Please take time to visit and make ‘em feel the love!

First, childhood toys. I decided to share one photo of some of our “old” toys. These are GI Joe items and most of them are about 20 years old. Any collectors out there - interested? LOL

Vintage GI Joe

Next, me… I was a child of the late 70’s and 80’s… so this is me during that time. I’m thinkin’ this is about 1982 but not 100% sure at the moment.

    Mine is up. This week I did an unusual take on the theme. It is a religious amulet which has been blessed by priests in Thailand. During my childhood, it went everywhere with me and was an important part of my upbringing.

    My childhood-picture is posted. I had to decide which of my “absolutely 70s” picture to choose by drawing lots ;-)

    The winner is a picture of my parents and me taken on my Dad´s birthday in 1974.

    Can´t wait to see yours :-)

    Happy hunting ya all!

    Ouch! You look like me when my back “cracked” 2001 (I was 42), but I was forced to lean forward almost 70 degrees plus to the side and go only with minimal steps if at all. Very big problems to move. Mine was a disk bulge on one disk and a hernia on another disk, plus degenerative ones. I’m still not well, but have been forced to learn to live with it. I’ve problem with muscles inflammations ever since too.

    I hope you’re doing better since you’re much younger than me :-)

    (”Funny” thing is, my childhood photo relates to this… And I wrote that before coming over here…)

    I can really sympathize with you on the whole back pain stuff. I went through hell and then some with mine two years ago before I finally had a lamenectomy (sp?) due to a severely pinched and twisted nerve root from two herniated disks. You have my utmost sympathy! Hang in there as best you can!

    Got my picture up and I will be visiting everyone else tomorrow; early to bed tonight as I’ve got to be up for work way too early!

    My brother was younger so we had all Starwars which went great with my Glamourgals.:)

    I’ve not been around in awhile. Our baby is now 9 weeks old, so I think I can get back into the routine of joining this again - esp. if I can work the oodles of baby pics we are taking into it! :)

    My childhood picture is up now too. :)

    Oh, you are just a babe! I graduated from high school in 1970. My brother had some of those GI Joe items. At least I think so. I went to college when I was 17 and he was 8… so I really don’t know. I remember the first Barbies, Chatty Kathy, and the original hula hoop craze along with the first Silly Putty and the plastic and metal pull Slinky dog toy.

    Mine is up too.

    What do you mean, any collectors? You shoud hang on to them, they might be worth some money! (At least, that’s what I always tell my husband when I can’t part with something, lol).

    1982?! You’re just a babe! I was a Sophomore in high school during that time period. You know, I remember those jacket vests, they were hot back then. So were leg warmers. Whoa, bring on the memories. lol

    I’m glad you’re feeling a tad better, hang in there!

    My first Photohunt. Great theme to start out with.

    Your 80’s photo is cute. I have a bunch with the similar fashion of the time, but your hair was much better than my modified “Dorothy Hamill” do. Thanks Mom!

    Ah, yes! I raised 3 boys. I’m quite familiar with G.I. Joe! And what a cute little girl you were. I’ve been praying for you and do hope you are beginning to feel better. I finally, just not, posted my photo hunt for today. Have a restful weekend, TNChick!

    I wouldn’t dare put up a picture of me in my childhood, I don’t think a unibrow and braces were ever in fashion.

    Hi! Hope you are feeling much better now.

    Great toys! They reminded me of my younger brother who had a large collection of GI Joes. My mom gave them away to my cousins in the province when my brother got older. I wished she had kept them instead so that the toys could have been given to my son.

    You were a lovely girl (and still are). :)

    Awesome GI Joe toys! I used to love those, but my Mama would never buy them for me…I had to resort to playing with them with a neighborhood boy down the street. And cute photo of you! I like that denim vest there…very groovy. :x)

    The hubby and I were both late getting photos up … well I had one on my gardening site for hours but I didn’t mark it as Photo hunter so people mistook the photo .. see that one at http://www.feverishthoughts.com/garden if you’d like.

    I was more of an outdoorsy girl but yeah I had barbies and dolls .. no GI Joes for me. Although there were some really old army toys of my brothers hanging around when I was a kid … those were from the late 50
    s and 60’s. I wonder whatever happened to those? Hmmm

    I was a huge fan of G.I.Joe the cartoon and comic book and still collect the comics. I can probably name off everyone in the picture there too. I was however more of a transformer’s fan and it would have taken days to set up all the ones I have. (all the ones from 20 years ago and everything int he past 10 years.) I’m headed to the TF convention this July and will be seeing the TF movie through a charity event on June 28th.

    But I would totally never pass up G.I.Joe toys. Still have Wetsuit and Za
