Hi, I am Teddy Bear. A stuffed animal with a bow tie and soft fuzzy fur all over. I was locked in a 53 foot cargo container forever and was rescued today by a nice man who goes by the name of Cabin\_Fever. Little does he know exactly what cabin fever means, but I should cut him some slack since he rescued me, and gave me to his friend who LOVES stuffed animals. I am pretty sure I have a new happy home here. I just didn’t like the Lysol disinfectant aerosol spray-bath and I am concerned about this feline named Mister Whiskers who is looking at me with a meow, meeow, reooow. Should I be worried? (Yes stuffed bears can type and use the internet. I plan on paying for membership here as soon as I get my VISA card. Stuffed bears get a discount at many places [so I hear if accompanied by a real human]. I may need help reaching the mailbox however). ---

I would absolutely watch out for “Mister Whiskers”. Unless he just wants to cuddle. That’s probably it. Probably. Do you have any pictures? I’m sure your rescuer knew that was coming. 😉 ---

Is your name Ted? I saw your movies. ---

Dang gosh darn it Teddy Bear. If you can type - create your own account. And don’t let Mister Whiskers dance across my keyboard again. If I get banned it will fall upon you to explain to the MODS that it wasn’t really me. I know Mister Whiskers has a Yahoo account. Evil and cunning, don’t follow that path. ---

Once you get your account set up you should start an “Ask the Teddy Bear” thread. ---

Hello from Cabin\_Fever. Sorry for Teddy Bear using my account to post his happy, and Mister Whiskers prancing on my keyboard (who somehow knows my password to Win10). I will contact The Powers That Be to see if a stuffed bear can create an account here and post Mundane and Pointless posts about daily life. I had advised him not to post in GQ, GD, and stick to MPSIMS, where there might be other stuffed bears there. In the meantime, rest assured that Teddy Bear is safe and sleeping soundly on the couch after watching The Worst Movie Of All Time on TV and is snuggled up with roommate. Just a warning…Teddy Bear snores like a cow. ---

Yep, yep. Better for all concerned if if’s the bear. Sure his name isn’t “ted”?
