i've never really dealt with bullying from men and honestly its a little scary for me.  I stood up to him and am hoping that it will stop for now.  Its been going on somewhat since we moved in but lately its gotten worse.

thank you everyone for the support.   the pony photos are so lovely.  i'm so happy that we all have a wonderful group of people to talk to when life gets rough.

808pony, it always makes me so happy that children today can enjoy the same toys that we loved as a child

Definitely the Big Brother and Mountain Boys

I didn't have any when I was growing up and i didn't like them when i first started collecting.  I never thought I would own any. 

But after seeing so many lovely photos here they started growing on me. Now i have a couple of Big Brothers and four Mountain Boys   I plan to get the rest at some point.

My boyfriend and I have a ton of old textbooks from our's and his parents' college days.  They range in age from the 80s maybe 70s? through the early 2000s. Mostly business.  Right now they are taking up space on a bookshelf we would really like to use for books we actually plan on reading. 

I need these books out of my life but i have no idea how to get rid of them. 

I've done some research online and it seems that no one is interested in old text books.  I don't feel right about just throwing them away and i don't have time to sell them on ebay or anything like that.  I'm pretty sure they wouldn't sell anyway.  Most of them are pretty dated.

Does anyone have any idea or suggestions about what I can do with them?

For me Baby Buttons has been so hard to find without cancer.  She's still cute though

Hard to find ponies I've been searching for for years showing up as soon as i've spent my pony budget

Snuzzle It sounds sweet and snuggly. Like a bunny

I want to comple my Mountain Boys set. I only need Torando and Sunburst. I also need to complete my TAF babies, wingers, so softs, and dutchies. My long term goal is to eventually have all non nirvana g1s plus all German and Dutch ponies. I have a long way to go

I prefer them to be factory sealed but i'm not really that picky.  If their heads turn that is fine. I don't remove their heads unless they have tail rust and grime inside. 

I did have a couple of ponies that had really bad tail rust and needed to be cleaned.  Their heads were impossible to remove without cutting through the inner neck ring.  It was almost like the inside of their necks had melted together.  In that case i either had to live with the tail rust and grime or cut the head off and glue it back on after cleaning the inside and replacing the tail washer.  I really hate tail rust so i cut them open.  They still look great on display though
