I was between 2 brothers .and they picked on me something awful. But at the same time if anyone tried to hurt me they would knock their lights out.

LOL, Speaking about the - olden - days. Does anyone remember making ice cream with a hand crank ice cream maker? Then getting to lick off the dasher when it was finally opened up. WoW what a treat.

I'm a only child and I was always lonely.So I knew that I wanted more than one child but never dream that I would have 5 Sons and They have given me 10 Grandchildren that make my world go around everyday. MY PRIDE AND JOY. They are our future.

I was born in the stone ages! My mom always said If you don.t behave yourself I will sell you to the sheenie man for a penny. Whenever I saw him coming I would run and hide, cause I never knew if that was the day I would get sold: Funny the things you remeber about your childhood

flame1cutie Joined Thu 04/24/08 Posts: 7307	Tue 09/09/08 04:51 PM
yeah, but they are such good memories, I haven't thought about alot of that stuff in a long time. This has been great.

Do you remeber black balls? Do they still sell them?

flame1cutie Joined Thu 04/24/08 Posts: 7307	Tue 09/09/08 04:56 PM
I'm not sure on that one what are they?

BettyB Joined Tue 01/29/08 Posts: 31912	Tue 09/09/08 04:59 PM
They were this candy the outside was black and they were kind of hot then when you sucked them they would go orange and then white.It would make your tongue all black and as a kid what could be better. I also remeber those candy lips.

flame1cutie Joined Thu 04/24/08 Posts: 7307	Tue 09/09/08 05:02 PM
ok, I remember them now, I also remember the waxed lips to those were alot of fun. You might be able to find the black balls in a bulk store, I'll check up here and let you know.
