    anyone remember before Smurfs there were TROLLS? I had to watch as my whole troll family with their cottage was burned in the back yard....

    so one of the first things I did when I left was go on ebay and get my trolls back! now I have like 50 or so.....

    I also went on ebay and managed to get all 41 years of Ideals Christmas magazines. Every one I missed, got some extras and made a book of them to give my mother, who also missed those Christmases. I am also big on Christmas gifts...I start collecting them as soon as it is over for the next year.(But I do not give expensive or brand new stuff---I make alot of it-like jewelry, or I get used books---I have a thing about used books...in 2001 my husband and I bought used books for everyone on our Christmas CARD list and matched half of what I paid for them and sent it to the 911 fund and wrote that in the cover of each book we gave away. we gave about 50-60 books--alot of them those 'Chicken Soup' ones--picked up used for 50 cents or a dollar...)

    anyone else done anything like this? Is there something you did when you left that you were not allowed to do(other than smoke or have sex I mean--something you missed out on as a kid!) Is there still something you want to do?

    I remember that I had to throw away my Matchbox model warplanes that I - all 12 of them - glued together.

    But finding these back again will be next to impossible,this happened 30 years ago...

    Hey Vivamus,

    I just love insence....and have been burning it for years....in fact once I was counceled by the elders, about burning insence they said that it would excite the demons.....

    I took up sword fighting, (Foil) just as I was starting to go to the Hall. I really liked it. It was like Ball Room Dancing, which I did, only lethal! I was thinking of taking it up again. Maverick
