Hi Everyone: Can anyone here please tell me if you can still buy knockers, Lincoln logs, and kaleidoscopes? Thank you. Do they still make slinkys and jacks? Sincerely, Judy

I do know they still make slinkys...I buy them for the garden to hopefully slow down the squirrels getting to the bird feeders. We know we can't stop them...they are just too dang clever!

What are knockers?

Knockers were a toy that was glass and had string. You used to get them to hit each other. They were a lot of fun.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
