adymarie,

Were they Playskool sets?

OMG I loved Weeble Wobbles They weeble and they wobble but they don't fall down!

Could they be the Fisher Price Little People?

When I wanted to take my Barbies "camping" I would use the Weeble Wobble camper. It was a tight fit, but a little imagination fixed that! I also used the Fisher Price Little People as Barbies babies since they were about the right size.

Boys/men who wear their pants so loose you can see their boxers and are afraid the pants will end up around their ankles.

9. What was your favorite toy as a child?
I had a stuffed mouse that I carried everywhere, I even chewed its tail off.

Safron, I had to laugh at your pet peeve about socks and sandals. I lived in Germany for about 7 years where it is very fashionable to do this. Its weird if you wear sandals w/o socks!! Anyway, I always hated doing that, but after a while I started to do the same thing. Now that I am back in the USA, I stick out like a sore thumb when I have my white socks and black sandals on!! Oh well, its called CULTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Daniela, Have you tried your George Foreman grill out yet? I love them, I bought my dad one for Christmas and he used it more than his big grill. Mmmmm... Makes me hungry for hamburgers...

Just made chicken on it a little bit ago. It was awesome!!! So tender and tasty, and no oil or grease!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo excited, I can't wait to do seafood on it!! Hubby bought it for me for an early Mommys Day Present. I totally love it already!
