I remember back in 36 we got a piece of 2x4 cut into a truck,. that was a Merry Xmas, .remember that like it was yesterday, some times I forget today,.

Ah the good ol' days when ANY present was appreciated!! The (my!) kids today are not happy unless you've (I've) spent your last cent (penny) or is that just mine!! Haha
Back in '36 my dad was 3!! I wasn't even a twinkle in his eye!! ;D ;D ;D . De dee, you must be a couple of years older than me then!! Haha.
Thanks zombie, I'm now searching youtube for musical memories!!
Cheers,
Don.

I'm 56, and I used to make those 2x4 toys myself.
I specialized in rubber band guns that launched 1x1 cardboard squares, and 2x4x14" battle ships. We used to float them down the Bronx River, and shoot them w/ the cardboard squares.
That's when life was good.

yeah, life was good back then, the innocence of youth, no worries, no kids etc!! now that I'm (supposedly) grown up I still revert back now and again, just to keep my hand in you understand, much to the dismay of my dearly beloved who's favourite words are....................when are you going to GROW UP ;D ;D ;D

I have to laugh. People were just so f'n gay back then.
When I look back to the 70's, and 80's, I'm embarrassed to admit who I was...
-
;D ;D ;D
Go on then, which one in the pic are you??? ;D ;D ;D
The 80's were my era, I left school in 80, when i was 16, from then on it was one big learning curve, and did I learn a lot!! ;D ;D ;D . No regrets tho'!!

LOL. It's just a random pict off the web but I could have been any of the three.
I shopped mostly at the army/navy surplus, and wore my leather every day for about 10 years.
You know how to keep a 12" Mohawk straight... Elmer's glue, and food color.
I'm still surprised I lived thru all the stuff I did. Actually I believe it all preserved me in some random twist of chemical engineering. I wore a Tshirt that said "Say no to Nancy"
-
ah, the late 70's (76-79) was my 'punk' era, sex pistols, the damned etc, I wasn't allowed a Mohawk or colour, (so much for anarchy in the uk!!) so I just spiked my hair with egg white and a blow drier for the weekend! then it was onto the 80's and the 'new romantics', there was some decent music but I just could not afford the make up ;D ;D ;D
I too have been preserved, possibly due to the chemicals that passed through my body!! some great times!!
would that possibly have been 'mrs regan and her stance against anyone enjoying themselves ;D ;D ;D
life goes on!!
80's related video alert!!

You two sound exactly like all the guys i knew back then ;) . Spent more time with the 'guys' than with the 'gals' . Mostly due to the fact that most of them were shallow Farrah wannabe's . Learned a lot about musclecars , too ! ;D
-
I grew out of it. Now I have my dogs. (and Twinkles)
How do you know when spring has finally arrived in the city... YO! Gina! Get in the f'n car... (don't forget to tip your waitress)
-
I think your right bluesin, that was the way it was back then ;D ;D ;D
I also "knew" a couple of farrah wannabes' and very nice they were too hahaha.
It's nice to reminisce...............
We never had muscle cars as such here but we used to borrow (ahem) quite a lot of fords!!
As you can probably tell I had a couple of years "off the rails" but, as I said earlier, it was all a big learning curve and I am still here to tell the tale haha 😆. thankfully in 83 I met my future wife and in 85 we married!! Bloody hell, almost 32 years ago!! Where have all the years gone??
I think I'm in shock.........I'll have to go and have a lie down!!! ;D ;D ;D
All the best for the new year!!
Cheers,
Don.

All too familiar. ExceptI waited until 1996 to get married.Engaged at 17 and dropped that bomb . Turned down a few others...not real big on a piece of paper , then ,my cat chose my husband. Mid-30s by then .
Had friends with many muscle cars...lost 6 in a 1970 Chevelee SS in an accident in 1978 . Big wake-up at age 20 .
Survived many adventures from there (never thought I'd make it to 20 ,even ) and still kickin' now.
One dog, two cats, several fox ( I keep them down by the stream in back ) ,several Deer,weasels, etc.
I di miss seeing Twinkles pass by , though . Heard someone had turned him into a Paraplegic :'( ...but- that he has a good home, now .
Spring is official when you hear " here, boy, fetch me that apple" . Nudge,Nudge,Wink,Wink ;) ;)
-
Twinkles runs the still. (paraplegic/still).
He seems quite happy. (thank goodness for Valium)
20 was a milestone. I remember saying I would never make it to 18. We were drinking Kamikazes, and eating ludes at 10:30 am in Ed's Bay Pub.
From there we went out in the boat to dive for lobsters in the Shinnecock inlet.
I also lost a bunch of friends back then. 3 in a car wreck, 2 to the water, 2-3 more to drugs, and 1-2 to just plain done.
I was either luckier/tougher/smarter or faster than whatever was chasing us... Maybe living is the real price to be paid, and surviving is just the pre-amble.
Who knows!
