When I was little I really wanted Brownie Hawkeye camera and/or Flexible Flyer sled because a lot of the kids had them ?

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 ?
I have nothing here.

Extra Credit Question:
In honor of scale & honesty day

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ?
Nope.

Speaking of weight

Where is "Wanda the weight loss Fairy"
I would be really happy if she could make 10 to 15 pounds disappear ?

Just for Fun:

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ?
Seeing how many kids could be crammed into a phone booth or VW.

Today's Question(s):

When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ?
I can't remember ever wanting something just because other kids had it.


Bonus Question:

How many of you said " OOOO I want to have lunch with this person too " while reading other posters answers ?
Some of them were interesting. I think, ultimately, I'd be too afraid to have lunch with anyone famous.

Extra Credit Question:

In honor of scale & honesty day

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ?
Nope. Not purposely, anyway. I don't know how much I weigh now, but I've always told people my weight from when I last knew, which was about two years ago. My weight has always been pretty steady though.

Speaking of weight

I like my weight. I don't think I could survive losing any pounds.

Just for Fun:

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ?

Well, I'm still in college and see a lot of fads. I don't really pay much attention to them though. Cell phones probably aren't a fad, but I wish they were.



Today is:
National Raisin Day
National Oatmeal cookie day
Ice Cream Cone Day
Hairstyle Appreciation Day
Mr. Potato Head Day
Scale Day
National Honesty Day

have a great weekend everyone!

Good am
Today's Question(s):

When I was little I really wanted ________ and/or _______because a lot of the kids had them ?
I can't think of anything specific from my own childhood at the moment besides certain dolls with homemade clothes, so I will say the trampoline my DD wanted that others already had.

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 ?
I didn't OOO and Ahhh, but I did notice interesting choices others made, and what it may reveal about them

Extra Credit Question:
In honor of scale & honesty day

Have you ever "fudged" the numbers a bit when asked "How much do you weigh" ? Nah..I like my fudge without numbers.

Speaking of weight

Where is "Wanda the weight loss Fairy"
I would be really happy if she could make ________ pounds disappear ? I don't believe in quick fix gimmicks or magical fairies, so I guess that leaves me having to sweat off any excess poundage the old fashioned way

Just for Fun:

What "College Fads" do you remember being popular when you were younger ? Animal House type hi jinks like toga parties involving massive drinking and hazings.

Today is:
National Raisin Day
National Oatmeal cookie day
Ice Cream Cone Day
Hairstyle Appreciation Day
Mr. Potato Head Day
Scale Day
National Honesty Day

Have a fabulous Friday all!

I grew up in a house that was completely need oriented and if u had any wants u had better keep 'um to ur self. I really can't remember wanting something that everybody else had. I just didn't think in those terms because that is just the way it was. N/A on the bonus the 5th on the extra credit. And I am not sure about college fads... Well I say "thank God the day will end at some point" so everybody "Don't Worry, Be Happy... note for note"
