I still collect My Little Ponies! Well, I haven't bought any for quite some time because I don't have room and ended up putting my collection in storage. =< But hopefully sometime soon I can get my collection back out and get to buying a few more of the ones I'm looking for.
I actually have a pair of reproduction Flutter Pony wings... they are REALLY pretty, but I've only taken them out of their box maybe once or twice. I'm afraid to put them into any of the flutter ponies in case they end up breaking, LOL.
Lmao, you should tell me what you're looking for. I have NO idea what I'm going to do with so many vintage toys.

I need to pick the meaningful ones and sell or donate the rest.

Oh I had several pound puppies! And puppy in my pocket. Anything puppy or horse related, I wanted it. Or dinosaurs too. I had a pretty neat dino collection.

Plus using websites like Swagbucks. I currently have $25 worth of Amazon giftcards, which takes less than 5 minutes a day, and you can buy pretty much anything off Amazon.
How secure is the Swagbucks site? It sounds like a cool thing to do, but I don't want to get my identity stolen or anything, you know?

Ooooh, and Breyer horses. Definitely had a collection of those as well.
I still have a lot of Breyer horses. I also used to collect "Grand Champion" model horses but I don't have those anymore. Breyer is way better.
I also have a Breyer model of a Border Collie. :D

I still collect Pokemon cards. Yeah, I know. I kick ass. :p

I had a Pound Puppy but I lost it. :(

I'll jump back to the original subject.... ;)

We have the "entitlement" problem at work. Yes, the company I work for is a really good one to work for, and you can definitely work your way up, but you have to earn it - it's NEVER given. I've run across that attitude of "well, I've worked here for so and so years, and I know this much....I deserve it."

It didn't take me very long to discover what my company wants in a leader, so I'm now above the people who think like this, and now hold grudges against me, since I haven't worked there as long and they *think* they know more than I do. :)

My family was never really broke, but my parents are frugal, so I had a job by the time I was 12. If I wanted something, I had to save the money for it. If I didn't earn the promotion/recognition, I didn't want it.

I was raised to be an over-achiever and work hard for everything, so the attitude of entitlement I see every day at work really irks me.

Oh yes I had popples

and wuzzles lol
Dude! I always wanted a popple sooo bad, but my mom would never get me one. Last year I found one at a garage sale so I got it. :rofl1: Aurelia loves it too.

I've been passing on my vintage toys to Aurelia as she gets old enough for them. So far she's been getting my little ponies, and stuffed animals. The breyer horses are for later. :)

I feel entitled, after paying over $1000 for a class, to have the **** ebook work when I go to open it.

Yes, I do feel entitled to that, since I paid for it and it should work without having to spend 30 minutes on the phone with technical support :)

I have a box of plush carebears, and tons and tons of my little ponies. I started selling some of them online because I literally have 200+ :yikes:
If you have an Applejack in at least fair condition, I will buy her off you. I have an applejack already, but she has no tail. :(
