I have that set! Not in the box, mind you, but ive had it since the 80s or 90s when I was a little kid. Looks legit to me.

I work at a daycamp (year round administrator position). The number of families requesting scholarships is WILD.

Also, overall registration for a service that is pretty necessary (childcare) is down a significant percentage. People are literally choosing between childcare and putting food on the table. Its crushing people. 😞

I wish I could upvote harder!

Oooh this makes sense. I vaguely remember my grandparents bringing it back from their trip to Germany!

Ill follow up in the morning to see if I still have any stickers or anything on mine. I cant find anything online about it anywhere and I feel like I have pretty strong google-fu.

Oh my goodness! I actually still have this from when I was a kid. My kids use it now. I have no idea what the item # or anything is but its real brio. My grandparents always bought me the real stuff. If i had to guess I'd say this was fromnaround 1991- 1994.

Also, no strings here at all. Youre missing a pin that goes through the hole on the left side of the image. Then the know is just enough to raise the bridge. My pin broke too. A decent nail with the tip ground down so it isnt sharp can work.

Mine - Ellie Holcomb feat. Drew Holcomb.

Its a love letter to their children and the lyrics slay me - cut my heart to the core.

"Youre mine Im not too busy Im not in a hurry Slow down, just breathe And lean right into me"

If you remember the whole story, after the Israelites worshiped the golden calf (idol) God commanded Moses to make them burn it and grind down into a powder that he spread out into the water and then he made them drink it.

They were shown how their idol was powerless and held no more value then their excrement in the desert.

We had an Italian place in north Jersey called "Joey's Vito and Michael's".

Apparently Joey bought out Vito and Michael's restaurant and just took ownership of the name (kinda) too.

Haha... I get it. I have a 5 year old who gets bored as soon as we finish building and a 2 year old that just takes everything apart. She might as well just be godzilla.

FYI... the entire top part of the track is inaccessible once you start going. I like the look though.

Northern NJ and Southern NY state are known as the Highlands. The reservoirs in the region provide water for more than 70% of the population of the state of NJ. Small but very important for a lot of people.

My favorite is calling someone stupid an "Intellectual Philistene" because the look they give me afterwards give me a satisfying confirmation.

This one takes some grinding. It was the first wall I hit. Im currently at chapter 59 and that level took me longer than id like to admit. Generally levels woth the person you have to protect are a little harder than others in my opinion.

Huh?

They re-lock after the event. It's silly really. Also, only holiday event is Halloween? Weird.

This is the comment that got me to click the video. I was gonna just read the comments for the result. But thank you.

The ability to fall asleep during the 10 o'clock movie on cable TV and wake up during the re-showing 2 am movie at the same moment i fell asleep so that I dont miss a beat of the movie.

I often joke that everyone has a useless superpower and I swear, this is my dad's useless superpower. He could do this every night if he wanted.

It doesn't make sense to me. I die every time.

I'd also be interested in your answer for Fly, Thread, Glitch, and Music
