A Long, long time ago... Memories of Star Wars

Why would someone delete this? Is it so offensive? I can't understand people...


"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.......

Do you remember your first Star Wars movie?
---
good story....
j.x. - shanghai, china
---
---
wow that's impressive artestry!
---
VERY IMPRESSIVE, I am not into the star wars thing but the art work was great
---
It's pointless to ask why someone does something...we'll never really know and it's a waste of time and energy.

I do remember my first Star Wars movie...I was a pre-teen and my stepfather took my brother and I to see it. I was blown away! First and only movie I ever saw in a theatre five times.
---
my kids would love this.

---
Awesome art. I don't really remember when I first saw the original Star Wars movies. I do remember, though, that my older brother introduced me to the movies. I loved them instantly. Darth Vader has always been a favorite character of mine. Not just a favorite Star Wars character, but just a favorite character period.
---
I was in my teens when the very first SW movie came out.

When we left the theatre, we were so hyped about the story and the special effects.

We couldn't wait for the sequel to come out.

It help define a whole generation and technology.

I wish I can go back in time an relive the whole experience.
---
I remember seeing the first movie when I was 17 and my Mom had just died and my friend worked at the theater and I went there to hang out and saw the movie and really liked it! I may have watched it more than once!!!
---
it was pretty amazing when it first came out.

Memories of a Loved One

What is your fondest memory of loved one?

---

I had just gone through a divorce and was feeling like a failure. On that Thanksgiving my 21 year old son wrote a letter and read it to me in front of all of my dinner guests. He said how thankful he was for me and all the support I had given him over the years. How he felt he could never repay for the life lessons I had taught him.

---

playing hide and seek in the garden with my grandpa when i was little. he hid behind the rose bushes and cos i was so small i couldn't see him. i cried and cried cos i thought he'd left me but then he ran out and scooped me up in his arms and said he'd never leave me. he died in march 2006. love you grandpa bill. -x-x-x-

my grandma died 10 years ago. I was lucky to have a grandma for 33 years of my life. We would sit and talk and talk and talk. She was always interested in everything I did and told the most wonderful stories of her life. I will miss her forever in this life, and look forward to the day I see her in eternity.

My sister and I laughing when we shouldn't eg in church. She was someone I only had to look at if something funny happened to start the giggling. She died 10 years ago at age 34.
---
my friends when i can tell them everything and we laugh about something only we can understand
---
I had a hard child life, I spent time with my grandmother. One night while trying to sleep grandmother must have senced that something was bothering me. She laid beside me and said "honey if you ever feel alone, or something is bothering you, just look at the moon, you can see Jesus there, you can always talk with him" She died when I was 8, she was only 55. To this day I can look in the moon and see a profile of Jesus. Miss you grandma, and your wonderful creme pies!! Arkansas 10/07/2006
---
My fondest memory of a loved one, was not actually a human friend of mine, but a kitten I once owned. She was a jet black Himalayan Persian x Tonkinese and the sweetest little girl. Sadly she was attacked by a dog and was put to sleep a few years ago. She will be sadly missed.
---
I'm am so touched by your stories, especially about your grandparents. This was something I missed in my childhood.

---
well said!
---
What bored bottle¡¡¡¡
---
If you find it boring last poster, then simply don't contribute your 2 cents worth. Just pass it on to someone else.
---
Well I'm glad I'm not the only oldie here. I left school in 1972 after 3 years of "high school" that is Grades 8 - 10 or ages 13 - 15. Then went to Secretarial College for a year and got a job until I got married and had my first baby who is now 24. All my children did 5 years of high school and learnt Chinese some of which is similar to Japanese apparently. I have no desire to do further study or to work outside the home. Motherhood is my career and its the best.
Sorry to go on so long!
---
Would have graduated in 72 but ran away from home for a career picking berries with Mexican migrants in California LOL
---

been there, done that,
thank god its over

My husband was at the Pentagon, I was in tears

I was getting ready for work, a friend called and told me to turn on the TV, I sat in front of it like a child and cried.
---
I was getting ready for work also. It was a horrible tragedy that those who did it have not payed for their crimes.
---
i was only 5 years old then and i had no idea why everyone was so sad... now i'm 10 and i know that tragic loss... many lives lost... paying tribute everyday i wake up i always think of the people who suffered(not just the people that were there) their families and friends and lovers. I just wish we could go back and start over again and makeit so that no one got killed then but you see it's a pathetic child's wishes they'll never come true....

Scariest Moments

What was your scariest moment?
---
I remember one moment at a ship this summer when we were getting off it the crowd begun to scream and going backwards. I thought a crazy driver was getting in towards the people but was nothing like it. Just two companies were angrily just fighting. I thought that was the end of my life. It was relly scaring!
---
Hmm...probably when I thought I was going to get caught after having done something I shouldn't have. I'm not going to say what!
---
Too many to pick out one that is scariest.
---
Flying over the Dolomites through air disturbance in a very small plane.
---
Too horrible abuse to even talk about here
---
I'm sorry about the abuse and I hope you heal soon.
---
In recent years the most scary moment was getting an official-looking letter from the IRS -- and as it turned out, it wasn't a big deal. But the IRS is scary.

But people facing real danger -- that's something else.
