| 1888 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ha! What a story. That is just cruel of your brother. I feel so bad for the young you, lying in bed, scared to death of your fate. Sadly, it is this type of thing that turns people away from most Christian denominations, and religion altogether. They don't like the idea of the slightest wrong doing damning them to a life in H-E-double hockey sticks (LOL). The truth is far more complicated than that, and likely none of us truly know it fully. But how could a child possibly understand that? That is why, unlike my parents, I do not wish for my kids to hear the "fire and brimstone" sermons. They can't comprehend it, and it will only make their life miserable at a time when they need to be loving it. No pastor or laymen is our judge, and nothing they say is infallible. Such things must be discovered and dealt with at a more appropriate age, and through their own research and contemplation. I don't want my kids scared into my religion. I want them to choose. Naturally, I want them to choose a certain path, but I can't allow them to be coerced by fear or guilt. That won't lead to a full or rich experience at all. Of course, they WILL deal with fear and guilt. But they must be able to comprehend a much larger picture. And right now, they can't. Anyway, on a lighter note, I LOVE the captions to the pictures! LOL. "there IS the matter of this 'thumb' thing". Awesome. | Feb 05, 2015 |  | |
| 1887 | Article | OldSchool80s | I think you are right on with your comment towards the end: "One of the many reasons why I like RetroDaze is because we are given a chance to share these precious memories and many times, people can relate." | The Older Kid | Feb 05, 2015 | |
| 1886 | Article | OldSchool80s | Enjoyed the post and the pictures! Fun 80s memories. Thanks for sharing. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 05, 2015 | |
| 1885 | Article | fuschnikt | I wasn't the oldest kid, but I did have a treehouse. Nothing that elaborate, though. I guess my brother could have been the older kid. Except he never really hung around us younger kids. On occasion, however, he did let us throw snaps at him while he ran around the yard. | The Older Kid | Feb 04, 2015 | |
| 1884 | Article | fuschnikt | @Vapor Thanks! It means a lot! Truly! I'd love to see one of these Boglin videos someday. I'll see what I can do with the video. I'm not very technically astute. @Hoju I think my Boglin probably meet the same ultimate fate as yours. Fragile creatures in the hands off young children. As for the birthday question..I wish I could tell you. I know I had parties before. I've seen photos. But I was just turning four, so I'm sure calendars were meaningless to me. I still can't explain how nobody would have clued me in. Maybe they did and I was just to busy doing kid things to take heed? @Pika I never had any Ponies or Care Bears. I did have a Cabbage Patch though. For some time I carried him around just like Buddy in the commercials. He was my My Buddy. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 04, 2015 | |
| 1883 | Article | Vaporman87 | Cool. That'd be great pika. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 04, 2015 | |
| 1882 | Article | pikachulover | I don't remember Dino Rides much save the random commercial that was from something my mom taped for me. It's nice to see what was around in 1987 in boys toys. In 1987 I was thinking more about My Little Pony, Care Bears and Cabbage Patch dolls. @Vapor I'll try to submit my Dino Riders ad too. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 04, 2015 | |
| 1881 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great batch of gifts and photos. I totally had a Boglin that I used to flip inside out as well, I think I eventually stretched his arms apart (like into pieces) and that was the end of my creature. I always thought Dino Riders were cool, but not enough to demand one for a birthday for some reason. Also, did you not know what a birthday was or just had no concept of time at that age? | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1880 | Article | Vaporman87 | I forgot to mention that you should try recording those Dino Riders ads off and get them uploaded to the site. I don't think we have much Dino Riders video content. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
| 1879 | Article | Vaporman87 | You've really hit a groove now fuschnikt. Great read! This had to have been a great birthday part. Dino Riders were really cool toys. It was a toy line that I always wished I had more of. My brother actually had several, and we would play with them extensively when the mood struck us. Boglins were another property I had none of. But my friend's Boglin made it's way into at least one of our homemade movies. LOL. I have no doubt that our investigative members can find out what some of those other goodies are. | Surprise Party! : 1987 | Feb 03, 2015 | |
