not sex toys, although I am sure that is where this will ultimately end up lol.

A friend was talking about Stretch Armstrong yesterday. Do you remember that gel doll thing that you stretched his arms & legs out? My brother & I both had one & we tied them together lol.

What are some toys from your childhood?

    Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots

    Lincoln Logs

    Can't think of anything else. In the 50's and 60's there were no elctronic computer games. We played outside with our friends instead of texting them and sending them selfies.

    I know it sounds barbaric, but that's just the way it was. We didn't come back inside until we were hungry or the streetlights came on.

    Major Matt Mason! He was an astronaut with other astronaut buddies and a green alien friend. I had all the figures (they were posable) and a moon crawler, jet pack, and station, along with a puzzle and some Big Little Books starring him.

    My mother gave me a spoon and said to go dig in the dirt outside. She also said I needed to bring it back if I wanted to eat dinner.

    Stompers!!! As a kid, we had a track we created in the back yard for these that probably covered an area of 15' x 30' and took the whole summer to design & build.
