Okay you guys, this isn’t doll related, but I’m an Old Woman™ and I’m finally hoping to get a smartphone. (Yes, in the year of 2019, I have still never had a smart phone.)

I was wondering if y’all had any recommendations for models/phone plans/wifi plans? I’m probably going to end up getting a Samsung product (I’m not too fond of Apple) but I don’t know much about models.

Any help is appreciated!!

So, I know I've been AWOL again (due to work and the fact that I'm STILL cleaning up my mess of a basement and organizing all my hobby stuff)... but, important question time! And, preface, so this doesn't sound creepy or invasive, I'm of course asking because I want to start preparing some ~*~*~special surprise shipments~*~*~ for people and I've put off asking some questions just....... because I didn't want to bother anyone..... And yeah, some of the surprise is lost because I'll be directly tagging people, but oh well!

@dolldirt If someone was to, conceptually, send you a bunch of Superstar Barbies, would you prefer to have them all on their original bodies, or would you want a bunch of floating heads?

@dollsahoy @queenofsquids @dolldirt @pandollop @sicktress (I KNOW I'm forgetting people.... sorry in advance!! My brain is fried from work. :( ) Do any of you guys have dietary restrictions, food sensitivites, or stuff that you just don't like that would make you prone to not wanting Japanese candies/snacks/chocolates to be, conceptually, snuck into packages that may, conceptually, be sent to you?

I'm not dead! Whoops, I was AWOL again because the last couple weeks of work have been crazy! I usually get 20-23 hours a week, but this week maxed out at a whopping 32 hours. They also snuck me into a different department today, which I'm hoping they.... don't do next week.

Me and my family also had the fun time of our water heater beaking and partially flooding our basement at the beginning of the week. Luckily the water didn't really ruin anything; I was scared to death when it happened, though! Hopefully this'll motivate me to finish cleaning up the tons of hobby related stuff I have laying around the basement, which is something I was already trying to do.

This is also motivating me to FINALLY get ready to send some packages I've been building up for people!!

I've also been putting a lot of time into getting stuff photographed for Ebay, which I'm finally trying to get back into doing after not really doing much for a few years.

Among other things, I need to post some dolly stuff I've been able to do, some cool Halloween realted finds... and I need to actually talk and message people again. ; __ ; I feel like such a turd, I've been so horrible with communication this year.......

HHHHHHhhhh

You guys I just found out that my Chandra from the outlet is from a ballet giftset and also realized how rare she is... all Chandras are?? Or are all the SiS dolls hard to find now? This is the only listing of her on Ebay. 

I was going to put her head on the musician body because honestly I love her face so much (the color match is just a little off but it’s not horrible)... but I can’t bear to do it now because even if I don’t break her neck it feels like I’m ripping $50+ in half. :/

I suppose I’ll just leave her on her body for now. I need to clean and untangle her hair. The tough part is going to be deciding to touch up her lips, since she has a little piece of her lipstick missing. I could just photoshop it out of any pictures of her, but seeing the chip will bug me in real life..

Man guys, I love her face paint though. I’m not sure when the last time was that I liked stock paint this much?

We got news on Dad's knee and stuff and honestly I'm just... crushed.

I'm so sad. I'm so tired. I'm frustrated, I'm angry, and I feel empty inside.

I'm angry at the doctors (ohhhh the doctors... they're a whole other story), the lawyers, the insurance company, the state, the boards, and of course his workplace.

He's crippled for life in his back and knee. No one cares. They say nothing can be done to his work place for their negligence. They can't be punished for having an unsafe work environment and ruining his life.

He'll probably get the equivalent of a year's worth of wages (or less) for all this. For an upcoming lifetime of pain and suffering. And we're a low income family, a year of wage isn't much. He can barely work anymore and he's suffered physically and mentally through this.

I don't know guys... I don't normally like to talk about stuff like this publicly, so I really had to convince myself to post this. I just feel... horrible.

I guess... there's no real justice in life.

I know this just sounds weird and tacked on, but if anyone wants to tell me about their dolls or send me a picture of their doll/dolls, I wouldn't mind. It'd help take my mind off this a little bit... plus I need some motivation to finish up... I was cleaning and sorting all my junk that's in the basement when we got news so now there's just a big mess sitting around and I don't feel like putting everything away.

I saw it this morning while I was half asleep, but I’m still in a mix of confusion, irritation, and amusement from seeing that I somehow made the anti-recast block list??? 

I can tell you right now that I’ve never ‘stalked or insulted’ pro-recast people because I’ve literally never been in a confrontation or any kind of exchange with any pro-recasters. :/ I guess this is semi-confirmation that if they see ‘anti-recast’ on your blog description they put you on the list? 

I don’t even get to reblog many anti-recast things (due to strong language being used the posts) and I’m not a ‘popular’ blogger, so??? I’m more puzzled and confused at how they singled little ‘ol me out?

Eh, but in the end, y’all, this is just funny.

Kind of makes me feel like going and sculpting stuff.

Heyo playline + BJD doll people! I was wondering if any of you had one of the 17″ Barbies and an MSD Unoa boy or knew of some comparison pictures with those two dolls together? 

I thought I remembered @buffdolls having a comparison photo with an Unoa but I either a) imagined it, or b) didn’t look enough??

I swear, if this person on Ebay (who asked me to wait literally a whole month for them to pay) doesn’t pay today, I’m going to suplex something. They were supposed to pay yesterday and I told them in our initial conversation that if they didn’t pay on the 29th I’d cancel the sale the next day and they agreed, insisting they’d pay on the 29th.

I’m so tired of Ebay buyers asking me to wait for my money after the fact.
