I collect American girl dolls and other toys, and have since I was a child, so I'm no stranger to toy fads of all kinds that lead to depleted stock. But oh. My. God. I cannot find nee doh anything anywhere anymore, and what I do find is fake, and the brand's own website doesn't even take orders anymore?!! I feel so bad for you guys who have been into them since before the huge blow up in popularity.

I was just trying to replace my generic cheese squishy that popped yesterday, and I figured I would finally invest some money in a good nee doh, but apparently not. I am regretting not getting the gummy bear ones that were on clearance in Walmart a while ago. There honestly is even a lack of squishy items in general at the big box stores. And while yes I will continue hunting and checking all the online places, it just is crazy to me that the unavailability has lasted THIS long.

Sorry for the long post, but I do hope the hype eventually calms down and they can go back to being regularly available again.

I work with several disabled individuals and some of the nail salons I have taken them to have left us feeling rushed or like we didn't quite get the best quality work. Does anyone have recommendations for salons that regularly perform quality services for individuals with disabilities?

I have SO. MANY. DOGS. from AG. AG is notorious for having a bit of a dog overload problem. There are of course some characters with cats, Kirsten, Rebecca, Marisol, Isabelle, technically Lea if you count her bobcat. However, the majority of the AG pets are and almost always have been dogs. So as you can imagine, when you have Molly's dog, Emily's dog, MaryEllen/Lindsey's dog (scooter is shared custody between the two), Meatloaf the bulldog, Kaya's dog, Marie-Grace's dog, Melody's dog, plus a few of the truly me dogs and probably some I for sure am missing (ope- Luciana's robot dog too, if that counts), you start to get tired of all the dogs.

So, a year or two ago I decided, intentionally, no more doll sized dogs. Not forever (or, I guess, furrever hehehe....), because of course if I had the space I would own every AG item, as most of us probably would. However, I simply do not need any more doll sized dogs. Honestly, 90% of my AG pets have been just in a box for a while because they don't even get set up in the dollhouse super often.

I just wanted to share this here to show that, even if you're collecting, some items don't have to be things you seek out, it is okay to limit the buying of certain items for your collection in accordance with your collecting style.
