Haha! I'm 36, and I still LOVE stuffed aminals. I use an uglydoll as a travel pillow."

Maybe you could do something adult-ish with your legos, like:

I'm jealous! I looked up Lego products but they have gazillions of specific sets. I want a generic set that's not meant to be something in particular. I like their Architecture sets though. I'm still looking over them. Perhaps I should hit Craigslist!


They still make plain sets: called "Bricks & More" set. It's the old skool pieces, nothing fancy.

Oh! Thanks :) That would be perfect. They're not the oversized kind for small children? I think I need to go a store and see them in person.

PS. Oh my! They have the LEGO® Creative Building Kit with 650 basic blocks!! ! But I only found one place in UK that sells it. There is also the 6177 LEGO® Basic Bricks Deluxe that easier to find. I need couple of these and maybe an electric train :oops: Maybe my wife won't divorce me...

Well, if your wife leaves you over Legos, maybe you can build yourself a new Lego wife. Um....

I picked up this nice set from Hand Health years ago. It has a pair of Chinese Medicine Balls (the metal balls with a chime inside - I have 3 different sets), 2 accupressure stimulis rings, and a cool little FiddlLink: Hand Health

It's great that you could fix it. Do you play with other toys to? I'm 44 but I've had this need for a long time to buy few sets of Lego blocks. But I wonder what my wife will think :oops: She knows I'm childish, but still :?:


Sometimes I do, but I haven't for a while. I have boxes full of Lego and Playmobil that I don't think I could ever get rid of, as well as my old doll house and furniture.
Another reason why I like the Tangle so much is that I can play with it without people thinking, "That's a child's toy, look at that weird person playing with a toy". I can have it in my hand at college and it's not particularly strange. I've never been told to put it away.


Oh, and with regards to the Lego, I say go for it. There are loads of adult Lego collectors.


My husband plays with legos all of the time :wink:

Me want one!! !

I have LOADS of koosh toys. You know those fuzzy plastic things that stretch? I lose them if I take them out though so I tend to wear a coat with lots of fluff or dangly bits on instead!


They still make those?! I know what I'm going to go get today! :wink:
