How strange it is for me to realize that I was introduced to real life only after leaving home to attend college out of state.</p> <p>As I come here and read through the forums, I'm seeing reality clearer.</p> | eddstarr | Mar 18, 2023 |  |

| 49699 | The Café | <p>Sorry to hear that Vaporman. I know that kind of stuff can be rough. I remember feeling similiar things when I had to go through my mom's hoarding pile a few years ago. It brings up a lot of stuff you have to confront.</p> <p>It is good that you are feeling better though. </p> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Mar 17, 2023 | |
| 49698 | The Café | <p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">funny I should mention my own family, my stepdad's side seems to have mental problems ranging from bipolar issues to dementia, because of them I barely even sign onto facebook anymore. I took my own path in life to just ignore the people that spread hate, and just enjoy things on my own terms.</span></p> | Benjanime | Mar 15, 2023 | |

| 49695 | Winnie the Pooh gets a new film but I wouldn't advise you to take the kids to see it. | <p>So, it's sort of a "Take it or leave it." kinda movie?</p> | Mr Magic | Mar 09, 2023 | |
| 49694 | Celebrity Encounters | <p>I knew Caps would have some good ones!</p> <p>My brother and I are big Starship Troopers fans and we went to a small con in New Mexico which featured Casper Van Dien. What's cool was that it was a small panel so we got to ask Casper lots of questions about the making of Starship Troopers. Afterwards, at a (paid) signing, we got to talk with him personally for what seemed like an extended amount of time. He signed my brother's laser disc and posed for some pictures with the iconic "kill em all" phrase. </p> | echidna64 | Mar 09, 2023 | |
| 49693 | Celebrity Encounters | <p>Most of my encounters with any celebs have been at cons. Though I did approach Larry Kenney in a hotel lobby to thank him for always providing free voice-overs when I asked. Such a great guy.</p> <p>And one time in Virginia, on the beach, Terry O'Quinn said hello to us as he walked by. At first we didn't recognize him, just thought he was another tourist being friendly. Then we looked at each other like,"wait... was that?" Sure enough we discovered he'd been living there.</p> | Vaporman87 | Mar 09, 2023 | |
| 49692 | Celebrity Encounters | <p> </p> <p>I met the boxer Butterbean at a restaurant while vacationing in Florida. I met Dave Batista at a WWE event. Met Ric Flair at Wal-Mart. Matt Hardy the wrestler acknowledged me at the same WWE event if that counts. </p> | Mr Magic | Mar 09, 2023 | |
