    CARE BEARS!!

    Retro Friend Plush Picture

    Have any of you seen this? The return of Care Bears!! (I have also heard Strawberry Shortcake is making a comeback--tho I have seen no visible proof for myself. And we all know about the return of He-Man! WOO HOO!)

    Now, I know smurfs were the leapers of the toy market, but how about Care Bears? I personally could not have a care bear because magic rays shot out their tummies (Yes I can see how positive love and energy would be detrimental to JW teachings). (He-man was a no no too!)

    But My Little Ponies, and Strawberry Shortcake were ok...go figure.

    Anywhoo just thought I would pass on this bit of nostalgia and fluff to you all, sleep well!

    Joanna,rosan,adana,

    You are a little girl aren't you with a grownups pic for your profile? You little rascle...I knew it!

    I have grandkids but I'm embarrased to say I don't know what a carebear is. I see the picture....looks like a plain ol' teddy bear. So whats special about one? (and I'm only 48)

    Joanna,

    That's not nostalgia, now when you get to Tiny Thumbalina, Baby Chatty Cathy, Betsy Wetsy and Barbies when you just bought new clothes and not new dolls to get new clothes, then we'll talk nostalgia!!!

    Ya'll are funny. Thanks.

    I take it He-Man is one of our super hero's? If so guess I'll have to check it out because grandson is gonna be our next national hero...that is when he gets older and doesn't whine about everything that hurts a little bit. Meanwhile he is definetly a Batman sorta kid.

    Grand-daugher on the other hand is Miss. Barbie all the way!!!!! I just love being grandma. There is nothing to compare...absolutely nothing.

    Granny, and proud of it.

    Nostalgia if I am not mistaken is just about things from the past. Ok granted 1980 wasn't THAT long ago, but care bears, He-Man, and Strawberry Shortcake will be part of my generations nostalgia

    Care Bears, well I'm not sure what makes them special as I was just a little tyke and not really allowed to watch the cartoon, but I believe each bear had a symbol on his belly and it was reflected in their name. Like TrueHeart had a big heart on his belly. And they would rescue/solve problems by forming a chain, thinking positive, and sharing love er something, and rays of light would shoot out of their bellies and the day was saved...

    Someone who remembers more can fill in the parts I missed...
