Cerek, I'll have you know that I loved Rubik's Cube. My best time was 1 minute....
Pong was a great game! We didn't have a Woolworth's, only a Sears. Not a real Sears, only an outlet where they sold lawn mowers, oven/ranges, and refrigerators--but they did have package pickup for your catalog orders! The worst problem in my middle school was, dare I say it, smoking. A cigarette, that is. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] Even then, it was only the really bad kids who had taken one from their dad's pack and was spoken about only in whispers. While growing up, I actually knew who my neighbors were! Imagine that! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

OH! And I almost forgot! I rode the Pink Pig at Rich's, got to see the tree there, too, every year...including *sigh* ...the last year ever. Got my picture taken on Santa's lap and the Easter Bunny's every year at Macy's. And I milked Rosebud. (I still have the pin Mathis Dairies gave each child who gave a tug on poor old Rosebud. [img]smile.gif[/img] )
Edit: because I just remembered, too, that *I* was the remote control for the t.v. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [ 11-08-2002, 08:39 PM: Message edited by: DragonMage ] |

We would stop in at the Rexall Drug Store/Phamacy for comic books, and then hit the Western auto to droll all over the new fishing lures [img]smile.gif[/img] There wasn't anyplace within bike riding distance to get junk food in our town. Just some candy at the Ben Franklin 5&10 |

Except for that year, I either stayed with a neighbor or by myself or with my best friend (as her mother didn't work) [img]smile.gif[/img]

No we never had any trees like that, so no fruit throwing LOL. I do remember though having a silk trees, which I miss, they are so pretty and smell so nice [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for the crawdads, we caught them in a creek with no bait at all, they were everywhere LOL, and didn't seem afraid of us at all, so never swam/crawled away (which is odd cause they can really be fast! I saw so many swim backwards and just shoot out of the fishtank like rockets! |
