...Timebomb Thursday...

Thursday, March 21, 2013


Welcome to another Thursday!
That just means that Friday is RIGHT around the corner!!

This week has for sure FLOWN by!!!

Today, i am bring back Timebomb Thursday!

Today lets take a little stroll down memory lane to look at these great items from our childhood

Today we are going to take a look at T.V. shows that had us hooked every Saturday morning!
Who can remember this amazing show:

DINOSAURS


This show was SO funny! With the teenage dinosaur kids and the little stewie like dinosaur baby.
It was a TV sensation during my childhood and was on cereal boxes, happy meals, and even school supplies. 


How about this show:


KaBlam


this low budget comic like show was one of my favorites!
It has the HeeMan Action figure along with the hilarious Alien who was always getting into trouble.
It was so random...low budget...but SO GOOD!

Ok last for this week...How about this show:

Gullah Gullah Island


This show was a show i would NOT miss each week!
As a child we got to vacation on the beach a lot so i think that also played a huge factor into it.  
I loved the songs, the dances, and that BIG YELLOW FROG was my favorite!!


I hope that some of you were able to enjoy some of these shows during your younger years.
These were all great shows (in my opinion) and i can honestly say that i miss them and i hope that i will be able to share them with my kids!

Happy Thursday guys!
Have a great day and hold tight until Friday gets here!! :-)

Happy Thursday All!
I Know i missed out on last week's Timebomb...bbbuuuuuuuttttt
No worries! I am bringing it to you this week!
Today is MY Friday so i am so excited for today to get over with!
I hope that you all have had an amazing week so far
You guys can make it ONE MORE DAY! 
Its almost Friday!!! :-)


Do any of you remember getting one...two...three...or four of these a day?

I got them from my best friends...from guys i had crushed on...from my first "Boy friend"...
Oh yea and don't you dare let a teacher see you passing one of these in class!
I do not know how many times we got to hear these read out loud in the middle of math...English...or history class! LoL

These were OUR "text messages"
These were my first love letters
There were how you say sorry to your BFF for forgetting to meet her at her locker during passing period
These are how i was asked to the school dance
These were how i you would communicate 'Back in the day"
I was doing some spring cleaning and found some of these stuffed in an old shoe box
It instantly brought a smile to my face


Ok what about this...

This my friends....made ANY kid think that they could be the next Stevie Wonder
With all the added extra buttons you could press to add drums...synthesizer...or any other weird/random sounds...this key board made it possible to have a jam session ANYWHERE! 
I know i begged and begged my parents for one...Casio was the brand to be correct...
and yup i got one.  It was the length of my small child twin bed and i played that thing ALL THE TIME!
I remember my parents "forgetting" to buy batteries for it so that i would not use it sometimes...LoL
Ahhhh yes...once upon a time i also thought i could be Alicia Keys...but i was lacking with my vocals and managed to remix "Mary had a little lamb" into 7 differences songs. 
Gahhhh i love being an 80's Baby!

So far TimeBomB Thursday has been a HIT!
I have gotten tons of positive feedback about this series an it makes people dance through memory lane and brings back the happy playful childhood memories they have. 
So i guess i should just keep going with the TimeBomb Thursday!


Who can say that they remember this little guy...


This hideous creature was the very first thing that gave me a nightmare. 
This probably the first movie i refused to watch again after seeing it the first time!
Before this hideous create evolved it was created from a "Mogwai"  
It was a white and brown furry animal with big bright eyes.  The main character of the movie named his pet Gizmo and was told NOT to feed it after midnight...keep it out of the bright light...and to not get it wet. As all of the rules are broken this horrible Gremlin is hatched causing all kinds of trouble for the town they live in...yes there was a sequel several years later and to this day i still can NOT watch that movie...LoL


And of course we CAN NOT forget about this toy...

The Farmer Says
This is called a  "Farmer Says".

It had a string or latch on the side you can push down.  What ever animal the red arrow was pointing at this amazingly annoying toy would say..."Farmer says Moooo....or meow....or quack" or whatever noise the animal happened to be.  This is a toy for younger kinds and i remember my older brother demolishing mine after having to listen to it on a road trip to a family function one year....LoL..
*Random thought* why are some children toys so annoying? They always have some repetitive noise or voice or something that makes you want to "lose" it so the child can not play with it anymore...

Well here is your flashback for this week. I hope i was not the only person terrorized by the Gremlin movie!

Happy Thursday to all!
With the weekend quickly approaching i hope that you all some fantastic plans for this weekend!
I plan on taking a camping/floating trip with some of my best gal pals!
I have been planning this trip for 3 months! so i am so so so excited for it to finally be here!
For those of you who will be traveling this weekend i hope that you guys have a safe journey to your locations and back home at the end of the weekend!



timebomb thursday



Who can remember these....




i absolutely LOVED looking in my lunchbox and seeing that my mom put one of these in it.
These would not only stay cold longer...BUT you got so much more CapriSun than those stupid flimsy pouches you had to poke your straw in!
Not to mention my favorite flavor ONLY came in theses aluminum can!
These were by far one of my favorite lunch time/snack time treats

OK OK...now who can tell me that they honestly have NEVER played with one of these...



Oh Mr. Simon...
I think i blame YOU for making me so easily amused.
I confess i would sit for HOURS on those rainy Saturday afternoons or on long road trips and play you.
I remember playing competitions with my cousins or the other kids around to see who could make it to the furthest level
Your tantalizing beeping noises still echo in my mind every time i see you
BUT i will thank you because of you i think i did indeed develop better hand/eye coordination skills
I would like to say that i am still the reigning champion for making it farther than ANY of my friends.
You Mr. Simon...are one toy that will forever be engraved in my childhood.

I hope these brought back a few Happy childhood memories for you guys!
Like i said have a good Memorial Day weekend and for those traveling have a safe trip!

Today is Thursday! 
...Ancient Greek ‘hemera Dios’ – day of Zeus
...Old English ‘thunresdæg’ – thunder’s day
...Latin ‘dies Jovis’- day of Jupiter
...good ole Fridays Eve!


But most importantly it is TIMEBOME Thursday! 

For this weeks Timebomb I would like to bring back the good ole memories of having these...

Teddy Ruxpin

Mr. Teddy Ruxpin...my best friend for the first few years that i was learning how to read.  This guy sung me to sleep many nights and read me bed time stories when my family members did not want to.  I remember taking this guy with me EVERYWHERE and even remember getting mad when i could not take him to day care or church with me.  So thank you Teddy Ruxpin for being my first official companion and friend!

The Skip It


This toy was created for kids who could not double dutch!! 
LoL

I remember may recesses where we would have Skip it competitions.  With the handy counter located on the side of the rotatory, this was a great toy that would allow us to have these kinds of competitions without anyone being able to cheat! The truth was there in the skip it! We would see who could go the fastest in a certain period of time...see who could run...do obstacle courses...or do any crazy ideas we could come up with! This is for sure a toy I remember using more than once!

Hope that these brought back some good memories of your childhood!


P.S. I am not on Instagram! So if you would like to follow me....click HERE :-)
I promise to try to post some great pictures...the small town i live is like living in the Bermuda triangle...LoL

This week's TimeBomb Thursday...


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles



Yes this group of crime fighting turtles stole my heart as a young girl.  I had the sheets...the figurines...the video games...and even went as one for Halloween one year (yes i know...i was def a tomboy!)
The Movies we my FAVORITE but i did not complain about the cartoon show that came on every Saturday morning. My favorite? Donatello the Purple turtle. 


I know that they are trying to come out with a new version of these guys...but it just wont be the same!!

The Giga Pet


Yes you were NOT cool at school if you did not have at least 3 of these somewhere in your backpack.  Between trying to feed it...clean up the "accidents" your pet would make...walking the animal...making sure it was in bed...this was the modern way to own a pet with half of the responsibility! 
Yes i will admit i think i had 3 or 4 giga pets and yes each had their own name. 
The giga pet is today's farmville that people like to play on Facebook! This was a toy i remember wishing very very very hard for when xmas time rolled around.  Thank you Santa for making me one happy little girl that Xmas!
