soda & the meal is free. I have to do the survey first & write the code on the receipt.

Well, when you buy stuff at a fast food place, when they print the reciept, you look on the back of it and sometimes they have this URL where you go and fill out a survey online, then they give you a coupon code. I've seen these on a number of different reciepts, although the exact offer usually varies somewhat.

🌷💐🌸🌹 My 2 commissions came from Gabbie Gross, I'm going put in comic frames. I'll take pictures.

If the Rain doesn't hurt our plans my aide & I are going to Menchies. It up in RiverDale. So we take Access A Ride. I'll feel bad if I have to cancel it.

Listened to about half of the new Riverdale Podcast early this morning, then I watched the first four episodes of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE.

My brother is coming over. We going hang out. I have another receipt from KFC so we get the free meal but pay for the drink. I'll put those new comics on my wall later.
I returned 2 cds to the library. My brother got 2 books out . And we had lunch at KFC. I got mom her milk at Garden Gourmet. And we went to the thrift store. They have a good find 5 of The Scott Pilgrim graphic novel. books. They didn't have book #4 though. I bought them.

I have been busy working working all week. My only day off from work was Tuesday. But today is a brand new work week and I have tomorrow and Tuesday off. But if I get extra hours I will take them because I kind of need the money and my goal is to move by june or july 2017

Yesterday I bought Scott Pilgrim #4 book from ebay. Now I'll have all of them.

Sunday: Listened to the rest of the Riverdale Podcast, watched 4 more episodes of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE, read some manga.

I just got back from doing my morning chores. I put 2 books in the library box outside of the library.  The place wasn't even open yet. I went grocery shopping & I had pick up a prescription of Tizindine. And I got pizza for lunch.
And I actually went to the library to see if they had anything for me. I got 3 books out & then went home. And now I'm watching Seinfeld.

Worth watching? I was put off by Veronica's southern accent in the other cartoons.

Hot Lazy Day, but my Aide & I went to the library. I returned  2 books. And we bought home pizza
On Thursday I'm watching Orange Is New Black Season #3. I hope season #4 comes out by Christmas.

I have been so busy with work, and then I keep waking up after 10am. I hate it. I mean once in a blue moon is okay but I miss waking up early.

I have been busy with work like i said, but I also am trying to look for a second job. I can't deal with one job no more. i had 33 hours 2 weeks ago, last week I had 21, this week I have 25 hours but get time and a half due to labor day, and next week I got 15 HOURS!!!!! i do not understand so I am looking for more employment

At least I am working the primary election. But that is also a school day and kids will be in school when I'm sitting near a door from 5am-9pm

If you want the shortest answer, in a word: "No". If you're satisfied with a simple yes or no answer, then you probably need to read no further.

The more detailed explanation of why it's not worth watching might require a little more justification by way of "Why?" or "Compared to what?", but since you've provided me with an excuse, I'll take this opportunity to expound. I delayed replying to this for a while, because I needed to think about it, and I also wanted to re-watch some episodes from the original JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS and compare them to see whether I was judging J&TPC IN OUTER SPACE overly harshly, even by 1972 standards of animation. Yesterday I watched 6 of the original 16 JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS episodes for comparison purposes, and they still hold up well by 1970 animation standards (in fact, I still consider the original JOSIE series superior to HB's 1969 SCOOBY-DOO WHERE ARE YOU!, the show that it's often compared to as a weak imitation of). I would go further to state that in my estimation, JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS is the best of all the various television series to have been adapted from any Archie Comics properties -- this despite the undeniable fact that it bears little resemblance to, and is inferior to, the 40 or so issues of the Josie comic book that preceded it and served as its nominal inspiration.

To digress:
In case you're wondering, of the various Filmation animated efforts, I consider SABRINA AND THE GROOVIE GOOLIES to be the best, for reasons that have a lot to do with the Groovie Goolies, who never appeared in an Archie Comic. Of the shows strictly based on Archie and the gang (apart from any consideration of the music of The Archies, which I love), I'd consider ARCHIE'S T.V. FUNNIES to be the best, again for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the Archie characters, and everything to do with the animated newspaper comic strip characters. The problem with most of the Filmation Archie cartoons isn't bad animation, but the scripts and characterization (and to a lesser extent the voice actors, inferior to those used by HB), most of which are devoid of the exact elements that I enjoy most from the ACP comic books, so unless they add something to counterbalance that -- the music of The Archies, showing animated cartoons based on famous syndicated newspaper comics, or The Groovie Goolies -- I find little left to maintain my interest. An exception to the voice cast was Jane Webb, who did multiple voices for Filmation. I loved her voice characterization for Sabrina, but found it sadly lacking for both Betty and Veronica. Jane Webb provided nearly all of the female voices for the Filmation cartoons at the time these cartoons were made. As a side note, the southern accent given to Veronica was a carryover from her vocal characterization on the old time radio series.

Now back to JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE:
Compared to today's standards of quality for judging animated fare made for children's television, JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE is just a bad cartoon, plain and simple. Some people might jump to the conclusion that it's a bad cartoon simply because the premise of launching a teenage pop group into outer space is ridiculously stupid, but that really has nothing to do with it at all. Cartoons of this era were often sold to the networks based not on making any pilot film for the series, but by a simple presentation in which the title alone and simple concept premise was sold on the basis of showing a few character model sheets, background paintings, etc. This is really no different than how low-budget independent films of the 1950s-1960s were sold to distributors -- all that was needed was to dream up a catchy title/intriguing premise, and then make a mock-up of the movie poster, in order to gain the financial backing necessary from the distributor. American-International Films successfully used that formula to generate hundreds of films to fill drive-in theaters and attract teenage audiences. So simply giving the title to a talented artist and letting the artist's imagination take flight with the concept might result in something cool-looking like this:

(https://www.archiefans.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fd1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net%2Fn_iv%2F600%2F875029.jpg&hash=c15476d22a8a3ab6b884dd20adc92d0a0004891a)

Unfortunately, the actual JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE cartoon is nowhere near as interesting as Holly G's cover for Archie & Friends #60. Compared to the original Hanna-Barbera JOSIE cartoon produced for the 1970-1971 television season, IN OUTER SPACE is inferior in almost every way. The animation is worse, the scripts are far worse, even the voiceover acting is worse (the same voice actors were used as in the original JOSIE, but there wasn't a lot they could do to improve the terrible scripts, and it doesn't even sound like they were making much of an effort). Virtually everything here is worse: Alexander is even more cowardly, Alexandra is even ruder, more obnoxious, and permanently PMS'ed, Josie and (especially) Sebastian have less to do in every story, than they did in the original series. The songs are much worse, practically perfunctory, and it's obviously not the same group from the original show. An excuse needs to be made in every episode to stop the action for the girls to perform a musical number to distract the villains or otherwise disrupt the machinations of the plot, then the action cuts to the scene of the Pussycats playing (in re-used footage from the original series, and inexplicably now dressed in their original Pussycat outfits). In one cartoon, the plot called for them to be bowled over along with their instruments, and in the next scene they're shown lying on the floor along with their instruments in disarray, now dressed again in their space outfits! We're never even given an initial episode explaining how they get lost in outer space, except for the opening credits, where for some inexplicable reason, the Pussycats, Alex, Alexandra, and Alan are all having a photo-shoot atop a rocket gantry in front of an open space capsule, when Alexandra tries to crowd in front and hog the spotlight, causing them all to fall backwards into the capsule, where Alexandra's arm activates the lever controlling the launch sequence, the capsule door automatically shuts, and the rocket takes off -- that's it. Unlike the original JOSIE, this spinoff series didn't even bother with simple title cards for each episode's title (even though those cost nothing to animate). The scripts are repetitive and tired. Each episode involves some new planet where some new menace lures or captures their spaceship, and plans on using it to (usually) invade the Earth (or less often, the universe, or neighboring planets). The fact that Josie and the gang have no idea how to get back to Earth never seems to deter these alien despots, even if the context of the episode makes it clear that this is the first time for contact between earth-people and this particular alien race. Most of these tin-pan tyrants seem like (despite some nice character and vehicle design work from Alex Toth) they are the kind of low-level nuisances that Space Ghost or the Herculoids couldn't be bothered with, or would have defeated in a few minutes.

To understand how a Hanna-Barbera animated series could have gotten so bad in the short amount of time from the 1970 to 1972 TV seasons, it's helpful to look at this list of HB productions:

HANNA-BARBERA CARTOONS:

1969-1970 season
THE PERILS OF PENELOPE PITSTOP
DASTARDLY AND MUTTLEY IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES
CATTANOOGA CATS
SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU!

1970-1971 season
THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
WHERE'S HUDDLES?

1971-1972 season
THE PEBBLES AND BAMM-BAMM SHOW
HELP! IT'S THE HAIR BEAR BUNCH!
THE FUNKY PHANTOM

1972-1973 season
THE AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHAN CLAN
WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME
THE FLINTSTONE COMEDY HOUR
THE ROMAN HOLIDAYS
SEALAB 2020
THE NEW SCOOBY-DOO MOVIES
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE

The Flintstone Comedy Hour and The New Scooby-Doo Movies were both hour-long series, so in 1972 HB was producing 4 and 1/2 hours of animation for television (even if half of the Flintstone Comedy Hour was re-runs of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm episodes from the season before, with only 4 new ones produced for the 1972 season). In the previous two TV seasons HB had only produced an hour and a half of shows, so they really must have been struggling to keep up with their production schedule. In addition to the sheer number of hours, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home was the first animated series (syndicated) made specifically for an adult audience (NBC aired it in a 10:30pm time slot), and you can imagine that as such, more time, effort and money went into producing each of those episodes, both from a writing and an animation standpoint, and using the best of HB's available staff.

It's obvious that not too much imagination or effort went into the production of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IN OUTER SPACE, which is a shame. Despite the silliness of the premise, something interesting could have been done with the idea with more time and a better budget, and a studio staff not stretched to its absolute limits. If there's any bright spot at all in this cartoon, it's Alex Toth's character and vehicle designs, and Melody's cute new alien pet Bleep (voiced by Frank Welker). Unfortunately, Bleep takes over most of the plot functions of Sebastian from the original show, so Sebastian's part is reduced accordingly, and in most episodes he has little to do.

The library is closed today 👅💦 💦 💦 👅. And no mail today either. Well I wasn't expecting anything. All my comics come monthly from Midtown Comics. I'll call them tomorrow to see when my next shipment with be shipped.

I was watching Adventure Time & Criminal Minds on my iPod Classic before. I have to get up soon . I hope 4 cds come to the library that I was waiting for. Maybe they will be there.

I ate at home to save money. I had to go pick up my mom's prescriptions. And I also got my Omeprazole. My aide & I also had to go to Food Town. I bought my mom & I each a slice for supper.

I used my $50 Visa Giftcard my cousin brought me for college graduation. I brought these from Barnes and Nobles and spent only $25

Archie Giant Comics Jackpot
Betty and Veronica Comics Double Digest #246
Archie Back to School Annual #271
and
World of Archie Comics Double Digest #61

I wanted to buy Archie's Favorite Christmas Comics but it was not in stock.

I have to call back The Board Of Elections to let them know I can work the primary next week. They called me at 9:30am and yes I was still asleep because it is my day off from work. Also, I have to put my money in the bank. I got my debit card back finally.  I might check out some stores later

I went to Barnes and Nobles again but one in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It is across from New York Methodist Hospital.

I brought

Archie Giant Comics Blast
Archie Giant Comics Party
and
Archie #11

Terrible morning, My reacher came from Amazon. And the package was bent in half & I opened it . The was cracked in half. I was furious. It makes you never want to get a package again. That ruined my morning. I met my aide at post office. I needed to get more big enevoples. And 10 stamps.We went to McDonald's for lunch & then we went to Target. They had no digests to buy.

I preordered Archie #12 from The Google Play Store. I can't wait to see more of Thomas Pitilli's art. I love it 💐 🌷 🌼 🌸 🌾 💐
We are go visit my brother today. I'll take pictures. My mom going go swimming & Sean & I will go to Schnipper's & the library near his home. We will the Access Ride before, we pick someone in RiverDale. The sthe road was so rocky, there were no sidewalks. If I live there you would always depend on Access A Ride.

I'm on my 15 minute break at work. Its been good so far not many people bothered me and I was shifting clothes because the sweaters were so compacted it was hard to shop. I went to a furniture store with my mom and dad earlier today. Besides that I did nothng else but I did watch the King of Queens.

Long day, I read library books & comics throughout the day. My mom helped me with a shower. I watched Sweeny Todd. And I took a nap.We order a pizza pie for supper. Now my mom & I each have slice leftover for tomorrow.

I'm going to have a long next 2 days. Job interview, jury duty, and working with the primary elections.


yeah.

5am till 9pm work day tuesday.

but i wanted to do this, I can do it :)

Were you picked for Jury Duty? I was on a case 15 years ago. And we had to stay in a hotel over night. And when ate, I had my first piece of cheese cake.

No, my dad who is a court officer got me out of it. I wanted to serve but i had too much going on this week and I got more on my plate now. So I basically served 30 seconds they gave me a slip and told me "don't show anyone the paper".

My mom had to serve on a case like 2 years ago. Her case was scary. She was also in a hotel room and they took her phone away.

-------------------------

Looks like i like 75% got the job. They asked me to go in for training Wednesday and Thursday. Told me my pay too. However, they didnt say I was hired officially yet. I think this next step is to see if I can do the job. Tomorrow i have to wake like at 3am to work the primary elections. 5am till 9pm shift

Okay. Poll training is not fun. Been up since 3:05am, arrived here at 5am. Itis 7:06pm and I do not get to leave until 9pm. All i did was sit and sit and sit

You could read comics while you wait. Do you have any digital comics on your phone? I always read them when I'm waiting to be called in for a doctor's appointment.

I brought Archies Favorite Comics from the Vault and Archies Favorite High School Comics with me. I must of read them over 5 times today. Should of brought more.

My mom & I just came home from appointment with my primary care doctor. I have a pre ulcer on left foot. Its been a sore on left foot for 3 years. I have it on my ever since I fell 3 years ago plus my left foot is so twisted. I walk on my left ankle.  I will get a cream for it .And I will see a new podrist.

So no new job. I got rejected after spending all day training. :'(

Long Day , I read in my room in the morning. I had a lot of library books to read. I made a Chicken Parmesan Lean Pocket for lunch. I read more library books until my aide & I going go out. I had a few chores to do, the bank, getting my prescription, getting milk. And I bought home 2 rice balls. One for me & one for mom.

I want to go get a trim. My hair needs it. 

We are back already. The salon was packed. I'll have go some time next week. So we went Walgreens & bought 2 slices home. One for me & one for mom.

My brother came over. I made a bag full of those Life With Archie variants & a few of those Life With Archie #36 & #37. I still have the ones I like though. I don't need to save them all.  I gave 2 copies of a Jughead which I have already. I also gave 3 or 4 digests. We went to the thrift store to donate it.

I just bought my digital copy of Archie Meets The Ramones. I can't wait to read it.

I'm at work. I have the biggest headache/toothache though. Im telling my dad later because i want the pain gone. Im so sad though. I cant concentrate either

Some great issues from the 1970s there! I see an issue of DC's GHOSTS in that basket, but what's the other DC comic in back next to it? Can't quite make it out.

Other comic was Batman!!

Cool! That was really a fun DC comic back in the day. Maybe I just get too jaded from reading so many comics, but it doesn't seem like there are as many fun comics published today as there used to be overall, despite the huge number of titles out there. You can still find some ones you missed out on in the back issue bins, I guess!

Eeep!  The Archie's are certainly nice, but the Ghosts and Batman are the Treasury Editions from '74 and '75 respectively. What an awesome gift basket!

When I was taking a nap that's when I found out about Reggie getting his own comic. I was so happy.

Today is my mothers birthday. We are going out to dinner at Fridays

My mom is going on a trip to Arizona for her job today. I have no work so I will relax at home today. Tomorrow I work at 7am till 12pm. Do not know what to do, i might read a cople of my new Archie books.

Lazy day, I read Archie #12 my digital copy at 4 am. I read library books & comics. We didn't go out . I wore my night splints for about 2 Hours. I colored in my new stress free coloring books & watched Suite Life On Deck on my iPod Classic. And then took a nap.

Today I brought my airplane tickets to San Francisco from NYC and also got my airplane tickets from Los Angeles back to NYC. One whole week in California, I'm excited :D

I read a lot & watched Poison Ivy. Then took a shower. We went to the thrift store. They still had the comics that I gave them. And we went to KFC for supper. What a belly sinker. We also went to Lot Less. They didn't have any more of Archie notecards. Good thing I bought 10 of them when they had them,

I already had a busy day. Went with my dadto pick up my mom from the airport. My dad got lost in the airport and turns out where I said where we had to be was correct.

This morning I was sitting at the computer & heard a huge boom. And you could hear firetrucks & ambulances & helicopters. It was that gas explosion. My mom & I live at 231 & Tibbett Avenue. Which is not far from 234 st where it happened. Thank God we are safe. When my mom left for work, she saw lot of fire trucks & ambulances on our block.

My Archie #12 came from tfaw.com I can't wait to read them & hang them up in my comic frames. Thomas Pitilli did the art I love him He's awesome.
Busy day, we able to leave the block even those there were fire trucks still on the block since this morning. I had to return a book & I picked up a few books. I had slice for lunch.
Then went to 5 & Below. I didn't buy anything but they had a lot of good stuff. I bought a soda at Annie's Pretzels.I bought home for mom . And when my aide & I came home. She helped me take a shower. The Rain nurse is coming tomorrow for a evaluation.

I am leaving in 30 minutes for work. I have to put my two checks in the bank and put in my second reqyest for the week off for my california vacation

So my boyfriend works in a supermarket and saw this before his shift started and surprised me by buying it for me  :smitten:

Yesterday I basically watched Oz all day. I love that show. I rented a couple seasons from the library. So reading for me today. I saw that there was another Archie Meets The Ramones cover. But its only be at sold at NYCC. I had to go fax my MLLQ around the corner. I played a lucky $7 & won a $1 so then I bought another lucky 7 & won $2 . So after thst I keep the $2. I returned season #3 of Oz to the library. And my aide & I went to Walgreens.

Today was a long day. My mom ended up going to the emergency room for high blood pressure. She went to a doctor to get a flu shot and once they took the blood pressure they sent her to go to the hospital. My sister had to drive my mom. Then, I went to the emergency room to be with my mom. I called out of work. She was released 2 hours after I arrived. Then, My dad picked us up and dropped my mom off home. I put 3 checks from work in the bank. Our new furniture came but they had the couch the wrong color so they have to come back Tuesday. The love seat and chair stayed. I ended up going to the Christmas Tree Shops with my mom and they are hiring seasonal so I applied online and hopefully I get morning hours for a while to have more money saved. Now I am relaxing. If I was at work now I wold be checking out the last of the customers

Work today from 4pm until 9pm

I have a doctor's appointment today. So it's going be a long day. I'm going charging my iPod classic so I could bring it. I'm also charging the power chair. I wish I could bring one of stress coloring books but that would be too hard to do while sitting there. I also have the Dentist on Thursday.

I'm in the waiting room at the Doctor's office. The appointment is at 1:30 pm. We were able to go see Betty at my brother's. He lives across the street from the doctor's office.

My mom & I are finally home 🌈⭐🌾🍀🌷🍁🐱. No good mail though. I'm still waiting for my Josie & The Pussycats #1& Saga.

I am at work at the moment. On my break. I took it early for some reason. I have to go back in 5 minutes

Great Mail day, my tfaw package came with Josie & Pussycats #1

And Archie Comics sent me another copy of Archie Meets The Ramones which I didn't order so that's nice.

Lol my normal work day is 7-7. I wish I did half days.

This is cool, if post s picture of yourself holding a copy of Archie #13 to Joe Eisma. You can get a free picture of a character. I did & he said he working a Reggie for me. I can't wait to put in one of my comic frames.

Relaxing. I worked from 5pm-10pm. I been talking to my boyfriend and we been on the phone for 1 hour and 5 minutes. He told me his job might not sell comics no more so no more Archie surprises :'(

The picture that Joe draw was a digital copy. So I made my icon picture there & on twitter. It's awesome.

I haven't done much even though I woke up early. I ate breakfast, showered, and now will do some envelope stuffing jobs I suppose.

Busy day the Nurse from Affinity came for her 6 month visit. She was late. It was a good visit. I had to run home and finished Fight Club 2 . The book was late I had to give hime 50 cents. So I finished it & returned it with 7 other books & 4 DVDs.

Right now I just started watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. I love that movie. It is on Free Form.

Not much. i had errands to do today like putting 3 checks in the bank but i felt sick. :/


So thats going to be done tomorrow and i can put my new check in the bank too since it is pay day. plus i can go to the gym tomorrow.

I was on the computer but a lot of websites said page can't displayed. So I thought it was because maybe the weather affected it but no. I had to flip a switch on & it came back to life. I asked Joe Eisma if he draw a little picture of Jason Blossom if I post another picture of Archie #13. He agreed to do it. I want to take the picture later when my aid gets there so she could take a nice picture of me holding Archie #13.

Rainy day in The Bronx. So I couldn't bring out my powerchair. My aide helped with taking a shower. I asked her if she could go pick up some books at the library for me. She got the 4 books. My maillady is going be on vacation starting tomorrow. On the 31st ,I'm get those 2 comic frames in the mail. I can't wait.

my plan today was to go to the gym and another Dollar Tree. That did not happen due to the cold and rain.I do not drive so I did not want to walk or take the bus. I stayed inside all day but i did some chores, I vacuumed the rug and did the dishes in the kitchen. I talked to my boyfriend for a bit, and he is calling me in less than an hour because he gets out of work at 11pm.

Tomorrow I have work from 12pm-5pm. After work my boyfriend and I are going on a date. We are seeing a movie in Brooklyn called Boo! A Madea Halloween and then going to eat at a resturant called Uno which serves Chicago style pizza and other food, and is open until 2am :)

I'm excited

Getting ready for work

So I was on Bay Ridge Ave and 5th Ave in Brooklyn and witnessed a car accident less than 10 feet in front of me with my boyfriend. If I was on the other side of the street we could of been hit with car debris. :/


Its a shame. My boyfriend kept telling me i had a scared look on my face.

You can got those free comicbooks from Midtown Comics now, I order 5 good ones. Plus I preorder Chip Zdarsky's Reggie & Me #2 which I love. I hope he does more covers in the future for Reggie & Me.

Went to the Zoo and then to a couple of museums.

I didn't go out today. My mom helped me with my shower 🚿. I mostly just read all day. Now there's a Roseanne marathon on Laff now.

Bad day at work :'(

I watched that Roseanne marathon too! And then I fell asleep on the last episode and I don't know what happened with Becky :(
------------------------------


I've been catching up with my journals. I have written 20 pages today on my journal and I still have more to go!

I'm finally in bed. I watched Ink Master. There's only 4 left shows left before the finale which is on December 6 th 2016. There's 3 girls left in the competition. They never had a girl win before maybe one of those 3 girls will win. Plus December 6th Reggie & Me #1 will be at the Google Play Store.

I called  out of work today. heading to the gym in one hour

I am meeting my boyfriend after his job interview. We are hanging out and going to a comic book store near which is the ones I go to on free comic book day. Then we are getting subway, it is buy one sub get one sub free day.

I had a busy day. I cleaned my room all morning. Boy I'm tired. I mopped my floor while sitting on my bed. And I threw away a lot of garbage. And I organized all my graphic novels.

Didnt go to the comic book store but we ended up going to dollar tree and i found 6 OPI NAIL POLISHES for $1 each. i am in shock. we then went to another dollar tree but it was a waste of time, they had two i already brought and one opened which was one i had brought earlier. Then we went back to his house for a bit. His mom wanted me to stay for dinner. its hard to talk to his parents because they dont know much english so i asked my boyfriend to thank them for dinner later for me when they get home

His family speaks Spanish so my boyfriend would have to translate. They try speaking english in front of me but its hard for me to understand with their accent, like yesterday apparently they asked me if I saw their daughter since she has a baby but i thought they asked me if my boyfriend showed me the cell (basement). Luckily I gave the right answer :/

I had a great day. Even though we had to wait for Access A Ride. My aide & I went to my primary care doctor. I asked them can I get my flu shot . I got to the Flu shot. And then we had lunch at Menchies. Yummy, I put Chocolate & Vanilla together with Reese's & M & M's & Kit  Kats in the ice cream. I took a picture of it. And when we went around the corner there was a RiverDale Farm which was a fruit stand. I took another picture of it. We went to CVS. While we we're waiting for 7 bus to go home & there were 2 more stores with the name RiverDale in the title. The RiverDale Grill . I forgot the name of the other one but I took pictures & posted it my Twitter.

Work and work lol

I was just fooling around with some pencil drawings I found online. The figures of Betty and Reggie came from separate cover variants that Dan Parent drew for ARCHIE #666. I saved both of those variant cover pencil sketches, opened them both up in Paint and cropped and erased the elements (background figures) in both images that I didn't want. Then I pasted the Betty figure and the Reggie figure into the same image. I noticed in both drawings that their hands were on their hips with their elbows sticking out, and I realized that if you overlapped the images, it looked like Betty and Reggie were arm-in-arm, so I did that, and erased the overlapping lines. This just turned out to be really fortuitous, because with the two separate figures lined up correctly according to height, the way that Dan drew them in the original pencil sketches, their eyes look as if they're looking right at each other! The original idea was to tone down the blacks here so that I'd have some light gray lines and I intended to print this out and ink it myself, and white-out the stray lines I hadn't already erased after inking it. That will take a while though, so I'll just show you what I've got so far. You can see a lot of broken lines where I had to erase stuff, but it's pretty clear for me to see where the ink lines need to go, so no big deal. Here you can see the covers those figures of Betty and Reggie came from, as they were printed in the final cover versions inked by Rich Koslowski.

Somehow I just never got back to fooling around with this image I put together from Dan Parent's original pencil sketches back in August (!), but tonight I found the image again and printed out a copy, so I could tighten up the pencils, add some different line weights and a little bit of texture. I'm still not even at the inking stage here, yet, but I just thought I'd show you the process of how it's coming along (compared to the raw image I pasted together above). Hopefully it won't take me another three months to complete this with final inks and colors.

You're home?  Please tell us about your California experience.

I'm doing my own thing today, my mom helped with my shower. I had a good lunch 2 small white castle cheeseburgers. I colored in one my stress coloring books. My Mom & I went to Staples last night. I bought a electric pencil sharper.

It's very windy & cold in The Bronx but my aide & I still went out. I returned a library book. And I got my Mom & I each a pepperoni slice for supper & 4 garlic knots to share. My mouth is drooling now . But I have to wait until my Mom gets home. Jughead would love this meal.

Lazy Day, I read & colored one of my Stress Free Coloring Books. I had 2 Chocolate Chip Eggos. Now I'm going take a nap till 6:00 pm. We saved those Garlic Knots from yesterday so they will be supper tonight.

Same to you Archiecomicxfan215. My aide is not coming today or tomorrow. But I'm going spend the day with my brother & mom. I'm still in bed now, my mom has to come in & help me get up. I can't wait for Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

Spent the day with my brother. We watched the Rocky Horror Marathon & Simpsons Marathon too. We went to the Avenue. We got some groceries & ate at the Deli. It was very good. I had a pepperoni slice & garlic knots. My brother had a cheese burger & Fries. It was a big feast.

My brother came over. We ate lunch at home but we did go out. He wanted to got to Bob's. He wanted to look at a couch. Bob's is a big store. And they have free ice cream . I took a vanilla cup of ice cream. It was so frozen. I had to really dig with the plastic spoon to eat it. My brother called ahead to pick up a pizza pie. We bought it home to eat.

Just took a 2 hour nap, i am enjoying my day off from work

Once again ir is raining. I am stuck home but thats okay. Two more wisdom teeth are coming in so i basically neen dealing with tooth pain and headaches

My aide & I didn't go out today. She helped me take a shower. It was raining too much. I charged my powerchair though. I read in my room. All my Reggie & Me #1's again. So I will put them back in their comic frames.

Still raining. i watched some tv before. now relaxinv. i work from 6pm-11pm tomorrow

Busy morning I had. I went out by myself. I had to go to the pharmacy & I had to get milk at Food Town. And I my lunch at Dunkin Donuts. I had a everything bagel with cream cheese. And I went to the library.

Today, well yesterday i helped my boyfriend apply for two jobs. we went to the library, printed out the application and filled it out, then walked to the two stores. i had work from 6pm to 11pm.


Tooth still hurts my dad is going to make a dentist appointment tomorrow for me

Spent the day with my boyfriend but i have to leave home at 5pm for work. its cold and i am taking the bus

Long Day for me. I slept most of it away. The only time I was up is when I read my Archie Meets Ramones. It was cool that says Comic Book Store Day. I'm watching a Simpson esposide where Bart has a mullet. This esposide #396.

I read & colored a lot today. I watched a few Simpsons esposides. I got my 4th pair of glasses from Zenni today. I'm going take pictures of myself wearing them tomorrow. I'll post pictures on my Twitter page.

Busy day, I watched The Simpsons 600 Episode Marathon for a while. I did Richard Simmons Blast Off dvd after lunch. My aide & I went out. We went to Walgreens. They had Ultra Color R3 - Light Intense Auburn hair dye. It's a Garnier hair dye. It was on sale for $6.99 & I had a coupon for buying 2 you save $4.00. So I bought 2 of them. I bought a soda. And I got Double AA Batteries at Lot Less. We also bought milk for mom & bought home pizza for supper.

I went to Brooklyn with my boyfriend, was supposed to spend the whole day together.. but then he had to go to Manhattan to meet his mom at the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller so they can take photos with their nephew, sisters baby.


Later on I found out my bf gotv elled at from his mom for not asking me to come along :2funny:

My dad brought 2 slices of pizza for me and my sister. yay lunch

I had a great mail today. My 2 pairs of sunglasses came from Eye Buy Direct. They have my prescription in them so I see through like they were normal glasses. Also a package from tfaw which I'm saving to open up at Christmas it includes
1-Beauty #6
2-Invincible-Volume #12
3-No Mercy-Volume #1
4-Morning Glories #50
5-Phonogram-The Immaterial Girl #6
6-Sex Criminals #12, #13, #14, #15
I took pictures of myself wearing the sunglasses outside. They are on my Twitter page-B & V #1 @MrsReggieMantle

Today I work from 12pm till 11:45pm. My boyfriend is at a hiring pool to become a New York City school safety agent. So proud of him  :smitten:

I want to try wearing my new sunglasses today. I hope the Sun comes out.

Another day working from 6pm till 11:45pm

Another day without the Sun. I did wear my sunglasses out though. I picked up a few library books. My aide & I also went to Walgreens. We had lunch at the deli. I had cheeseburger medium well. No lettuce & No Tomato. We bought a soda at this preztel stand. And I had to do some grocery shopping. And then we went home.

Work, work, and work. i feel like its groundhog day like in the movie

my dentist appointment got canceled. I'm sad because my tooth is in pain but at least my dad got it rescheduled for Tuesday at 5:30pm and now my dad doesnt have to drive near his job on the weekend as my dad works a block away from my dentist and its far. But still got the headache from my wisdom tooth pain. I was hoping to get it removed on monday or tuesday but what can you do?

So I might see if I can go to the supermarket and buy some breakfast food for myself so I can eat at home especially on the days I have to work at 8am next week. Plus I need to put my check in the bank so I can buy my mom her christmas gift next week

I'm in the process of getting another commission done. Another one from Gisele. I will mail her a blank Reggie & Me #1 but not until January . She told she very busy at the moment. Which is ok. I will not relieve what I want her to do for me. It will be a surprise. And I will post it on my Twitter page.

Lazy day, I colored My Simpson Coloring Book. My mom helped me with my shower 🚿. And we watched Home Alone. And we went out.

I relaxed and spent the day with my boyfriend at home. we had lunch n watched a movie and some tv. No work thankfully

Dentist appointment got bumped up to 4:30pm instead of 5:30pm

Bad news from the dentist. I am getting my left wisdom tooth removed. Not sure when yet because I need the appointment. Anyways, I am waiting up to buy this makeup palette being released at 12am eastern time. I have 43 minutes left. I wanted it last time it was released and sadly, i missed out and it was sold out. So I am happy for the re-release.

Tomorrow I plan to get a haircut, I need a trim.

Earlier in the morning I changed all my comic frames & put all 9 Commissions up on my wall. Today I'm expecting a package from midtown comics which will have
Josie And The Pussycats Vol 2 #3 - Audrey Mok Cover
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1 - Sandy Jarrell Cover
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1 - Ben Caldwell Cover
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1 - Derek Charm Cover   
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1- Robert Hack Cover   
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1 -Thomas Pitilli Cover   
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1- Michael Walsh Cover
Reggie And Me Vol 2 #1 - Blank Cover   

I actually went out by myself today. My aide has own appointment. So I decided to go get a haircut. But the lady I see was too busy. So I left. I went to Unique & looked around. They had a few comics that still had the person's name it & they were still in the plastic. The name on the comic was Ryan Jampole, could that be the same guy who draws for the comics? I bought Jughead #10 & Reggie #1.
I also went to McDonald's & got a Sausage Biscuit for lunch. And I ran home because it was cold.

My makeup palette came in today. I love it. Im going to use it later as i got a free eyeshadow primer sample. Its going to be real cold tonight, i need to bundle warm. Plus my dad is going to pick me up and its going to snow. I have to call out of work tomorrow.  At least I have sick hours i can use.

I had a great mail day. My grandpa sent $100 for Christmas. So I gonna get a commission with it. Thanks Grandpa.

I talked to Gisele & told her I plan to mail the Blank Reggie & Me #1 tomorrow.

I clocked out of work at 11:57pm. I was upset it was messy and late.

Currently at work but in the fitting room. So i took my phone because why not. It boring when nobody is coming in at this time of night

I have a do a EMG today but I also will mail the commission to Gisele..

I am getting ready to go to the store to pick up my moms gift. Then i might head to my job so i can drop it off near my locker as i start work at 4pm. It might be big and heavy but i hope not.

While I was at the hospital doing my EMG my brother mailed my commission to Gisele. We ate pizza at his house. My brother got a new couch today.

I started my work at 4pm today. My job made my 45 minute break from 5:45pm to 6:30pm. That is way too early. One manager told me it was fine, i can go then. Another manager told me that 5:45pm was way too early, thats crazy. I agree with her too because I wasnt on shift for over 2 hours.


I went to wendys. Had the 4 for $4 which came with jr bacon cheese burger, nuggets, fries, and a drink

I dyed my hair true red. I will post pictures on my Twitter page later.

So we have no hot water at the moment which is great (sarcasm lol)

I went to work 7am until 12:30pm and once it hit 9:30am it was a mess. I had to go on register even though I was the only one in Women section. Not fun at all. They should know to keep me on the sales floor. Anyways, tomorrow I have to go to work at 6pm and it is going to be even more crazy. Yikes.

I also went to Dollar Tree and they barely had any good stuff to wrap gifts in but i think i got good stuff. Unless my mom has extra

Today i read some of my Best of Archie Comics delux edition. I am going to take a shower and charge my phone and head to the gym soon. Im bored, i need to get out. I do not go back to work until sunday

I actually went out by myself this morning. I had some chores to do. I bought a Valentine cards for my momv& brother. And I bought a birthday card for my brother. We share the same birthday. We will both be 37 on February 18th. I hope both my brother & I can both go to Forbidden Planet on our birthday. I'll use the Forbidden Planet gifth he gave me for Christmas at the store. Also I saved the $100 my mom gave for Christmas, I'll bring that too.

Today i got called to work but i cannot go as i am halfway to Brooklyn wearing blue jeans and blue jeans not allowed. *sigh*


But i am seeing a movie with my boyfriend "Why Him?" :smitten:

Gisele received my package today . We have been talking through Twitter. And I told I can't wait to get the Reggie & Me #1 back. I asked her to write on For Erin Love Reggie. It's going be awesome.   

I went to work. I got called in. It was boring too. Tomorrow i get my wisdom tooth pulled out

I have been recovering from my wisdom tooth being pulled yesterday. Today in feeling better, less stomachache n headache from anesthesia. I went out to the supermarket and mcdonalds. I only got an iced coffee. I am going to Costco to set up my new membership later and might go to Target to see if i can find the chocolate strawberry limited edition oreos.

I was in my room all day cleaning.Boy I'm tired. I put new plastics on all my Betty & Me & Betty's Diary & The New Archies. I cleaned my floor.

Im staying up till 1am because Dick Clarks Rockin New Years Eve is showing it turn 2017 central time. I work at 9:30am though!

I never stay up for the ball drop. I'm just too tired. I don't think I ever watch it.

I didn't see any ball drop this year despite watching the live coverage of NYC. The screen just changed to 2017. Maybe they don't do that anymore?

I am trying to figure out what to do for tomorrow. I might go to Toys R Us and Barnes and Nobles i really do not know

Dick Clark is still alive?  :D

I spent hours and hours last night saving about 240 pages (which amounts to the first four issues, or story arcs) of Holly G's webcomic, SCHOOL BITES. Frankly it's a lot of work, but I like to save the actual images of the pages (which, for webcomics, are usually in .JPG or .GIF or some other common, non-proprietary graphics file format) so that I can sort them into folders using some sort of logical alphanumeric file naming sequence. That way I can read them later either on my tablet or desktop using some generic image viewer app, and just see the pages and not the ads on the webcomic HTML page as it's displayed in a browser. So I just right-click on the image, and "Save Image" to an appropriately-named folder, naming each page as something like "School_Bites-Page_001" and so on, in sequence. In this case it turned out to be fortunate decision because somewhere in the middle of the third story arc, SCHOOL BITES began skipping pages every 3rd page or so (it was apparently on a 3x weekly schedule as a webcomic), and posted either a pin-up or a gag strip (either by Holly or someone else) or some sketch or personal journal kind of strip for that date instead of another page of the story. So as I'm going along saving the main story pages, I'm sorting those little interruptions out by saving them into a different file folder than the main story continuity pages, naming the folder something like "SCHOOL BITES - Pin-Up Special" or "SCHOOL BITES - Special Strips", instead of the one named for the story arc ("SCHOOL BITES #3 - Phys Ed" ... each story arc or issue # has some clever title related to school like "Orientation", "Blood Sucking 101", "Phys Ed", "Music Theory", or "DETENTION"). So far it's working out to be that each story has a little over 60 pages, but it looks like a couple of the later issues or stories might be much longer than that. There are 8 issues or story arcs in all, amounting to some 600-odd pages in total. I made it as far as completing the folder that I named "SCHOOL BITES #4 - Music Theory", but like I said, the later arcs/issues look longer (and who knows how many pin-ups and non-story pages to sort out in that 400 pages or so that I have left to save). It'll all be worth it when I finally sit down to read it all, and I can just swipe or click through the pages of story a lot faster.

Just saw Star Wars Rogue One

Tomorrow I am going to go to Costco with my boyfriend and use my membership for the first time. I'm excited. I am also going to help my boyfriend get a money order because he needs one for friday for the finger printing at his background check

Rainy day, I couldn't go out with my power chair. My aide di my wash for me. I read in my room. I read a lot of Kevin's. And I just order a pizza pie for supper. 

I am at work. Currently on my 15 minute break. We close at 9:30pm it is 8:06pm

My treat for going to (https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/815572176128643072/l8lvGlRB_bigger.jpg)
My treat for going to the Moses Spinal Cord Clinic , I bought a $30 ITunes Gift Card.

My 2 pairs of Glasses came from Glasses Shop. I took pictures which I'm post on Twitter tomorrow. My aide & I went to the library. I got a lot of books. And we got a drink at KFC. And we went to the Thift store. I got The United States Of Tara Season #2.

I went to Forbidden Planet with my boyfriend today. I didnt have time to look for any comics but i looked at the funko pop and i didnt buy any. But my boyfriend brought 2. I brought some at a gamestop in Bensonhurst Brooklyn.


At Gamestop Funko pop were buy 1 get 1 50% off today

Wow you went to Forbidden Planet, that's awesome. I'm planning to go there on my birthday on February 18. The last time I went was in October. Didn't you love it. My picture is of me there in October of last year.

Yeah, i enjoyed it :smitten:


Yesterday was my first time there ever. I thought it was going to be bigger though but i did enjoy like i said  :)


I hope to go back around then too

Haven't done much today. I've been journaling and right now I'm browsing the internet looking for more journaling ideas.

Currently at work in the fitting room and we are counting the crazy people coming out in the snow storm  :2funny:

Give us a recap when you're able.  Hockey in person is amazing to watch.




Go Islanders!

I started my first semester of college. It was pretty neat. I only had one class today. I guess that makes up for my 9:30AM starting class and 9:00PM last class on tuesdays lol

it was fun. The first period both Islanders and Panthers scored. Then an 18 minute intermission so players can rest. The second period the Panthers scored so it was 2-1. Another 18 minute rest. Then nobody scored in the 3rd period so sadly the Panthers won, but it was nice to go to a hockey game :)

Had my job interview now its 7 days until i find out if i get hired or not

In the mall again, my boyfriend is surprising me with food from the foodcourt. I had no idea what i wanted 😂😂

Here's 2 rough drafts for me that Gisele did

I got a package from Midtown Comics came today.
Archie #15-Eisma & Zullo's
Jughead #12-Charm
Reggie & Me #2-Jarrell & Zdarsky's
Road To RiverDale
Saga #41
Deadly Class #25

So I found out a few weeks ago that my coworkers daughter lives on my boyfriends block. Then today I saw a photo of the daughter via facebook because I found it ironic and my coworker like knows my boyfriends family and apparently her daughter who lives on my boyfriends block apparently is dating my boyfriends cousin... welp...

as people say "its a small world after all"..... still kinda shocked  :o but yeah that's cool I guess lol

Today i got work at 5pm. They made me a cashier not happy. I like being sales floor

Gisele posted a preview of my Reggie & Me #1 on my Twitter page. So I posted a picture of it on my page there. I love the commission, it's gorgeous.

Home today, no work. I dont go back until next monday. Tomorrow going to hangout with my boyfriend

i preordered the Powerpuff Girls funko pops :smitten:

Yesterday I got my free glasses from Firmoo. I'll to take a picture of me in them later.

I was supposed to meet my boyfriend today but he woke up late. Buy the time he gets dressed and on the bus and near me would have to go back home to get ready for work and eat dinner. So i decided i might head over to Dollar Tree to buy some snacks for later

My aide Esther & I went out. I haven't been out in a while. We went to the Thrift Store. They had a Steven King book . I called my brother to see if he had it & he didn't. So I bought it for him. And we came out of the store. And a lady asked would like any of these books? And she had 2 that my brother would like. So I got him those books. And said no charge. I did ask if she had any Steve King books? But she didn't. And we went to The Garden Gourmet. I had to buy milk. And they had yogurt on sale. So I got 3 of them. And we went to KFC to get a drink. And I bought the refill home for mom.

Great news my brother Sean received the commission today. He will hold for me because I'm going over to his house on Friday. I can't wait to open it  I'll bring one of comic frames with me so I put it in. And the next day I'll take a picture of it on my wall.

I have been busy cleaning up the living room while being in my wheelchair. It's a workout. I mopped & throw away stuff. I found a pair of teal glasses my mom was looking for.

I'm sitting in my wheelchair because I have true red Hair dye #66 in my hair. So I have to wait for it to settle in my hair & then I'm going wash it out soon.

Yesterday was a great day. I went to the city & hanged with my brother. I even got the easier Access A Ride to get into. It's a van that lets me in sit in front with my powerchair. And it's easier to get out. At my brother's we watched RiverDale. He likes it too. And my brother was holding on to my commission from Gisele so it wouldn't get ruined. I took a picture with plus the 2 beautiful posters she sent me.
We also watched more tv & we went to Schnipper's for supper.

I went to the gym at 8am and my dad pcked me up by 9:30am. Now i am home but at 12pm my dad and i are going to head to the bank. I work at 5pm

I expect I'll be eating a veggie burrito at approximately 9:10 pm and enjoying an adult beverage at about the same time. Around 9:35 I'll be posting incendiary comments on Twitter and if I still have my wits about myself I'll post some irrelevant nonsense here as well.

;D  Sounds good.

I was at work from 11am until 8:30pm. So that was my day. 11am to 4pm cashier, 4pm-4:45pm my 45 minute break and then 4:45pm to 8:30pm sales floor in the Womens section.

Today I have work from 5pm until 10:15pm. I work in the womens section again. Just made Mac n cheese for lunch. Didnt have breakfast as i woke up too late.

I went to the library by myself. I returned a few books. And I got 2 Gravity Falls dvds & 2 books out. My aide did my wash. I did some leg exercises with the new stretching bands. And I took a nap.

I changed my wall. I have to take a picture later today.

Leaving at 11am to pick up my check and check my work schedule for the week of the 13th. Then off to meet my boyfriend and we are going to Brooklyn to try this popular rainbow bagel with funfetti cream cheese and then back to Manhattan to check out some stores, like another location of my job and such :smitten:

My brother coming over today. I will be getting a package from Midtown Comics which will include
Josie And The Pussycats Vol 2 #4 Cover C Variant Michael Walsh Cover
Invincible #132
Saga #42
Archie Vol 2 #16 Dean Trippe & Marguerite Sauvage & Joe Eisma

i returned two pairs of gym pants that did not fit me today at Burlington Coat Factory, then went to the supermarket with my dad, put my leftover money from my check and my pants return in the bank. Later tonight I am going to the gym

Serious question, but why don't managers of businesses that employ folks with "flexible" schedules email that info out to their staff?  It easy enough to hide folks email addy's for privacy's sake. 


Please let us know what's in a "Rainbow" bagel.  I cannot imagine what it is myself.

Went to work, then stopped at the grocery store to pick up some food on the way home. Watched some cartoons, did laundry, and read a book. No comics reading, oddly enough.

These are the rainbow bagels

Seems overly complicated to me. Couldn't you just cover the bagel with cake frosting decorations and it would be just as healthy? Or say, some 50/50 blend of cake frosting & cream cheese with different food colorings. Then maybe use the Oreo crumbles or Fruity Pebbles just like sprinkles. Just pretend it's a cupcake, that works.

I like that idea too :).


I don't know why those are very popular, even after my boyfriend and started eating they made a fresh batch and sold out in like 20 minutes. I even saw someone from BuzzFeed make a video on them on her own channel on youtube (she left buzzfeed) and she lives in LA according to her page :/

I worked in a bagel place, and we never concerned ourselves with toppings.  It was all about the bread, yo. Bread rocks.  Ask your best deli's.

The Art of the Pimp by Dennis Hof. 

I'm not even sure what prompted me to buy it (it was some years back, and I just never got around to reading it until now), probably just that I liked the cover (no pictures) and it sounded like it might be good for a laugh. At the time I didn't even know who this Dennis Hof guy was, but for whatever reason I just saw it sitting there the other day and realized I never did read it, so I picked it up and started browsing it, then went back and started reading from the beginning. It turned out to be an interesting book. I think I was expecting maybe around a 90%+ level of BS, but now I don't know what to think. There's one whole chapter devoted to a scenario where he gives a motivational talk about "The Art of the Sale" to one of the girls, explaining (in detail) how she should negotiate the highest price from the customer for the girl's services, and it effectively rips away the curtain, giving away the secret of his success, which left me wondering why he would do that (not only because he's giving away free advice to his competitors, but isn't it pretty much guaranteed that all the clients at the Bunny Ranch are going to be reading it also?). Also there are sidebar pieces throughout the book where he allows his most outspoken critics to have their say in their own words, and again... I just have to wonder WHY he'd give equal time to his detractors. What it boils down to is that the guy has a history in sales (real estate and time-shares) as a businessman, and sees the sex business as no different than selling any other product, but he says even in his real estate days he could never sell any property that he didn't believe in (like something next to the airport). To him it's all about changing the customer's perception of value for money, and insuring customer satisfaction and repeat business, and he sees the key to that as motivation and positive thinking, where the girls are trying to level up their game. The girls are his sales team, and they're all independent contractors who split their self-negotiated fees 50/50 with the house (they also retain the right to refuse any client -politely- or any specific request, if they aren't comfortable with it, and the rooms are wired for audio in case of any emergency, for their safety). Hof also did some reading of Dale Carnegie's books and his whole sales approach seems to stem from the idea of motivating his workers to achieve success so that they can use that wealth to move on to whatever their goals are. It does seems like he's improved the working conditions, and from a business perspective it seems to make perfect sense - you build a successful company by having successful, motivated workers who are there because they want to be there, not because they have nowhere else to go. Definitely NOT what I was expecting, but fascinating.

My aide & I had a busy day. We first returned 5 of my books. And we went Kingsbridge Pharmacy & the line was out the door. So we had to come back. I had buy some stuff at Walgreens & their lines were so long so went to get lunch at Boston Market. I had a Ceaser Chicken Salad . It was too much to eat. I bought a big soda Annie's Pretzels. And I bought that home for mom. I needed to some cereal. Reese Puffs were on sale for $1.88 so I got 2 boxes. And we back to Kingsbridge Pharmacy & Walgreens.

Today I have my rescheuled job interview at 10am. I am a bit more nervous as this is for real today. I hope I am hired after all of this, it would be amazing. Then I have to pick up my check from work and I also have to get my boyfriends birthday gift.

Went to Doodys which is a hardware store/kitchen and storage store today, then went to work. Was cleaning the homecsection but the manager wanted me in ladies at 7pm

My brother came over. He was able to go out to get my library books because the curbs were too full of Snow. We order a pizza pie & it came with garlic knots & bottle of Diet Pepsi. There's pizza left over for tomorrow.
I bought the full season of RiverDale on ITunes this afternoon. And I bought earrings for my birthday. I can't wait to get them.

So far, I'm listening to an 80s radio show and writing my wife's birthday/Valentine's Day card (they're the same day!).  Later gonna get some coffee and just enjoy the day.  Hope y'all have a great day!

I got really late today at 11. I couldn't go out with my power chair. It's really. Tonight Lady Gaga & Metallica are going sing together on the Grammy's.  I can't wait to see. The day got away from , I'll read some comics. We have left over pizza from yesterday so that will be our supper.

For my birthday on February 18th, my mom & I went to Vision Works. And she helped me pick out 2 pairs of glasses that we turn in Sunglasses . One is nice teal color & the other one is dark pink. I'll post a picture of me wearing them on my Twitter page after I get them.

oooo thats nice, I did that for my birthday in 2015 :)

Today for my birthday I am getting a new cellphone. I am going to be getting  probably the iphone 7 plus. I hope I have enough money saved thats what I am worried. My old phone the Samsung Galaxy s6 broke

🎉 🎊 🎁 🎉 🎊 🎁 Happy Birthday, how are old are you today? My brother & I turn 37 on February 18.

Thank you BettyReggie 😊

Well Cole Sprouse is 24.  About time he gets out on his own!

I was able to get in the car with my mom & brother's help. We went to feed Archie. He is a stray cat. That my mom takes care of. And we went to White Castle. We had chicken Rings & fries & cheese burgers. I decided not to have supper.  I did a second workout, I lifted weights for 30 minutes.

My mom & I went to Vision Works to pick up my sunglasses & I posted a picture of myself wearing them on Twitter.

I took my son to see his glaucoma specialist for a 9:00 AM appointment. These appointments drag on FOREVER. It was pushing 1:00 PM before we were finally able to leave.

I dropped off paperwork to my new job and then went to luch at Dairy Queen. Brought a snack at Dollar Tree. Now on the bus going home.

Busy day for me. I'm on own today, my Aide has own appointment today. I did my Richard Simmons workout early in the morning. I finished all my library books. I returned all 5 of them. I went to Food Town & bought an apple sauce  & 2 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. They were on sale 2 for $5. And a bag of pretzels. I got a Sicilian slice for lunch.
And I had to go to The Bank so I can cash my $100 from my Aunt for my birthday. And I also went to the Thrift  Store . They didn't have any thing good.  My earrings came from Claire's.

I went to Target and picked up some groceries. Macaroni , Totinos Pizza Sticks, Cauliflower Crumbles, Braided Honey Wheat Pretzles, some veggies for dinner and because I wanted to try Peeps flavored Oreos. I was going to buy food for lunch but my mom made me lentil soup to heat and eat.

I'm going to be a Day Habilitation Assistant in group homes around my area where I live   :)

Today I had my fingerprinting appointment. It lasted like 5 minutes

Tomorrow I am going to Ihop for lunch with my boyfriend. Free short stack of pancakes for national pancake day  :smitten:

Great news my mom found an Abandon Kitten. She is going bring her to the vet & we will keep her. My mom is a Saint.

Our new Kitten is so cute. I thought of name for her. Her name is Lucky.

I work from 4pm until 9pm today. I find that weird because the store closes at 9:30pm. Oh well

My monthly shipment from Midtown Comics came today. And it included
Riverdale One Shot -Thomas Pitilli & Dan Parent's
Reggie & Me #3-Jarrell & Thomas Pitilli
Jughead Vol 3 #13 - Derek Charm
Josie And The Pussycats Vol 2 #5 Audrey Mok Cover   
Archie Vol 2 #17 -Tula Lotay & t Aaron Lopresti's

Tomorrow im going to check out a new Store called Primark. Its opening at 11am tomorrow. Almost got hired but they did not want me for some reason. Oh well I got a better job that pays more lined up but still excited to check it out

I had a long day because we couldn't go out. There's too much snow & ice outside. I did get good mail . 2 Netflixs-Suicide Squad & Richard Simmons-80's Blast off . I did that workout. It's one of my favorites. And I also watched Suicide Squad. My bought home a good supper. We split a rice ball . Yummy.

Found out I got hired for the new job and I'm super excited ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Another long day for me. I'm worried about my powerchair. It was acting up. So we stayed home today. Plus no one did a good job of getting rid of Snow. My aid went out to the library for me. She returned 2 books & got 2 books out for me.

Today's not such a great day. My left arm hurts. Last night I had sleep on my right side. But My left arm still hurts. It can be from a couple things .  The way I hold to my walker or from lifting weights. I have to put a heating pad on it again.

I been at my job training all week so far. I passed test#1 with an 81.5%. Passing was an 80%. I went to wendys with my boyfriend and one worker was rude. My boyfriend iverheard an employee say "why are those two sitting down for a while just with drinks?"


We ordered food and were finishing our drinks and its too cold to wait for a bus thats outside the store. Seriously  uncalled for :'(

This morning I watched the last episode of RiverDale So now I'm ready for the 30th.

Today was a great day. I mailed my Netflix . And my aide & I took the bus to Target. I haven't been there in a while. They had a cute pocket size coloring book for $3.00, I bought it. They did have Jughead & Archie Jumbo Comics BUT it was $6.99. I didn't buy it. They had their Easter Candy out already. I bought 3 Reese Pieces that are in a bag shaped like a carrot. One for me & one for mom & one for my brother. We ate lunch, a little mini Pizza Hut pie. Yummy.

Midtown Comics did have the new Comics. I preordered some.

Instead of my brother coming to my place, I'm going to his neck of the woods. We will go to the library near his house. I can't wait to see what they have. We will get Subway for lunch & binge watch Riverdale.

Sad news about the elevator in the library where my brother lives. It's  broken . So we just had to leave . We ate lunch at Subway . Now we are watching Riverdale .

Got my hair done today and it was much more money than expected i couldnt give the hairstylist a tip. I feel so bad but i thought it was better to pay the salon than not to pay for the services they gave me. :'(

I'm sitting there with hairdye in my hair so later I take a picture of myself so you can see the results. My brother is coming over today.

I went to the mall and exchanged things at Primark. I brought 4 pairs of shoes (Flats) at $5 each, 2 phone cases for my phone, a mug for $3 that is dishwasher safe, a 3 pack of face towels for $3, a stationary set with ruler, eraser, pen, pencil, and highlighter for $1.30, a storage container for my desk to put my pens and pencils in for $1.50, makeup blending sponges 2 pack for $1.80 and makeup remover mitts to get makeup off with water for $3. If that works no more buying makeup remover. I also had exchanged $41 worth of stuff for this so it is all good i only spent $0.88 lol

It's been a sunny day in The Bronx. My brother & I went to the Thrift Store. There was nothing to buy. We had our supper at The Deli, they have tables there. And bought home a slice for mom.

Today was a great mail day. I got my pink pair of Glasses from Zenni. And the first issue of RiverDale ftom my RiverDale subscription. My aide & I went out I took pictures of myself wearing the glasses. And we went to the library.
Later I posted the pictures on my Twitter page. And I put 2 pictures there. I just love these pink glasses, I'll wear them for RiverDale on Thursday.

I feel unhappy at my new job. I dont feel like i am being treated right. However i cannot quit

I bought this adorable tote bag of Jughead & Betty. I can't wait to get it.
[media]2790[/media]

New job was better today. I got out at 2:45pm instead of 4pm and spent 45 minutes with my boyfriend after i had my one hour lunch break with him 😂😂

I returned a Netflix & picked up 2 books from the Library. I had my supper early since we don't have anything at home. My aide & I each got a slice. I got one with Pepperoni. And we had to go to Food Town. And we also went to Lot Less. I got another Netflix in the mail.

We clocked out late at work. It had to be super clean because the new boss/manager is coming tomorrow to visit. Im not going to be there. I am worried he wont want me working night shift due to my new job.

My tv is still not working. I called them to have someone to come over to fix it. So hopefully I will be able to watch tv tomorrow. I did watch the new Riverdale on my iPod Classic . I did my workout already.

I spent the day supervising a family visit between my adult ward and his mother. We then visited his grandparents. Now I'm working on federal taxes.

I forgot to write about that my TV is fixed. So I don't have worry about missing Riverdale.

I've destroyed the status quo at this message board and pissed off some retard with a sockpuppet so bad he has permanent 7th degree butt hurt.

I think destroyed might be a bit of a stretch....seems more like annoyed

Don't know how long you've been around here but "Alexandra Cabot"/"B-ko" has been on here starting arguments forever.  Sorry but your take is just wrong.  I've quit the board several times because of her (his?) nonsense.  I would love it if it's over forever, but given the history I'm guessing it will be back sooner than later.   

I might starting the first of two days away from home abs work. My mother is having oral surgery and needs me to drive her to Mason City and back.

If it makes you feel better about this whole situation, I don't think you're a sock puppet, Ronnie.

Well so long Ronnie. I hope you and Alexandra find some board where foul language and negative attitudes are more appreciated and you'll have a good time.

Best of luck.

I got 2 boxes of neon colored pencils at Staples. My aide & I got a drink at KFC. There's a guy who a table filled with books . And some times he has comics too. I looked through them . Sadly no Archie. I used some Neon colored pencils to color Rose Nylund in that Golden Girls Coloring Book. I finished 3 pictures of the girls when I finish 12 I'm going hang in my comic frames. I'll post a picture of it on Twitter.  Tonight I colored a picture of Dorothy & Blanche. It's not finished yet.

I got home at 10:45pm. Been out of my house since 6:30am. And to do it again tomorrow. Having two jobs in rough

- Unpopular opinion: I will miss Alexandra
- @Ronnie, I hope you reconsider and stay.
- It's a good thing the applaud/smite funtions were disabled that way Cosmo (or anyone else for that matter) won't be allowed to go on more smiting sprees anymore.
- I don't know but Vegan Jughead comments still make me think he is spazaru(even though he denies it ;) [size=78%] ).[/size]

FWIW, there've been times when I've been randomly smiled by a member of this board. And it wasn't Cosmo and it certainly didn't happen on the hour every hour, but it was a member who's now banned from this forum.


I also hope that Ronnie stays.

Did anyone ever think to ask Ronnie for a list of links to the posts for which she received the smites? If not, then how do you know the smites were gratuitous, rather than deserved? If Cosmo is a new member, it seems logical to me he might be spending time reading through a lot of older posts. If he found some offensive and rude, isn't that what the smite button existed for? And if he found a LOT of them rude, then that's just mute testimony to the behavior of people who feel free to abuse the power of free speech in a completely unmoderated setting.

Cosmo was attacked for the smiting, and accused of being an "asshole" (Ronnie's word, not mine). Judging from that one thread she posted (which is deserving of a smite in and of itself), I would tend to believe she was not innocent and victimized, but fully capable of the kind of rudeness for which the smiting button existed. Cosmo responded to the accusation in a restrained and polite manner, so I have no reason to think he's just someone who's sitting behind a keyboard cackling with maniacal glee thinking "I will DESTROY you! HAHAHAHAH!!!" Besides which, why then would he single out Ronnie? She's not that active in posting.

On the other hand, it seems some people don't require any proof of wrongdoing other than a mere accusation. The number of smites doesn't matter, not if you can't show me the posts that were smited to try to justify that the smites were unwarranted. You can't just smite a person multiple times by going to their profile page. You need to smite a specific post for what it contains. That's the only way it works. If Ronnie's posts that were smited were innocent of any offense, then let her show them to everyone. There's no way for anyone else to discover that for themselves, because only Ronnie got alerted when any of her posts received a smiting.

I'm not getting after Ronnie or Cosmo. I just hope they both stay. :)

Well, if anyone is interested (I admit after considering it hypothetically, when I realized she only had 20 posts, I figured it wouldn't take up too much of my time):

http://www.archiefans.com/profile/?u=61;area=showposts;start=0 (http://www.archiefans.com/profile/?u=61;area=showposts;start=0)

Not too surprisingly to me after the brouhaha created by her accusatory thread, I find the general tone of her posts (short as they are) to be bitter and snarky, with nearly half of them containing some sort of offensive comment, rude remark, or vulgarity.

QuoteI have to ask this with no slight intended toward the artists - it's more directed to the idiots who like this crap..... :crazy2:

Are people that hung up on superhero comics? :idiot2:

Superhero comics are basically for basement-dwelling dweebs that don't have a life (here's a penny, go buy one, I want change back). For them a date is a nut that's something to eat and sex involves a sock and a supple right wrist along with the latest DC/Marvel comic for encouragement.

Her very first post, dated April 11, 2016, 07:30:51 PM:

QuoteSounds like I've missed a lot of drama here before joining  :smiley6600:

Well, I admit there's nothing offensive in that one. I only quote it here for irony. At least she got to experience the drama firsthand by starting some herself.

So I find 9 arguably smite-worthy comments out of a mere 20 very short posts. Pretty high percentile there. If I was looking at fifty or one hundred posts of a few sentences to a paragraph each, maybe I'd just brush those questionable things off as of no account, merely random instances. But for such a limited total word count, she manages to be much more offensive than makes me comfortable, especially considering that the post I reprinted above in its entirety (#9) is one of the few containing more than a couple of sentences.

I will not miss her. She contributed nothing of any real value that I can see.

Just got back from my son's parent teacher conference.

#9 This one's a personal favorite, so I reprint it here in its entirety:

QuoteI have to ask this with no slight intended toward the artists - it's more directed to the idiots who like this crap..... :crazy2:

Are people that hung up on superhero comics? :idiot2:

Superhero comics are basically for basement-dwelling dweebs that don't have a life (here's a penny, go buy one, I want change back). For them a date is a nut that's something to eat and sex involves a sock and a supple right wrist along with the latest DC/Marvel comic for encouragement.

Her very first post, dated April 11, 2016, 07:30:51 PM:

QuoteSounds like I've missed a lot of drama here before joining  :smiley6600:

Well, I admit there's nothing offensive in that one. I only quote it here for irony. At least she got to experience the drama firsthand by starting some herself.

So I find 9 arguably smite-worthy comments out of a mere 20 very short posts. Pretty high percentile there. If I was looking at fifty or one hundred posts of a few sentences to a paragraph each, maybe I'd just brush those questionable things off as of no account, merely random instances. But for such a limited total word count, she manages to be much more offensive than makes me comfortable, especially considering that the post I reprinted above in its entirety (#9) is one of the few containing more than a couple of sentences.

I will not miss her. She contributed nothing of any real value that I can see.

Don't take this the wrong way, but

What's done is done. Let's just move on :)


Oh, but I just want to say that I do agree with quote #3
Social Justice Warriors are the worse and are always ruining everything.

SJW is difficult as a descriptor. It says little and implies a lot when you refer to social justice warriors. I'm probably a social justice warrior, or a partial SJW. Whatever that means.

I still don't understand how Archie Comics, something so inoffensive and banal (at least the classic ones), can inspire such vitriol in people. It boggles my mind.


I think people like Alexandra/Ronnie come on the forums to feel good about themselves because they think they can one up these innocent Archie Comics fans. They believe most Archie fans are stupid because the comics are so simplistic. 


There is enough negativity in this world. I come here to relax and have fun. Why not talk about other hobbies/interests you enjoy if there's nothing going on in the Archie-verse? There are enough places on the internet i.e. Reddit, the YouTube comments section were these negative types can go play word games with each other.

The main cause of my umbrage here is that RONNIE has the audacity to point her finger at people and call them out as "assholes". Did ANYONE bother to even read her reply to Oldiesmann, in response to the action he took as System Administrator and CREATOR of this forum? Let's just dwell on that little bit for a few seconds. Oldiesmann REMOVED the "smite" button in response to Ronnie's indignance at having been smited. He solved her immediate problem, and took time out from his day to look over all the related posts in order to arbitrate that decision. While he found Alexandra's posts to be culpably offensive, and thus banned her from this forum, he chose to overlook Ronnie's calling Cosmo an "asshole". Is Ronnie at all grateful for the time he took to review the situation, and the action he took to alleviate the source of her complaint? She is not. Rather, her assessment of the situation (see her reply to Oldiesmann earlier in this thread) is to cry foul AGAIN. She makes it clear that she now feels doubly victimized, and calls THE CREATOR AND ADMINISTRATOR of this very forum (ALL of the activity here which exists solely at his suffrage) an "asshole". Yet somehow, we're all supposed to overlook that. It's all good, no harm no foul? Ronnie didn't mean anything by it -- it's just one of those things. Let it go. "PLEASE COME BACK RONNIE, WE'RE SO SORRY WE OFFENDED YOU! What can we do to make amends?" It sickens me.

And nobody has a problem with that, or thinks she should bear any responsibility at all? Irish, you're the first person besides myself to call "Shame on Ronnie". JonInIowaCity, I know is a nice guy, but there are some lines crossed that are beyond forgiveness. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Yet there's no sense among the members here of any rebuke directed at Ronnie? We just let her have her parting shot, and let it stand as unchallenged by anyone?

It wouldn't surprise me if Oldiesmann's reaction to seeing that reply resulted in him saying to himself, "I don't need this headache. Time to pull the plug. Nighty-night, Archie Fans."

Alright. I'll drop it.


Btw, I walked my dog this morning.

Apparently I missed a lot in the last few days! 


I got up at 5, walked my dogs and stopped at the grocery store for snacks for a work party.  Locksmith at lunch for a new key to my patio door, then over the border after work.  We have a 4-day weekend here, so I am looking forward to that.


Happy Easter!

At work leaving in like 30 minutes. Going to meet my dad we are going to a Yankee game

I'm taking a break. Work is crazy right now. Due to political factors that would get me accused by some of being "butt hurt," my department is going through lay-offs. Right now, we have 2 social workers for a unit that typically has five busy social workers. So chaos right now...

I had a coupon so we went to KFC for lunch. And I bought the soda home for mom. We went to the Thift Store. I bought a cute My Little Pony box. I hope my glasses fit in it.They had no good comics. Then we went home.

I prefer walking my dogs at night around 8-9 pm. Nice and cool then.

Hoping to go to an Easter egg hunt for dogs/charity walk this Saturday.

My mom (87) had to go back into the hospital yesterday morning (released Wednesday PM after hip replacement surgery) for diverticulitis and colitis. May have been present earlier but exacerbated by the medication and surgery. Hoping it's nothing serious. She should have been in recovery at home this week and next.

Also, my LCS sold his building and I was helping him clear out (deadline Tuesday 2 PM). Sale was closed (finally settled by arbitration), but due to the buyer dragging his feet on a sales agreement that should have been finalized by first week in January, it was over 3 months before he could get a check that would allow him to sign a purchase agreement for a new location. That puts him 'in-between' actual brick & mortar retail stores until he can get re-situated. He's got an offer pending on one building and was looking at a different location on Thursday.

Sorry to hear about your mom DeCarlo Rules. Hopefully she does well with just IV antibiotics and doesn't require further surgery/drain placement.


Did your LCS have a close out sale? Sounds like he will be getting a new location though.

He tried to get word out that last Saturday would be the last actual day at the former address. I couldn't make it that day, so I don't know how it turned out. Then he had to send out an email (and FB/Twitter etc) to alert his mailing list that he'd be renting local hotel space just to service customers with this week's new product on Wednesday. Haven't talked to him since then, so we'll see how things go. Hard for him to plan ahead when he's left hanging by a buyer with a sales agreement that fails to close as arranged (which as I mentioned was supposed to be at the beginning of January). So he had to scuttle whatever plans he'd had at that point, not knowing whether he'd be left with an empty building which would then have to be relisted until a new buyer could be found. This buyer (a Domino's Pizza chain franchise owner) really did him the dirty, leaving him with a minimally-stocked retail store (he'd moved 80% of his stock into temp storage by January) for over 3 months. Hard to say how much of that he could afford to move back just for a one-day sale, while worrying about needing to empty the building by the following Tuesday at 2PM, as arbitrated by a judge the week before.

Just to show you what a sleazebag this Domino's franchise guy turned out to be (let's call him ... "Paul", even though that's his real name), he was supposed to show up in court for an arbitration judgment meeting a week and half earlier than the one I mentioned -- he sent his lawyer, couldn't be bothered to show up in person. Well, his current lawyer -- he fired the previous one he'd had in January when the sale didn't go through due to the lawyer failing to have the building inspected (wonder how that happened?) -- instead the buyer showed up by himself, looked around for like 25 seconds  and didn't see bare walls and floors and walked out in a huff (Larry, my LCS owner, tried to explain he could have the remaining stuff moved out in like 1-2 days as soon as the inspector approved the building and he got a check, but in the meantime, he had an actual day-to-day business to run). Later Paul fired his lawyer (one of many) so he could shift blame for failure to live up to the p&s agreement. Never mind that this guy Paul had walked into the store a few years ago (may have been driving around scouting potential locations), inquiring about purchasing the building and tried to offer Larry a lowball bid (it wasn't listed at the time and he hadn't been thinking of selling, so he turned him down flat).

Signing a P&S agreement with Paul turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes Larry ever made in the 20+ years of being in business. Don't know if Paul just wanted some kind of cheap revenge for Larry turning down his offer of a few years back cold, but he made him twist in the wind because he knew Larry couldn't get on with his business until concluding the sale of the old building. After the January P&S agreement failed to close, Larry more or less wanted to try to find some minor building code violation so he could kill the sale, then take care of the violation, and re-list (he never did). In the meantime, he'd stay in operation in the old location.

At least when he was moving 80% of his stock out he discovered tons of old stock packed away in the basement that he wasn't even aware he had, so selling that off to other dealers (no room for that in temp storage) he made enough profit to pay for all his temp storage, taxes, loans and credit balances, and he still had more than enough sellable stock to keep going. It was just like a HUGE quantity of overstock (issues in quantity or entire runs of old titles) that he didn't have the room to display in the main store, which he'd been tucking away bit-by-bit over 20+ years of operation once it was past its immediate shelf-life, and he never had any real inventory on, so the old stuff packed away turned out to be like finding money in an old coat pocket.

But in terms of what it cost Larry in dealing with this particular buyer, who dragged out a closing sale that should have been completed over 3 months ago? Well, 3 months of temporary storage space rent, 3 months of lost rent from the mechanic's garage (part of his building) next door, 3 months of whatever potential profits his standing stock might have generated (if it had been on display in the store, as opposed to in temp storage), and 3 months of potential profits from whatever NEW standing stock he might have purchased for retail sale that he didn't, because if not sold, then it would just have to be moved into temporary storage (I think the only new stuff he bought besides regular monthly comics in this period were some of the new DC Rebirth TPs (and a few select Image TPs) released and whatever overstock liquidation HCs or TPs Diamond was offering deep discount sales on).

Thanks for the good wishes about my mom. They kept her until Friday night after giving her enemas and meds for the diverticulitis and colitis, until she could go back on solid foods again. Hopefully all that is all over with now. I guess the hip replacement surgery itself came off without a hitch, but all the meds led to aggravated constipation (no bm since pre-op) and the d&c. We all tried to get her to see reason years ago and have the surgery, but who knows what she was thinking, something like "It's not a big deal, I can live with it." ... I mean, she couldn't couldn't even walk from the front yard to the door without hobbling along at a snail's pace. Maybe it was no big deal at home (single-story condo) where all she's got to do is totter from one side of the room to the other, but it's not going to fix itself, so did she expect to just go on that way until... ? Anyway, the hospital pre-fitted her with a cane and walker before the surgery, so she should be fine I'm hoping. Saw her briefly while my sister was about to bring her back to the hospital Thursday morning, but naturally I didn't want to delay them (they wound up waiting at the ER practically all day just to get a CAT scan). Can't see her Saturday because of overtime (12 hrs) work commitments (need to cover while someone else in the department's on vacation), but hopefully I can spend all of Sunday morning with her, probably Monday as well.

I guess these hip replacements are pretty routine stuff, though. Found out last week that a guy I know at work was having his hip replacement surgery (double!, and he's like 25-30 years younger than my mom) done the very same week (he refused to go through it twice, according to another co-worker at the gym). Wouldn't have guessed it, because even though he walked with a limp, I'd always see him in the fitness center at work every morning exercising, bending & stretching, etc. and he seemed in pretty good shape for a guy his age (not a pound overweight for his height). Maybe I never saw him on the treadmill; I can't recall now. I didn't really know the history of his medical problem, and didn't want to be nosey and ask -- just assumed it was more of an orthopedic thing, since he didn't look that bad off (this guy rides a motorcycle, BTW). He's more of a casual acquaintance - a good guy, though. Haven't seen him since, but hopefully he'll be back next week or so and I'll ask how it went for him.

Kind of rambling here, but you know how it is.

Larry D.?     :o






p.s. Hope your Mom rehabs successfully.

I'm do a major cleanup in the living room today. I have so much to organize. I will do that after my shower.

Cleaning my bedroom a bit about to do laundry. i had Easter lunch/dinner with my dad and sister, my other sister is with her boyfriends family and my mom is in Ohio because my godfather/her cousin who is sort of like her brother got diagnosed with cancer and is going for surgery

We had an Easter egg hunt and I made a very yummy lasagna.

Typing up minutes from last month's church council meeting.

Finished one load of laundry and drying my last load. I had a jamacian beef patty for a snack. Im just waiting for my laundry to be done and I will probably go to bed as I sm tired


Back to work and now going to the gym tomorrow since I am officially on my part time hours 9:30am to 1:30pm

Busy day for me, I cleaned the living room. Plus I did 2 workouts. And I'm going hang up 2 more Golden Girls pictures that I colored.

I clocked out of work 20 minutes ago. Nobody asked me to stay so today is a good day

On the bus currently going to job #1

Got out of work at 1:30pm and then went to go home. I got home at 2:40pm and now leaving around 4:45pm to go to my second job

Another busy day for me. I saw the preview of what Sandy Jarrell will do for me. It's so cute. I made it my profile picture & at twitter. My aide helped me with my shower. I watched Shameless & I finished season 6.

I did my workout before . Who doesn't love Richard Simmons, he's a saint. 

Today I went to the car show with my boyfriend in Manhattan at 10am and we left around 1:15pm. Now I am at work. Im bored outta my mind and tired

I slept late today. I woke up at 10am. I then had some breakfast, took a shower, and now going to do laundry. I work at 4pm but luckily i get a 5 day break from my job

I had an okay day. My boss gave me my one month review and it was not good. Im not sure why because everyone says I have been doing an amazing job. But she said she would work with me. I am slightly confused. I have to go to the union and I will set that up tomorrow.

It was a rainy day in The Bronx. I got 3 shirts from Just My Size . I needed some new clothes. And I watched Sing, it was a Netflix. It was good. I lifted weights for 35 minutes to Miley Cyrus. I have one of cds. I took a nap. My mom & I had such good slice for supper. Even we have the slice left over because these were huge slices.

Today I'm going pick up my commission that Sandy Jarrell did for me. I wanted him draw Reggie as a young kid. And make Vader a puppy. I just Sandy's young version of Reggie. He's adorable. And also I wanted them playing together. I suggested they play in the winter. Sandy sent to my brother because it will be safer there because they lock packages up. I will post pictures of me with the commission over on my Twitter page.

I took a few pictures with the commission of Reggie & Vader. My brother & I watched RiverDale esposide #11. It took a long time to get home. When I did get home I put those pictures on my Twitter page.

I went to the Library by myself. I took 8 books. And I got my monthly Midtown Comics package.

Yesterday was so bad at work I am dreading going again today. But I have too. I also am going to stay at my boyfriends tomorrow after work but we are going to the Dennys grand opening. Miss Perkins though but at least there is a Perkins near my boyfriends house :)

Today was a bad day in general. I got sick and still feel bad. Better but not 100%


I had a bad headache and then my stomach hurt and I couldnt eat my dinner but was able to stomach it at 8:30.


I hope i donot have to call out tomorrow

I lifted weights for 30 minutes this morning to a playlist of grunge singers who have died. Sadly I had to add Chris Cornell to that playlist. I read for a while. Today should be good mail day. I'll tell you what comes later.

My Richard Simmons dvd Disco Blast Off came today. I can't wait to do the workout tomorrow.  I returned 6 books to the Library. And got one Invincible book out. My aide & I had Popeye's for Lunch.

I got offered a new position but it pays $0.90 more than what i currently get paid. Two days full shift one day part time shift still 20 hours. So i would get 4 days off from here instead

Busy DAY, my aide & I faxed paper workout her company. It's called a M11Q. There was nothing new at the library to get. I got new colored pencils at Staples.  And We went to McDonald's.

Went to work then went with my boyfriend to White Castle then back to his house. His mom made a delicious dinner of ravioli, pork and rice with beans. We watched Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune

I went to the movies with my boyfriend. We saw Baywatch. Then I went home, had a late lunch and went to work for my shift from 5pm to 10:30pm. Came home talked to my boyfriend for his 15 minute break and waiting for him to leave to call me back

I had a very busy day, my brother came over. We ate at Boston Market. This meal was belly sinker. Even we though we went around 3 pm that meal was dinner. I had stuffing & 2 pieces of Corn bread. And 4 strips of chicken. We had to go grocery shopping at Food Town. And then we brought our mom a slice for supper. I colored 2 more pictures in The Archie Coloring Book.

It's a rainy day in The Bronx, I have workout today. I didn't yesterday I was busy. I'll do Party Off The Pounds soon. I'll color another page or two in the Archie Coloring Book. My brother gave me a $20 gift card to Forbidden Planet so he will go get me another Archie Coloring Book.

Went shopping and spent money i shouldnt have after work. Oh well 😂

I was busy doing things I want to do. I colored 2 pages from the Archie Coloring Book. Now I put 12 of them so I'll take a picture of my wall with the 12 colored pictures in my comic frames. I put it on Twitter.

My aide & I went to the thrift store. They had a few Archie Comics but I had them all. They were still in wrapping with their Address still written in the plastic. So they didn't even read them. We had lunch at McDonald's. And we bought home the soda. I went to Lot Less. And they had a great Crayola product. I bought it.

Today I went to The Podiatrist. My mom came with me. We spilt a everything bagel for lunch. I color a page that Archie on the school stairs with the rest of the gang. I used my Crayola Color Lab pencils.

I cashed in my check. I gave my dad back the money i owed him. My mom made a delicious lunch of corn, fish sticks, rice and an avacado salad. I brought my boyfriend and I New York Mets tickets for July 17th. They will be playing the St.Louis Cardinals. He hasnt been feeling well so I decided to surprise him.

I got out of work at 10:30pm. It was a mess today. Not looking forward to work tomorrow as i am a cashier. Hopefully I get switched to the floor. I spoke to my boyfriend for a bit and now I am chilling until 1am then bed.

I did my workout with 2 fans on. It was so hot before. I read some comics & library books. I also coloured a page in The Archie Coloring Book.

Busy day, I did 2 workouts & colored pages in The Archie Coloring Book. I got a few books at the library.

I got my RiverDale Shirt in the mail today. It has Thomas Pitilli's picture on it. With the word RiverDale on it. I plan to wear it every Wednesday night for Season #2 of RiverDale. I also got Archie #21 too.

Long day. My coworker who is in my department called out so it was just me. My manager put a person from the stock room on the floor. So thatcwas helpful. I had to do recovery from the front end and fitting room, clean and straighten womens department, and do price checks all night.

I colored 2 pages in the Archie Coloring Book. I did do 2 workouts. My mom & I went to Boston Market for supper. It was such a good meal & then we to Food Town. I need breakfast food. I also bought 2 bananas & Red grapes.

I been so busy but as i do not work my morning job anymore i can sleep in for once

I have been coloring , the Archie Coloring Book. I only have do 5 more to fill my wall.

More annoyance from my job. But i got a break today so that makes me happy!

I went to the Pharmacy this morning & I went to the library. Their handicapped door was broken. I had to wait until someone was going in. I got 2 books out. And then I made copies of those Archie pages. And then I was leaving someone had to help me out.  I was able to do two workouts.

Im going to my sisters graduation later on so right now im just chilling until we leave

 I had to call Verizon. Our tv has no sound. A repair man is supposed to come tomorrow.  So tomorrow is going be a long day. I can work out & color in the mean time.

My aide & I had to wait around for The Verizon Repair Man. But surprisingly he came at 1:00 pm. He fixed now we have sound. But before he came I did 2 workouts. I colored too. And after my aide left I did another workout.

My aide & I went to Target today. Their elevator really wasn't working right. I was worried.  But I keep my fingers crossed. I didn't see any digests, their magazine area was a mess. I only bought 2 deodorants & a soda. I did return 2 books.

Work was terrible today. I start at 5pm. The store closes at 9:30pm. We got out at 11pm. The store was clean this is nuts. I want to call out but i got no sick hours to recieve pay. Bummer

It's too hot to color, I only colored 1 page. But I made more copies of ones I like before I color them. We had to go to Food Town. And I bought home a plain slice for my mom & a square slice for me.

I tried calling put of work tonight. No manager answered so i was thinking "i guess i have to go in then". Well i dont know what manager put me down as called out because nobody answered but they claim somebody did. How in the world? I felt like i was hearing elevator music gor 5 minutes. :/

Now my cramp in my leg got worse

It was so hot again. I only did one workout. I read some comics & graphic novels & library books. I colored 2 pages. I have made copies of my favorite pages. I can finish the one where Betty is a mermaid. I wish they had Fiona Staples page of both B & V as mermaids to color.

Today is another work day. I work from 4pm to 8:45pm. I did some laundry in the morning at my mom made english muffin pizzas. Now i am relaxing before work.

I slept late today. I got up at 10:30 am, I did my first workout early because my brother is coming over. I was able to finish the page I was coloring last night. My mom went to feed Archie , the stray cat she has been taking care of. My brother came over. He went on the computer while I coloring another page. Then I did my 2nd workout. We probably get pizza for supper.

Long day at work. Busy busy busy. Tomorrow I go to Queens and Jersey City with the boyfriend. Lots of fun is going to be had plus no work after 5 days.

I cleaned up the kitchen this morning so that was my morning workout. I threw away recycling & then I went to the library. I printed out some other pages that I could color. Plus I made copies of them. I got package of  Prismacolor Verithin Colored Pencils, Assorted Colors, 12-Count. Which I'm saving. And I colored with other pencils that I had.

I lifted weights for 30 minutes this morning to a playlist I made of the Gorillaz. I colored a page I printed out , it was cover that J. Scott Campbell did of B & V #1. I finished it & put it in one of my comic frames.

My mom did a bbq for her, my dad, and me. My sisters aren't home. I went to lowes with my mom. My dad and I watched Space Jam and then Looney Tunes. I also watched Vlogaftercollege on youtube. My mom made refried beans with dinner but I do not recommend the Dollar Tree kind.


Tomorrow it is back to work for me but i might go to the gym in the morning.

Day off from work. I am happy. I might go somewhere soon i am not 100% sure. Maybe see a movie

I am relaxing. I am home alone tonight. My dad is at his house. My sister is sleeping iver her friends. My mom and other sister are with my godfather in Ohio (my mom took my sister to split the driving)


Gonna feed the baby kitten after i type this and I might go to bed soon because I'm getting more tired.

I had a lazy day. I only did one workout because it was so hot. I colored 2 pages but they weren't Archie Coloring Book pages, they were actually 2 Fiona Staples pages. Nothing was on tv tonight. Tomorrow My 600 Pound Life is on Channel 161 at 6:00 pm.

I had a busy day. I went to the library & returned 2 books & I got one out. I printed some coloring pages . Not the ones from the book. On Amazon I bought more PrismaColor Premier Pencils. I actually open of the PrismaColors pencils because I wanted to see if my sharper was good for them. And it was good. I colored one with them but I'll finish the page tomorrow.

I went to the library  to print some cool pages to color, you'll have to wait to see the finshed product

Today is a sad day. My sisters baby kitten named Salem who she named after the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch plus the town in Massachutes has passed away due to Fading Kitten Syndrome which is when the mama cat abandons the sick kitten when they know something is wrong with her/him. We did the best we could taking care of him. My sister found him along the side of a road


R.I.P Salem 5 weeks old :'(


I also went to Atlantic City on Monday and came back Wednesday with my boyfriend. Looking to go back very soon ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear that your kitten. I'm a cat person. My cats were Rocky & Kitty. Both of them died in 1998. I had Tommy & Dusty both died about 3 years ago . We have their ashes up on a shelf. All girls Now we have Lucky & Princess & Kelly & Morgan & Wendy & Rose & Betty. We gave Betty to my brother so he has 2, a boy named Slash.

Thank you BettyReggie :)


We have two cats still Pepper and Sparky with two dogs  Brownie and Harlee. Salem was a special little kitty who I will never forget in the 3 weeks I knew her❤️❤️❤️

If you download the Mcdonalds app you get a free icecream cone only for today. Im goingto see if i can go :)

Did a good workout at the gym. Burned 239 calories and used the leg machines. Now going home to relax until 3:30pm before work.

My mom & I went to The Mall At Bay Plaza. I got the TV guide with Riverdale on the cover. It was $7.19 cents. Boy was that expensive. They had it at Kmart. At mall we ate Nathan's for lunch. What a belly sinker. At Hot Topic, They only had one Riverdale shirt. It was the one that looked like a football jersey.  I did buy Pusheen Coloring Book. We also went to Bath & Body Works. We got a few pump soaps.                               

I preorder these from Midtown Comics just now.

How is that mall BettyReggie? My boyfriend and I been talking about paying that mall a visit when we have free time

It's great. They have Nathan's but that's they only food there we like. They have Hot Topic . I only bought a coloring book. The only Riverdale shirt that they had the one that looked a football jersey . They also have bath & body works.

Nice :) I'm hoping to go before summers over. The Staten Island Mall closed down Nathans and Kmart which had Nathans inside also closed down so that would be a treat to get.

Not much is being done today. I just have work. 4 more days until I get a day off.

It was really too hot to do anything today. I only did one workout. I colored 3 pages. My brother came over. I bought a espoide of Suite Life On Deck.

I played the lotto today . Because my cousin Megan had a baby boy named Luke. I played the time he was born 938 & his weight 6 pounds & 10 ounces. My aide & I also went to the library.

Today i am in the fitting room at work. Pretty cool to get a break from running around on the floor. Time to go back in 3 minutes though

I did my workout this morning.  I colored a picture of Joe Eisma's but I have to finish it. I wore my Riverdale shirt out today. We went to Walgreens.  I got a few things. I got a silician slice for supper. I bought a slice home for mom. Then we went to the library.

I printed some pages to color. My aide & I went to target & McDonald's. My Archie Meets Ramones shirt came. I took pictures of me in it.

I didnt do much today. I watched some television and went to Mcdonalds for lunch. I started work at 5:15pm. Now I am on my break but I have to go back in 5 minutes

I went golfing with a few friends this morning around 7:30.  We ended up playing 27 holes and had a good time, but I think I'll stick to 18 holes in the future since 27 seemed a bit much.

Today I go back to work for the 5pm shift. I am hoping to get morning hours.

Last night I was sick. But I still feel sick today. It was something I ate last night.  I'm not really up to doing my workout today. I did color a page of Veronica Fish before

The High School where I work had its formal, lovely to see the students dressed up and lots of dancing.

I read library books & I colored a page that Erica Henderson did for Jughead. I lifted weights for 30 minutes as my workout.

About to start work.

I haven't written too much on this thread but I will start again. I'm still waiting for 2 sets of Prisma Pencils. I hope they come today. I have coloring more than reading anything. But last night I read The Archies One Shot.

I am headed to a funeral this week. My godfather passed away on Monday :(


In a long car ride 11 hours

I went to a comic book store and got a bunch of comics. 2 Reggie & Me, 1 Betty and Veronica, 1 That Wilkin Boy, 1 Archie Andrews Where Are You? Double Digest, 1 Archie and Me


Basically i got 7 comics for like $17. The That Wilkin Boy comic was only $1.10 (not the best condition i think since it was cheap but I'm going to inspect it later). Couldnt pass that amazing price up.

📚 📕 📚 📕 What comic book store was it?

I did my workout this morning. I was sweating like a pig. My brother is coming over. He wants to go to Bob's. He wants to look at the dressers. I have a coupon for Boston Market. Buy one meal & a drink & get one free. My mouth is watering already.

In the middle of the night I put my 11 commissions up on the wall. But I also put Archie #23- Thomas Pitilli's is sure right next the commission he did of Reggie for me. So this means as soon as I'm done coloring 12 pictures I'll hang my art work up again. I'm going watch Riverdale . I charged the DVD player last night.

Today i had breakfast at Tim Hortons. I went to my job and brought 2 sweaters with the 20% off coupon I had. Next weekend is also 20% off weekend for everyone who works there so i will get more clothes for the fall/winter. My clothes are getting too old looking time to update

It looks like going rain in The BRONX. I have plenty of things to do. I can watch RIVERDALE with my new dvd player. I open my prisma pencils yesterday so I will color. Plus I will workout.

I worked from 9:30am to 5pm. It was a crazy day. I am glad I am home. I almost missed my bus because if rush hour traffic. I also got caught in the rain walking to Wendys in my 45 minute break. My boyfriend and I planned how we will celebrate one year being together. We decided to take a trip to Philadelphia. Super excited.

I have not been doing much of nothing lately because I have a terrible rash. That's what we think it is. I tried coloring but this rash has affected my hands & arms & face. I do have get back to reading which I really kind of gave up on.

Tomorrow i will be posting NEW YORK COMIC CON photos as I get them. I am grateful i get to see things because of my boyfriend. I also cannot wait to see what Archie Comics and Funko Pop goodies he brings back for me. Im very excited but I gave to wait until 7pm or a bit before 7 to recieve my items.

My brother came over. I had 1 slice of little Ceaser for lunch. I colored 4 pages over the weekend. I did my exercises while my brother played with our cat Lucky.
I put the 4 pages that I colored in my comic frames before going to bed.

I went to work today. Boy it was a mess. Customers are nasty its like they have no regard for us workers cleaning. I cleaned Juniors, Juniors Clearence, Activewear and Womens Clearence like 10 times in 4 hours. Its not fair to us sales associates

Not much had been done today. Went to Home Depot to get a replacement filter. Had Mcdonalds for lunch. Went to the supermarket because my dad wanted to buy Diet Coke. My NYS Board of Elections check came so yay extra cash for hanging up signs and sitting all day.


Now I am home waiting for Jeopardy at 7pm. I had 2 slices of pizza for dinner. Going to read Reggie and Me later. It is the book I got from comiccon.
