Yup! I remember the sea monkeys in the back of Archie comics. (Right next to those X-Ray Specs that let you look through people's clothes. ) They always made the monkeys look like little smiling mermaids.

thats kool

Okay one time during my birthday I wanted to have this jean jacket soooooo bad. lol This was during my phase where I was obsessed w/ the movie Firestarter



Just days before my birthday I had received a response from my letter to Drew and received an autographed picture of her so all I needed to make my birthday perfect was a similar outfit to the one she wore in the movie. LOL I'm nerd I know.. haha...

Anyway... my parents couldn't take me shoping until the last minute and I couldn't find that type of jean jacket anywhere... only some light acid washed jean jackets which I didn't like... lol I was a little bumbed out but I felt better later on in the day :P

My Dad took me to circus a lot when I was little, so I got obsessed with the unicycle and I wanted one so bad. When I was 5, I got a tricycle and I cried, I thought Santa delivered a wrong gift, had my unicycle to some other kid. :haha:

I wanted a House Doll, but one like my elder cousin had, which has an actual ELEVATOR in it and a bathtub ! It looked similar to the one Nelly Oleson had in the show...without elevator. I had a Doll House, but a lot more modest.

When older (13 years old) I knew a girl in my school who was Taiwanese. She had a Karaoke in her house, and we sang nice songs in Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese (she taught me how to sing these)..And of course, I wanted a Karaoke. It was marvelous to me, to have a machine with only music in it to you to sing like a professional. Actually, my parents try to purchase it for me, but sadly in any music house from these times, they would know what a Karaoke was...Anyone had seen one! Now, is the more natural thing in the world, and the models they have are much more modern than the one my friend had (she gave it to her daddy, later and she bought a new one)...But I still want the older one, who worked with a music magazine and that had these beatiful Eastern oldies...

Vanesa.

There is something I have wanted for a few years now really bad for Christmas and I still haven't got it. It's Matt, lol!!!!!

Beckie

I wanted Sea Monkeys too! I thought they'd just be like the little people type things that you see drawn in the comic books, lol.

Kelsey had some recently. They weren't very exciting at all. :haha:

Pam, thank you for letting me know! Now I can finally put to rest that secret longing that I've been carrying all these years.

You know, I think it's better this way . . . . Imagining how wonderful they were, rather than actually getting them and being disillusioned over the reality.

Yes, it was a huge letdown for me to see that they were just these mini tadpole looking thingees. They had no crowns, no human-like faces. I am still in therapy after the disillusionment that I had carried with me for some 30 years. Worst of all was to find out that you really could not train them at all.
