"dianamo, your dolls are amazing. I once watched a documentary about dolls. A grandmother so grieved the loss of her grandson after the divorce of her son and daughter-in-law, the mother taking the child miles out of state, that she commissioned a doll in the exact likeness of her grandson. That way she could still have him with her. I wasn't sure what to make of it, except to each his own. If it makes her happy, I can't seem the harm. " I saw that documentary, too. Through the grapevine on a doll board I belong to, I have heard that the lady in that documentary now makes reborn dolls herself. And is very good at it! And the young girl that made the doll to look like that womans grandson got a lot of orders for dolls that she wasn't able to fullfil. She ended up going bankrupt and still owes a lot of money people put as downpayments on dolls she promised to make.

No, it's hearthstone castle...gillette's is still fine. Sounds like they are going to try to preserve a wall, but they have to figure out how much of a wall and how to stabilize it and how to keep it from becoming a climbing wall with associated dangers. But it will no longer be a building. As it is now, I can see how hazardous it is...looking inside, it's amazing the graffiti is in places where it is, and people have climbed inside and had to be rescued. The interior floors have completely collapsed and there's been a fire.
