Way back in the dark ages there was a doll called Chatty Cathy. You pulled a ring on her back which was attached to a cord. The cord flipped the voice box deep within her torso.

The only time I ever played with dolls was when I was playing school. I'd line them up in front of my little blackboad and I'd teach them whatever was going through my head that particular day, LOL.

Still finding my feet after the divorce.

Practicalities being easier to grasp, I’ve got a handle on my budget. Now I’m facing the surmountable, albeit daunting, task of simplifying the heck out of my half of a 5K sqft houseful of our belongings to fit into a 400 sqft studio apartment in such a way as to not overwhelm me with sheer stuffness.

Everything else is fuzzier and will likely end up in Idol. 😊

Tag. You’re it.

Purge, purge, purge. It's they only I know of to attack all that, given the drastic size reduction. What can't fit and what you want to keep goes to storage. Or ex housemates have done a very similar dance ever since they left here. They're currently in the biggest apt they've had so far and discovered they had to get a new bed and kitchen set, lol. All second hand, they fit lovely, they can sell them if and when they move again. They've gotten quite ruthless because of all the moves.

Me? I lost my baking position after my foot surgery two years ago (I was out for almost six months and they had to give away the position). I laterally transferred to Prepared Foods where I'm the pizza/sub queen. Drastically, drastically different vibe.

The Chatty Cathy tie-in works really well here.

As for the nosiness issue, go you!

Thanks! I have no idea what made me think of it, tbh. I was never a doll lover. They either were my students or I pitched them into the closet, lol.

I was not much of a 'doll baby' child either. I treated some of my stuffed toys like babies when I was really little (2 or 3 maybe), but I was more about stuffed animals or Barbies having adventures. I did have a sister less than 1 1/2-years younger, so that might have taken the 'shine' off of the baby idea. ;)
