I am an idiot and do not remember how to reply to my friends' posts, so..... Pardon the Egg Salad (Because I can never spell your other name right) I would like to comment about the 80's toys. I must say I also enjoyed the Big Wheels and hope that they still come with that awesome handle brake that you could pull and stop really fast. Speaking of Barbies, I still have some that I ran across in the closet a couple of weeks ago. I must say I thought my Air Force Barbie was pretty cool, even though I lost her long ago. Not because she was Air Force, but because she was cool enough to have short hair. Although it's best to buy them with short hair and not try to make your other Barbies have short hair by cutting it. Did you know the hair doesn't grow back? What kind of crap is that??!!! Oh and be careful when crimping their hair as mother will note she smells burning plastic and then you're in trouble. Apparently you're not supposed to do that either. Speaking of toys, I was helping a friend go through her children's toys to pick out the items they no longer play with for the rummage sale. After a brief walkthrough of the "bins" and which items should be placed where I decided I have no idea what kids are playing with these days and find the names to be quite confusing. I remember something about little people and wee people and small people. And yes, they are all quite different. How can this be? Apparently little people are actually chubby little people and wee people fit in a backpack and small people are just that, small people. Let's not forget Polly Pocket who wears clothing that I thought resembled small pieces of garbage. Good thing I asked or she would no longer have any clothing. Seriously her clothes were smaller than a quarter. The shoes were about the size of a bead. I had enough time trying to keep pairs of Barbie shoes. Thanks for letting me share.

yeah, hotwheels were awesome... Do you remember the "My Buddy and Me" toy that was like... a doll for boys>? I didn't have that toy and I don't think I would have enjoyed it if I had, but it totally does totally remind me of my 1980's childhood.
YES!!!! I totally remember My Buddy!!! I think they had Kid Sister for girls! Those songs were kinda creepy! lol
