Ever since Rich typed the post about his hazy memory about his childhood, I've been trying to conjure up a few distant memories myself. Unfortunately, I, like Rich, have few solid memories of any time from my childhood.
I do remember, however, have a few memories of what the rest of you were like...
Deb: Brown Maverick w/ 8track player, Snoopy doll, leather hippy vest and moccasins
Jim: Curly hair, roller skates, made me hold a bucket while he shot a bow and arrow at it, ran like the wind, rocking chair
Dave: Fingers twisting hair, crushing my potato chips before I ate them, waking up just to get ready to take a nap, making weird guttural noises. Deep water drowning tactics.
Rich: Hid M&M's in the air-conditioning vent above his bed, had a wheel-O, Fuji bike, trumpet, had a maze thing with the steel ball bearings.
Jean: Made sure I never had 2 bowls of cereal, Roger-Baby, liked a guy named Ken, Kirsten Nix, Rick Springfield
Me: Took a lot of undeserved abuse from siblings, wondered where Rich was to share in abuse delivered from older siblings, was the voice of reason, never got to ride snowmobiles due to older siblings abuse of the machines, never knew the meaning of "sour-grapes".
Jodi: Insides were "shrinking" (whatever that meant) and had to have an operation, played with Sonya, nicknamed Toad, Projectile vomiting, looked bewildered a lot.
There you have it...I'm sure this is fairly accurate. Please let me know if you disagree.

I only looked bewildered because you all confused me, I thought you were all weird and just plain didn't get it, I mean come on how hard is it? That is what I was thinking, I sometimes still do, so the next time you see me and I have that look you will know what I am thinking. Please don't feel bad I give that look to a lot of people.
My Maverick was green but then you never could tell the difference. Not much has changed...I still have several pairs of Mocs...Mom wouldn't let me wear them in Jeanies wedding! I'm still stuck in the 70's. I love hippy stuff with fringes and beads!
You're all wierd.
I love being called weird :)
Ron, I am impressed that you took note of my drowning tactics. I still fiddle with my hair, nap (a lot), and on occasion do make certain noises. As for abusing you...consider it character building events!
