| | | (...) That's why I went into my dark ages... buying toys became too embarassing. Luckily it doesn't matter so much when you're older... :) I'm 22 and spend more time in toy stores now than I did when I was 8... <G> The other good thing is if I do (...)

| | | | Hey Erin, Here's my $.02 I'm 25, so a bit older than you. This may or may not apply, but it's my feelings on the issue. I guess I fall into the "should be embarrassed" catagory, since I am probably too young lookign to have kids with LEGOs, and too (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | I have been getting something like this more and more. After I tell people the Lego is for me I get a response along the lines of, "I wish I could play with Lego! I'd feel funny though." I always tell them not to worry about it, and buy some if they (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
