I found an old Lego round canister that's about 15/20 inches tall from the 50's or 60's that was more than half filled with Lego's from that era.

The only thing it's missing is the lid. It's very cool to see the old style packaging that companies no longer use.

Today you get everything in cheap flimsy boxes but not back then. This is pure sheet metal and has lasted through 4 or 5 decades.

I don't 'remember' American Bricks--I say so because they were not in manufacture at the time of my first acquaintance with them. However, I am familiar with them. My mom has a shoebox full of the original American Bricks, which were made of pressed cardboard (uncorrugated). The windows and doors and roofing tiles were the same plastic construction used in the more recent sets.

How did I go so long without seeing this thread? Legos are so awesome! Not only can you build the toy on the box but you can build an infinite amount of others with the pieces. Your only limited by your amagination. But damn have they become pricey over the years. Im a huge Star Wars nut as most of you know and the Star Wars Lego sets cost a small fortune.

    • I'm sorry they suck so hard.  I'm also sorry to say that it's very likely because of how you look with all the tattoos, piercings, garb, and whatnot.  They probably thought you were there for drugs especially if there isn't anything obviously wrong (and if there was something obviously wrong like a lead pipe sticking out of your leg they might think you did that to yourself just to get drugs.) But admittedly they're a bit jaded because SO MANY people do go actually just trying to score drugs. My mother was in constant pain the last ten years of her life, and even more when the cancer showed up.  She said it was the worst pain of her life.   Pain management is a fucking joke that just isn't  and never has been funny, but they keep telling it anyway. They also can tend to be super judgy on top of the general distrust because it's a religious hospital network.  I think we're lucky they're not still trying to use leeches at this point.     You should have sued their asses.  At least it didn't diminish her quality of life longterm.   Doctors are arrogant assholes too and think that the patient doesn't know shit.  While I admit that not having seven years of medical training doesn't make us regular plebs as qualified, no one knows what's going on with the patients own body quite like the patient.  The patient (or guardian) should always be informed and involved with what their medical team is doing.   There needs to be some type of legal medical bracelet that basically says "this person has a guardian and if you do anything without their  consent they will sue the everloving shit out of you."     All that said, I should probably go see someone about this blood I'm shitting.  But I really don't want to deal with them that much (also the lack of medical insurance doesn't help either.) On the plus side if I do die then it's not my problem anymore so I don't have to worry about it!

    • ~~~~~ We received a letter about that a bit ago.  I know Corewell Health was included in the cyber attach as they were transitioning over from Beaumont Heath.
    • Excellent idea, since between your experience and Trene and Tron's ordeal they clearly aren't doing great things.   Also didn't Ascension just have a huge breach of their medical records because their cybersecurity department sucked?
