    I'm so happy that Adam has reached the point where he can laugh at the memories. It's a good place to be, but takes time. I still have a box of my brother stuff who passed 12 years ago that I go through from time to time. Fluxuates from joy to a gut punch.

    I was looking for something to watch with my kids recently and found Mythbusters on Max. My children are 7 and 5. It’s not always kid friendly, but most of the episodes are fine. In any case, they were into it immediately. We jumped around in the seasons some, and at one point we were watching some of the earliest episodes. My daughter noticed Grant wasn’t in it and asked if we could watch more episodes with him. It really was a special show and Grant was great. I hope this sale goes well. Best,

    4:49 As a side note, from working at a pharmacy for many years, another kind of zip-lock bags that are wonderful are those used with hazardous waste.
    I unfortunately don't remember where exactly they came from, but they had an impressive seal, were astoundingly tough, and came in 3 different sizes to accommodate most any item we needed to ship out. Small were approx. 6" X 4", medium were approx. 12" X 8", and the largest ones were about the size that you were holding on here.
    There was several times over the years where it was a bit difficult to open those bad boys when sealed!😂

      Back when I was a cashier, one of my friends was a supervisor where I worked and he had a great sense of humor. We also had the small yellow "Hazardous Materials" bags for Rx use, and I remember one night we both closed there was an exceptionally horrid smelling bill that got put into one of our registers. No one up front really noticed it, but he sure did when closing out and counting the register.
      Well, right before wrapping the store up he called me back to the office to show me the yellow bag sealed and taped up, masking tape on the front of it saying something like "DO NOT OPEN," with the faint silhouette of a bill behind it when put up to the light. I think he said something along the lines of "Yeah, this one was so bad, they're gonna probably burn it at the bank..." 😂
      I've had bills come through that were beat up to hell, some with makeup on them, some with blood (assumedly) on them, all that nonsense, but the occasional _rank_ ones were always unpleasant.

    Adam, I can't tell you how much Mythbusters helped me in the early 00's. I was dealing with my son being born premature. I spent a lot, and I mean A LOT, of time in the hospital to be there for him and his mother. I spent more nights than I can remember sleeping in chairs in the atrium, watching Mythbusters as I'd fall asleep. It was so calming to watch and listen to the science, the narrator, as well as you and Jamie, explaining things for the show.
    You helped keep me sane. Thanks.

    I wish they would have handled that myth with a certain measure of Western vs Japanese sword competitiveness. Like Tori gets a historically accurate Italian sword and Kari gets like an English/Scottish claymore or something and it's handled a bit tongue in cheek. I never got the "does the dog like Italian? " when Tori was going to get his arm bit by the police dog until I was older. I always liked stuff like that which gives the show tons of replay value when you're an adult.
