| 3123 | Article | DirtyD79 | I too had to learn cursive back in third grade. Ironically I was much better at writing in cursive than I was at printing. I'm not trying to brag. Believe me, my printing was atrocious as a kid and it's only slightly better all these years later. Nowadays the only time I really need to write in cursive is if I'm signing some forms or something. Honestly I'd be surprised if any elementary schools still teach it these days. | Nov 18, 2015 |  | |
| 3124 | Article | DirtyD79 | This one Burger King I used to work at back in 2003 still has the Burger King Kids Club stuff up over in their Play Land or whatever you want to call it. Personally I miss the old McDonald's playland. When I was a kid this one we used to always go to had those booths that looked like a train. It was even more cool because the restaurant was across the street from some train tracks so you could watch trains go by while you ate. They also had those Fry Kid bouncy things, the slide with that pirate dude on top, and that Officer Big Mac climbing thing. The mouth formed bars like a little jail cell and you could jump out of this one gap. I remember as a kid thinking it was like a zillion miles high and then being surprised how small it was when I was a teenager. I also remember people used to write graffiti inside there. The typical stuff like "For a good time call blah blah blah." or anarchy symbols. I gotta agree McDonald's and most fast food places these days just look lame. Boring box shaped buildings with decor straight out of a hospital waiting room. Just no imagination. | What I Miss From Childhood | Nov 18, 2015 | |
| 3125 | Article | DirtyD79 | I broke my collarbone too when I was about 6. Me and some kid were wrestling in the playground and I hit it on a tree stump. I had to wear this one brace that looked like a really thick padded pair of suspenders and I hated it. That probably explains why I've always hated wearing suspenders. To me the worst part of having a broken collarbone was trying to get up whenever I was laying down or leaning back in a chair. Also me and the other kid couldn't lie about how it happened because our moms saw the whole thing. | The Secret to How I Broke My Collarbone | Nov 18, 2015 | |
| 3126 | Article | DirtyD79 | I had quite a few trips to the principal's office as a kid too. Mostly it was for fighting but sometimes also for when teachers got tired of my class clown routine. I also heard stories about kids getting spanked but never knew anyone it happened to nor did I ever see the paddle or whatever they'd use anytime I was in the office. | The Principal's Office | Nov 18, 2015 | |
| 3148 | Article | DirtyD79 | I remember my parents having one of those gumball machines when I was a kid. In fact the one they got looks like the one in the first picture. Surprisingly though you did have to put coins in that one for it to dispense candy but it didn't matter what size they were. Usually they'd fill it with peanut M | 3 Essential 80s Home Decor Items | Dec 04, 2015 | |
| 3173 | Article | DirtyD79 | This article is great. I got those poppers for years on 4th of July as a kid and for some reason never thought to do that. | Expl-ho-ho-ho-sion | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 3289 | Article | DirtyD79 | Me and my bro had bunkbeds too. Our mom got them because they reminded her of the Berenstein Bears or something like that. We also had a folding ladder which we just about never used. One of the things I'd do with the bunk bed is pretend I'm working on a car that's up on the lift at a shop. I probably drove my parents nuts by tapping on it with a little wooden hammer. When me and my bro outgrew them we ended up giving them to a couple of our younger cousins. | Bunk Beds | Jan 22, 2016 | |
| 3368 | Article | DirtyD79 | Great article. As a kid I always loved exploring in the woods. Even now one of my favorite things to do is go for long walks in the woods with my girlfriend. I just find it peaceful and relaxing. | My Favorite Summer | Feb 17, 2016 | |
| 3530 | Article | DirtyD79 | I've always liked rainy days. I remember this one house where we lived anytime there was a decent storm the power would go out which kind of sucked but storms have always fascinated me. While reading this article I mentally pictured Here Comes The Rain by The Cult playing. | Remembering Rainy Days | Apr 30, 2016 | |
| 3531 | Article | DirtyD79 | I remember the McDonald's Super hero Burger. When Batman Forver first came out the burger came with like a glass featuring Batman etched on it. I had that glass although unfortunately I think it got lost or broke when we were moving. Still though I thought it was just so neat getting a burger with three patties on a hoagie bun. Also even though I've always lived in Western Pennsylvania, for some odd reason I could swear I had Superman peanut butter as a kid. | Foods Long Gone: The Sequel | Apr 30, 2016 | |
