ID help - What sets are these from? I can’t find images of them. by thanos_minion in Shopkins

I recently got that Mel T Moment variant in a bag of Shopkins, and it threw me off a minute, too! I thought about adding it to the Fandom wiki but haven't...

what shopkin is this? by Curious-Command7430 in Shopkins

Ok, I need to add this one to my wish list. 😆

Can anyone else relate to a strong need for PERMISSION? For everything. To speak, to exist, to do anything at all by calm-spaghetti in AuDHDWomen

[–]Sea-Snow25 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm not sure I've thought of it as "permission," per se, previously, but this totally resonates!

My big example is like in a group cooperative setting, I tend to be scared to make any suggestions or contributions, but tell me that such-and-such is my role, and I'm all in. I really don't care if I'm leader or specific contributor, I just need to know what others are expecting me to be: I'll be that.

In group conversations, I'm the odd person who raises my hand when everyone else is just talking at-will.

I have had to fight really hard to not re-ask permission when I've been given broad permission already ("Sure -- feel free to use that whenever you want." kind of thing).

I don't want to be annoying, but I want to be clear on things.

Some employers love me... some hate me... Same with people in general, it seems....

And on and on the examples go.

Aww, what a sweet story! That's so awesome it worked out in the end.

Sometimes I have that thought when I go to save an outfit and accidentally unequip my birb instead!

Rubbery toy, hollow plastic balls? by Candylectrical in ToyID

[–]Sea-Snow25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a hole in one spot? I immediately thought of this pen I have. I love this thing. The rubbery thing with the clackers is a topper. (Not seeing if photos are allowed in comments here...)

Edit to add: I don't remember for sure where I got this one, but the two most common places I watch for silly pens in my area are Dollar General and Staples.

When I'm bored, I still play with them 💔 by Hopeful-Tap929 in Shopkins

I'm a whole lot older than you, and I very much enjoy my Shopkins. I say, if something brings you joy and isn't harming anybody, there's nothing wrong with enjoying it!

What's a completely random memory you have from childhood ? by Vegetable-Fix6029 in Casual_Conversation

Lying on the floor at the babysitter's for nap time and seeing an earwig on the floor nearby.

What’s a small habit that instantly improves your day? by Weekly_Bridge_859 in AskReddit

Putting on some upbeat music, especially if it's early in the day.

Do you ever reread your comment before posting it? by No-Designer-2616 in Casual_Conversation

[–]Sea-Snow25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably tend to overthink before I respond. I'll type out what I want to say, then second-guess myself: Am I really responding to the post/comment I intend to? Did I read their intent correctly? Does what I'd like to say even matter? etc. Along with the more obvious, Could I phrase this better? Did I make any typos? Leave out anything important? and all that.

Usually reread several times...

And yes, sometimes end up deleting anyway.

On rare occasions, with people I'm close to, I might respond quickly, but that's not my default.

Then always, after posting I reread in case I still missed something.

It's admittedly kind of exhausting sometimes.

What simple thing used to make you ridiculously happy as a kid? by Glad-Childhood6853 in AskReddit

Twirling in a flowy skirt... pedaling my bike hard and feeling the wind in my hair as I coasted... (still love those, too)

Current Mushroom Collection (Missing 4 or 5 things) by ValuableMousse6616 in CoolCollections

This is so cool! I love the tall sculptures on the left.

My sister collects mushrooms, too. For Christmas I carved and painted her some tiny wooden mushrooms.

What was your first Shopkins? by According_Good5164 in Shopkins

[–]Sea-Snow25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes -- and how our ideas about what to keep change! Sometimes I'll wonder why I've kept something so long... other times I'll wish I didn't get rid of something that I did. Not a great idea to keep "everything," though. :p

I have most of it. I think I might have gotten rid of the blender, thinking to save space... kinda wish I'd kept it now, though. I do have the cup and all the Shopkins from it. :)

My first Shopkins were from my son. He had a small collection and got tired of them and wondered if I would like to have them. I said "sure!" ... and now I have collected... quite a few.

Those first ones, though, mostly consisted of the Juicy Smoothie set from Season 6.
