    We had fairly decent sized cliff near where we lived. Part way down it there was a section of it filled with soft sand. We'd station one guy near the spot you needed to jump from to the top to hit the sand. (missing was not an option) Geronimo was the cry needed to make a successful jump!


    sounds dangerous and fun...what great memories

    If our parents only knew...

    I have told that story to my kids, and my wife tells me I shouldn't have. oops:tongue:

    BONZAI!!!!!!! was our normal "dangerous jump" cry. Usually into the river by our house or off the roof into a snow pile... Oddly, I've never fully broken a bone (that I know of...)

    My first cellphone was the size of a block of cheese

    Her first cell phone. Haha! I thought shoe phones were the coolest thing anyone had ever thought of! Wouldn't it be cool if all of us could have one, not just Agent 86. No need to find a dime for the pay phone.

    Hell, I got ran over by a tractor and didn't cry until I saw the girl that was driving it crying. I was 8. Didn't break a bone. Got some pretty awesome tread mark bruises, and a gnarly scar on my side, though.

    And your parents probably didn't even think about calling a lawyer....

    I'm so old that when I was a kid and Dad came home, we all ate together at the dinner table and talked to each other about our day. There was no texting going on at the table. Oh yeah, whatever Mom prepared, you ate.

    Then we got our homework done, so we could all sit down together and watch one of the three TV stations. We watched shows like "My Three Sons", "Leave It to Beaver" and "The Donna Reed Show." On Sundays, of course there was "The Ed Sullivan Show."
