Just for the record (pun) I still have a dwell meter just in case.. 8) ..
A couple years ago I went to my nephews baseball game (dont know what league ???) and at the end I asked (sorry after) who won? I got a little distracted... WOW I didnt know everybody won. WHAT the hell is this really you dont want to disapoint them what happens at x-mas or thier b-day do you buy them everything they want so they are not disapointed? When I played baseball you bet your *ss it was known when we LOST, NO PIZZA after. Yes I walked to school in elementry grades it was about 3 blocks out the front door and uphill halfway then down so I did walk uphill both ways for a little anyway. Games were outside you made them up your friends were who ever was around that day (whom did there chores)lol. AHH the good ole days
wouldn't trade them in..

 

[megaladon6]

yeah, we almost never got pizza--even when we did win.
getting what we wanted for b-day or xmas? RIIIGHT!!! i still don't get that and i buy my own presents! 😀
though i got ya beat on the walking. 1mi up and downhill on what i swear was a wind tunnel. i'd freeze my *ss off in the winter!
playing football in random fields was always fun, especially getting tackled onto rocks.

I remember getting grounded, I had to stay inside (was pure torture for me, still is, lol), I could watch tv if I wanted, but only because my parents knew I didn't enjoy it :lol: .
