You ARE Somebody

[Archives1]

On the topic of self esteem, relationships and even friendships it came to me this morning a concept i think might help you.
Many people are questioning themselves on material purchases "is this a WANT or a NEED?"
When it comes to relationships please remember this instead:
It is a PRIVILEGE to be your friend or date or partner with you.Not a RIGHT.
With this mental orientation you will be looking at your friendship in a correct light.

I love the new doll too! Tell me about it?

Why YES JIM, Im GLAD you asked!!-( hearty chuckle of delight because i enjoy the HECK out dolls!!)
This is a rare doll relatively, it is all metal from head to toe with springs in the arm and leg. The move in doll making to nonbreakable toys took a break in ww2 and many metal items were donated to be melted down for the war effort. This type of all metal doll never became popular anyhow. Not cuddley! Less rare are metal doll heads as the porcelain china doll heads broke so the metal heads were sold to be sewn on the leather body. Mine is metal head torso and limbs, she was owned by one midwestern girl her whole life from cradle to grave and manufactured about 1925, sold by her daughter to me.
I tailored all her clothes from vintage pieces.
I have enjoyed talking with you!!
.....Jim, Jim are you still awake???

I never heard that one before, Maymay941. Thank you so much! (The Queen Bees always knew this, but we Worker Bees often got a different message...) The info. about the doll was interesting. I remember having a doll with a porcelain head and limbs and a stuffed-fabric body when I was a little girl.

Awww, you are too sweet MayMay. Thank you for the kind words. I was able to squeeze a week vacation in so I have been fixing some things on my car and the condo. Heading to Tennessee for a wedding. Friends of Deb’s son. Very lovely younger couple he went to Clemson with. Should be a nice drive. I’m excited...may have to start a new topic for the occasion...long car trips...what do you do when....(you get the idea). I don’t think anyone still pees in a mason jar while on the road anymore. But I did notice those Gatorade bottles sure have a big opening in the top...lol.

You know, years ago i knew a couple they took a porta potty with the nothing wrong with the old fashioned carry a jar approach.

Its worth noting there are funnels sold for women to use to pee out in nature while out camping etc (on Amazon.)
I dont remember the brand name.
A man here said he got a plastic funnel used for transmission fluid or oil change and used it while out in his RV as a discreet way to control his stream
Can probably find something funnel like in baking or cooking department at the supermarket.
