What have you lost that you wish you had back?

Oh PamO... I've lost so many treasured things. But what I wish I had back most are the souveineers (I dunno how to spell that) of my life. My family lost home videos, family photos, newspaper clippings I was in, and etc.

My virginity. I wish I had auctioned it on eBay

Ahhh, I see. Sworovski crystal? Waaaaaaaaaaaah.

However, I'm having a hard time imagining this object. Do you know how to find and post images?? (Stupid tall brush! Whenever I go hiking I wear old clothes and no jewelry. It's just not worth it.)

Mchol -- Some of those newspaper clippings you could probably get again. Sad about the rest. Everyone says the first things they'd save from a burning house (after the people and pets) are their photographs. (love your signature line)

I took off two rings to wash my hands when I was in college, ages ago, and left them on othe sink. When I realized my loss and went back a few minutes later, they were gone. One was a gold ring that had been my grandfather's, the other was gold and had a large jade ball on it. I really wish I hadn't lost my grandfather's ring.

I love Gautam. I was looking at pictures from a few years back...pre- babies...I told my husband that I wished I had known how great I looked...I could have exploited myself and made some money. He says Hey honey, it's never too late to exploit yourself for money. hee hee.

Hm, you think? I guess I could call the paper and ask them.... But yeah, it was a really tragic loss.

When I was a child I had a teddy bear named nee-nee, and a drum music box lamp. My parents were big into getting rid of things as I outgrew them. I wish I had them back now.

PamO- I think you still look great! Which one is you? The one on the right?

BTW, if anyone see's my innocence could you please let me know. I sure do miss it and would love to have it back.

Sorry about your family items, Mchol. I'd hate that too. Now you can save stuff like that through Mac. All of our family stuff has been converted onto Mac's system...it's a nice peace of mind.

You can say that, squinney! How I am tainted.... (sigh)

Thanks Squinney, you're a doll. No, I'm the tall yellow one on the left...the one with the unibrow and saggy yellow you know what's under my striped cardigan. Ohh, to get those 80's back!

What, G? Definitely Southeby's, not eBay. Waaay too tacky.

Mchol -- Definitely, I think that you could get those back. If you're anywhere near a good-sized library (like the UW Library or the downtown Seattle Public) then you could probably search for and find those newspapers on microfiche or some other format, then you can make copies. Or... you can contact the newspaper directly.

Was it a fire or something like that?


Jim -- I'm sorry about nee-nee. I had a chimpanzee doll named Zippy that I wish I had back, too.

Theft. I guess they didn't check the boxes before they decided to take it.

Mchol -- That's a shame. There are rats in the world, sad, but true.

Hey Jim, My older sister is really upset that my mom "thinks" she may have given her Holly Hobbie doll to Salvation Army. Beck's in another state, and STILL asks about it. "Has Mom found my Holly Hobbie doll yet, Pam?" I had a Mrs. Beasley doll i'd love to have back. sniff

Other than a firm chin, I wish I'd kept my girl scout sash and merit badges. Also, my mother's old mixing bowls.

When our house burned, the first thing we saved was ourselves. Then my mother's violins.

I wish I had my books back.

I WANT MY BOOKS BACK!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Oh my. I feel for both of you. Theft is ugly and criminally invasive, damn those mf's to hell, but fire is a devastation with few comparisons. That's always been one of my biggest fears.
