I was a girl so nobody would buy me the battling robots but my cousins had them so I played them at their house. I had no interest in dolls but I received a lot of them. Gender was rather fixed back then

Yeah, I remember very clearly one old guy getting very upset at mum because I looked like a boy. When at home I preferred jeans and T-shirt or sweatshirt and my hair was cut very short. My hair is thick and very fine and tangled easily.. I was very active and long hair quickly tangled so mum let me get a short cut. Before puberty I looked like a boy, with my cowboy boots and casual outfits. He told mum I should be wearing dresses! Mum never went back to his meat store.
Oh yeah. Hi o cherry 🍒 O! That’s it! __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |

I should have posted this in General Chat. Maybe I'll ask for it to be moved there.

That's horrible, about your Big Wheels being stolen! Oh, I so wanted one of those, but they wouldn't get one for me. Same answer: "That's for boys." __________________ |

Some things I did get, even though I wasn’t a boy. I got this sort of early version of legos only they were made to look like a brick and came with plastic doors, windows and green vinyl for a roof. You could build different houses with them. I also got a microscope. But I didn’t get chemistry sets or the erector sets I really, really wanted.

They were strips of metal in different shapes and sizes with holes drilled in them, metal wheels of different sizes and with nuts and bolts to build different things like a crane.

I don't remember playing hi ho cherry o but based on the picture it looks like you just spin the spinner in the middle and pick off (or add) cherries based on what you land on and the first one without cherries wins.
I was born in the mid 90's. I don't remember much from childhood other than candy land but I remember playing rollercoaster tycoon and tony hawk on xbox later on. And those things where you melt plastic to make spiders. __________________ Live life for nothing but that sweet sweet melody. |

I don’t know about the 90’s but back in the 60’s there was the thing maker where you put liquids of different colors into a metal mold and heated it up. I had a bug creepy crawlers one. I heard they discontinued those though due to safety concerns.

Well... I was born in the late 1940's. Some things I recall having were Lincoln logs, I had the plastic bricks with the windows & doors you used to build houses, and I had an erector set. I also had Lionel trains. And I had a chemistry set (the smaller one they made at the time.) As a kid, I was very hard on my toys. Over the years I busted them all up, for the most part, and the pieces went to the trash.
One other thing I had was a machine gun! It sat on a tripod and shot rolls of caps. Plus there was a red tube at the end of the muzzle that moved rapidly in-&-out when you fired the gun to simulate flames coming out of the barrel! What a toy! __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."

I used to play Hi Ho cherry O's my first couple years in elementary speech class. Me and the other 2 kids I was with would take turns practicing our R's and S's and then take our turn with the game.
We also played Oreo match up alot. They were plastic oreos that came apart and the cream side had shapes and stuff and you would lay them chocolate side up and whoever got the most matches won. I had a Wizard Of Oz board game at home I begged my mom nonstop to play with me she probably regretted getting it for me for Christmas. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Oh, geez, you are even younger than my kids are. You have a lot of experience in life, no wonder you're such a special person, Boots. Haha, Candy Land went on for decades. I loved it when i was a kid and I played it with my own children. I want the making spiders out of plastic thing. That sounds so cool. __________________ |

Wow, Skeezyks, that machine gun sounds like a FAB anger management tool. Much better than beating on my pillow Do ya think maybe I can find one on ebay? You're my husband's age. He remembers dressing up in a cowboy outfit and playing with cap guns that would occasionally shoot out an extra little blast of gun powder that would burn some kid's arm. __________________ |

And then my older cousin, without asking for my permission, used felt pens to paint Marina's nails and I could not take off the color. I was devastated. She ruined my doll. Last edited by Tart Cherry Jam; Nov 07, 2022 at 08:49 PM.. |
