| 3674 | Article | NLogan | I love me some metal lunchbox goodness. I have Universal Monsters, Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon's Lair, and Peanuts. My brother has Secret of Nimh and a few others. There is an Imperial Mummy figure in the pictures with the Dick Tracy stuff. My antique stores around here never get cool stuff like that. | Jan 07, 2017 |  | |
| 3671 | Article | Vaporman87 | Another of my favorites that I'm glad has made the journey back to the site. So much about this I relate to. | Retro Recess Rowdiness | Jan 06, 2017 | |
| 3872 | Article | Vaporman87 | The Monster At The End of This Book was a favorite of mine as well. They reworked it for mobile devices and it's actually very cool. My kids loved it... for a time. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 02, 2017 | |
| 3875 | Article | Cyrogenic | Of the all the books on this list, I've remember reading Just Go to Bed, Miss Nelson is Missing, and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I loved reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie the most. Miss Nelson's fake substitute teacher creeped me the most, LOL. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 03, 2017 | |
| 3878 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Ditto for me on The Monster at the End of This Book, between that and his Super Grover persona, it's no wonder the little blue guy was my favorite character on Sesame Street. I had totally forgotten about Caps For Sale, that was a great one. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 04, 2017 | |
| 4723 | Article | Dalek227 | I loved Little Critter! A few of my favorite childhood books were More Spaghetti I Say (about two monkeys, one wants to play but the other is too busy eating), Chicken Soup With Rice, those Sweet Pickles books also those Serendipity books. | My favorite children's books growing up | Dec 16, 2018 | |
| 5019 | Article | Rabbitearsblog | I loved reading Miss Nelson is Missing and Monster Mama! They were some of my all time favorite children's books growing up! | My favorite children's books growing up | Aug 18, 2019 | |
| 3597 | Article | Vaporman87 | Another epic NLogan Christmas article. This was a lot to digest but I managed to take it all in in one sitting. I love the detail you go into here. I really get a bit of a sense of what your time at your Grandma's was really like during Christmas and beyond. Despite all the family separation, you seem to have made the best of it and overcame the rifts to have memorable and joyous holidays. Thanks for sharing this with us my friend. | NLogan's Christmas at Grandma's House | Dec 18, 2016 | |
| 3598 | Article | mickyarber | This is a really good nostalgia piece, and there was a lot to digest. Since there was a lot to digest, there is a lot to comment on, so bear with me while I hit some of the highlights: - Hot Wheels always made great Christmas gifts, and you seemed to hit the jackpot with the specific ones you got! I had each and everyone of the cars featured in the 5 pack and 6 pack you show here, so I'm betting I got both of those packs at some point in life. I think I got more use out of the "Larry's Towing" white tow truck than any of the the other cars. - My older brother was the one fortunate enough to have that sweet How Wheels Sto and Go Service Center play set. He was always a scrooge with it, and I never got to touch it really until he out grew toys and it sort of became a hand me down. - All of your personal pictures in this article are great btw, but at the moment I was looking at the one of you setting up to play Catapults and Crossbows. It's cool you actually got to play the game. I had saved up allowance money at some point and bought it, but never once found anyone to play it with. I had to settle for setting it all up and playing the role of both players :( - That picture of the fried bologna sandwich looks incredible. Growing up in the south I can tell you there is no more traditional lunch time food than a bologna sandwich. If it's fried, then it becomes a delicacy. - I always preferred the Franco-American brand of canned pastas over Chef Boyardee. SpaghettiOs are the cadillac of canned pasta. - I like the little tale of your Grandma saying that the monsters helped out around the place and a bite of cookie was a small price to pay for their help. My grandma would make up little tidbits like this all the time that would keep us grandkids discussing the possibility of it being real for days. - The silver tree in that one picture is the spitting image of the one my grandmother used all the way up until she passed away in 2006! I love those old trees. To some, they may seem tacky, but to me and the memories I have of it at my grandmas tree, I say they are priceless. - All my life, I can't recall a Christmas season when there wasn't a blue tin of those danish style butter cookies sitting on the counter. Even as I type this, there is a tin of them sitting on my own counter. This was a really fun look back at some early 80's toys and such. Thanks a lot for bringing so much detail to it. I've really enjoyed it. It's been a great way to spend some time. Merry Christmas my friend. | NLogan's Christmas at Grandma's House | Dec 18, 2016 | |
| 3601 | Article | NLogan | @Mick Fried bologna is relatively rare around here (mountain west), at least my brother and I are the only ones I have ever met that ate them regularly. I was surprised when looking at specific Hot Wheels cars how many I recognized. We never believed at a young age that grandma could be making up the monsters. Because we knew she was just pulling the cookies straight out of the bag and not taking a bite of each one. It never occurred to us that they were manufactured that way. In our child's eye view it was ludicrous because no one would buy a partially eaten cookie. Plus on the package only one cookie was shown bitten. The pile of cookies was undamaged. We never read the text on the bag. We took the threat of bitten cookies seriously. I also prefer Franco-American because of grandma. It is incredible to me that some of my favorite things or little things I do around the house are rooted in the ways of grandma and my time spent there. Merry Christmas to you and yours. @Vapor that is what is really about, isn't it. Making the best of the situation available. Those memories of the joyous holidays become more precious as time goes on and loved ones are no longer with us. I think the time at my grandma's is so ingrained because I only had slightly over a decade with her, but I remember so much. Foods she made me try and then I liked (we were picky). Picking food from her garden. Going to the store together, etc. | NLogan's Christmas at Grandma's House | Dec 19, 2016 | |
