I Can't Believe We Made It!

I mentioned this to an associate who pointed out that it's only we lucky survivors who get to sit around and say "Gee, wasn't that great."

hey I am a girl and did just as much as boys did, we went to abandoned mines and crawled around for hours, snuck onto a hidden army compound...had dirt fights...those who played understand the agony of getting hit with a mud covered rock has anyone played hit the bottle, with a baseball bat not the other one and can anyone foreget King of the mountain????

It wasn't my early childhood so much, but my early 20's. Looking back, I can't believe I made it out of my 20's! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was born in 1981, and I guess I was one of the last who experienced most of the things you mentioned... yet the omens of things to come were there to be noticed: no one failed their first grades, videogames were already quite popular and so on.

Those were the days, racing downhill with a bike, hitting the 90 per hour (km, not miles - our generation was technological enough to mount speed meters on bikes), then realizing the turn at the end of the road turned too much...
Or climbing on trees and realizing the branch wasn't as strong as it seemed...

I guess I am getting old if i remember those crazy things with a pang of nostalgia...

I STILL have to get my own switches. Soda is cheap in some places I know. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Like 25 cents. There's a card game I played recently called cowboys and indians... does that count? A local store you can get bubbles gum for 5 cents. [img]tongue.gif[/img] We still play tackle football, with no pads too. Sandlot baseball games? I still play those with friends. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I was born in the 90s and we still have some of the stuff you old people have! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
