FINALLY DONE..I am not looking back either. It took months to fill my storage unit and only weeks to empty it. I called as many places and people as I could to help me get things out of there. Price was going up and I just could not see keeping things forever in there. My aches and pains are subsiding now from all the lifting. Looky who I found..still the same as the day it was purchased and the original hair. Someday may it bring me good luck. This one is from the 60's and now they sell all kinds but the older ones are much better. Oh I am amazed that there wasn't something terrible said about how they were unclothed and such.Today people are so strict about such things.
In the 60's WE dressed them and WE did their hair. When I researched it on E bay some are selling for a high price. Think I will hold on to mine for a while longer.
Recently I read an article that set me to thinking about my profile photo. I picked a photo I really liked from thousands on Google images. I have used it for years, but this article convinced me that it may be a good idea to use one of my own photos from now on.I sure didn't want to get sued for some image that I thought was FREE.So I know now that I what I would choose would be something that I could be sure would be MINE alone. So, I went about changing all my profile photos every place I could think of. There were more than I thought. So guess I will just use a sunset or some other photo I like from now on. You won't see the woman sitting on the beach anymore.
It has been terrible hot and humid here like most of the country right now. I fear this winter we will all be suffering the affects of this. Prices will be so much higher. Grab what you can cheap now ,stock up if you can. Wish I had a tank to buy gas cheap too and store it for wintertime. Twenty cent rise here in just one day. Just crazy!
Got news that someone in the extended family has end stage Leukemia, such a shock and sending prayers to the whole family. AND SO IT GOES ON...
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

I know how you are feeling Sis. it is so darn hard to part with things you have cherished all of your life.
prayers for the family member with leukemia.

I know what you mean about aches and pains from lifting...I never used to feel that much but now...well, I guess I'm not the teenager I once was. I remember selling my comic books and couldn't believe the restrictions on those things! Nothing is simple with collectors! Sorry to hear about your extended family illness. Good to hear from you my friend.
<3 xoxoxo
Sis, sorry about the family member and I will include them in my daily prayers.
It's good to be rid of things but it is hard. Beth sure knows that. You do as well. To a smaller extent so do I. It came to them or me. I had no space so I let the things that I knew I didn't look at, go.

Hugs to you, Carol, and prayers to your ill family member. Take good care of yourself; it's so hard to part with things, but I know how expensive those storage units can be.
Yeah, that Troll does look familiar! I still have my small box of collected "hair" people too---somewhere. I just can't part with them either. Sorry to hear about your sick relative and hope they can pull through this OK. Take care of yourself and enjoy the summer heat!
Thanks for the trip down troll memory lane. And yes, I remember those bug-eyed, pug-nosed, Einstein-coiffed rubber dolls of adorable ugliness!! I still see them kicking around on occasions. I think every generation had it's toy 'fad'. Amazing the hidden treasures we find when we are forced to clean up. Bwahaha!
I have always liked your profile pics. I just wish that one day you will bless us with a pic of that smile... a grin from ear to ear. So sorry to hear about your extended family's illness. Sending good vibes to you... so you can pass them on. Yes, it's hot and humid here too. We have had such a long period of the overly warm weather too. This weekend, it rained, which has helped a lot to cool things down. Today, my windows are wide open and there is a good cool breeze. Life is good for the moment and I hope that you can say the same.

Oh, I just loved those "wish-nicks" or "damn-it dolls". That's what we called them. I was too old to play with dolls when they came out, but we loved to stroke their hair and make wishes! Thanks for taking me back in time to a pleasant memory!
