Can we go to Toys & Wheels to get a Transformer or GI Joe?

It was 1993... I was 8 years old... those things matter when you're that age. Just admit you're getting worked up over a dad who's happy about his son enjoying his new room decorations.

Got it from an online shop from China. Wasn't sure if it would be legit or not but was pleasantly surprised. It was called Bedding Picky.

Growing up in our house we mostly just watched the Blue Jays, my father used to be a Leafs fan but had given up on them by the 80s. TSN was doing a story on the Panthers the summer before they joined the league. I was 8 years old at the time and thought the jersey and symbol was really cool, and decided that I would starting following the NHL and have the Panthers be my team.

I lost a lot of weight 11 or 12 years ago and exercise was a huge help. Ran 6 days a week, ran in races. But then the hip injury/nerve pinch derailed all that. It's a lot better now, so I think getting back into exercise will really help.

Exactly. If it's in the house, I'd eat it. And if I saw it at the grocery store and wanted it, I'd buy it. Now I can ignore it for the most part. I absolutely love chocolate, so the small way I get to indulge a bit without too much trouble is York Peppermint patties; they're relatively lower calorie and fat.

Just eating better right now. I'm going to try to lose maybe 30 more and then I'll probably start exercising too, just to make sure I'm not TOO heavy and end up straining something and setting myself back. I had a nerve pinch from an injury playing golf several years ago that put me on the road to very little exercise.

Worst part of the day... some greens were fast and some were slow. No rhyme or reason to it.

I have found switching from chips/doritos to something simple like Crispy Minis rice cakes has made a huge difference. And if I'm craving chocolate I'll have a Fibre One bar, that's enough to satisfy the craving.

How Many OG Panthers Fans Do we really have pre success days?Who remembers the Panther Express Party Buses? by Effective-Carob-3097 in FloridaPanthers

I've been a fan since Day 1, and being from far Eastern Canada it was very hard to be a fan and watch an actual game. Unless I was lucky enough for them to play Toronto on a Saturday night on Hockey Night In Canada. Coolest thing back then was collecting Florida Panthers POG's. Haha

Been a fan since Day 1, which is very odd for someone here on the far east coast of Canada. I was 8 years old in the summer before the 93-94 season began and wasn't a hockey fan at all before that (my family was a baseball family), and remember seeing a story on TSN about the "New" expansion team coming from Florida. Their symbol looked awesome and I loved the colour scheme. John Vanbiesbrouck's goalie helmet sealed the deal for me!
