| 3324 | Article | massreality | @demonpuppet87 - We think it was just old age. He was very old and was getting slow. He was an indoor dog, who loved being outdoors. We're not quite sure why he'd crawl under the house, unless it was just to escape the sun for a while. | Feb 09, 2016 |  | |
| 3342 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @DirtyD79 That car mechanic role play sounds awesome, I never would have come up with that as a kid. | Bunk Beds | Feb 10, 2016 | |
| 3343 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @GLOW Wrestling Official Hey, thanks for checking it out. GLOW was such an 80s phenomenon it definitely deserved all the space it got in this article. | When Wrestling Rocked | Feb 10, 2016 | |
| 3362 | Article | Vaporman87 | I'm pretty sure I received several Smurfs cards. They were pretty popular in the early 80's, when I was in elementary school. Sometimes Star Wars would make it into the mix too. For me, making my "receiving box" was the highlight. I always did my best to deck that thing out and outdo the others.

| 3363 | Article | pikachulover | I definitely remember getting a few Ninja Turtles ones. I also got California Raisins, Berenstain Bears, Nerds and Garfield. When I first went to school I used to give really girly Valentines like Care Bears and Minnie Mouse. Then I moved onto ones for boys and girls like Chipmunks, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs and Rugrats. I liked getting sports themed Valentines they were something different. I remember getting NFL ones. | Rad Retro Valentines | Feb 14, 2016 | |
| 3364 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 I am imagining multiple puzzle based locks and mechanics in your Valentine receptical. @pikachulover Yeah, Tiny Toons and Animaniacs were definitely big for everybody back then. | Rad Retro Valentines | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 3365 | Article | Vaporman87 | Really, my design was more about LOOKING better than the others. Maybe getting a little more creative with the materials. Not just boxes with stickers or drawings on it. | Rad Retro Valentines | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 3367 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just wow. Loved this one. True... we each have fond memories of time spent with things that we all knew of and had as children. And those things are special to us and we share similar feelings and memories with regard to them. And then there are those memories that, like you mentioned, are solely our own and unlike any that others may have had. And yet this feels familiar to me. I also spent time exploring nearby woods. Both at my childhood home, and the home I spent my teen years growing up in. Both had woods behind them, and both were just calling to be explored. The home of my childhood featured woods directly behind it that seemingly went on forever (to a kid). At one point, you could exit them and find yourself in a valley with the shadow of a water tower cast over a small junk pile. In the junk pile was a VW Bug surrounded by old appliances and trash. I recall finding an "adult" magazine there, and my friend who had traveled there with me taking quite the interest in it. I used to tell the other neighborhood kids that a little girl died in those woods, in a quicksand pit that I had yet to find. I have no idea why. If you exited another part of the woods, you did so through a large cement culvert under a main highway. At the other end of the culvert was a small body of water. It was very cool. The home I spent my teenage years in also had a nice wooded area behind it. My brother and I would explore it once in a while. And once, a friend and I went deep into the woods and discovered a rocky outcropping that lined a large hillside. In the outcropping was a cave, but not an enclosed one. One side of the cave was completely open, so that watching us traverse the cave from outside would look like watching ants travel through the dirt in an ant farm. It was really cool. My friend and I were jumping from one side of a small creek to another outside the cave, and when he landed on one side further down, his shoe sank into the mud, and when his foot popped back out, his shoe did not. All we could see was the hole for his foot in the shoe. The shoe itself was buried in the mud. Good times. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 15, 2016 | |
| 3368 | Article | DirtyD79 | Great article. As a kid I always loved exploring in the woods. Even now one of my favorite things to do is go for long walks in the woods with my girlfriend. I just find it peaceful and relaxing. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 17, 2016 | |
| 3369 | Article | vkimo | Great memories, and I envy you being able to enjoy such times. Growing up in the suburbs didn't let me get close to nature. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 18, 2016 | |
