I remember when I could "run" the neighborhood all day, and my parents never had to worry, didn't have to call, and never came looking for me.

Hmmm.....maybe they just didn't like me!!:eek:

Now add your own thoughts to the "remember when" phrase! ;) Me too...I lived in a neighborhood of boys...so it was get tough or DIE.

And in the winter we would ski behind a jeep (owned by one of the older boys of the 'hood) when it snowed.

Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when
Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give up
Remember when

Remember when thirty something seemed old
Now lookin' back, it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are, where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

Remember when
Remember when

People didn't sue because their kid got hurt. Excellent example: When I went to Spain 2 summers ago for a mission trip, we got to spend a lot of time with the kids. They were between like 5 years to about 5th or 6th grade. Well, it was me and 2 other guys in high school and we were wrestling in the pool with like 12 of these kids. They were pretty scrappy mind you. Well, I was doing all I could to not die and grabbed one, slammed him underwater, and he came up and spit out a tooth. No blood, no tears, just handed it to the lifeguard and we kept on wrestling. Oh, had I been here my parents probably would've had to file for bankruptcy.

Do you remember the old weight loss candy called, well it was either AIDS or AYDS...can't really remember.

I bet that company went under fast back in the 80's.

I remember if you had a dollar bill you could go to the movies and pay for your ticket and have enough left over for a soda, popcorn, and a candy bar and then had some change left over to stop at a store and get another soda and candy bar.

I remember when I felt happy.

I remember when there was hope for the world.

I remember when I felt happy.

I remember when I only had to worry about my happiness. I remember when I wasn't worried about losing all that I'd worked for - I didn't have anything so there wasn't much to lose. I remember feeling unique and different than everyone else - only to find out I'm not that different from anyone else.

I remember when there was hope for the world.

Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell

I remember when Rita wanted in my pants. Oh wait sorry that was a dream i had last night.

I remember when life didnt scare the hell out of me.

ditto

I remember when I started this reply and was only gonna do one

I've said that many times when friends ask me to go out for "just one"

I remember when I first had multiple teachers in school, in 5th grade. Man, I sooooo did not like the Math teacher - all homework (LONG division and multiplication) had to be "worked out", in PEN, no erasures and no writing on the back of the page. :mad: :mad: There has got to be a "Murphy's Law" that says if the above situation arises, invariably you will screw up on the last 3 lines of the page. :doh: :rolleyes:

I remeber when almost any grown up in the school district could bust your butt and then if your parents found out about it you got it again at home. I remeber when you could trade three swings of the paddle for one D-hall.
