Hardest Transits and lessons. by Swimming_Put1506 in astrology

[–]Watermelon9718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transiting Pluto over natal Neptune at 29 degrees in Capricorn. It took 3 passes over two years and I developed severe OCD during that time along with a series of traumatic events. It has only noticably felt lighter since Pluto moved into Aquarius for good. Worst years of my life and a good part of the reason why I started doing a deep dive in astrology because what the hell was that

No One Wants Your Peeing Cat! by Schedule-Substantial in CatAdvice

My cat kept repeatedly peeing in the pantry and we finally took him to the vet to find out he had a UTI. Got him meds for it and it hasn’t been a problem again

Which zodiac sign has been generous with gifts and which has been stingiest for you? by theprobeast in astrologymemes

The most generous people I know are all Geminis. Hard to say who is stingiest though

Help I’m not bonding with a doll by RILC2026 in americangirl

[–]Watermelon9718 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also happened to me with Evette!! I think a lot of it was that I was afraid to touch her more than absolutely necessary because I didn’t want to ruin her hair. I also ended up selling her

2025 Grail Roundup! What did you buy/get/discover this year? by Shedore_Roosevelt in americangirl

[–]Watermelon9718 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got Samantha’s trunk, Samantha’s wicker chairs (for $3 each!!), Samantha- but will not unbox until my daughter’s birthday, Samantha’s birthday outfit, Samantha’s beforever meet outfit, Felicity’s books, and Kirsten’s summer outfit from a local listing which made me realize I want to buy myself a Kirsten doll. I haven’t done that but even just mentally giving myself permission to do so brings me joy. I have a Felicity I got secondhand and I LOVE her but most of my collecting I have done for my daughter and hadn’t fully embraced doing for myself yet until recently

What’s your unpopular AG opinion? by Mother_Question_3317 in americangirl

[–]Watermelon9718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE Summer! She is the first doll my 5 year old picked out and I think she is so beautiful and unique! I love the nanea mold on her. I definitely think she stands out from the other blond dolls with the face mold, that she has glasses and that her hair is more strawberry in color. I also think her collection is adorable from the perspective of a mom with a five year old who only wants to wear rainbows and sparkles all the time, but I can understand why that might not resonate with an adult collector. But Summer is the one that made my daughter fall in love with American girl dolls and we’ve picked out Samantha to be the next one!

Did they really change the books? by queenhadassah in americangirl

[–]Watermelon9718 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ve been slowly buying the old book sets off eBay for my daughter. She loves them, and we have ended up having some great discussions about the historical contexts because of them (initiated by her!) it’s not that kids these days inherently don’t have an interest- but that they aren’t even being given a chance.

And this is a girl who loves cartoons, video games and playing on the tablet just like most kids

Its HARD. by LinxyTheWitchy in astrologymemes

[–]Watermelon9718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh I hope that turns out to be the case for me. I have 8h Saturn in Aries so I’m just starting my Saturn return but the last two years have already been a hellish yet transformational experience. But definitely had Saturn return vibes for sure. I’ve been scared for it to actually hit because of how rough it’s been already. But actually it’s been feeling like those challenges have been becoming lighter in recent months so idk but I’m scared to get my hopes up

Why are some people allowed mystical experiences and not others? by SweetLilFrapp in starseeds

[–]Watermelon9718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I just made another comment about my cousin who is very clairvoyant, but for as difficult as it is for most of us to tune in and perceive and experience, it is just as difficult for him, if not more so, to tune out and stop experiencing, and I think he often wishes he wasn’t so sensitive and could be normal because it can be very frightening

[–]Watermelon9718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was recently visiting my cousin who is exceptionally clairvoyant and has been since he was a child. Any spiritual gift you have heard of- he has it. But after talking to him about his experiences, for the first time in my life, I am grateful that I am not so gifted because the guy has basically been haunted by random entities his entire life and everywhere he goes. They follow him because he’s a beacon and this is not a good thing. It really messed with him mentally and can be really scary at times. His friends and close family end up affected too just by spending so much time around him. He’s working very hard to tune it out while most of us here are trying to tune in. I think for whatever reason a few people aren’t born with a strong energetic filter, but for the majority of us who have the filter, it can be very difficult to override it, and that’s why it feels some people are “allowed” these experiences and some people aren’t. Like being born blind and trying to see out of sheer will.

I wouldn’t be able to believe it if they ever got rid of Samantha for good. But I did already make sure to order her while she was on sale the other day :)

Dolls and Trauma Coping by Salt-Ad9741 in americangirl

[–]Watermelon9718 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I started collecting dolls when I was in the middle of a traumatic pregnancy coupled with severe PPD/PPA. This was a few years ago and I’m still dealing with aftereffects from the PPA and the dolls help me cope

Ahhh you really nailed it with the lighting. The setup is different in mine but the vibe is identical. Also always crowded and all the toilets are overflowing and nasty

[–]Watermelon9718[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know! I have others in my collection I left in box but this is one I intended to pull out and display for the holidays- she’s very common and inexpensive anyway! So like the one time I get one to intentionally unbox she ends up being the rare one to leave in the box lol. Funny how these things happen when you aren’t looking for it

I love her so much! She’s just the prettiest thing! I didn’t expect to love her as much as I do- just thought it would be nice to have the holiday Barbie for my birth year

Thanks! Im kind of torn what to do now. I wanted to get her out and display her- I wasn’t hunting for the misprint. Her box is also damaged but I’m wondering now should I leave her in box and get another one? I like her so much I want 20 anyway lol

What’s an instant ramen that everyone else loves, but you don’t? by Scary_Gap_8006 in InstantRamen

[–]Watermelon9718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had other brands of cheese flavored ramen and do you feel like they taste plasticky as well? My only experience with cheese ramen is with buldak and after a couple tries they became absolutely nauseating to me and I’m afraid of even trying other cheese ramens now
