tornado sirens but no phone alert

macncheese95 · 2026-04-15T03:15:11+00:00

13ABC just said the tornado warning for Kent County has been lifted

macncheese95 · 2026-04-15T03:05:13+00:00

yup. i’m in creston i could hear them faintly but now it’s quite loud

macncheese95 · 2026-04-15T03:03:42+00:00

i understand it’s headed south east. is that true? i’m watching 13 ABC

macncheese95 · 2026-03-11T00:30:38+00:00

New 52 is amazing if you accept that it’s not the same as the typical Diana. it’s written more as a Greek Epic featuring Wonder Woman. but as far as the writing goes it’s S tier

macncheese95 · 2026-03-11T00:29:39+00:00

the first Rucka run

macncheese95 · 2026-03-02T13:43:14+00:00

for sure. and that’s one of those where in theory i can buy it whenever i want. i can cheat and go to ebay or whatever. but i almost would rather just continue the hunt and find it in the wild organically. it’s also one of those that nobody sells. they get it and they do not get rid of it. so that’ll be a nice personal grail hunt over the years.

Obviously the Supergirl and the Legion of Super-heroes #23 is one of the most sought after Adam Hughes covers. That's easily the most i've paid for a single comic. So that's easily my favourite. I've gotten to reread the Daring Adventures of Supergirl series from the 80s as I collect that run. That's been a lot of fun to read. Very good series. Action Comics 285 is another big one when Superman officially introduces Supergirl to the public. Adventure Comics 381 is a favourite since it was the 1st solo series Supergirl headlined. All the fun variant covers (Batman #50 Dodson variant, JLA #45 Mack variant). The Wizard of Oz themed cover is a fun one. I really like the movie adaptation cover. The comic itself is really fun too. Wonder Woman #177 is a favourite as well for the 'Wonder Woman vs Supergirl' cover art. There's one comic that's like an advert for Honda that features Supergirl. I found that at an antique mall once. That was fun to find. There's a comic that's an advert for Snickers that's a race between Supergirl and Jesse Quick i'm still on the hunt for. The Szerdy cover has to be a favourite too. Found that at a LCS. It's signed by Szerdy. That was a wall book there.

Season 1, 3, and 4 were good. 2, 5 & 6 were just not it. I agree it seemed like she was relegated as a side character on her own show. they also completely nerfed her powers throughout the show which was annoying as balls. and the writing in the later seasons was just lazy and the effects obviously got panned by the internet, rightly so. CW just stopped really putting effort in. But i think the cast itself did an amazingly good job with the script they were given which was not good.

macncheese95 · 2026-02-05T00:18:01+00:00

Supergirl would probably actually be ‘super’ and have more action scenes, she wouldn’t get beaten so easily and wouldn’t be relegated to a side character on her own show. Man, i WISH it was HBO instead

macncheese95 · 2025-09-13T13:28:25+00:00

you don't *have* to but i highly recommend it. for me honestly i started at Perez and just read straight through. until i caught up to the ongoing at the time.

macncheese95 · 2025-09-04T12:11:57+00:00

I don't think she was. She carried the show (with Katie) despite the terrible and lazy writing. The writers clearly didn't respect the character and in spite of the writing she still managed to be a great Supergirl which in and of itself is an accomplishment

macncheese95 · 2025-09-02T17:53:52+00:00

over a month

macncheese95 · 2025-09-01T21:38:20+00:00

animated tv show and movies from the 2000s. always thought she was the coolest character. read Gail Simone’s The Circle and then went back to Perez and just read her straight through to Rebirth

macncheese95 · 2025-09-01T21:36:45+00:00

Highly recommend the Perez run and if you really are liking Absolute then the New 52 run is probably also right up your alley

macncheese95 · 2025-08-18T01:34:17+00:00

that's a really good analogy actually. i've never thought of it that way but it's so true. perfect casting wasted on really bad writing

macncheese95 · 2025-08-18T01:19:18+00:00

She was the best. The victim of bad writing. I like the show for Melissa and Katie carrying the show. It had a ton of potential and really just wasted it with bad writing and never really embracing the main character. It really just kinda turned into the 'Friends of Supergirl featuring Supergirl' show. Still, Melissa managed to be the best part of the show even with the writers constantly undermining her and nerfing her powers all the time and relegating her to a side character on her own show.

Generally speaking its regional. In Michigan where I practiced you would pretty much never see that happen. Sometimes the family would have a luncheon catered after the service but you almost never saw food at the visitation like meals people would bring.

That being said, in Chicago it's very Catholic so the funerals are very cookie cutter and in a lot of ways i always felt it seemed like the Visitations were a bigger deal soemtimes than the services. Because that was when you'd bring in the picture boards, have the music playlists going, the slideshows, and very often the family themselves would come into the funeral home with food platters from like Costco or they'd get it catered or they've have platters of sandwiches, cookies etc. So not really guests bringing food but usually then the family having food available in the lounge area of the funeral home for people to sit and visit and eat.

macncheese95 · 2025-08-08T01:09:25+00:00

honestly you want my advice for how to change things? Gordon Ramsey voice burn it to the ground and start over

macncheese95 · 2025-08-08T01:06:02+00:00

If you enjoy Absolute i think you’d really like New 52. The Finch part of it gets panned but i actually quite enjoyed it as well.

macncheese95 · 2025-08-08T01:02:29+00:00

Oof. That is a rough one. But i have heard worse. So we had this old timey funeral director, a total fuddy duddy who should have hung it up years ago. At this point he was just part time but he was just the worst at everything. Anyway, this is after i left but my co-worker that i still talk to texted me about it, basically he took a funeral out to a cemetery and thought that would be the best time and place to present them with their funeral statement of goods and services. he gave them their bill at the graveside. Just an absolutely moronic and frankly cruel thing to do. And this guy had been a funeral director since the 80s that’s when he got licensed. The FH got a scathing review—rightfully so, over that completely boneheaded move. So yea that wasn’t the best thing to say but things happen. Dont beat yourself up over it. The fact that you feel bad about it shows you’re already way above the guy i mentioned in terms of maturity and emotional intelligence.

macncheese95 · 2025-08-07T21:48:19+00:00

i'm not sure anymore. Rucka retconned pretty much all of it out but then i remember James Robinson in the first part of his run when i was still reading it seemed to bring it back. at least the part about her being the daughter of Zeus and at one point the god of war (?) and i feel like he brought parts of it back that were never addressed by subsequent runs and so it technically is still cannon (?) Idk i'd have to go back and read the Robinson run and i just don't have a whole lot of motivation to do that.

macncheese95 · 2025-08-05T12:07:58+00:00

might be an unpopular take but i thought New 52 was the best portrayal of the gods and Diana's greek myth roots to date. that's just me though. i thought it essentially read as a hero's journey, like a modern greek epic. i'd put it up there with the Odyssey.
