to continue the discussion about the topic here, country singer Bucky Covington has a song out that uses some of the things discussed in this topic at the beginning. The song is called "A Different World"

What do steel splinters and country music and the 1970s have to do with each other?

Good question, Damo.
When you figure it out, request an open channel with me, and let me know.

np Sarika!

During vacation I got to see my brother and his wife and we all agree that the kids of today unless the parents are hard on them like ours were on us won't be able to cope with the real world! My hubby has heard of parents going on job interviews with their kids!

I was watching some commercials from the 70's and boy do I remember those clothes they wore in those days. I found a shirt I used to wear way back then and it still fits!

All the houses were open to all of us, no knocking required! My parents and their parents were always visiting each other...

When I see those "It takes a village" words, it makes me think of that sense of a village.

Anyways, looking back on it now, I had an AWESOME childhood. We played kickball, releive-e-o, hide and seek, wiffleball, baseball, basket ball, hockey...I think every sport really....we went to the park, signed up for summer activities and arts and crafts....on our own! He had tree forts out in the woods, played "army wars" against the kids on the *other* side of the block. There was even a scary cave we used to dare each other to go in! It was a freaking blast. Miss those days....

Westy,

You just described my childhood and as much as we parents have tried, unfortunately, our children will never experience anything like that.

I miss those days, too.


PS .. You mentioned wiffle ball... well, every couple of years the "gang" gets together and plays a game then, one of the families hosts a little get together buffet for us. (It's a real hoot watching us since the youngest of the original gang is 45. Needless to say, we get the "second generation" into the game as much as possible.)

Ah yes, I miss the good ol' days playing tribble ball or punch the Volcan to see who can get them to flinch first...I miss those days.

Yeah I had to agree, neighborhood moms were everyone's mom. If that was not so then I would have gotten in a whole lot more trouble than I did. Knowing that every mom was able to interact and intervene made it more difficult for me to wreak havoc on the other pataQ cowards in my neighborhood.

(No I wasn't a bully but I loved to torture those who were bullies, in fact they all had to unite and gang up on me in order to beat me in a fight but when I found them by themselves...ooooo they would get the beating of their lives. They would ride by my house on the bikes on the opposite side and go real fast or I would grab their bikes and throw them down and tear into them, By Kahless I hate bullies. There is no honor in fighting a battle you know you can win).
