Unfortunately, the guild system isn't set up to unban people - and I didn't find this out until after I had banned him... I'm thinking warnings after this is a better idea. gonk

Ohh the good old times.
Be in when the street lights go on, playing hide and seek in the middle of a forest, showing strangers the way if they got lost and you didn't get raped or molested in any other way..you could actually take candy of them an survive it.
We used to go skating in the middle of a lake in winter and went swimming in rivers or the canal...now you go to the canal and it's all fenced off so that you can't get into the water anymore.. sad

Tag! Whatever happend to double dutch? Or simply playing jump rope?
Anyone else like me who grew up in the north country and remember the twilight lasting til 10pm in the summer? Once in a long while we even got to see the Northern Lights. Our local fire dept would come out and turn the front field at our school into an outdoor skating rink. I remember our first color tv, first air conditioner and first microwave, too. I was already grown and on my own by the time my folks got their first computer.
Gotta love it!

I was born in the late 70s.. so most of my childhood was growing up in the 80s, but.. you know I remember most of that.
I also remember when putting a baseball through someone's window during a game in the street resulted in you working off your debt to them by mowing yards and washing windows and cars and stuff.
I also remember block parties. Anyone else remember when the block would put in for permission to set up road blocks at both ends of the street and everyone would gather at someone's house.. you'd have a fire in a trashcan and adults drank beer and talked to each other while us kids ran around playing with each other and the neighborhood dogs... until we passed out and had to be carried home?
I can also remember when you went over to someone's house to play, you sure the heck respected their parents. And often you had to ask your folks if you could go do something (go to Matt's, go to the park, go outside to play) and it always was determined by if you had your homework and chores done. Chores! Homework being finished! I mean.. yeah.
And you know.. no one knew if we were dyslexic or not.. we just had to try harder. And we certainly weren't on as many medications and pills as our grandparents. Most we took were daily vits, if that, and the stuff when we were deathly sick. Because we didn't go to the Doc for a cold.
Ah.. nostalgia...

Hey, our neighborhood has block parties. and any party held in someone's driveway instantly becomes a block party, planned or not! xd But we live in military housing. Totally different world in here sometimes.

Thanks for the memories. I remember playing horseshoes across the road and being called home when our first tv set was delivered. It was a black and white console model. We only got one channel, and nothing was on until 6 pm. I was five, and I watched the test pattern for hours until Douglas Edwards with the News came on for 15 minutes, followed by the Ames Brothers singing for 15 minutes. That's all they showed.
