I have only added a three of the first wave of the Looks dolls and only two of the second wave. BTW, your cat looks a lot like my cat Rocco that died. Rocco's ears were shorter. I have seen many cats that are this same gray tabby. While watching a show on lions and how they were able to to tell the cubs apart and ID them as adults, they looked as their whisker patterns. They said that they didn't change as the lion got older. I wondered if this is the same for cats?Ms. Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742194324517520395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746328672743092358.post-36823435158173981192022-01-28T10:23:18.566-05:002022-01-28T10:23:18.566-05:00You post is nice.

I'm also just so sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. I lost my 16 yr cat back in Feb of 2019 and I still miss him so much as he was with me for so long. We've since gotten 2 new cats and I feel so happy that they are both such lovely lap cats, but there was just something about my old one and I will always miss him! Your daughter's new cat is very cute! Congratulations on your weight loss as well! I love seeing the photos and it looks like your daughters are doing well. I'm glad to see that you are still collecting and enjoying your new dolls!<br />I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

In my mind, this doll community is really my real life friends but y'all don't know it lol. I'm sorry to about the bad things that have happened to you and that has affected your family also.

I don't know where you are exactly, but if you ever want me to get a doll for you, I will do it and just have you reimburse me for my cost of the doll and shipping.

My prayers are with the families of the victims, the perpetrator and family and the students, faculty and family and friends of that school. That was totally awful.<br /><br />People can be so mean. One would think that doll people are happy go lucky because of the nature of our hobby. Please keep doing you and enjoy yourself. Buy what you like, when you like. I have been called a hoarder of dolls. My opinion is that it is my money, my space, so carry on and mind the business that pays you, because I surely don’t. Do what brings you joy.<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about your lovely fur baby. Pets are like family.<br /><br />Congratulations on your weight loss. You look great!!<br /><br />You have a beautiful collection of dolls. Love them!!Georgia Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12161464262175993611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746328672743092358.post-72158886300366323452021-12-04T13:56:51.392-05:002021-12-04T13:56:51.392-05:00I am so sorry to hear all of this. But yes, these ...I am so sorry to hear all of this. But yes, these pandemic years have been quite stressful in one way or another. I too, have been following all of the news surrounding the Oxford High School shooting. It's just one more instance of the pandemic of gratuitous hate that's been spreading throughout the US. I don't know where it will all end--but I do hope it will end. In the meantime, I feel so bad for those four families who lost their children...and so close to the holidays makes things even worse. <br />As far as the hateful comments surrounding your doll purchases....again...I do not understand such childish behaviour. One of the things I generally credit the doll community is for the wonderful people that make up this hobby. While it's true that we have been, over the past two years, infiltrated by speculators who buy up quantities of dolls then resell them at ridiculous prices on eBay, I would hope people would be able to tell the difference between those folks and the collector who, for numerous reasons, choose to have duplicate or multiples of the same doll. When I first started collecting, I bought the Barbie SIS dolls each time I ventured into Target. Let's just say, there is a really big family of these dolls residing in my dad's house!!! But in any case, you know who your online dolly friends are and we will always be there for you. I look forward to seeing more posts from you in the coming year. P.S. That's a mighty fine collection of Barbies you have there!april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746328672743092358.post-31259883902111226122021-12-04T11:57:29.030-05:002021-12-04T11:57:29.030-05:00Hello Phyllis,
Glad to read one of the new posts.
...Hello Phyllis,<br />Glad to read one of the new posts.<br />It is sad to see the shootings in schools. In my area, since we lifted the lockdown, there have been a lot of shootings in the city center. I won't name the name of this famous city, even I have serious questions about whether we should move.<br /><br />I am sad to hear about your little cat and also happy to hear that your generous family has welcomed a new cat. Welcome to your family to your new cat.<br /><br />The world of collections is special at times, why say bad things to each other when you can't get certain dolls? I too had ordered 4 of the 6 since June 16 at the regular price. Me it is the company which canceled my order in September. I recommended everything at three times the price, I was frustrated after the company because I have the funny impression that it is wanted by its companies which have a lot of power.<br />I do not know if you have seen the three new models that have been added to this collection, this one I was able to order only one at the regular price.Shasarignishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640829190355452583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746328672743092358.post-37328956056666531932021-12-04T06:34:55.078-05:002021-12-04T06:34:55.078-05:00Hi Phyllis!

It must be terrifying to have such a thing happening so close from home. Having to deal with Jasmine passing must have been hard too. She was such a gorgeous cat. On top of that, we're living in this "unprecedented times", so I totally understand not being in the mood to post.<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you got so much hate. Sometimes people on the Internet can be pretty nasty. I'm one of those people that thinks that if you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything. I think a lot of people are pressed because scalpers create a false scarcity by buying multiples, which I know is not the case with you. But that's still not a reason to be hateful to those buying multiples for customization purposes. To be fair, I would have bought multiples of some dolls had I been able to afford to do so. Probably not 4, but maybe a second one of a doll or two for rebody purposes. So far I just got the one with the afro hair, because she was the one I was truly interested in, and from the second wave I just want the one with the short hair. The others I just don't care enough to pay full price. <br /><br />Glad to hear that you and your family are doing well and staying healthy. Luckily Carly is doing well now, and her and Mushroom seem to be getting along. Happy that Hannah managed to go back to college in somewhat normal way. I think I remember reading about her high school graduation and the whole issue with the dress. <br /><br />Wish you a lovely Christmas time with your loved ones and a happy new year! monstercraftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783206408776211745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746328672743092358.post-42044421047422550732021-12-04T02:27:07.663-05:002021-12-04T02:27:07.663-05:00I can't even imagine what the climate must be ...I can't even imagine what the climate must be like in the aftermath of the horrendous school shootings. Something really needs to be done to control the causes of these acts. More and more we hear about school shootings and folks involved in gun battles in public places. This should not be the norm.<br /><br />I'm so sorry about the loss of your cat. Glad to hear Carly is doing well. I hope the pathology results are promising.<br /><br />Congrats on your weight loss. I've been on a healthy track as well and have almost reached my target weight. Thanksgiving derailed me a bit, but I remain focused.<br /><br />It's sad that people, even in the doll world, can be so mean about someone else's doll purchases. I've often purchased duplicates, one to remove from the box and one to keep in the box, but I rarely post about this because I know how some people can react. Such silliness among grown folk.<br /><br />You've had a nice doll haul this year. Continue to enjoy your dolls.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.com
