Things you miss from the past

Yeah it really used to be an exciting time of the year - and I guess it's easy to associate snow with that as well. Time off school, throwing snowballs at dad, being sworn at in Hindi. I imagine it's the same for everybody.

I vaguely remember receiving this for xmas when I was young, it rocked my world, the Jurassic Park compound:

Use to smash it to pieces with my toy T-Rex. Good times...

The best is yet to come, the best years of my life were at 18-21.

I miss my ex-girlfriend.

Don't get me wrong... I miss my Optimus Prime toy too. But just not quite as much.

Hehe, I was thinking the same but thought it would be a bit sad to say it.

Christmas really hasn't helped things, thought I was over her, apparently not...

Being excited about Birthday's and Christmas. On Saturday I'll have had 23 of each and they're almost starting to feel like just another day.

Less sad than saying you admit you miss an 80's geek toy?

Think my Brother had that.

Since we've got on to Xmas and toys of the past. I remember one year my parents getting us all the Ghostbusters toys, including the HQ with the slime that could be oozed through it!

K1LLSW1TCH · 21 Dec 2010 at 01:28

I had that Ghostbusters tower!

The slime smelt funny.

Yeah i got Metroplex for my birthday, which to was awesome

Me too! Not for any special occasion though, my dad just saw it somewhere while he was on a business trip and got me it. I was not big into transformers as a kid, so sadly it was the only one i had, my thing was dinosaurs.

I miss my childhood so much

You missed a good decade, didn't really enjoy it until the end though, since i was born in 82. 90s were so so.

I miss the years where we didn't have to worry about it being a white Christmas. Bog off snow.
