Our dogs love their toys, and many of them have favorite toys. Many dogs are also able to retrieve a particular toy when their owners name it, i.e., “Bring me Bear.” Researchers at the Family Dog Project, a Hungarian academic research institute that studies the behavioral and cognitive aspects of the dog-human relationship, recently examined […]

I love this page, by the way.
So there was a TERF, who was complaining about how Lego is not for adults, and anyone who does play with them, is probably a pervert and trying to groom.
You know what cracked me the most though? This account calls themselves the “Wild Woman Writing Club” and they think Lego is only for kids? Did you know some Lego sets can cost up too $500?! You know how I know, I’ve bought two of them for my partner. Are they trying to tell us that parents are buying $500 lego sets, just for kids?
This got us all talking about how not everything is for the kids.
For those who are relatively new to my blog, I buy teddy bears from a company called Charlie Bears. While, like Lego, you can buy them for kids. They are best suited for adults. Of course, you can all spend between $70-$500 for a teddy bear, for a kid. But they are best suited for adults.
Oh, colouring in books! I have a whole lot of them! I wouldn’t be without them. And I am always on the lookout for more!
So yeah, absolutely not everything is for just the kids!
I even have a couple of Barbies, lol … Mainly because though they can be useful sometimes in pictures and also…I mean, come on…a Barbie you can meditate with! I was SO disadvantaged as a child, lol It has a puppy that you can show the mood you’re feeling…I mean…COME ON!!!

You all MUST have something that you “play” with that can be for both children and adults?
I wanted to do something fun for my first post for Black History Month. I know that normally it’s all about honoring the past, but you know. Let’s have a little fun, before we get too serious. One thing about the modern times, there are more and more options for young people to buy toys. And for collectibles for us older “kids” too!
I manage to snag myself one of these, and I love it. It’s on my bookshelf now, I thought that was appropriate placing. It’s Maya Angelou Barbie Inspiring Women Doll.
“Colored Francie“ made her debut in 1967, and she is sometimes described as the first African American Barbie doll.
Of course with Black Panther played by the beautiful Chadwick Boseman, there are a lot more options for “boys” as well. Although personally, I have no problem with what “gender” toys, and who plays with what “gender” toys. If I was younger, I would have LOVED a Black Panther toy. Black Panther and Chadwick Boseman are equally as beautiful.
And don’t think for a second that African American people get out of those “real life looking” creepy baby dolls.
*shivers*
I know that plastic isn’t the “in” thing…But at least they look cute, and not “alive” like Chucky.
So of course you have Barbie, Mattel, Bratz…I can’t think of other doll companies, lol.
Don’t forget about Etsy! They have such a range!
I know 2000, was a few years ago…But you know, she’s beautiful!
Oh gosh…Now I’ve got the money to buy the toys that I would want, I can’t because I’m too old and people judge,lol
I SHOULD have kept my Barbies “Peaches and Creams” dress though…That dress is going for over $200 on ebay!

What would be your ideal fantasy way to spend Monday?
What one person that you are out of contact with would you like to say thank you to?
I can’t really think of one person, generally (even ex’s) I will thank for anything good or positive they brought to my life…Who knows when I’d see them again! There’s only one because I cannot remember if I thanked him or not. In year 6 (so about 10-11 years of age) I was bullied pretty much by all my classmates (my friends were in another class and I was not allowed to swap for some reason). There was one classmate who actually made me laugh, but of course if I tried to be friends with him, “I must love him”. I don’t think he realised how much he got me through.
List your favorite toys or games as a kid?
I am having such a good time remembering these =D Thank you so much!
What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
In all honesty the question above has really been making me smile and now I’m looking for the other toys from my childhood. Thank you!
Toy and games that will make 90’s girls (and some boys!) super nostalgic
The last couple of months I have hit the retail therapy HARD CORE! I mean generally there is always some kind of retail therapy for me after a breakup, but I have been getting rid of so many old clothes and getting new gorgeous ones. It is a necessary function that needs to be performed after every single break up…No matter how nice or nasty!
It is interesting though what people decide to buy after a break up. When I was younger I used to buy plush toys and I still actually have them all and I have no bad feelings towards any of them. As I’ve gotten older though I buy clothes more now and I buy things that I’ve been wanting for a while but never got around too.
What do you buy after a breakup? What makes you feel better? Is it buying bad food (sometimes I do that…Nice juicy bad burger~.^) is it watching “bad” movies? Is it just being around family and friends?.
