I can't count that high. But after a while the putty took on the color of the newsprint and wasn't as much fun.

In our house you never told Mom you were bored. We found stuff to do.

I always got nostalgic when I watched two things in particular. One, bear with me on this, was the first half of the original ‘IT’ movie and the other was the Twilight Zone episode ‘Kick the Can’. Maybe also a bit sad for lost childhood.

Anyone ever have a wood burning set?

 

[Rick589]

How about a carbide cannon?

And….sometimes the stuff you found to do probably wasn’t the best stuff to do.

Anyone ever risk injury playing with clacker balls?

 

[LaurenRitz]

Hehehe. I was really bad about getting caught.

 

[Rick589]

How about Lincoln Logs? The real wood ones.

Is it possible to injure yourself with those? Paddleballs I could almost see it.
