I was wondering what the value of these three little stickers I have are.  The one on the Baby Cuddles has that brown like mark on it, but I have no idea if that was factory or some sort of other age mark.  It has always been that way.  The Moonstone sticker is on a different backing, but it is still sticky.  Are these worth anything?  How much?

Okay so I wanted to know, I searched the Houston data online about restricted items at the airline my husband will be flying out of.  I went through the entire list.  It says it is okay to take a cd player on the plane in a carry on.  What it doesn't tell me is if DVD's or Blue Ray movies are safe to put in a carry on?  I have two box series sets for gifts that need to go on the plane with him.  I don't want TSA to ban them and then he loses 50.00 dollars worth of gifts.  I can't find anyone that can tell me if these boxed sets of CD movies are safe for the carry on.  It is so frustrating.

Also does anyone know if it will damage DVD's to subject them to the metal detectors?  Should we just tell the TSA agent ahead of time that these are in the bag and not let them be scanned but just searched?

I have no idea who to even call..the airport?  The airline?  So lost.
I never travel by plane, but R2 has to go on a trip in a month to see his family.  I would appreciate any help.

I was going through some of my boxes upstairs. They are not subjected to light or anything bad.  This pony was not stored up against anything.  I had her in an open zip lock bag.  One whole half of her has turned green.  She wasn't like this last year. I had her out and I remember her being in perfect condition.    In fact I have always had her stored in the same place.  Has anyone seen this kind of aging before?  Cheap plastic for this pony? What in the world happened?  She is ruined.

I got American Girl doll Z Yang for a gift.  I was looking so forward to her but the quality of her wig is terrible.  Her hair is in pigtails.  The problem is if you take her hair down there is not enough hair in the wig to cover the back of her head.  This is just unacceptable for a company like this.  I have had other AG dolls with braids that had a thick full wig so they could wear their hair down.  I am really upset that AG has gone so low as to cost the same but put out poor quality dolls.  Then the sewed on underwear is just awful.  I thought they decided not to do that. I am just really not happy.  I will not be buying any more of their dolls.  This has just ended my love with AG forever.  Once you see a quality issue like this, it will be spread across the whole line in one way or another.  The customer will be paying so much for items that are worth a whole lot less.  What a shame.
The other issue is the doll does not have eyes that match in size.  I was told by my husband that none of the Z dolls in the store had the same size eyes.  He should not have bought her like that.  The left eye is normal and the right eye is smaller and it is quite noticeable.  This is the first time ever I have been disappointed with an AG purchase.  It is sad that this is a doll line that now may not be worth what people are spending.

A Day Before Harvey Hit

Okay so I saw this one of a kind lot of something on ebay that I really wanted.  I contacted the seller before purchasing it because, I knew we were going to have bad weather here in Houston from Harvey.  I wanted to ask them if I could purchase it and they hold it until our mail was up and running again.  I was expecting that to only be like a week.  I also assured her that unless I lost my wifi I would contact her periodically to let her know when to ship them.  The seller agreed she would be glad to hold my items until I could receive mail.  So I purchased and paid for the lot.

Well, even though we knew it was going to be bad, none of us knew it would be this bad.  Postal services have been suspended in our city for most zip codes until further notice.    Yesterday I contacted her as I promised to do.  I told her that the storm was really bad and, we still have no postal service in the city.  I explained I needed her to hold them until next week and maybe it would be running then.  The whole city is under water.  So, then she suggests maybe she should refund me and relist. 

This kind of upset me because I contacted her ahead of time and asked if it would be too much trouble to hold things and she said it was fine.  She does not operate an ebay store.  So, I told the seller not to refund me.  I explained that I really want the lot very much and was looking so forward to getting it.  If she has to mail it, I might not get it, but I released her from holding them any longer if it was becoming too much trouble for her.  At this point seller says "no problem, I will just hold them."

I guess I am really stressed out right now.  We have gone through a lot over here.  I am worried she won't give me the time I need when she agreed to in the beginning.  I will be very disappointed if she cancels the sale and I guess there is nothing I can do. I had no idea things in my city would be this bad. I think the magnitude of it is hard to imagine. I don't want to be a problem for this seller.  I would have no problem holding something a couple of weeks for a buyer especially if I found out they were in this kind of situation.

What are your thoughts?  I need advice on what to tell her.  Do I just tell her to ship them when I know I won't get them?  These items can't be bought again ever.  They are one of a kind and antique.  They will not probably arrive for a long time if ever with things like they are?  Is it wrong for me to be slightly upset that I took the time to ask if this would be a problem and they assured me it would not and now I feel like it might be?  Or am I just getting emotional and misunderstanding this seller's intentions?  Maybe they were trying to be accommodating of me in a bad situation and I am taking it the wrong way?  Now I just feel all nervy about the fact they are having to hold my items a bit longer when I thought things were fine.  Maybe they still are.  I don't know.  Was it just plain stupid of me to purchase something before a storm? 

Talk to me...

How did you feel about the recent Beauty and The Beast film?  I really liked it and I wasn't expecting too.  My R2 loves Beauty and the Beast.  It is his favorite Disney aside from Star Wars which is only a recent Disney thing anyway.  So, I basically watched it for him but, when it was over I really was happy with it.  I had no feelings one way or the other about the actresses and actors because most of what they have been in I have not seen.  I loved the Beast and the song he sang Evermore.  I loved the characters all except for Garderobe.  For some reason I found her annoying.  I did not get to see this film in the theater and just saw it about two weeks ago on pay per view.  I loved the costuming and set design as well as, the computer graphics of Castle characters.

The only sheer disappointment I have is in the sound track music.  They did a horrible job with it.  The voices are not easy to hear because, the orchestra is too loud. Boo Disney redo it!!!

Share your thoughts?  I didn't know if a thread had been started just wondering for Beauty and the Beast fans how you felt.
