Growing up in the 70's was tough but it was fun and it made us STRONG!!!

Not sure if Navy or Marines uniform

It looks like a foreign government so it could be anything.

Could be but it's too blurry if you zoom in to see any insignia's on it, I just thought the saluting was funny tho

In my photo library I call that pic "Dog Salute"...LOL

Our dumb asses would shoot arrows straight up in the air....like Indian roulette...LOL

We were talking about Jarts yesterday with a younger coworker. He looked up a set, it was like a 100 bucks.

... and real animals, but never hit them. I hit the power line to my friend’s house and sent a shower of sparks. Ah youth :-)

Banning stuff blows! Can’t have any fun anymore, lol :-)

if I was in Brian's family I'd get a restraining order so he would have stay 30 miles away

just so I could maybe survive until he Blew up the ENTIRE STATE OR THE NATION!

me too :-)

Lol

Lmao

cheesecake you say !

Lol

Those were the days my friend. Those were the days.

Did you guys shoot bottle rockets and Roman candles at each other like we did too? Good times. 90% of the things I did as a kid would cause parents of today to have a heart attack! Lol. We did get into some things we probably shouldn't have but we knew there would be serious consequences if we broke the rules. I keep trying to teach these kids what's outside but they're not willing to leave the yard or hike off trail. They're not interested in bugs or finding the creepy crawlies in their world. They don't even climb trees and any tree houses are built by contractors with specs and the proper supplies. Ugh! They're not allowed to get hurt or make mistakes. Worst of all...they have no idea what their capable of. Sorry...kid person here. My heart breaks for the kids that don't get to know how amazing it is outside.

I still prefer being outside to being inside. Inside sux.

Bottle rocket / roman candle fights, so much fun & burning skin. I shot a roman candle at a friend, I missed him & got the girl behind him. Her hair flaired up (from all the hair spray lol) but it went out quickly w/ minimal burnt hair hahaahha.

Aquanet to the rescue! Haha! I was more of a "Chrissy" kind of gal back when. We were absolutely stupid with bottle rockets. We shot them under moving cars...raced the rockets. Dumbest idea ever. Those gas guzxling, oil leaking POS cars and trucks we had should have blown up or at least caught on fire. Lol. If my kids knew half the things I did...lol!

I remember a recent story where a mother got arrested for letting her kids play at the park....across the street.

We were afraid of what our parents would do if we broke the rules. Now it's illegal to spank children with anything but a hand. Don't get me wrong on that one. I hated spankings so I'm glad that's gone. Discipline and spanking are two different things.

We didn't even get the look. We had to tattle on ourselves before someone else did or it was waaay worse. If you knew you did something wrong and didn't tell and your brother told...oy! And he ALWAYS told. I remember one kid that tried it. We never saw him again! Lol.

Yup sounds exactly like my childhood!

One of the older guys that lived down the street got one of these and we would all fight to get in one of those seats on the ride home from school!

Pfft

I definitely like playing with fire...LOL

:-)

It wasn't flagged this morning when I looked at it.

imgflip.com/gif/23g863 They did it to me for real.

In the 90's, I was in my 20's living in San Diego and too busy gettin' laid to be playing video games...!!!

TMI

The 90s sucked! By 94 I was married/divorced raising one kid and working 3 Jobs... ugh
