I had this ginormous stuffed dog when I was younger that seriously was about the size of a real dog. The funny thing is:I gave it the most ridiculous name ever...........Doggy. That's it!? I couldn't come up with a better name than ******* Doggy? That's a really funny example of childhood laziness right there, lol.

I find it cute and I named one of my pet fishes Elmo due to my Elmo obsession.

i remember when tbs showed music videos back in the 80's on Friday nights, my mom would let me and my sister stay up late and watch them.

I know what you are talking about. A very old show called Night Tracks.

yep, but you can't do a show like it now days, because today's music, doesn't have that certain oomph, that music did back then.

That's so true.

I was talking to my mom last night about one of my earliest memories I have - I was likely 2 years old, and it was nighttime. I just remember being in my room looking at my TV, and it was playing the opening of the Sesame Street video The Alphabet Game with the logo and gold curtain; then I walked out and into the room with our old IBM PC computer, and I had been playing an educational ABCs game which was a DOS-type game. There was a picture of a happy little sun on the screen with the words "S - Sun".

There's another faint memory I have from around the same time where I was watching my Disney Sing-Along video on the TV, and it was the song "Friendship" with Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

Anyone else ever have memories of houses pop into their heads at random times? I often get images of specifc room layouts, and usually they're just places I've been, rarely places where I lived.

For some reason or another, I have several dreams about the house I lived in for the first 13 years of my life. Dreams where my family lives there. Sometimes it's my whole family, and other times it's just me and my sister. I seriously don't know why.

My family grew up in Newark, NJ. Both sets of grandparents lived two blocks from each other.
By the mid-70's everybody moved out. Once in a blue moon I drive past, wondering, for the last 40+ years, who has been living there since.

One time, my parents and I were eating out at a local restaurant when this man from church that I hadn't seen in years came up to us and asked me to fix this phone. I was naturally quite nervous about the thought of fixing the phone of someone I really don't know very well but I agreed either way. He then stuck his hand into his pocket and pulled out a block of wood with a piece of tape attached to it that read,
"Hillbilly phone". I was laughing really hard when I saw that but also relieved that I didn't have to fix someone's broken phone.
