What a wonderful thing you have done!
I’m sorry it didn’t make a bigger dent in her stash!
Perhaps you could “challenge” her to another give-away!

Holy poop, that’s a ton of kitty crap! Glad you were able to donate it to a good cause and I’m sorry that it didn’t make a big dent. Maybe your wife will be willing to make another donation to an orphanage or school again soon.

Heck, donate more junk as holiday gifts!

Every once in a while I’d wonder if everything you’ve been saying about your wife’s HK obsession was entirely true…I don’t wonder any more! In all seriousness, that is a great thing you guys have done. Happy Holidays!

Maybe you can set up donations for Martin Luther King Day, Valentines Day, Presidents Day, Flag Day, Arbor Day… you’ll be free of HK by the end of the year, yes?

Wow, I’m so glad those are going to the kids! It’s very sweet that you’re choosing to donate to them. I find that really heartwarming, particularly at this time. I think I am reminded of “It’s a Wonderful Life”.

However, for some reason the devil in me wants me to set all those little bags alight for some reason.

@Acton: look up ’store’ in his archives… he wrote about it once…
I’ve been to her store…she’s got some cute stuff!
Anyway, I was proud to help the cause!
I hope all those little kids appreciate the hell you had to go through worrying about losing and having to take her on a trip!
(looking a picture and thinking to myself…’I could use some of those!’….I need help….)
Merry Christmas, Mr.HKH!

that is absolutely amazing! and you say that THIS didn’t make a dent?!

anyhoo, it’s a win-win:
- win for you because that’s 500 fewer HK pieces in your house.
- win for the kids because they’re all getting a little piece of HK love.

#24 Comment from yvaine

Wow, good job! I’m sure it won’t only put a smile on the kids’ faces, I’m thinking it would put a big evil grin on YOUR face… before you get to thinking about how much more HK stuff there is in your house that you want to get rid of, that is.

But it was really nice of you and your wife, I know a lot of collectors who wouldn’t even THINK of doing such a thing.

Happy Holidays (hopefully without more Hello Kitty)!

You know you could start giving away the duplicates, pretending you are taking them to work with you, but are really giving it away to some little kid or charity etc…

Then again your wife would want a picture of all the hello kitties with you in it. @.@ So better yet, just sneak them out.

That’s great that you’re donating all that to the orphanage, and I’m sure the kids will like it, (maybe not the boys…). You must be happy to have gotten rid of it, even if it didn’t make a difference, though. 1 small step at a time… maybe next year, you could make her give up 1 item for every comment, instead.

how come you survived all of this?! i just spent over 5 hours reading the stuff you wrote and posted, and merely reading it almost made me vomit in the hello kitty barf bag! you poor thing. i’d not be as tolerant and made your hello kitty führer sign the hello kitty divorce papers and sleep in the hello kitty hotel. but that’s just me, i suppose. i have a similar problem with my friend, that’s how i got to your page…

“smexi”?

This is not attacking you, is this some sort of new slang? I don’t know what country you are from, as I remember you are not a native English speaker.

#62 Comment from silentbob

here is my take if you are interested.
It is a great thing that you are donating toys for children to love given that they are lonely and need something to really give their love to.
Children are our future and if you can bring a smile to their faces it is all worth it. the down side is that you will be training a whole new generation to join the church of Sanrio. Their motto has always been leave your donations at the cash register.
never the less, well done

** yes you can be shocked… Silent bob said something good about the Evil K**

Merry Christmas to all

Not only is getting all that crap out of your house a good thing, but giving it to those kids makes it great.

You know all this time I rather thought you were exaggerating. I thought perhaps you just lumped together the HK items for that pic in your bathroom.

I’m a hello kitty fan….but i try to keep it to a min for the sake of my bf. the sad thing is that she ONLY got rid of stuffed animals. My bf read this and tried to get me to make a similar deal, sayin i had over 100 items, but we could only come up with about 50 items overall (a few he gave me and most are small). I have to say, as a girl, that hello kitty is very appealing to us, and so it really is hard to not love her.

I think most of these kids won’t associate HK with happiness, but with the few stuff they ever had in their lives when they were little.

And associate this with the crappy life they had.

I think you’ll get more people for your cause.

You should point out to your wife how hello kitty LOVES children, and just how generous hello kitty is! So “full of love, compassion, an generosity” that hello kitty herself would donate ALL the hello kitty items to the orphanage! To help those poor unfortunate children!! ((And you!!))
