What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ?
I dropped out of college in 1978 because I got bored with what I majored in.. Business Administration.. I don't know if that was a fad or not.. I went back to college in 1985 and changed my major to Computer Science. It sort of reminded me of what Bluto on Animal House (Johh Belushi) said "7 years of college down the drain!"..
Today is:
National Raisin Day - I'm always raisin' hell.. What am I supposed to be raisin' today?
Hairstyle Appreciation Day - Do they have a Chrome Dome Style Appreciation Day?
Mr. Potato Head Day - I guess I'll have him for lunch today..
Scale Day - Hmmm.. Okay, on a scale from 1 to 10, I'll give this gal I know.. a 12.
National Honesty Day - Do politicians celebrate this?

I honestly cannot remember a thing that I wanted just because other kids had it and I didn't. I had clothes to wear, food to eat, toys to play with and books to read; what more did I need?
Bonus Question:

I never read yesterday's answers - was in a very bad mood and shut down the computer early to go read my book.

Nope. I figure if I can see every pound of extra weight, so can anybody looking at me.

When I was little I really wanted a Poor Pitiful Pearl Doll and/or a balanced baton because a lot of the kids had them ? I got both of them, too. Plus I never once missed a baton throw until we were performing at our first basketball game and I missed that sucker and it rolled to the bleachers. I can still hear the laughter from the crowd.
Bonus Question:

How many of you said " OOOO I want to have lunch with this person too " while reading other posters answers ? I did when TTDave mentioned Thomas Jefferson.

This is really interesting about it being the first toy advertised on TV.

Today's Question(s):
When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ? My dad spoiled me rotten so I never had to ask for anything because he just bought me things. Though for Christmas one year I did want a hotwheels race track that he didn't realize I wanted, so I did find that under the tree next to the Barbie my mom bought me and only wished I would have played with lol. Well, I guess I did if laying her on the track for the cars to hit counts
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 ? There were several and a lot I would have added myself if unlimited number of 'guests', but I tried hard to limit my answers to just one for each category - did blow it on actors though due to eye candy overload
Extra Credit Question: In honor of scale & honesty day
Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ? No, plus no one asks - it's right there for everyone to see. I'm small boned so if underweight it's obvious and same thing if I was overweight - no need to fudge.
Speaking of weight
Where is "Wanda the weight loss Fairy" I would be really happy if she could make ________ pounds disappear ? Well 'I' would disappear if I lost anymore weight, but I would be happy if Wanda would bring me around 10 pounds or so. Some people eat a lot when stressed and I've always been the exact opposite.
Just for Fun:

Today in History: 1772 - John Clais patents 1st scale I have to laugh at this one - was showing a clients house & for the heck of it got on the scale & it said like 120 something (& scale showed starting point as 0). Almost peed my pants laughing. These things are hardly ever correct & if someone is say working out, well muscle weighs more than fat. I always thought the best way to tell was how one's clothes fit. If they're tight, extra poundage - almost falling off, need to put on some weight. 1885 - Boston Pops Orchestra forms 1889 - 1st U.S. national holiday, on centennial of Washington's inauguration 1904 - The Ice cream cone makes its debut 1947 - Maps had to be changed as Boulder Dam was changed back to its original name, Hoover Dam. Some people, mostly those who live in the community of Boulder, Nevada, still refer to the dam as Boulder Dam Really? Interesting fact Karla. 1955 - A few University of Iowa men students released a little pent-up energy. They conducted the first ever panty raids at the women’s dorm. Boys will be boys 1952 - Mr. Potato Head is 1st toy advertised on television and yes I had several, though many years later. Maybe that explains my love of potatos lol
Word of the Day: recalcitrant \rih-KAL-sih-truhnt\ , adjective;
1. Stubbornly resistant to and defiant of authority or restraint. Could be taken a couple of ways, but when younger (& sometimes even now) I have problems with so-called authority figures telling me what I can/have to do (especially when they don't know what the heck they're talking about)
Today is:
National Raisin Dayand put them in the Oatmeal cookie, along with nuts. Yummy
National Oatmeal cookie day just see above
Ice Cream Cone Day
Hairstyle Appreciation Day I appreciate that I don't really have one lol just wash, comb it and let it dry. I do not miss curling irons, etc. at all.
Mr. Potato Head DayDo have some potatos so maybe I'll make a homemade one - course then I'd have to eat it.
Scale Day
National Honesty Day This should be every day.

Reason: whoops put May instead of April
Okay, I know sometimes the months just seem to fly by, but how can we be on the LAST day of May when we won't see the FIRST day until tomorrow?
(shoot! You must have gotten it edited at just about the time I was hitting the quote button.)

I went back to college in 1985 and changed my major to Computer Science. It sort of reminded me of what Bluto on Animal House (Johh Belushi) said "7 years of college down the drain!"..
