Nice if the fluffy item gives you comfort. All I need is a red acetate-fleece blankie -- myself.

But the NPR link also included warnings about congressional moves toward defunding NPR.

THAT . . . . is more ALARMING . . . than COMFORTING.

I guess Nero wasn’t the last to ignore things. On the one hand I despise people so shallow as to become product fan crazed. On the other I have a large collection of Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch dolls acquired unintentionally. Hard to hate kids for whom such things mean way too much. I remember looking at toy catalogs as a child.

I feel truly sorry for kids today, and shouldn't need to elaborate.

To be honest, I snagged the Sears Roebuck catalogs as a child, so I could look at the section with women's legs adorned with nylon stockings.

I was always looking in the bra section.

Never ever been into dolls of any kind. Except the ones with beating hearts and blood running through their veins.
