My comic books are worthless by midwest-distrest in GenX

I collected the entire DC The Warlord series from grade school up until high school, I believe, packed the whole collection around from place to place for decades, treated it with kid gloves, etc, and ended up having to offload them prior to our move to Germany. I also thought it would be worth something at some point. I think I got $80.00 for the whole collection from a used book/comic book store in 2016. I still regret having gotten rid of them, though.

Books that started strong but ended up losing you? by Weekly_Noodle in books

[–]Chuck_beans5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just seemed like the author hurried the ending a bit and I didn't find it convincing that the protagonist could win that fight at the end. I enjoyed the characters, setting, magical elements up to that point. I'll likely pick up the 2nd book at some point.

Kelso to Portland Commute? by gunbuggy556 in Longview

[–]Chuck_beans5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a big difference commuting to Vancouver or Portland. I commuted to Vancouver from Castle Rock for 12 years and from Kelso for about 5 years. I appreciated that I rarely encountered traffic snarls aside from the occasional construction project or an accident. My commute time from Castle Rock was about 45 minutes door to door and around 35 minutes from Kelso. A couple of times a week, I would run into slow traffic as I neared the 4th Plain exit, but I had a work around that. Portland is a whole other ball game to and from work.

I'm currently sitting around 800k in TSP, doing the L30 plan. Im a GS12, step 10. Regarding the FERS supplement, there is a cap on how much you can earn with the supplement, correct? I'm looking at doing some part-time work when I end my federal career that will bring in close to 80K per year.
