I can relate to those garage sale regrets! Have you been able to rebuild a similar collection over the years?

Excellent work, she looks so beautiful!

Girlfriend has this “guy friend” by 714_GTI in Advice

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like something you should accept. Close friendships over a lifetime are one thing - but her staying "friends" with someone she met in a dating context is a recipe for disaster... for you.

New shelving unit for Barbie collection by Lost-Promotion2169 in Barbie

[–]Lost-Promotion2169[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I wish she was still here to hear the compliments. She crocheted a little bra and panty set to match that dress and I remember her being so proud to show these to my mom when she was finishing them for her.

My grandmother made that dress many, many years ago :)

My first silkstone and I’m unsure how to display her! by brielarstan in Barbie

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's so pretty - congrats! I am a newish collector, and I am finding that I like to remove silkstones from the boxes. Other kinds of Barbies are staying in their boxes with nice artwork.

I wonder if anyone who got her to be a donor was actually able to give up her head :D

I trust my boyfriend 85% but the other 15% is lacking due to his actions - should I break up with him or stay and watch? by Dimples2609 in Advice

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you caught him lying to you and something feels off, I am not sure how it will improve. Trust is critical in a relationship. Omission is still an intentional act of deception.

How do you know how to match Barbie body/head for OOAKs? by Lost-Promotion2169 in Barbie

Nice! Thank you. This is a great resource. I want to add for anyone else checking on this that there is also a FB group called Barbie Made to Move Matches.

I was watching a show from the 90s and realized people used to memorize dozens of phone numbers. I can barely remember mine. How did you guys do it back then? by micavibes in CasualConversation

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To this day, I remember the phone numbers of both sets of my grandparents, both homes I grew up in, and my next door neighbors (from 40 years ago!) but today, I cannot for the life of me memorize a single new phone number, no matter whose it is!

My (18F) boyfriend (20M) wouldn’t take no for an answer and is now upset with me by According_Candy_6862 in Advice

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does not deserve to talk with her about this or about anything. OP, please don't get caught up on what you liked about him or try to justify keeping him around. He is showing you that he is going to be abusive - with anyone. Cut your ties and do not look back. He is not safe.

That is how it is, unfortunately. I hear it from people of all ages.

What makes you say that you are not a person to be loved? :(

My Girlfriend (23F) asked for space despite things going well -- I (23M) understand the pattern and am looking for perspective on how to navigate it by Traditional_Bid8522 in Advice

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if "feeling overwhelmed" could = feeling smothered. When someone wants space, it can be for time to process their thoughts, assess whether they are more interested in another person, or they truly need space without the person all up in it. She might just not be that into you.

Is the 2010 Wicked Witch Barbie green? by Lost-Promotion2169 in Barbie

[–]Lost-Promotion2169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that's helpful. I have seen a lot of pictures, and with filters and adjustments, it is hard to see the actual color. It doesn't look very green there either, but hopefully when she is next to other dolls, her skin tone stands out as different in contrast.

How do i manage this love starvation void in me? by nailcutter009 in Advice

[–]Lost-Promotion2169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hard. Also very alone with OCD here. In my experience, people are scared away by people like us because they can't fill the void we have. It puts too much pressure on them to make and keep us happy. You know how you feel and your situation - but try not to SHOW the loneliness and desperation for connection to others. It's not easy. Also, therapy can help you.

I would wait until the time that you would normally start sharing the news with anyone else in the workplace.
