May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month-cover up

This is a review and we received the clothing for that purpose. All thoughts are our own and true yo. That title sounds kind of preachy, the whole ‘cover up’ thing. The only reason that I can say it with a straight face is that I had Melanoma and it’s frightening. Woah, you mean I have Cancer, it’s in my skin- has the ability to travel to my organs and this is the deadliest form of Cancer around? They were some of the thoughts that I had that day when I was diagnosed.

What does God stand on in the clouds?

“What does God stand on in the clouds?” he asked from the back seat. It’s been a cavalcade of great questions, sometimes ill-timed mind you, but Jake has been a fountain of curiosity and laughs lately. It was a fabulous spring day with massive white puffy clouds and we were driving past a church, so that could’ve been the visual cue that prompted this.

Gorillas In Our Midst: big plans, average outcome

The biggest thing you’ll immediately notice about Gorillas In Our Midst is its size. This is one big book. It’s so much larger than other children’s books that you’ll subconsciously assume that it’s that much better. Gorillas In Our Midst is the story of a young boy who is trying to convince people that gorillas are everywhere, hiding in plain sight.

New All Age Comic Comic Books for May 20, 2015

This is a great week for all age comic books because it marks the return of two classics, a camp classic, a modern classic and lots of new comics for young readers. Our favorite book of the week is Simpson’s Summer Shindig, closely followed by Peanuts, Usagi Yojimbo and Lumberjanes.

The two classics this week are Donald Duck #1 and Pogo. An argument could be made for Groo: Friends and Foes as being the classic (and if you grew up with Mad Magazine-then yes it is), but that’s a post for another day. Lumberjanes is a great book that will appeal more to young girls than boys and #14 from that great series comes out this week.

There is also the camp classic Saved By The Bell coming to tradepaper back with updated adventures from Bayside’s most timeless.

The links will take you to Things From Another World where you’ll save a big % on any order. If you need to get to your local comic book store now just follow the link and you’ll get there.

Slam Dunk, classic Japanese anime comes to DVD

I lived in Japan when Slam Dunk was on television there.* That’s something I mention because I remember what a big deal it was in its heyday. The manga sold hundreds of millions of copies, there were a couple movies made with the characters and the show is credited with starting the rise of basketball as a sport and cultural relevance over there. Slam Dunk is the story about a middle school kid whose height makes him a natural for basketball.

As part of the #MoDSquad for Father’s Day, this is what #Imbornto

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and really, this organization is so easy to support. Read the later hashtag again, except this time, say it aloud. #Imbornto, that’s a heavy line isn’t it? It kind of reminds you of the last line Tom Hanks said in Saving Private Ryan. For the record it was “Earn this” and for me it was more motivational than sad. March of Dimes has partnered with The Motherhood this Father’s Day to spread awareness, raise some money this Father’s Day season and be thankful.

The Phillips Norelco Shaver 9000 cuts close, quick and charges fast

I shave my head. It’s relevant to state that because it makes me shave my face more than I would like. For a while I tried shaving the head and letting the facial hair grow out. However, that look was not for me and it didn’t last long. We were offered the chance to review the Philips Norelco Shaver 9000. Normally we use an electric razor, except for those special occasions and were eager to try a new, cutting edge razor.
