I received this WCW Talking Championship belt as gift for my 8th birthday from my mother’s cousins cousin. She was a girl about my age that I only hung out with on a handful of occasions. I can remember her asking me if I liked wrestling before the presents were open. After I opened it I told her I didn’t really watch WCW. I realized in the moment that it was a mean thing to say. I never got a chance to let her know how much I loved the gift. I still have it 35 years later and even though I remember so many memories of that day so clearly, I could not tell you that girls name.
A White Castle JALAPENO CRAVIOLI dipped into the green chili aioli dipping sauce. This was awful. Hard. Dry. No jalapeño taste. No cream cheese taste. This just tasted like bad mush that was left out to get hard and then microwaved. Just awful. Terrible.
I received this magazine for Easter in 1993. I was 9 years old. I also received a 64 box of crayons and a pack of construction paper. My mother was working overnights at Cub Foods at this time and I remember thinking how she just bought the items on her way home from work. She was fired shortly after this for having a short register multiple times. She claimed it wasn’t her fault and they just had it out for her. The first time I can remember my mom claiming people had it out for her for no real reason. Shortly after this holiday is when things got really bad in my childhood. Easter 1993 is a memory I think back to often as one of the last times I really felt safe.
Neighbors update their giant skeleton for the holidays. This is Easter.
