Sea Monkeys... most precious thing ever?

I'm sorry to tell you this Robin but Sea Monkeys are just brine shrimp. They don't have smiley faces and they don't wear crowns.

This is a brine shrimp though grossly out of scale. They are actually quite tiny.

BY the way, those X-ray glasses don't work either.

If one of my own little darlings were to ask me for them... I would tell them no too LOL

I always wanted all that stuff from the back of comic books too. My parents would never let me get any of it either.

Get your kids a Chia Pet. They're pretty inexpensive and they actually work. :-)

They are fun to watch

I was never afforded that opportunity, my parents seen to that.

Do it now;-)

What do they do?

they just swim around and multiply.

never heard of it

Look em up.. I was raised in the 80's, and they were everywhere. I would go to the store with my parents and beeeegggg to go see the toys.. there theyh were, looking at me, tempting me, so seducitive they were...

according to my dad, who believes himself to be an authoity of everythning, they are evil and cause insanity.
This is his thinking;
causes

SEA MONKEYS! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Yes, I had bunches of them--rec'd them in the mail. They're actually brine shrimp.

Tell me, were they as happy as they looked? Smiling down at me, taunting me with their smiles because they seemed to know my dad "worked too gd hard yadayadada to waste good money... yadadadadada" he was tuned out.. all heard was NO, lol. He also walked 123 miles one way to school, in snow and barefeet to school carrying a baked potato in his pocket so his hands wouldn't freeze, and that was also his lunch, and yes indeed. The snow was 7 foot deep. P.s. when I asked my grandma about this, she told me he walked to school, indeed. and it was only half mile away, and he always had shoes, gloves, etc.. and when it was bad, school was cancelled Just like now.Wonder where m y story telling comes from.

You're funny! The sea monkeys seemed happy; I know they made me happy!

hahhaha.. now you sound like my dad!

mission accomplished ;-)

You can buy "sea monkeys" (brine shrimp) in any aquarium supply store, much cheaper. I believe that you will be slightly disappointed. I always wanted a guitar but I guess that my parents thought that it would have put me on the highway to hell.

My cheapskate dad, gave me 2 dollars at a fair once.. like what am I going to do with that? Well, I spied it..a bike and it was a cool one too. It was 1st prize in raffle. So, I 'wasted' per him. my 2 bucks on 5 raffle tickets. Did not win the bike. Not suprised. Luck is not my friend. Good luck anyway... but I did win 2nd prize. He never would have known but they announced my name over the intercom.. 2nd prize was one full year of free (wait for it....) of accordian lessons. And... as my punishment, I had to take them. Yep. But I didn't have an accodiian. So, he worked something out with the guy at the music store and I had to buy one on time. I was 12 friggin' years old. Every cent I made babysitting, etc.. went to that goddammn accordian. Missed a payment ONCE, they called and of course, he answered the phoine.. for another day lol

An accordian, placed into the hands of anyone, instantly renders them 'the most unpopular kid in school... GET HER!"

Look at the bright side. It could have been tap dancing.

That would have been worse.. only bright side would have been I didn't have to buy a goddamn accordian

lol... this guy is hysterical.. 'I'm fat' video hahaha

Just wonderiing if my folks thought 'sea monkeys' would send me barrelling down that same highway? LOL.. \
