popsjumper 2 #88 October 31, 2007 Quote metal roller skates that you wore over your shoes and you had to have a key to tighten. ...and YOU! Another nightmare revisited. I cringe to think about how much skin was lost and blood spilled because those damned things always came off at high speed. How about... Kid-made boxcars with steel skate wheels. Kites made out of newspaper. An outhouse. Hand-operated water pump in the house. The Beatles live. (In Twardo's case, Beethoven, live.)My reality and yours are quite different.

I can still remember them and how it was such a big deal when I got the roller skates with the white boot for Christmas one year. Your family must have been rich. You could afford sidewalks to skate on. We lived in the country and had no use for skates. How about kids walking to and from school 10 miles in a blizzard uphill each way? At least that's what my Dad told me that's what he had to do whenever our school was closed for an inch of snow. What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we would complain about the heat, they would bring out the blizzard stories and how we should be thankful that they moved us to FL!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpoutnow 0 #97 October 31, 2007 In 1965, I went with my Grandfather to buy the blue tractor that is at The Farm. While in the middle of the civil rights movement, he still used Blacks as farm labor. I still vividly remember going to where the laborers lived in their shanty homes to pick them up for work to pick cotton. They worked all day picking cotton, getting paid by the pound. I still have the scale they used to weigh the cotton. On days when my grandfather wasn't busy farming, he took me by a prison work camp. He would point out to me the prisoners in the chain gang. Middle of August 95 plus degrees busting rocks with sledgehammers. He told me "Boy, if you ever mess up that is where you will be". 42 years later I can still hear him say that. He bought a new Chevrolet truck in 1966. With three on the tree, no radio, in-line six, no power anything. The only luxury item was a heater. I remember in 1978, my grandparents putting in a wall mount rotary dial phone. My grandfather would not use it. My beautiful Grandmother is still here. She has my Grandfather's Georgia driver's license with her. Signed with an "X". She has worked all her life and never has had a driver's license. Yeah, my kids will never see this kind of stuff.People are crazy. Cuz there's more of 'em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 622 #99 October 31, 2007 I drove Ford tractors and the bus to pick up the workers that picked citrus when I was young. My grandfather was a grove superintendant here in Florida. Man was driving that bus an experience! The homes they lived in...the stops for beer on the way to take them home...paying them .25 cents a pick sack. With coupons. Per pick sack as they dumped them in the wagons behind the tractor. man did you bring back memories! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
