I would have LOVED to have kept some of my childhood things but when i was about 16 my Father MADE me get rid of about 95% of my belongings. (We had always been poor and I didn't have much to begin with. I might have one small box of toys left somewhere. Stuff i was able to stash away and hide from him.)

Slowly, but surely S.O. is helping me buy toys i had always wanted. It's not quite the same as the first release, but i got a second release kissing Simba and Nala! Just last month i got a REALLY GREAT deal on a vintage pogo stick. Not a replica. a real 1968 one.

No, i don't ever want to "grow up" and I'm not ashamed of that. Stingy stuck up grown ups die young and unhappy. I want to pass away with as little regret as possible. Have fun! Live a little! I see how far being "mature" has gotten my father! (And he's miserable, angry, and alone. No one can stand being around him.)
