Wow, good call, so what do I owe you? I somehow don't see the kids of today sitting still long enough to use those. They don't compete with pc's, the web, or even cd's

I had one too....I liked it...I was a kid right before computers hit it big....

As a teacher, I can personally attest to the validity of this statement.

I'm almost embarrassed to say how many times I put the same fricking disc back in ----- as though the Pics would ever change.

I had paper dolls of all kinds. My aunts gave me all their movie star paper dolls from the 40's & 50's. I wish I still had them. I also loved my bicycle. I grew up in a small town & we would be on our bikes from sunup-sundown in the summer time. My other favorite past time was playing dress up. We would raid our mom's closet for old dresses, high heels,etc. I was totally amazed when my niece showed me the dress up kits you can buy at toy stores. The biggest part of the fun was putting together our outfits to look like mom.

So how come my slinky would always get one link twisted with the other and I could never fix it

thanx for showing me how old I am now.

That wasn't my point...my point was to bring back a bit of the good ole days...when we all had a grand time...and to share our memories...

In payment.....I would like a retraction of your "shrinky dicks" comment. Don't be afraid of me......just go to sleep.

I personally own 4 Viewmasters.......the original, old fashioned red ones. I have an array of disks, as well. I don't know if the red ones are still manufactured.....but I know that there is a new and improved version out there.....3D and sound, I think?

Know what? Kids still love them. Even, my 18 yr old daughter still gets a kick out of them...........then again.......we didn't raise her with video games in the house. Poor thing had to make do with ...gasp!....books!

[Silverluna]

Black Cherry Kool Aid!!! *puts on her dress up clothes* (looky what i found in momma's closet...why does she have a whip and some weird lacy pajamas!?)

 

[Horny Hippie Girl]

My favourites were My little pony, barbies, lil' people, my hoolahoop, hello kitty, cabage patch kids, and my sit-n-spin. Guess I was pretty girlie back then too.

 

[BustyTheClown]

Hehe, fun thread. I loved my Glow-worm, my Teddy Ruxpin (I can't remember if that's how it was spelled), and most of my stuffed animals. I played with Barbies, but ended up mutiliating them after I began going through puberty because she was too "perfect," lol. Lincoln Logs were great, and Legos, too! Building stuff was awesome.

 

[Silverluna]

Oh HELL YES! GLOW WORMS!!!

And Legos ruled....I had a cabbage patch doll too...

Ever still get burned?

It's been packed away for years. Last time I used it was to make a couple of small custom parts, and by then experience had tought me how not to get burned.

(Yes, folks, I am living proof that given sufficient time, *anyone* can be trained.)
