No matter how trivial you might think it, others often find such things vicariously
enjoyable. Even if your post seems inconsequential to you, it's often not

Some of the best reads here over the years for me, have been the more personable

it was called "BrickBay". Dan (the founder and owner) got a cease letter from
eBay, they argued that the ***Bay infringed on their name. Dan, myself, and a
few others snapped us a few website names to use. Among the ones I bought was
Brickbuy. After deliberation, Dan decided on Bricklink, so I simply kept Brickbuy.
My original user name was "Owings" named after the town I used to live in. Since
I just moved, I dropped my username, and took Brickbuy as my username. I maintained
Brickbuy.com, just as a link to bricklink for about a decade or so, a few years
ago I sold the domain to a European real estate company (probably my best "sale"
related to bricklink...), but kept my username.
My Store name: In ~2000, I was trying to complete some sets from my childhood
collection and always just seem to mss a brick. Hence, "missing brick" refers
to the need to complete a set. When I needed to choose a store name, I went with
that. I am a builder, seller, and collector of LEGO. I have pretty much a complete
collection of all castle sets, all train sets, all collectible minifigs, and
all SW and castle figs. I also collect postage stamps (since I was young), mainly
from my native Netherlands. If anyone need stamps from the Netherlands, I'm
pretty sure I have what you are looking for....
ID card: pretty much stems from my main interest initially for all LEGO trains,
so the first LEGO train figure seemed like a good choice.

Enjoyable read. Thanks, Paul!
My entire time here on BL, I've viewed you as one of the site’s anchors,
still do. You, Carol and a few others are among those I’ve tried to emulate as
a fledgling BL store some 15 years ago.
But it’s the activities beyond BL involving Lego and otherwise, that are spectacular.
I won’t blab about them here, don’t know if you’d appreciate that or not. Nonetheless,
this offers some idea to others of what I’m referring to: https://youtu.be/TqQJSneam6U

Love cats. Love portmanteaus. It occurred to me spontaneously while trying to
think of a name on the spot, and I loved it, especially the three different primary
pronunciations -- BRICK-it-y, bri-KITT-y, and BRICK KITTY. (I love all three
but generally lean towards the first, like the word "rickety".) Checked it out
and no one had taken it. My partner designed the logo in Photoshop, but awhile
ago a generous and talented user on BL built the cat with real bricks, took a
picture for me, and gave me free use of it, so that logo will be going up in
the next few weeks.
Also, "kitty" is my principle pet name with my partner, going both ways. So there's
some special significance there. It's one of the most positive words in our
lives.

| I’ve read in another forum thread that the bag assortment can change more frequently
than the inventories but I don’t know how much of it is true. At least in sets
with numbered bags it seems that each bag is tied to a separate part of the instructions
so it should be consistent between sets.
I’ve actually needed this feature recently as I found unopened parts bags in
a bulk LEGO bin I got off Craigslist, without it I ended up opening the bags
to inventory them, either to sell as New Incomplete or to complete the set and
sell it as Used.

I have an opportunity to test how I would do this as I am parting out a couple
sets and will be taking the time to inventory the bags as I part them out.

It would add to the initial work, but I would love it. People sell individual
bags on eBay and it is hard to tell what they are worth. It would be a commercial
and scholastic opportunity for Bricklink and it would also get us around the
timeout problem on big, big sets. You would just part out 6 bags at a time.

If you are not sure it is Playmobil, you can check it on Playmodb.org. It is
a database like BrickLink, but it is a reference only site. I don't know
if this helps?

he's picked-up on his travels during the week. But I don't/can't
consume much myself, nor does he for that matter. Just a couple of lightweights
in that regard.
Like everything else he does, he reads-up extensively, immerses himself into
the subject. Whiskey is his newest interest. Once a week (sometimes we'll
miss a week) we break out the Glencairn whiskey tasting glasses and sample the
latest of his finds, and talk. It's something that I look forward to very
much, both the talking and the whiskey but mostly what he has to share.
My son is one of those exceptionally intelligent guys, that enjoys a conversation.
He's also a voracious reader, mostly books on the classics and military history.
So not only do I get to sample some good whiskeys, but get to learn more about

watching wood ants on their mounds and many more things.
Only ever watched nature programmes to see the Cicadas, not an event you'll
see too often in a lifetime.
I think the most annoying and spectacular thing we see is the mass of flying
ants once a year as they leave to start new colonies.

I am in this group. I am always fascinated by the little things around me when
I go on walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, canoeing, camping, etc. Not only does
the wildlife intrigue me, but every type of plant, fungus, etc. Right now, the
17-year cicadas are out in my part of Ohio ("Brood X" as it is known). The last
time they were here, I had just moved into my first home at 28 and had no kids.
Now, my life could not be more different than it was then. The sound is deafening
and overly irritating, but the whole cicada life cycle and observing them above
ground just fascinates me. They are cute in a weird sort of way.
I love spending time in the outdoors as much as my LEGO!

| I told you I was an odd one, never ever liked Whisky/Whiskey or most strong
alcoholic spirits, just don't like the taste.
Drank Vodka a lot whilst in my late teens and early twenties but lost any interest
after too many hangovers, now I can't tolerate it at all.
Never liked anything that tastes earthy/peaty whether that's malt, beers
or those dreadful cheap wines we had in the 70's/80's here in the U.K.
My sweet tooth doesn't help, not a fan of anything too dry.

I think we're all born with a strong sense of wonderment and awe of the world
around us, that stays with us but get's push to the back of our minds as
we take on the struggles of life.
But as we age our thoughts become more disciplined and prioritized, allowing
us to see and "appreciate the world around us" again. Or it could just be the
ever-increasing realization that comes with age, that life is finite, renewing
our perspective and appreciation?
