    I remember 5, 15, 17, and 22. I also remember a lot of 25 and up. However, a lot of those are still in use. For example, there's are several permanent hop scotch at my youngest son's school that are used all the time.

    Here's another "do you remember" list:
    1) Brining a knife to school mean that you had to pick it up from the principle at the end of the day (instead of having the police arrest you).
    2) Getting in fight at a school was solved by apologizing (instead of a police report and a lawsuit).
    3) When a .22 rifle was a toy for a little boy.
    4) When you had a store bought chemistry set that come with acid strong enough to etch metal with.
    5) When telling a co-worker that she is beautiful was a compliment and not grounds for termination.

    Now I'm depressed...
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I remember way to many of them...definitely no news reels before movies for me, but close.

    the gf comes from a small town in Canada and they just switched from 4 to 7 digit dialing
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Lol, I grew up in butt fuck no where and there's always been 7 digits. We just moved to having using 10 digits all the time now.
    I love getting high, I hate getting low, and I like to drive my truck down a muddy dirt road.

    I'm a great believer in luck and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it.

    Well, I am getting older so they say...I must admit, what was a part of my life with the above, and what I knew of are two different things.

    So, guess I move with the times. I got killed with the school games. Heck, I wondered where the metal uneven bars were? Nowadays, the school would be sued off its...you know the score.

    I am inside sick today, as well found out a dear friend in New York is ill, and right on time with this topic for my birthday is next week.



    You made me smile. Thank you so much Min!!!!!

    just because there are no street lights doesn't mean everyone should just butt fuck.

    What if your so old you can't remember shit, and score a 0....this system is flawed!!!!!
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
