And don't forget about the things we'd bring back: frogs, tadpoles, snakes, fools gold, and scrapes, splinters, chipped teeth, bruises (from the rock fight), open wounds requiring stitches and the occasional broken bone. What a life!
Mercurochrome on the scrape if it wasn't our fault... and if we were just stupid, then we got the Merthiolate! OMG that stuff burned like the flames of perdition!
All cuts and scrapes got kerosene at my house. It would close a cut quicker then you could yell.. and you would yell.

We got iodine, which also stung.
And we were untethered. Mom didn't know where we were once we left on our bikes (and probably spank us if she found out).

The image failed to load for me. Then as I reply as such I can view it.
Odd, won't load for me either.

That's great!
And it reminds me of the funniest thing I ever read in a bathroom stall: "Here I sit, broken-hearted..."
Nah, I'm just kidding.
When I was in undergrad, I was taking physics (for non physics majors), and the class was in the physics building. One afternoon before class I stopped in to do business, as they say.
After I assumed the position, I saw some writing on the wall, but it was low and at an angle, so I had to bend over to read this:
"You are now shi**ing at a 45° angle."

I'm pretty sure we were the last generation to enjoy a real childhood. On a sunny summer day, we would take off on our bikes around 9 AM and wouldn't be home until the streetlights came on. No cell phones, no tracking, no checking in, nothing but freedom and no one tried to kidnap us. We'd bike along the main roads looking for discarded Coke bottles we could turn in at the store for 5 cents deposit on each: and cash that out in Bazooka bubble gum. If we hit the jackpot, we could afford a cold Coke or an ice cream bar. Ah, those were the days... and the cars looked cool, too.

Doesn't get much better than that, Chief.
Did anyone take their sister's metal roller skates, hammer them flat and nail them to a plank of wood? The first skateboard!
Before skateboards there were scooters around here. You couldn't steer them but they had a T handle to hang onto. They weren't that popular until two kids from California moved into the neighborhood. They had a real skateboard and we were soon converting our scooters into wannabe skateboards. Real skateboards didn't happen around here until the mid sixties. I know I had one in 66. I rode it into my freshman algebra class while wearing a wig of long hair.. gave the teacher the peace sign and after a brief exchange of love and peace verbiage I was kicked out of school for three days. Schools had no sense of humor back then.
So this is the most active thread on this site and it's been rendered useless until Rob gets back from The Lollipop Guild to fix it. What do we do now?
I'm having zero problems posting pics.
Lucky you. Funny story, for years I thought you were Rob's grandfather and he was using you for free labor 🤓
No relation.. never met the guy. I was a guide and they felt sorry for me and promoted me to mod. It's been a rewarding experience... not monetarily
You will have to admit, we've had some grand times with some fine people through the years.
Well I had the perfect picture to accompany this thread. Seems that there is an issue with loading up photos.
Just saying.
I wish I had an answer why I have no problem posting pics and you guys can't. It makes no sense.
