Or mix you up with concrete and sink you so you can become a coral reef.
Me, I'm gonna be a diamond (or a few diamonds - one for the husband and one for each kid).
There is something good ahead, GC. You just have to look at it the right way.
For 2long and anyone else:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow my fear to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn my inner eye to see its path. And where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
I've been known to say the Litany Against Fear at times.

Gray, that was amazing. Poetry on an order I rarely read here. And Kimmy, the Litany Against Fear is wonderful.

You're a cutie 2long.
Here was my fortune (in my cookie from lunch):
"A new voyage will fill your life with untold memories."
WELL DUH! Livin' it right now!

You REMEMBER the 70s?!?!?
Lesse...70s:
Riding down the hill on my new Spyder bike at breakneck speed.
Playing ghost in the graveyard after dark.
Mosquito bites.
Swimming every day during the summer.
White fuzzy cold stuff falling from the sky in the winter.
Mork from Ork suspenders.
Blue Snoopy lunch box.
Parents yelling to shut the lights off or they were telling President Carter.
Guys held hostage in Iran every night on the news.
A Barbie that was a model. You turned the camera lens, and she'd pose.
Stretch Armstrong
Mousetrap
Operation
Kick a$$ hot wheel sets
Lemonade stand on the Apple
Commodore computers
Edith Ann, "and that's the truth....phphphhhpppttt!"

Kimmy: I remember the late 50's early 60's like that. Only we didn't "do" hotwheels. It was Matchbox, Dinky, and Corgi And my Tonkas were tough enough 2 ride on! (and based on '58 Ford pickups if I remember correctly). These things are important! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> -ol' 2long

My cousin and I have tonkas and tinkertoys that we passed to our kids.
I still love a good Tonka truck. Leo (my youngest) gets one almost every Christmas....from the big chunky ones for little guys, to the really tough Hummer Police vehicle.

And Erector sets. OMI! I almost forgot my erector set. It came in a plastic box that looked like a toolbox. It was da bomb!

Kimmy, that's gotta be the first time in at least 20 years the words "Stretch Armstrong" crossed my mind.
I remember funny music, like "Blue Bayou" and "The Gambler".

What about Darth Vadar shaped cases to keep your "action figures" in?
Or funny music like "The Streak", or radio programs like "Hiney Wine?"

I remember a show that was on PBS very early Sunday mornings. It was a semi-educational show, but really it was just a bunch of stoner surfers who lived in a shack on the beach clowning for 30 minutes. It was on at like 6 A.M.

My favorite was a 5-minute serial on the Mickey Mouse Show called "Journey 2 the Beginning of Time", where some kids in a boat go down a river back in2 time.
And I'll always remember Bob Denver as Maynard, not Gilligan.

What about the Bugaboos on Banana Splits. Or Danger Island...Electra Woman and Dyna Girl?

I was also scared of Witchiepoo on H. R. Pufnstuf. Those Krofft guys could push my buttons. I saw one of those dudes' house in some magazine, maybe Architecture Digest, one time. Super cool house. Kimmy would love it. GC

There was an episode of The Outer Limits (the original, not the color stuff) where the villain not only had a weapon that would kill someone, it would "uncreate" them. Not only would you be dead, you'd have never existed in the first place...
I loved the show, but some episodes had me sleeping with the lights on for a 2ple nights afterward...
