      Mine won’t be here until next Wednesday – the torture! (Just kidding 😉 I’m used to UPS taking forever).

      When are everyone else’s ETAs? Can’t wait to see them start showing up.

      And yes, I think I marked a little over half of them, so I should hopefully be happy. There are only about 10-12 in the whole batch of 50-something that I really don’t like, so good odds (although the grab bag gods could pull a fast one on me, ha!).

        These are my picks – the single pink heart I’d be happy with, the double hearts I’d be thrilled with, and the triple hearts are my absolute faves and I’d be over the moon with, haha!

          Glad it looks like it’s fixed now!

          I got three Fantasy to attempt to increase my chances of getting one I really love. We’ll see how that goes, haha!

            I love the new Flion! I hope he eventually goes into production.

            Well, it’s May now 🙂 Any idea on when the GBYUs will hit the store (beginning, middle or end of month?)?

              I love the really bright ones in the front! Some nice looking rainbow zebras in the back too!

                I’m so relieved that all my paperwork/processing/insurance nonsense is complete and I am FINALLY getting my CPAP machine. I know, it’s nuts to be excited about getting sleep hooked up to a machine with a face mask, but I am on my very last legs and I need to sleep so badly.

                A little backstory: about a year ago my health took a pretty sharp decline. I am exhausted all the time. Not just tired. Like, I can BARELY make it to my job, I have to nap on my lunch break, and on many weekends I’ve spent 18 hours in and of sleep a day. But I’d still feel exhausted. I gained 50lbs despite not changing my diet. My blood pressure sky rocketed. I would get so tired I’d hallucinate. It’s been hell. All my blood work was normal. My hormones are nuts (Hello Menopause at 34!) but I am on replacement therapy for that. And then, I started waking up choking. Not coughing – choking, unable to get any air in my lungs. I started to think maybe I was just crazy and lazy. I had a lot of depression symptoms, but didn’t feel “depressed” so much as exhausted and bummed out that I couldn’t enjoy things I used to love doing. My new doc sent me on a sleep study and I was super relieved to find out I was not crazy or depressed. I had developed severe sleep apnea. Basically, I stop breathing when I fall asleep. In the study I did, I stopped breathing 46 times in the first hour. I don’t make it into deep sleep, so I can’t properly rest or heal up. The good news is, they make a machine that keeps air pressure through your mouth and nose, so you keep breathing all night. I should finally have my machine next week. It is a massive relief to know I’m not nuts, and I’m proud I’ve been able to keep working full time, even on the days I wasn’t really sure if I was awake or not. Relief is in sight!

                It’s insane cause I’m going through very similar things at the moment as well – super tired, can barely stay awake some days at work, falling asleep on the couch, at the movies, etc. (which is something I have never done in my life). Also feeling pretty depressed/down for no apparent reason other than exhausted all the time… Turns out I also have severe sleep apnea. So severe, apparently, that I took the home test literally last Friday and they fast-tracked me for a CPAP and I should have it this week. Fingers crossed that we both find relief and fast with these new gadgets. I know it’s going to take me awhile to get used to the full face mask (I’m a mouth breather). Trying it out today at the doctors was a weird experience – took me a few minutes to calm down and breathe normally haha!

                  I would dearly love a run of Grab Bag Cougars painted in wild cat colors/fantasy colors.

                  I was too young when the first batch came out and when I originally found this website and saw them my heart was full of envy and want.

                  Even if it was a small batch you could charge anything for them and I would get one.

                  Same-ish here – I missed the original batch and would love to see more.

                  Also interested in fantasy pebble horses.

                  And OMG that ponycorn is so adorable! Love it!

                    Yes, I’d like to do another one! Count me in 🙂

                      It’s a reflection of the opening of the photo cube/tent thing that I’m taking my pic through, I think! It does look kinda cool haha, but they are just normal eyes.

                          Thanks guys, sorry my photo is so huge!

                          Skylover, yours is beautiful!

                          Very nice grabs everyone.

                            Here’s mine. It was one of the ones I had marked as a fave so that’s cool. I like the red eyes.

                            I might be interested in purchasing another one if it’s significantly different than mine (or maybe partial trade + cash?). I really like the darker ones from the Wild batch (the two pictured especially) as well as some of the darker ones from the cool batch. I’ll put an ad up as well.

                              I was hoping to get another Wild one when and if the limit was lifted, but I missed it. Oh well. I got a Wild and I like pretty much all of them, so excited to see what I got!

                                my tracking still isn’t updating, Susie said it went out yesterday but it was a different guy than normal and she didn’t think he scanned them right then….

                                Yeah mine hasn’t had any scans either. Probably won’t until it hits the east coast in my case, haha.
