TOD: Books were always treasured above anything else. That said, I had this metal windup duck that I loved. I do believed I trashed mine, removing the cap that spun around, etc. But I have since found another, which I have kept in better shape.

Cute toy!

[Jane]

Meanwhile, in Norway...

Beautiful, and you told us where the photo was taken!

[Jane]

Ah, yes, board games!  My favorites, which I still have, were Careers, Go to the Head of the Class, and The Barbie Game.

I had all of those and as much as I hated Barbie dolls I liked the game very much.  You still have it, cool!

[Jane]

I do recall that I had a lot of stuffed animals when I was little and, one day, my mother decided that I had too many, so she called Good Will (or whatever was around at that time) and decided to donate some of them.

I was probably about four or five years old, and when the man came to take them away, I'm told that I said such a tearful goodbye to each and every one of the stuffed animals, my mother felt so guilty at what she had done that she went out and got me others to replace them.

That is a sad story but so sweet.  What a shame the man didn't offer to leave them.

[Jane]

I bought my mega millions tickets. Fingers are crossed! I need to bail my dad's company out of trouble, keep my family afloat, help out some friends in need, invest in a few friends' companies and projects, begin a lot of college scholarships, and record about 30-35 complete shows. That would make me very happy.

MEGA VIBES YOU WIN!!!!

You would really bail out your father's company-wow!

[Jane]

As soon as you win the lottery, DR Elmore, I will fly out to NYC and help you spend manage it. Because that is the kind of friend I am.

[Jane]

Funny story, DR Elmore!

DITTO!

[Jane]

DR Jrand & DR Ginny's Richard, I'm sorry about the losses.

[MBarnum]

DR Jane, how could you hate Barbie!






Did you feel the same about Midge, Ken, and all of their friends?

Whatever you do, do NOT watch TOY STORY 3, DR Druxy!   

[Jrand74]

Thank you, everyone.  I hadn't seen this particular friend in many years, but he was always an overachiever in school and went to school to be a pharmacist....then succumbed to the evils of drugs and alcohol....   I had heard he had turned his life around, but my brother was not sure that was the case....

[Jrand74]

When I was growing up between 8 years old and 12 years old, we lived way OUT in the country.....so there was no way to get to a library....and of course there were no home computers.

Board games and records were our great time passers.....and writing away for photos from movie stars and waiting on the mail.  We loved Chinese Checkers, Clue, Monopoly, Careers, and of course card games.

We also liked flip sides of records, because some of them were instrumentals, and we would make up lyrics to the songs and sing them.....

[Jrand74]

That is quite a story DR DRUXY.....but a hard way to get new stuffed animals.

Nice interview with Julie and Richard Sherman in USA TODAY if you can get past the annoying video at the top of the page.

Nothing is happening here.  Another of my classmates from my high school graduating class has passed away....

Sad to hear, DR JRand.  Richard just heard some similar news from his class.

I'm sorry to hear this about both Jrand's and Richard's classmates.

Richard and I were classmates and when I saw the photo of the deceased with the obituary, I had no idea who she was!

[bk]

Had some chicken tenders, which, after one bite, I sent back - they were just yucky - a first.  Instead I had a ham and Swiss on rye and no fries or onion rings.  I picked up two packages and when I returned home there were more screeners here, including August: Osage County, which I'll watch this evening, and also The Butler, and Philomena.  Love getting these.

Richard said the same thing...

[Ginny]

We took a little pre-dinner drive in the snow, because I'd tried for about 90 minutes to call my Mom and gotten a busy signal.  That usually means she's left one of her portable phones on when she's moved to her "good" phone, but at her age it could also mean a lot of other things.  We were about halfway there when I finally got through and she said, "You don't need to come out here - I'm fine!"  We'll see her tomorrow when my cousin from Georgia and his fiancé come to visit.

I loved Spirograph!   Thanks for reminding me, DR singdaw!

Thanks, DR JRand63!  I enjoyed reading this.

DR Jane, how could you hate Barbie!

That is when looking at the school year book photo and jog a memory

I don't remember Midge or friends, only Ken.  I found Barbie unattractive and didn't understand the fuss about her. 

[Jane]

DR Ginny I'm glad your mother is fine and that you reached her before you drove all the way there.

[Jane]

While I'm mentioning things I hate, sorry DR TCB but I hate Mr Magoo and always have.  He was my introduction to A CHRISTMAS CAROL and I had no idea how wonderful the book was.  I'm grateful I read it in spite of Mr Magoo.

I really didn't like most cartoons when I was a child.
