Wheres Toto Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I found a bunch of stuff for dd on redbubble. She's into DanganRompa now and there's not much available on Amazon or other places. She always gets into a fandom before it becomes super popular, then right when items start really becoming available widely, she switches. Ds is easier, he's still into Pokemon. When he was little, Pokemen was in a lull and hard to find. Now it's everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she actually plays the game, she watches videos of the game being played. Before this she was into Five Nights at Freddy's. I would never have heard of it if she wasn't into it. There are a few items on Amazon and one shirt at Hot Topic for it so it's not totally obscure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat we just lost was not only tailless, but a longhair. Our cousins on a ranch east of us had tailless kittens for years, and up Ohio Creek, they had ones with extra toes! Alas, both strains are gone now. I am SO not a cat person, but I have a soft spot for tailless critters--I have an Australian shepherd with a natural nubbin, I adore corgis from afar, etc., so even I think that's pretty cute.

Stacia Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Not too long ago, I went to a concert of singer Sarah Aili. I ended up getting a bracelet from her. The cool thing is that the beads on it spell out "My Heart is Listening" in Morse Code. It's pretty & unique, imo. In a newsletter I received from her, she said, " *In your note at purchase, please include the name of the person you're gifting and I'll send along a handwritten note as well!" http://www.sarahaili.com/store 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
