I did love Doug and Full House, I'm on the same page as Leggwilliams

kristigiles · March 2010

hkiesling · March 2010

Oh veijes! No Thundercats? Say it ain't so!

leggwilliams · March 2010

LOVE Full House! I told FI the other day that when the day comes that I get pregnant, I'm going to tell him like Becky told Jesse with a dinner of baby corn, baby back ribs, baby carrots.....

Bimbi284 · March 2010

Bimbi284 · March 2010

That was just sneaky Steph!!! Shame on you, lol!!!

Although I DID love that show.

leggwilliams · March 2010

That's amazing! How weird would that be to live there?! I mean, I guess I basically grew up in that house anyway!

Steph0871 · March 2010

haha Legg.

and Yes! It is for sale. The guy bought it for like $50K and is now selling it for like $5 million or something? My mom was just in San Fran and toured the house! I was insanely jealous.

Bimbi284 · March 2010

I hear that's not ACTUALLY the house...peeps are all up in arms about it.

hkiesling · March 2010

Who here played chinese jumprope? Where you had one rope tied in a circle and two people stood on either end with the rope around their ankles. Then someone had to jump in, out, side, side, on. And then up to knees then waist.

How about Keypers? I totally had this horse.

Steph0871 · March 2010

Oh yeah. Chinese jump rope!

I thought you'd all like to know that for the past, oh, 45 minutes, we've been watching 90s nickelodeon intros. This might be the best night I've had for awhile!

Bimbi284 · March 2010

LOL Steph! I totally posted the DtG intro on facebook!

Steph0871 · March 2010

... and I'm now driving FI insane, because I might be singing Spice Girls.

Just a taste: "easy V doesn't come for free; she's a real lady. If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends..."

debbieupper · March 2010

YES Chinese jumprope ... but also, what is that game with the string and you could get a book that came with it and there were all the ways you'd hold and pass the string ... CAT'S CRADLE! Loved it.

Also:
-Shrinky Dinks
-Easy Bake Oven (if that hasn't been mentioned)
-Those cylindrical plastic beads you put together and iron to make them melt together into colorful designs
-Those stretchy neon things you looped over your fingers and wove together to make bracelets, necklaces, etc ...

p.s. this bullet formatting sucks

Steph0871 · March 2010

Debbie, you mean these little cylindrical bead things??

(yes, I am 24, and yes, I still play with them. These are our 'new' coasters for our apartment. We even incorporated Super Nintendo!)
