However, when I saw his article in AOL News I wanted to send him a Dolly Oscar or 'Friend of he Community Award'
The man came through on his promise. This is the kind of press we need

I would have preferred they not use that thumb for my trailer LOL

Thanks for the positive feedback. It means a lot to Midiman and spurs him onr4m wrote:BTW, he says the link is to TDF, but it is actually to your Doll Chronicles site. On the bright side, I haven't been over there in a while, and I think I'll check it out.
Cheers,

Probably even more for all we know. Not all who have a doll join in with us but that is okay. Owners from all 3 doll sites are married and/or have families. Wives,children and even grandchildren. I am happily married with a wonderful perfect wife and 3 sweet children of my own. My wife and I can do just fine without the dolls"Actually, it's not like that at all," he said. "My research suggests that about 34 percent of the people who buy them are married. I'd compare buying one of these to buying a car or a boat.
Still, he says that the dolls can fill a void in people's lives.
single men who have these use them as a place holder in a relationship,"
I think he should be able to have his wish.Then there are other cases, such as the 19-year-old man who suffers from a degenerative neurological illness and will probably never see 40.
"He may likely lose the mobility he would need to handle a doll within the next five years," Hockey said. "He has interest in buying a doll to address his sexual needs as well as to share the camaraderie of the doll community.
But why? It is what he wants.His parents will not have it and have indicated if he purchases the doll he will have to leave.
Well..... Love is generous.because his family do not understand dolls
I don't read the comments, because for the most part, they are only emotional responses by immature individuals with low self esteem and feeling threatened by their own sexuality.MelodyLuvr wrote:Hi Midiman,
Very good article! (Probably the most "impartial" article I've seen...well balanced). But of course, there are the comments below it.

There isn't much that can replace sharing the same enjoyment and enthusiasm with like minds. So yeah it is like owning a motorcycle,boat,car,etc.

Thanks for putting out a positive spin on dolls David MoyeIt is highly appreciated but the only disadvantage is that the AOL video in your article links to "Weird news" when in fact it is nothing of the sort. This community covers every single demographic one can think of. So..... That in itself would make all of America weird. LOL. And the cool thing about it is that we all have different situations but we all enjoy the same thing. Dolls are cool and so are the people here.
Thanks Dave(Midiman) for getting this story to someone who has tact.
