Re: My Prop Replica Collection - *New Arrival* V (1984 TV Series) & Harry Potter..
Aloha all.. Sorry I haven't been around for past three months.. At the end of June, my missus walked out on me with our son, so haven't been in the mood to socialize etc.. Actually, the night she walked out, started because I made a white lie about buying a prop..
I told her I wanted to use some of my tax refund, to buy a replica I was looking at.. She started arguing about it, and it went on from there, to the point she left and didn't come back.. What was the white lie?? I lied about wanting to use part of my tax refund to buy a prop, when in fact, was going to use it as a deposit for a wedding ring, then use term deposit interest, to pay it off.. I was going to surprise her on her birthday in August, to tell her that we were going to get married in January, when we went away for the family holiday..
So, let that be a lesson for you guys.. Even if you think you are doing the right thing, and trying to surprise your partner; DON'T!! I've tried talking to her, to come back, to go to couple counseling etc, but she won't.. So have lost my partner/best friend and my son.. I get to have my son for about three days / two nights a week, but it's not the same as him being here.. It's hard, as he never went 24 hours without me.. But, what is done is done..
Another reason I haven't been around, is $$ of course.. Now things are harder, and don't have the $$ to spend, and this place is definitely to costly for me..
But, now for the good news.. The other day, I received my Indiana Jones
"Cairo" Bullwhip from Crease N Corral, which was made by Dusty.. So here are some pics of the unboxing, on the display:
And with my son, Kal-El, wanting to be Indy:
Oh, and the whip came with a heap of styrofoam, he grabbed a few handfuls, and put some on the lounge.. I thought he was just making a mess as usual, but then he grabbed a heap of
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back figures, and made a little diorama of a
Hoth scene with them.. It was cute, and made me laugh.. It’s heartwarming, to know that he is so much like me..
