I just came across this accidentally while in e-Bay and I had a great time just looking at all their beautiful,deboxed and some redressed dolls! They even have some dolls modeling fashions and some dolls in their original designs (lingerie sets)...very lovely! Good night all!

As far as I know, Mikel and Pauls new Charice and friends WILL BE a REALITY, the molds have been made for the friends headmolds and the New Charice body mold has been made, just the headmold for the new Charice doll has been the hangup. The Friends headmold were ALL sculpted by Sandra Billoto and Mikel himself is doing the sculpting on the new Charice head! I am only speaking from my own personal experience here with Mikel and Paul but I fro one have NEVER had a problem with them and believe me I have purchased ALOT from them and INtegrity both! While I may not agree with SOME of the things that have happened in the last several years(concerning Paul and Mikel) here and will not fault anyone individual, because I think there is MUCH, WAY TOO MUCh actually that EVERYBODY DOES NOT KNOW about all that happened!! I DONT THINK that Paul and MIKEL need to be made out to be such devils incarnate EITHER!! Later Kevin

Fw: [PaulsPals] Helena Hamilton

Thought you all might be interested... Melissa ----- Original Message ----- From: mikebarbie To: PaulsPals(a)yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 12:22 PM Subject: [PaulsPals] Helena Hamilton Surprisingly, a recent survey states that an astonishing number of Americans are less kind to each other since September 11th. 2001. Today Paul David & MiKelman took the first step towards mending their relationship with Helena Hamilton of Hamilton Toys and the Candi doll. After a tragic split from each other in 1998, Paul picked up the phone and called Helena Hamilton who talked with Paul David at great length and agreed to put the past behind and work on a new business relationship with a better understanding of each other's needs. I guess sometimes time is all we need. The rub is that time is something we usually don't have enough of. I hope each and every one who reads this message will grasp that time is a precious commodity none of us can replenish. You can always get another doll, another car, another job, home, or a new fashion, but the time you have here on Earth is a one-shot deal. Let's try to spend it wisely.

Interesting... how will this progress, I wonder?! Melissa Hello everyone! We have included a new CANDI doll page at www.mikelman.com/candi.htm featuring the CANDI doll by Hamilton Designs. We hope to bring you the latest CANDI information and products available from Hamilton Designs! This is VERY EXCITING NEWS for everyone involved including Paul David, MiKelman and Helena Hamilton! There is excitement, exhilaration and enthusiasm in the air this spring in the Alexander/Wrightsel household and it is because we are eagerly anticipating the reintroduction of CANDI to our customers. Will there be future MiKelman CANDI dolls? Will there be Paul David & MiKelman exclusives? Will we see the return of the many faithful CANDI doll fans that have inquired about the doll over the last five years? My answer to all of the above is only time will tell and I hope so!

Just a mother poem.
by June Narber 19 Apr '02

19 Apr '02

All I can say about this poem is it was circulated to death in the Christian community last year, esp. the churches I'm affiliated with. While I understand its attraction to women who are mothers, I find it insulting against women who have spent half of their adult lives acquiring higher education and who work 40-70 hours a week in a professional career verses staying at home with children. I think we have to respect all kinds of women, but my current pet peve are stay at home mothers who think themselves superior to women who work full time in professional careers. Mothers are demanding respect and want esteem for what they do; yet the career woman faces continued backlash from not only men who resent here incredible career accomplishments, but from her own gender who I believe, resent what she represents: a challenge to the long held role of women: as mother and housekeeper. I am not a mother. I choose not to be. And frankly, I am no longer afraid to say publically, I am glad I am not a mother. I used to be so afraid to say what I really believe. I faced years of ridicule, discrimination, and outright persecution in all the Christian circles for being a career woman. So, whoever wrote that poem, quit trying to make what you do sound glamorous. It isn't. That why a lot of us are saying thanks but no thanks. -- ******************************************************* June Narber AKA June Narber Harrison jnarber(a)hercurian.com June's Natural Healing Path www.hercurian.com/juneshealingpath/index.htm Mailing address: 6325-9 Falls of Neuse Road, #193, Raleigh, NC 27615 Voice mail: (919) 839-6930 *********************************** Reflections, January 2002 "Cycles" *********************************** All things begin, therefore all things must end.

Re: O.T. Just A Mother? Excuse Me???
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 18 Apr '02

I hope you enjoy this. I think it has most likely been around a long time ago but perhaps full time mothers need reminding of their "title", :-)! Suzanne << .. I'm Just a Mother? Excuse Me??? A few months ago, when I was picking up the children at school, another mother I knew well rushed up to me. Emily was fuming with indignation. "Do you know what you and I are?" she demanded. Before I could answer (and I didn't really have one handy) she blurted out the reason for her question. It seemed she had just returned from renewing her driver's license at The County Clerk's office. When asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation, Emily had hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. "What I mean is," explained the recorder, "do you have a job, or are you just a.....? "Of course I have a job," snapped Emily. "I'm a mother." "We don't list 'mother' as an occupation...'housewife' covers it," said the recorder emphatically. I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high-sounding title like "Town Registrar" or "Official Interrogator." "And what is your occupation?" she probed. What made me say it, I do not know. The words simply popped out. "I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations." The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair, and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly, emphasizing the most significant words. Then I stared with wonder as my pompous pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. "Might I ask," said the clerk with new interest, "just what you do in your field?" Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, "I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters (the whole darned family) and already have four credits (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are in satisfaction rather than just money." There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants - ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (6 months) in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt triumphant! I had scored a beat on bureaucracy and I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than "just another mother!" Motherhood...what a glorious career. Especially when there's a title on the door. >>
