Yeah I remember that now too, thanks for the reminder. Those were awesome and it's usually done by the girls, funny how that had evolved. :) Somehow I think kids these days have lost the sense of joy that can come from the simpler things. But you can't blame them when there are so many forms of electronics and entertainment fighting for their attention. Lyn: rubber bands to make skipping rope!

Woohoo! Irene: wow you have my respect. 20c a day would be tough. Speaking of simple pleasures, we also folded little paper "racers" and we'd flick them on a table, around a course made up of pencils and rulers and such. Now if we can find the joy derived from such innocent and simple pursuits, then we'd all be happy. :) girlstar7: hey you know, we may be 10 years apart but I share a lot of things with you on your list, especially the TV and the music. Ace of Base, Real McCoy (one hit wonder!), BH 90210 and Melrose Place! Yay! Guilty pleasures. Su: oh the assemblies and the public spankings! Woohoo!
