Kevin Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Lego has really taken off since I was young with sets and pieces that are quite amazing . In fact , The only reason I can think of visiting Denmark would be to see that amazing Legoland ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Jane, Laurie,my friends and I used to spend hours making gum wrapper chains. Fruit Stripe was the colorful one. Otherwise you were limited to the various Wrigley colors. Remember the gum Teaberry? The Teaberry Shuffle? That was a dance from the Teaberry comercial. We also painted our nails black, blue, green. White eyeshadow with black eyeliner. Anyone else iron thier hair? I did. Chinese jumprope (not jumprope at all but a piece of elastic), and yes, slinky, superballs, paddleball, click clacks, and guys how bout Rock Em Sock Em Robots?? You'd knock thier block off. I loved that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 oh yeah...my sister constantly ironed her hair...I never did though....and even now my girls do that...they say the straightener doesn't work as good....they quickly stopped doing it coz I told them it would damage their hair eventually...so they took my advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
