Remember the good ol park! the slide, merry go round, swings, monkey bars! :)

Yes I do, and I got the dirtiest lick'ins from my mom, because I pulled the pretty Koa wood cabinet door off to make my skate board. I wanted a strong board, a board no one else would ever have. I did but with a beating that still haunts me lol. Sorry Mom, I was a kid and a handful, forgive me...

Toys that kept you busy for hours so your parents never had to worry about you!

How about weebles. Or those inflateable punching bags with a clown face and sand in the bottom.

Uh, yeah...they were a lot of fun until they bounced back and clocked you right in the face. :blink:


I loved Linkin' Logs..oh yeah...dreaming of the house that I would build someday when I grew up.

OMG, I have not thought of Helms Bakery Trucks in many many years. I could get a glazed donut for 5 cents. I think I was in the first grade when our class got to go on a field trip to the Helms Bakery factory. I thought I was in heaven. All those delicious smells.

At the end of the tour before we went home, they gave each of us a miniture loaf of bread, a chocolate donut and a cardboard miniture mode of a Helms Bakery Truck. The model was my prize for quite a few years.

Thanks for the thread Dee. Many great memories.

Yes, Dee...that is heaven.

I remember having a candy tart necklace...

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/i...-hFg-ka937aVBw Wearing it for like 2 or three days nonstop, running around, sweaty, dirty, only coming off when you took a shower and you biting off a couple and a friend saying hey I want some and you pull it out so they can bite a few off too, no wonder I never had very many sicknesses I had just about every Bactria know to man. lmao

My brother had this. It vibrated and the little football players wiggled around. I remember if you pushed down hard on the "field" the players popped way up in the air. LOL He was not amused.

It's a wonder I have any teeth left in my head after chewing on yards of this stuff as a kid.

The first time I ever flew to California from Hawaii, and ate at this burger joint and seen all the old cars and low riders I thought I was in heaven! The most enjoyable burger I ever tasted that wasn't from Hawaii lol.

I received quite a few reps to the "Lawrence Welk Show" reference...so i thought this may be fun...

I'll admit when i watched this clip, it touched me deeply... It was pretty much the only entertainment to watch on Saturday nights. Loved the pretty shoes and pretty dresses. Me, mom and dad and my brother always huddled around the TV to watch. Oh how i would love to have one of those Saturday nights back with my family...

i think i still have one!

My mom had a HUGE bottle of this (along with the bath powder) in the bathroom. I remember it being there for most of my childhood. LOL

The items Mom always wished she didn't buy!

OMG my mom was religious about this show... The goodnight song was always sung and as much as I really thought it lame I sang it to my kids and they now sing it to their kids :blink:

My given name was thanks to one of the Lennon Sisters who performed on the LWS... Oy! :eyebrow:

Ahahahaaaaaaa my mom took a second bath in this stuff every night! :rofl:
We still buy it for her... :sunglass:

I was a Jasmine Love's Babysoft kind of girl. That, lilac nail polish and roll on lipgloss. Sometimes eyeliner if I could sneak it my backpack and apply it at school. My favorites were the lacy things, the headbands and leggings, etc.
