| 1206 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'm pretty certain I never owned any Battle Beasts, though the seem familiar to me. Like you said, without a syndicated television show to go along with them, it would have been difficult to attract those He-Man and G.I. Joe obsessed kids like me. I did, however, have many, many, M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines. I had a pretty extensive collection of them, though several of those were doubles (sometimes triples). I have a very clear memory (one of only a few) of finding some of them at a department store here locally that is now closed (and turned into a flea market) called Big Wheel. Not long after that it became a Pamida. It was during those days that I found a nice haul of M.U.S.C.L.E. figures that I had yet to own. Miss M did a nice article that had info on the female equivalent to M.U.S.C.L.E. and Monster In My Pocket that I didn't even know ever existed. You can find that here: http://www.retro-daze.org/site/article/id/181 . So the "mighty minis" weren't just a boy thing apparently. :) | Sep 07, 2014 |  | |
| 2035 | Article | massreality | I'm one of those military kids. My Dad served in the Navy for twenty-two years, and I got to most of my life on Naval bases. We moved at least once every three years, but it was usually at least twice every three years. That meant a lot of different schools, neighbors, and eventually issues. It gets glossed over a lot when looking at long term military kids (not the ones whose parent does four years and gets out) but we end up a little messed up. We are extremely adaptable to change and feel weird if we aren't moving every few years. But we also tend to keep to ourselves and have trouble connecting with people. After about the fourth time of losing your friends, you just stop trying. It's easier just to sit quietly and be the freak rather than make a bunch of friends you are just going to leave in a few months. I think my obsession with the past and objects from the past come from this raising. When you move that much, you don’t have much to hold to onto. So you tend to lean onto your physical possessions. That book of baseball cards suddenly becomes the most valuable thing in your life, because it was the only constant for the past four houses and three states that you lived in. It's comforting to be around other military brats, because they can relate so well to the lifestyle. The parents tend to raise us the same ways (well the enlisted parents do it one way, the officers another) so we understand each other. We have to walk a fine line, but we also tend to be treated a little more maturely. I’m not really sure if that’s a good thing or bad. My fondest base memories are from my time in Orlando, Florida. In the mid 90's they announced the base was closing and all personnel had to move out of our little duplex type housing and into these apartments or off base. Most everyone was transferred and we were one of the last families to move. That gave myself and the few kids remaining a huge empty military base to play on. We had total access to all the housing, and would climb on roofs, and hide in the outside laundry rooms while playing cops and robbers. What was left of security didn't care, so it a very cool experience. Sadly, that base was turned into some luxury homes and hardly nothing remains of it today. When living on base you have this entire working city that you live in complete with grocery stores, gas stations, roller rinks, movie theaters, and even fast food restaurants. It's all very safe to go to all hours of the night and everyone treats you with respect. Then you finally leave that atmosphere and come into the real world and it's a shock. It’s hard for us kids, it's so much harder for our parents. Its fun being a military brat, but it's also very lonely. People spend a lot of time thanking service members for serving, but tend to forget about those who get left at home and still have to life in that sort of lifestyle. I feel bad for military wives, husbands, and kids. It’s not a comforting nor nurturing environment to live in. It also barely resembles what the real world is like. | Military Kids | Feb 22, 2015 | |

| 5805 | Article | Game Joy | I'm not getting too old, little brother, we can go and run in the park together! We have the energy and interest, so we'll do it when we move out together. Can't wait. :D I went to the rollercoasters. I remember pretty well, the fear of falling down is terrifying to be honest. It's up to you if you want to go. ;) As always, an article full of passion and charisma. You express yourself so well, little brother! :D | How The Summer Days Were Always Packed | Jul 18, 2024 | |
