Play time!

After you hit post reply, type whatever it is you want to type. Just below the subject line in the "post a reply" box are lots of gray buttons that will change the font to bold, italics, etc. "Font Colour" is 12th from the left. If you click on it, lots of colors will come up. Then, using the cursor, highlight the text you want to change. Click on a color. Codes will pop up, and after you post, you will see the color.

Hope that helped!

Yes, my mood is remarkably better the past few days, though there are always ups and downs. I actually attributed it to flax seed. Yeah, maybe, but happy littles, all giggly and perky inside, has a definite positive effect that can't be denied. Just as angry but athletic Dan returning recently has gotten the body out and moving. I need to empower them, even more than I have. I've never felt washed out (like a depleted host) but I often feel washed up. I'm so jaded and grumpy and cynical compared to these young folks. Interesting, Watcheroflights, that child play is good for the non-DID adult soul. I guess I never thought of that, but if you consider Disney World, adults outnumber children.

I'm headed to a toy store shortly. I can feel the excitement inside building, it's overwhelming, like Christmas morning but multiplied 5 to 7 times. I myself am wavering between meh and wanting to avoid the whole thing. Still I know I must do this. It could get expensive and harnessing the excitement of so many non-adults in the body at one time is kind of terrifying me. I know I won't be able to control the face appearing "little" with emotion and it might be hard to control the body. I guess when they're triggered -- toys being a good trigger! -- my alters do know how to fight me for the body. I need to keep that in mind when I want them to come into the body. Good triggers exist too, at least in my thinking.

Mine too. A toy shop being one of them!

Well, for most of my littles it was a great trigger. Some very happy faces. For Little John, several of us encouraging him inside to choose whatever toy he wanted was a negative trigger. His method of avoiding conflict with the DID mother's bad alter was never to require anything, never to ask for anything. We got him finally to accept a toy that matched the ones the twins chose but it was quite difficult for him.

I kept wondering if the faces of the littles that I'm sure were popping up looked strange and I had the most bizarre thought. Do people who work in toy stores understand there might be other reasons for an adult to visit other than buying toys as a gift. Sort of like women's lingerie store salespeople might be used to certain men lighting up when they hold up undergarments which they're buying "for their girlfriend" who just happens to wear their own size. Okay, sorry to turn play time into crossdressing. Must be Quato's payback for making him do the toy shopping yesterday. I don't guess he's into that but he enjoys kinky.

LOL that really made me laugh.

I'm glad you all managed to encourage Little John to get something.

Having completely switched into Alice in a toy shop before if i worked in a toy-shop i think i'd be quite aware of instances like this happening in other people - BUT - ask me that years ago and I would be like... nah... why would adults go into a toy shop for any other reason than they have kids or are buying a gift?

But then, individuals with learning disabilities or whatever may go into a toy shop and look like an adult so....

who knows!!
