Kickball
Another kickball type of game where the kicker calls out so many points and if it was caught without a bounce you got fullpoints. one bounce equal half points, 2 bounce equaled quarter points and then zero.....

Anybody old enough to remember using the F keys on the keyboard - on a REGULAR basis?

Or how about manual typewriters? And those round erasers with the brushes attached?

You never see families going out into the woods and actually camping in tents and roughing it anymore. Now everyone takes an rv, hooks up to a concrete slab with water and electric available and amillion moer slabs around you. A convenience store right on site for you to get what yuo need or want, with an arcade room. The most rustic they get is a communal toilet and shower.

Now me, I would rather go into the woods, pitch a tent (this means set a tent up in the proper position lol, not throw it away). Find a creek or river bed to catch fish for dinner, and bathe in. Go hiking and watch the stars come out at night. have bonfires (well protected of course, and even with this setting I agree with having a fire extinguisher available).

One campground I went to as a kid was called yogi bear national campground or soethinglike that. They had some campers but was primarily tents. They did have an arcade and general store, but they were also in the middle of the woods by a loke, and they ahd an outdoor "theatre". At least tehy tried to include nature and the great outdoors.

Better yet, go with a few friends and set up a ring of tents in the woods like I described above. You can not imagine how fun AND RELAXING it is.


while this is true....but go out to Wyoming...Grand Teton and Yellowstone have tons of campers. I love camping...in an actual tent, hiking etc etc...I'm going to make sure my children enjoy it to (lol even if they don't...I'm hoping they will)...and no I don't have children...but tis my goal


I have two, you want one?devil


well I'd say I do but I have this feeling you really love them so....LOL....and plus while I want them I must admit I'm really not set in life to have them....LOL for one I need the guy...another I'd like my finances to be just a little better....So I'll go to my parents and visit the two that I helped raise and be happy

laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh


That's the great thing about my offer!!! for taking both boys at this time, not only do you get the joy of raising two boys, but the father comes with! he does the hosuework. he does the cooking (he actually prefers to do the cooking himself). He even does diapers (althogh the two boys in question are long past that stage in life, lol).


LOL blushing huh happy um....well:wink:

I remember playing backyard football one day in the field next to our trailer. we had several girls chearleading one of which I had a severe crush on. She happened to be rooting for the other team, and when the ball was passed to me sheblew me a kiss. i ran head first into the only tree in the field!!!embarassed embarassed embarassed Gave myself a good ole concussion that day.

Another day, I went to receive the pass, and the ground was wet from dew. needless to say one foot kept going when the other stopped and I ended up doing the splits. i got carried home that day too bigsmile

kickball... that's kinda how you played 500. One person would bat a ball out, you got 100 if you caught a flyball, 75 for 1 bounce and 25 for a grounder... or something like that, and the first to get 500 got to bat.
