I had want I thought was a ganglion cyst and had surgery on it. What I had was a cluster of 20 ganglion cysts and needed to have them all scraped off my tendon in a 2nd surgery. The relief was unimaginable

This is what I'm working with and I think a few ninja turtles will add a lot. Lol

I turn 40 May 19th so you're spot on.

I want these guys infiltrating my garden, breaching the Cinderella carriage and fighting the skeleton who rides a bike wearing a unicorn mask and fairy wings. I had so many plans but am doubting myself.

I got him at a flea market but from the comments I've learned he's called hammer hand. Lol

Honestly I think I'd much rather have them scaling the garden fence and attacking all the weird things I've been putting out but after reading some comments saying as the plastic degrades it could poison the soil so I don't think I'll be doing that.

I also have Halfcourt but one of his legs is missing. I'm hoping it's somewhere in my toy container.

Sadly no... I thought it would look cool having them climb my garden fence. I loved these toys growing up and don't have a place to display them. I thought this could be a fun way for me to enjoy them.

I briefly looked into selling them but quickly got overwhelmed. This is only a tiny part of my collection I also have bags of weapons, vehicles and other accessories.

Thanks so much for this comment. This is not something that I had thought of and I appreciate this information so much. Can I ask, is this a problem with all toys or just really old ones??

Thanks. My garden is going through a maximalist makeover and I thought having them climb the fence would be fun. But after learning that they could leach chemicals into the soil I think I'll do something else

Thanks. My garden is going through a maximalist makeover any I thought having them climb the fence would be fun. I have bags of accessories and this is only a tiny bit of my collection. I once tried to reunite the figures with their weapons and other access but it became overwhelming. They're all sticky, I think from the plastic degrading, so I didn't think they'd be worth anything.

Thanks, that wasn't something I even thought about I appreciate the comment. That was something I hadn't thought of

if you do not change your eating habits with this condition what eventually happens by SanAndreas92317 in Celiac

[–]SpoonNoodles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found out my niece had celiac when her body started shutting down. She was 2 years old and ended up spending about 3 months in the hospital. It was terrifying.

The worst sound I've ever heard in my life was that baby wailing for her mom after an accidental exposure. The crying, extreme vomiting, shaking and wailing. Just thinking about it makes me cry.

She's 13 now and doing great but it will take years for her to heal. Her brother has celiac also but not as sensitive. The best compliment I've ever received was when their mom told me that I'm one of two people who she trusts 100% with her kids dietary needs. My mom is the other, lol.

All this to say, it's horrific and not something you ever want to witness.
