'Are you there God...' was on my short list of favorite books.  LOLOL you guys have memories like elephants.  I totally forgot that 'we must we must' thing. 
ROFL

[doggylover]

Has anyone mentioned 'Cabbage Patch Dolls'?  LOLOL we couldn't afford one, but I remember the PAIN I felt every time a girl brought one to school.  And if you had one, you HAD to bring her to school. 
OH OH OH that reminds me.  Do you all remember the 'anatomically correct' boy doll?  Don't get me started. 
LOL

[Bella's mom]

Of course, the metal slinky was somehow really entertaining!

"Are you there, God?  It's me, Margaret"
Do you remember the "We must, we must, we must increase our bust"?  Haha!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!...I would SO love to have "the Talk" with my daughter by just handing her that book...Unfortu natly this is a different day & age & she already knows more than that & I canceled our cable t.v. almost 2 yrs. ago...Damn!...Next I'll have to home school!
B.T.W., You all had a METAL Slinky...right?

[Bella's mom]

Oh, yes, the Cabbage Patch Doll!  I remember wanting one so bad, but it was Christmas time and you had to wait in line forever for new shipments.  Stores couldn't even keep them on the shelf!  So, my sweet parents had an "adoption doll" made especially for me.   It was even better than a Cabbage Patch, and I know cost a whole lot more for my parents.  I still have it packed away in a closet!!

LOL - "Are You there God...." was my personal handbook.... and speaking of handbook's ....does anyone remember "The Preppy Handbook?"

This tread ROCKS!!!!!  except now I feel real OLD! 

[EllieAndBlu]

All of this is far to shameful to admit. 

I will just say:  Shaun Cassidy, my ***.

PARKER STEVENSON, LADIES.  Parker Stevenson.

(And he's STILL cuter than Shaun.)

WHAT?! Parker Stevenson was okay but he was no Shaun Cassidy.... by far the cuter of the Hardy boys - I had the metal lunch box (w/thermus of course) to prove it 
ahhhhh memories of my first love....lol

[aggghgmom]

I just saw this thread and yes although I hate to admit it I was there also!!

I LOVED my click-clacks - then they got taken off the market because they were shattering!

I had cabbage patch dolls quite a few I think?  Still have at least 3 in my attic.  My sisters who were older were buying a baby gift for someone and inadvertantly got in a line at the kids store on Long Island once they got to the beginning of the line they were each handed a cabbage patch doll they were confused but bought them anyway.

My first concert - 17 young girls went to see Donny Osmond we all wore purple and screamed - turns out Suzanne Z had chicken poxs which noone know and the rest of us had them together!!

Loved Parker Stevenson - had a pet rock - but not store bought my father found a rock and made me a pet rock. 

This was a great idea - what a walk down memory lane!!

Oh yes, I remember all of it...the magic 8 ball...anyone ever own Blip?  what a silly game..Ants in your Pants... there were just a few things that I didn't have...but I could relate totally from thinking Gopher was cute on the Love Boat and being afraid of Fantasy Island... However, my friends and I played "Charlies Angels" and I always had to be Sabrina... oh well...it does bring back memories...

Does anyone remember having a doll that had a hole in the top of her head where you could pull her hair to make it long?  She also had a knob on her back to roll the hair back in to make it short again.  I thought that was the coolest doll.

[Bella's mom]

I also remember begging my mom for a Rub-a-Dub doll for Christmas.  Santa brought it for me, and you could take it in the bathtub!

My friend (who thought she was all that) had one and for the first day I was jealous.  Then it ran out of hair because she gave her five haircuts and she ended up with a doll with short hair.  Ha!

P.S.  Remember the Afterschool Special?  My personal favorite:  "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble."

[NoDogNow]

You won't believe this...

I found my Super Simon last night.  It was hiding in the bottom of my linen trunk under the 4-yarn afghan my grandmother made me the year she died (which I never use, obviously.)

Now I'm going to have to go buy D cell batteries and see if it still works.
