    We all seem to think about the up coming events, boating, partying, you know the good stuff. Chill and think about some of the past good times we used to have:
    AHHHHHHHHHH MEMORIES!!!
    Close your eyes...And go back...
    ....Before the Internet or PC or the MAC......
    ....Before semi-automatics and crack....
    ....Before Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari...
    ....Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail and e-mail....
    ....way back....
    ....way.....way.....way back.....
    I'm talkin' bout hide and seek at dusk
    Red light, Green light
    Red Rover....Red Rover.....
    Playing kickball & dodgeball until the first...no...second...no...third
    Streetlight came on
    Ring around the Rosie
    London Bridge
    Hot potato
    Hop Scotch
    Jump rope
    Duck....duck....GOOSE!!!
    YOU'RE IT!!
    Parents stood on the front porch and yelled (or whistled) for you to come home - no pagers or cell phones
    Mother May I?
    Hula Hoops
    Seeing shapes in the clouds
    Endless summer days and hot summer nights (no A/C) with the windows open
    The sound of crickets
    Running through the sprinkler
    Cereal boxes with that GREAT prize in the bottom
    Cracker jacks with the same thing
    Ice pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend
    ...but wait.....there's more....
    Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
    Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man,
    Schoolhouse Rock
    Watchin' Sunday morning oldies (Abbott & Costello, Three Stooges)
    Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos
    FONZIE.....AYYYYYYYY
    Playing Dukes of Hazard
    Christmas morning
    Your first day of school
    Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses
    Climbing trees
    Swinging as high as you could to try and reach the sky
    Getting an Ice Cream off the Good Humor Truck
    A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
    Jumpin' down the steps
    Jumpin' on the bed
    Pillow fights
    Sleep-overs
    A 13" black and white TV in your room meant you were RICH
    Runnin' till you were out of breath
    Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
    Being tired from PLAYING
    WORK: meant taking out the garbage or doing the dishes
    Your first crush
    Your first kiss (I mean the one that you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN
    Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" or hangman" in the classroom, Remember that?
    Oh, I'm not finished yet....
    Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
    So was a swig from the hose
    Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars
    Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
    Class Field Trips with soggy sandwiches
    When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there
    When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance;
    and another quarter a MIRACLE
    When ANY parent could discipline ANY kid, or feed him, or use him
    to carry groceries...And nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
    When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to
    the fate that awaited you at home.
    Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of
    drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
    Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of
    us are still afraid of em!
    Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember
    that!"
    Well, let's keep going!!
    Let's go back to the time when...
    Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"
    Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
    "Race issues" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
    Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
    Catching polywogs could happily occupy a morning
    It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
    Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
    The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
    Nobody was prettier than Mom
    Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom or grandma and made better
    It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.
    Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true
    (or for some of us . . . getting a foot in the snow!)
    Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"
    Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
    The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
    Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon.
    Older siblings were your worst tormentors, but also your fiercest protector
    If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
    The real good days!!!!!
