Sweet!! ...I used to shoot...We LOVED our marbles...We would get them out of our "marble bag", shine em up, trade em!...Aggies, steelies, cat eyes, peewees, glassies!!!...Marbles were big shakes and if you had prize marbles you could "get in" anywhere!! ...Unfortunately, like you I lost my marbles when I was about 9 or 10 and life's been a struggle ever since! ...Nice one D!!

And those big steelMarbles... loved admiring my marble collection... each one different from the next.. shiny glass little worlds on to themselves.. .... and unlike kids today.. when they lose our run out of something..... back then your parents did not run out to replace it automatically...If .you lost your marbles, tough beans. .

lol, we used to trade our marbles....isn't it funny how our mothers never know what happened to our toys when we moved out the first time? Our mothers know what happened to our marbles. I know she does.

first things first... for that sharpshooting marble shooting beauty.. .. .. now... yes trading them that was all part of it.... and trash talking to each other..lol.... I vaguely remember how you play the game though.... I remember a circle...... and I think each player puts one or two marbles in the circle to begin with..... I think! it's all very hazy.. .... I still get little flashbacks.. now and then..... little memory splinters..... I can see the schoolyard..... oh and springtime... I remember clearing away the snow so we could play marbles... . because we just could not wait.!.. all winter without play marbles outside...god.. I loved.. that game..hmmm.. .

I never lost my marbles, so to speak. I know exactly what I did with them. They made great slingshot ammo.

They made great slingshot ammo. Hopefully aimed at squirrels?

think, make yourself think.!. .. where did you lose your marbles? .OH I REMEMBER NOW! . but I could have sworn, I just had my marbles ..yesterday.. When I read this, I thought, you were talking about losing your MIND, forgetting, forgetting where you put your keys, not remembering the small stuff! Have you ever heard folks say, "He must have lost his marbles (mind)?"
