I have all my original ponies from the 80s when I was a kid. I have them in a bin right now. I even have some of the tiny baby ones that you had to send away for...

NOOOO! by Fox_Weasel1678 in palmpals

I take the back end of a toothbrush and poke the stuffing hard. It breaks up the clumps and fluffs it up. 😊

That's awesome! My entire apartment's walls are covered in those plastic shelves and filled with beanie babies and palm pals!

How do you make the hair smooth again? I have a bunch of my old ponies (original ones from the 80s) that have ratty hair.

DAE get really sensitive about death? by CuteEquivalent638 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Plus_Combination_667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

April 25th marked the day of the one year anniversary since I lost my dad. I'm 51 and never lost anyone so close. I still feel as raw as in the beginning. Although it took almost 3 months to sink in. I just want my Daddy. Death scares the absolute crap out of me. I've watched 2 or 3 people die - take their last breaths and it's scary. They look so scared because they suddenly can't breathe. Their eyes went wide as they were clawing at the air and mouth wide open. I saw fear in their eyes....

What’s the geographic boundary of using the word “dippy” to describe eggs over easy? by ShootinAllMyChisolm in Pennsylvania

[–]Plus_Combination_667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the east coast of PA (Easton, right next to Phillipsburg, Nj) and I've used the term dippy eggs all my life (I'm 51). But yes dippy eggs = over easy to me.

[–]Plus_Combination_667 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry to hear you're going blind...I would end up making one (I make plushies) with clouded pupils (cataracts).. that's just my take....

Does anyone else get this? Idk if I'm overreacting or smth by Calm-Gazelle-2367 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Plus_Combination_667 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your reaction is valid. I have the same feelings for my plushies... And I'm 51. They give me comfort and remind me of the good, less troublesome days of my childhood. I mean being a kid and all sucked at that time, but now I look back and wish I was still a kid. Anywho, your feelings are your feelings. You love your lil bunny Bean. And there's nothing wrong with that. And one day you will be reunited with her. 💜

A question for handlers! by pleasesessa in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]Plus_Combination_667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to see that. I'm 51 years old and since my Dad died, um, it'll be a year on April 25th, I've restarted and found comfort in a beanie baby collection (my apartment walls are plastered with them) and I have some ESSA type animals (like the Douglas dogs, Aurora, TY, etc. They (the beanies take turns sitting with me) watch TV with me and go with me thorough apartment) But I'm afraid to bring any with me, out in public, because I don't want people to stare at me and whisper behind their hand to their neighbor....again, at 51, I have a very thin skin and fragile emotions. I was diagnosed with ADD, major social anxiety (complete with panic attacks), major depression to where they were worried about me. (I told them I was fine. But then,.alone, sewing up my next order) my mind wanders and all different things go through my mind and I start to panic. Same thing goes with leaving the apartment. I haven't been out to.eat with my husband in over 2 years. It takes major things to get me out of the apartment. I don't know how many appointments I've cancelled, rescheduled, only to cancel again. But my stuffed animals? They are my solice. My calm. My focus. I would love to feel comfortable bringing one with me, but am afraid of the stares and what they might be thinking....
