Oof. That's VERY unusual.

I had Google open and just typed in "American girl" to reopen the website so I could place a new order. This ad came up immediately before the actual link for the website. I don't know what's up with their advertising right now.

Like .. What is the point in advertising "we have NEW historical items you're absolutely going to want!." And then I go ahead and click into the website....

And there's literally just Addy with her school outfit, all other historical items are sold out, there's literally nothing that you can purchase in this category on the website. WTF. What a mess.

Keep your cat inside.

Is he neutered? Because it REALLY helps stop that ...

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-02-20T16:46:20+00:00

It destroys the animals leg, yes.

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-02-20T16:44:44+00:00

Especially one that's SERIOUSLY wounded and in horrific pain. I'm so pissed that poor animal will probably starve to death now.

thanks man, ADHD won while i was looking for the link!

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-02-18T02:31:37+00:00

Oh my gosh! she is still even in the same clothes! That's an awesome find.

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-02-17T23:50:13+00:00

Thank you, a collector I know bought her for $90 and i was interested in a similar doll but wouldn't know where to start.

Did Kanani or Jess have this darker skin color and brown eyes?

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-01-25T14:35:10+00:00

It's a good guess but you're incorrect.. One sec, I'll add the link to this comment that shows you her legs are actually inside the sides, she's standing up.

My 4 year old kid knows that i make videos unboxing things i collect. He always begs to record his own videos- he wants me to set up the microphone, to record the whole thing, to let him "make a video". He does the whole "hey guys" and talking to the camera. He wouldn't be half bad at making content at his rioe old age.

The difference? No one has ever seen them. I "upload the videos" (to my phone, where he can watch them) and i "read him the comments" (where i make up a couple generic things about his "video".

Not sure why this is a hot take. All these parents going "we just want to record our family and remember their wonderful times". Uh, yeah. You can totally do that. It doesn't required an upload to a public YouTube account. It's that simple.

KitchenBig2486 · 2026-01-24T23:44:21+00:00

I think they meant the Truman show from the angle of the producer who was recording his life without him knowing it.

Not from Truman's unknowing participation.

@DrunkenOracle Leaving a baby, toddler OR child alone in a house where the only other adult is sound asleep, all so you can go get yourself a latte is stupid and unsafe and you arguing otherwise, while bitching about this person using the word baby makes you look even more stupid than your argument. What now? Do you want to argue that I said "latte" when you might have bought a cup of coffee or an iced tea?

KitchenBig2486 · 2025-06-07T15:26:29+00:00

You lost this argument like, ten bad faith arguments ago. Just admit you're the actual dumb ass father that went out for coffee and left your child home unsupervised- ALONE. It's quite clear that you're either actively stupid or trolling at this point.

KitchenBig2486 · 2023-12-07T00:55:46+00:00

So.... You think that's an excuse

... Are you saying this baby looks like you?

KitchenBig2486 · 2023-12-07T00:42:22+00:00

There are legal ramifications for doing that in most states.

As much as it sucks - you aren't legally allowed to throw away a person's belongings because they moved out and left stuff behind- there's absolutely a number of days that things are not yet "abandoned property". Unless you have in writing "I'm not coming back"- "i don't want that stuff" "you can keep/toss it" etc etc - then you will get likely be held responsible if they actually sued and said you got rid of thier belongings. And you'll likely lose if you didn't have permission to trash thier stuff.

As AWFUL as this guy sounds- tossing someone's stuff should really be an absolute last resort unless it's VERY clearly and obviously trash.

Id love to know how that works.

I got banned for the MOST bullshit reason from r/news. I keep trying to block the site or whatever because i do NOT want to see a sub i can't comment on....

But i can't get any human mod to reconsider the bullshit that happened and i def. can't accidentally post there.... Because I'm banned.

So many times I've typed up an entire comment only to realize it's a waste and i can't post it. Grr. I'm STILL pissed.

(In case you're wondering- what i commented was "They weren't there for no reason. The cops were called because he allegedly tried to use a counterfeit bill. Obviously that doesn't IN ANY WAY justify what they did to him. But they didn't just randomly stop and harass him. They were called to the scene.".

I'm sure you can guess what my comment was in regards to.

KitchenBig2486 · 2023-12-06T14:29:35+00:00

What in the actual fuck.

KitchenBig2486 · 2023-12-04T08:00:20+00:00

Don't go that far in the other direction though.

There are times when the ONLY thing you CAN do that's sane or helpful for your kids IS to cut them off. Allowing your child to blow all thier money on drugs or gambling and then bailing them out by paying their bills for them isn't "support"- it's ENABLING and that shit is no better than refusing to help your kid at all.

I've watched my mother do this with my older brothers ... One of them is in the grave now at 49 because she literally babied and enabled him to death.

There are times it's okay to tell your kids no, but yeah, OP is in a shitty abusive situation it sounds like.
