Of course, *she* thought it was because I'd be passing it on to my kids someday. I (...)

Then hold on to it, resist the urge to sell it to get a few bucks, unless you (...)

You will hit an age when you don't feel 'embarrassed' about it. 2. best of luck Jonathan (26 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, lugnet.space, lugnet.basic, lugnet.technic, lugnet.town, lugnet.underground, lugnet.western)

| Hi Sergio, Maybe you're going through dark ages... maybe it's just a "dim" age, though. Or perhaps you have a builder's block. I personally slightly lost interest in lego for awhile (around 14-15), but sparked the interest again actually when we (...)
