Need Puppy Prayers
by Karla 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

Hi all, My little toy poodle had to have his teeth cleaned on Thursday night - he had bad teeth and we don't know why or where he got it because he comes from a long line of Champions - he was as the Vet all day and when we picked him up Thursday night we were shocked to find out that they took out 14 teeth. My husband and I were so stunned!! The Vet said alot of the teeth were so loose they were already half out. He now has 15 teeth left and he is only 7-1/2 yrs. old. It just breaks our hearts because now he is on several medications for pain and an antibiotic. I am so worried about him losing more teeth although the Vet said that is unlikely if we keep "on top of it." He has to go back in 3 months. "Giorgio" doesn't know what is going on and he keeps licking the outside of his mouth - we have him on chicken soup for the next few days. I would greatly appreciate any prayers for my little guy. Thanks so much, Karla

Way OT..the flu
by Pat Hawkins 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

You've probably read or heard that one of the major flus going around is a return of the Asiatic flu, which is prob. the B virus & there's also some A viruses going around. This 1st one tho is making people very sick. My granddaughter had it & it's not a 24 or 48 hr. thing but about twice that long & leaves you achy after...so if you get it, stick around the house away from people for longer than just 48 hrs. Now's not the time to drag yourself to work, half dead & exposing other people. Granddaughter Sarah also had a bad headache , hi fever, eyes hurt, everything ached , was hard to get her to eat or drink & the drinking fluids, more than normal, is essential. Tho John & I have taken care of her thru this , we didn't get it , & that means we either had it before or were prevented from getting it by getting a flu shot , which we always do...also the Dr. suggested her brother , parents & us get a prescription for Tamiflu which is taken 2 x a day for 5 days per pill. This either prevents it altogether or if you get it, it won't last as long. The poor children have to take it in lower liquid doseages & it's the most vile tasting stuff imaginable. It's expensive tho. Many schools have closed down here for a few days , hoping to let it run its course & to thoroughly clean the school I feel all of us should take the flu vaccine each year. They used to make the stuff with live viruses & you could get sick after a shot....but now they make it with dead viruses so it's impossible to get the flu from taking the shot. If you do get the flu , it's probably because you were already exposed to it & coming down with it anyway & it still might be milder for having the vaccine. If you haven't had a vaccine as yet you might consider asking your Dr. about getting one...this is a bad flu. Pat H.

Wanted: Barbie shoes
by Choic4guys＠aol.com 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

Hello, I just got back from TRU where I saw several Barbie shoes that I do not have in my collection. I do not collect modern Barbie, and rarely collect modern Barbie clothing BUT I do collect the shoes. There are about five or six different Fashion Avenue Accessory Bananza sets, there was about one pair of shoes in each set that I wanted. LOL I am not interested in anything but those specific shoes though so I didn't want to pay $30 for all the sets just to end up with five or six pairs of shoes that I wanted. There are other shoes that I want to, too many to mention. So, if any of you would be willing to sell some Barbie shoes please let me know what you have and how much you want. I'm fair and am willing to pay a little bit for them but I can't pay $5.00 per pair. No pink shoes please! Thank you, Randall

Pat, I can't give you an answer based on personal observation since I haven't actually seen any of the dolls except for Lush Life. I can tell you that based on the quality of the Lush Life fashion, the furs should be top notch in quality. They have not cut any corners on these dolls. They are fabulous!!!! Thanks!

I am actually a fan of real furs ... I know, there is so much opposition to the fur industry ... rightfully so but there's not much faux that is as luxurious. I've wanted a Lazarus mink for my dolls for so long ... of course seeing the ones on Barbie Bazaar sparked my interest even further! You all know the company Ty (that makes beanie babies). They produce a line of stuffed animals called Beanie Buddies. Basically they are larger versions of beanie babies. Anyhow, the buddies are made of a faux fur called "Tylon". It is very nice quality! I have often thought of buying one and cutting it apart to make my dollies a fur. I used to have a pattern for a fur coat that was very simple but I've lost it over the years. Anybody have a good pattern???? Shame on me, I know. Being a designer I should make my own patterns but my expertise now lies in the full size clothing and I just get too frustrated when I make doll clothes from concept to creation. However, I have made a few outfits lately from premade patterns (only because they were perfectly fitted). Randall

Basic candis
by Mroczko 12 Feb '03

12 Feb '03

HI all, Got my order from Suzanne yesterday! Yippee. I got two of the Basic Candis the Violet one, and Burning Blaze. The violet one has the Russian head mold, and this is the first one of those I have had. Not sure if I like the squareness of the jaw, but the wonderful purple hair is sooo cool. Not sure what I will dress her in, but for now she is in the white capris and the white bikini like top from the weekender sets. The Burning Blaze has these amazing streaks in her hair. It is a bright red and a copper penny sort of orange. When I first opened her I wasn't sure I was too crazy about it, but I took off the plastic and brushed it out, and it is just wonderful. Her lipstick is a little more brown than I would have chosen, and I may repaint the lips, but for now I dressed her in the plaid shorts from the AA weekender sets, and that is just perfect for her. I will post a pic in the next day or two after I get my computer back, and can use my camera. Thank goodness for my little laptop, or I would be e-mailess when the big one is getting serviced. Have I ever mentioned how much computers annoy me? LOL As far as the Fashion Royalty pics. Wow! Can't wait to get mine, and I must order that wonderful black dress. Does it come in my size? Of course, I have no where to wear such a thing, but I would have fun dreaming. Guess that is what dolls are for! Kathy M. Kathy Mroczko Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO mroczko(a)verinet.com
