When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ? Can't think of anything. I wasn't really that kind of kid - was counter-culture even as a tot

Yesterday we talked about what famous people we wanted to have lunch with How many of you said " OOOO I want to have lunch with this person too " while reading other posters answers ? I didn't "really" want to have lunch with most of the ones I listed LOL. Did see some neat suggestions out there, though

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ? I tend to round up or down so it might not be exact but it's not intended to mislead anyone either

Speaking of weight

Where is "Wanda the weight loss Fairy"
I would be really happy if she could make ________ pounds disappear ? I don't care about the weight so much - just want a few areas to be a little more toned.

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ? drinking and skipping morning classes?

The University I went to was very Red-Necked, Beer Drinking, Casual, Conservative. Do not remember much in the way of fads. Things like Disco, weird cloths, and drinks with fancy names just never had a chance.

Happy Friday everyone!

Today's Question(s):

When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ?

A trampoline, when I was 6 and wanted to become a trapeze artist in the circus. My mom said she didn't want me to break my legs. But what did she know, breaking my leg was also on my list of things I wanted. Well, maybe not breaking my leg... but getting a big cast for all my friends to sign with colorful magic markers seemed like a cool thing to want.


Bonus Question:
Yesterday we talked about what famous people we wanted to have lunch with

How many of you said " OOOO I want to have lunch with this person too " while reading other posters answers ? Abraham Lincoln and John Lennon--those two definitely got added to my guest list. Can you imagine the jokes they'd tell?

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ? Hey, it's not fudging if you weigh yourself without your glasses on and 170 pounds looks like it say 120 pounds...

160 pounds. That's how much my grandson's new friend weighs and boy do I wish he would disappear. Nice kid but he eats all my chocolate!

Today's Question(s):

When I was little I really wanted
_____ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ? Can't really recall anything that other kids had that I coveted. I grew up in a typical 1950s-60s suburban neighborhood, and pretty much everyone had the same kinds of things.

Honestly, I didn't recognize most of the names for actors, actresses, contemporary musicians and athletes. I spied some politicians' names that I have to admit I'd have been interested in lunching with, such as Winston Churchill.

You know, I honestly don't know. I guess I've just never been very good at tuning into popular culture. For myself, I was active in the Society For Creative Anachronism, which was very much a niche interest, and I just kind of tuned out what all the mainstream kids did.
