I never locked my house when I lived in Cameron.
My neighbors would have did a thief worse than I would have.
And I had a pet coon living in the house too.
He didn't like strangers. Or girlfriends. Hadta lock him up if'n I had female company.

And we could make a sling shot out of a stick, my mom would bring home some rubber straps from the hospital, and we would use old mardi gras beads as bullets!

We would shoot birds, catch tadpoles, play with tonka trucks in the dirt. Sweat our arse off all day and grandma would bring us some orange Tang on ice

I can't say that its exactly like the old days, but I raise my kids a whole lot like I was raised in respect to having to stay outside and butt whoopins. Its up to us as parents to keep them little behinds in line, and not to let em get too lazy. If i had a quarter for every time I heard "but little suzy down the street does or doesn't do this or that", boy I'd have a good start on that offshore boat!

" These generations have produced some of the best Risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

The past 50 years Have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all."


Cept all the dummies runnin the country.


Im an 80s kids, barely. Grew up in the city but alot of this still applied to me. Didnt have cable till I was 16 but did have nintendo snes, 64, ps1, ps2, xbox, 360. I love being outside more than anything, but sometimes it just felt better inside at lunch time in the heat of the day.

Been there, done that many a time.

I can remember skiing on the river on holidays and only seeing 2 or 3 other boats.

Born in 80, and would not have had it any other way! Grew up respecting people and others possesions as well as mine, went to school in the city, and lived in the woods and on the water every non school day! still remember what it felt like to get a good azz woopin from the ole man! Talked about it today in fact with a man my pops grew up with, we just laughed as I agreed it made me a better person as my ole mans face turned red and smirked with shame and pride all at once! thats how it was, and it should still be. We live in a diffrient time zone now, and its just not the same!

Oh and about growing up in a flatboat, you betchu I did. we used #2 pencils sharpened to a fine point from my uncles ole' timer pocket knife when a loose rivet would let go in the ole' 16/52 Monarch over powered with the 40 yammahamm! ahh the good ole days
