: About Me

Lindy Laker has a passion for writing! Whether it be relative to her importing/wholesale business, fiction, poetry or the rural newspaper for which she was the responsible reporter for some years.
Sometimes quirky, sometimes serious Lindy does not believe a writer needs to use words with multiple syllables to express whatever needs to be said. She enjoys 'painting a picture', making the reader 'see' and 'feel' her perspective, particular where the topic is open to descriptive expression.
Currently, most of Lindy's time is shared between running her eBay business which started with very meager beginnings and now employs her husband and casual staff, enjoying time with her family, breeding Great Dane puppies and of course, writing!
The next project Lindy is working on, is an education program for Beginners to the business of Online Selling, something she has been involved in for many years, with a business background in Sales, Marketing and Advertising for 20 years prior.

Hobbies & Games > Dolls & Action Figures The difference between dolls and action figures

3 of 5

My first, quick interpretation of the difference between dolls and action figures was that I considered dolls were a toy to be played with by girls while action figures were toys played with by boys. Sexist I know, but never the less, my preconceived impression. Simple, no real difference in the toy itself, just a difference in the name given decided upon dependent upon the gender playing with the toy. Interestingly, with some research and digging in various dictionaries, my simple interpretation was confirmed as accurate. The best description I could find was in the Webster's New Millenni...
