Muenkel 0 #201 November 3, 2007 Quote Does anybody out there remember party lines. I lived in a small ranching community of roughly 200 people and there were 3 to 6 people on every phone line which meant when you picked up your phone to make a call, chances were you were going to hear your neighbor gossiping about you to your other neighbor.

Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites nanook 1 #224 November 6, 2007 Quote tying kite string to june bugs _________________________ This made me laugh. WTF???? It was a fond memory of mine. . . It was that time of the year and the june bugs all of a sudden would come out, but never in June of course. All the neighborhood kids would get some string and make a small slip-knot and tie them foward enough to not intefere with their wings but between a pair of legs so it won't slide off. The other end would be tied to your middle finger. My big sister would tie one for me. Then we would walk around showing off our tethered pets. They wouldn't cooperate most of the time. Sometimes they would lazily buzz and fly alongside you with a little slack on the string. A heavier-than-air replacement for a balloon. But what would usually happen is they flew to the end of the string and you have a pendulum of buzzing death; the trajectory path always hitting someone else in the face or the top of one's head. It's like walking a chihuahua that can maneuver in three dimensions. It got more complicated when you tried to ride your bike: a hand-me-down pink girl's bike with a banana seat with cards in the spoke. do kids today see hand-me-downs?_____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites LisaH 0 #225 November 6, 2007 Quote Quote tying kite string to june bugs _________________________ This made me laugh.
