5259ArticleVaporman87We always returned to school the third or final week of August. I know this because the County Fair was the “last hurrah” of Summer for us (and was held the second week of August) and we would see kids from school there knowing that we’d be seeing them again in just a week or two. Sep 01, 2020View
5699ArticleJust_Esh_68'What a great entry! It was as if you were writing about my very own childhood. I think my favorite part was how you captured the innocence of the 80's; even though so many would make the claim that the decade was anything but! This was truly a favorite of mine!

5455ArticleBenjanimeit must have been a thrill going to whatever card tournaments you could, since i wasn't into the card game for very long i never thought about going to them. though since living in virginia and knowing about a certain fellow named chris chan and hearing about his incidents in one of the areas that held their own card game tournaments, maybe it's for the best that i didn't have it on my mind lol.Pokemania: Pokemon Trading Card GameJul 06, 2021View
5456Articleechidna64My friends group were predominantly collectors (I think we didn't fully understand the rules of the game). The Toys R Us held Pokemon TCG tournaments weekly. My goal was just to try to catch-em all. Later on I became a big fan of the Pokemon TCG on the Gameboy Color. That's where I truly learned the mechanics of the game.

5260ArticleVaporman87I rarely got in trouble. But I did get hurt doing stupid stuff. Like going down into the woods and swinging from vines, only to lose my grip and land on my back -- knocking the wind out of me real good. My step-brother at that time had an accident on that same vine. On the back-swing, he smashed into another tree, right in the groin. Ouch. He had to have stitches even. Couldn't wear underwear for a week or two. Then there were our numerous crashes riding a wagon down the hill leading to our houses. Risky business: Summer activitiesSep 04, 2020View

5266ArticleoniparHa, this is great! Man, I did so many risky things as a kid. It was rare we got caught or hurt, but it did happen. I would have killed to have train tracks near me as a kid. I just had the subway :-p Risky business: Summer activitiesSep 04, 2020View
5268ArticleBenjanime@vaporman i would have enjoyed the heck out of attempting to swing from vines like tarzan, lol. but i got myself hurt a few times as well, skinning my knees on the ground was common. @onipar i would have mentioned it in my article, but i actually revisited the train track path years later when i was in high school and was able to go much farther down than i did all those years ago, even going past downtown, i was gone for about five or so hours.Risky business: Summer activitiesSep 05, 2020View
5269ArticleJulieAs we talked about before, I am and will always be against punishment. Punishment, beating, none of this educates!! On the contrary, it teaches that parents do not love their children!! There are many humanized ways to educate a child, with love as the first and fundamental rule. This is so obvious. I'm not surprised to see children becoming adults and abandoning their parents; this is justified, and it's very sad to see this vicious loop in societies around the world. Too much lack of love results in too much wrong things and it becomes a vicious loop. Children need love from their parents, and this also implies the physical presence of that love from parents to children. Risky business: Summer activitiesSep 05, 2020View
