Trips with Plushies Warmie Opossum Craig tested positive for explosives going through TSA 🥺

496 Upvotes

On a business trip headed home and my bag got pulled. Asked if I had "cake" in my bag and suddenly thought about my plush.

I've had to have my stuff swabbed before but it's never tested positive for anything, ive also flown with him multiple times.

They swab him and he tests positive for explosives???

So now all my stuffs getting taken out. Shoes off. Questions asked. Patted down.

They bring out the bomb guy and he's like "so I have to test what's inside of him"... Thankfully he was very nice about it, he opened on seam on his butt, and tested. And now all good.

Of course everyone had to get involved bc something was "happening". But y'all, lol. 40 min later because a 30 year old with a plushie is just trying to get home. I feel so bad if this had happened to someone younger who might not have understood what was happening.

No pic of Craigs new butt tuck, but he's already all sewn up bc I always carry a little mending kit with me.

Anyone else had this issue with a Warmie or weighted plush? I checked online and they aren't not allowed to fly, and the agents said they will have to test him again and to keep him pulled out of my bag for future travel.

Tdlr: Craig and me are on a watchlist now.

Plushie Restoration Melted butter all over plushie with voice box- help!!

Post image
80 Upvotes

hi friends!! I accidentally spilled melted butter all over my favoritest plushie of all time, and he has a voice box that still works after all these years. it's completely soaked into him and it's ALL OVER. please help- how can I get this out !! he's so greasy and smells so strongly of butter now :(

(I took butter with me camping, it melted in the car and I didn't realize it was leaking until it was too late. also, I know he's "ugly," but please don't make fun of him, he's really special to me.)

please help- how do I save him !!

EDIT: does anyone know of some plushie doctors who specialize in electronic toys? he's got a decent amount of wiring in him, and i called the only plushie doctor i know of but she can't help bc of the wiring. I can't bear the thought of not being able to hold him when I need him again, and I also can't bear the thought of sacrificing his voice box (though, if it comes down to it, i am willing to sacrifice his sonic screwdriver [the green thing] lighting up, which it also does.) he's literally the most sentimental object to me that i own. I'll do whatever it takes to save him !!

While I was at a furry convention in Minnesota, I came across this beautiful lit up park area at night and figured itd a fun place to set up some cute plushie photos. I had my sylveon Lily and my giraffe Sunny with me and the photoshoot quickly turned into a super cute date night between them. I had SO much fun setting these up. Def want to do more like this in the future.

So I was out shopping with my family yesterday afternoon and I came across this enormous cutie for less than $30 at Cook Brothers in the middle of the toy aisle🥹🥹🥹 I was cuddling it for a good five minutes out of pure bliss and was about to put it back after I had them take a picture to show my boyfriend (who also loves plushies as much as me 🤗) My mom made a point: "It might be gone if you come back for it next time." So I'm like "y'know what, might as well lol 😅" Her name is Synny🥰🥰 (don't mind the stuff in the background, was rearranging some things in my room)

My friend saw this hot dog plush at Macy’s and regrets not buying it that day. She hasn’t been able to find it again, and I haven’t had any luck either, so I figured I’d ask here.

Anyone have one they’d sell or know a listing where I could get one? Would love to surprise her with it.

Took my sister across town to five different thrift stores just to search for bears only got one bear from two of the stores but I’m not mad about it ☺️ about to spend a lot on a Charlie bear anyways

I’m very pleased about my third bearington collection bear she didn’t have her tags like the others unfortunately 💔 I decided to take off the dress I think her fur colour is too cute to hide and the hat and scarf are plenty even though I do love when they get little outfits I’ll hang onto it and maybe change my mind later

Pretty soon I’ll have to start clearing more shelf space

My dad's had this bull plush for as long as I can remember. I don't remember how he got this bull, but he's never going to leave. He will remain with me even after the day my dad is no longer with me.
What do y'all think about him? I think it's cute and goofy.

I found this picture on pinterest, and I fell in love with this plushie, and I really want to know where I can get this exact type. I looked in the comments of the post I saw, and no one else knew what brand it was from, either, so I really hope any of you guys know where I could possibly get this one (I want this specific type, if that makes sense. I can try elaborating if anyone gets confused, though.) Thank you to anyone who is willing to help! Also, I'm sorry if this is the wrong flair, I'm not sure which one is the most fitting for this type of post
