Vixmom, your DH is amazing! I would have just walked in the women's bathroom and requested I go to the front of the line. Fortunately I didn't have that problem. I was about to say more on the subject of being pregnant but thought the guys on this site would appreciate my silence.

In other words, you will now be giving a pregnant pause. We don't allow groaning here at haineshisway.com.

I'm back, picked up a package, ate some Popeye's Fried Chicken and am feeling ship-shape and also shape-ship.

Ozderek - I LOVE Peppermint Aero Bars. First got hooked on them during a visit to Canada as a youth. Here in Tacomat there's an international foods store that sells all manner of candies from overseas, and I always pick up a Peppermind Aero bar there when I go.

When I was a kid I used to spread butter on white bread, sprinkle it wth sugar, roll it up, and call it a homemade twinkie. We weren't allowed to have the real ones in the house.
Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I must put in a word for
York Peppermint Patties
Sour Cream and Onion Pringles
Pizzalicious Pringles
Cheetos (can't buy 'em, I'll eat them too much)
Nutty Bars (same as Cheetos)
Oatmeal Creme Pies
Fruit-O's...a hard-to-find type of gummy fruit snack...anyone know what I'm talking about?

I used to like Twinkes, but I swear the taste has changed since I was a kid. Long ago they came out with a version that added a bit of fruit jam in with the creme filling, and I remember really liking them.

Round One of testing is done. I was tested for 19 different allergens, plus was given a "test positive".

My only reaction was to the "test positive."

Not to worry...I get to go back Thursday p.m. for more skin pricks in my upper arm.

Sigh.

They did the allergy tests on me a couple months ago 36 different allergens and I only test positive to the "test positive" Good luck

My favorite snack food is Ruffles potato chips and cottage cheese. I think that started when my grandmother didn't have any dip and told me cottage cheese and dip are the same thing.....i was very young.....I've loved ever since.

I only test positive to the "test positive"

What does that mean?

I tested positive to multiple things, mainly grass, dust and dust mites. Try getting away from those.

vixmom I think one of the most touching things in the Kritzer books is the loss of freedom and innocence and sense of adventure children had back then. It seems children a locked so much inside and are forced to grow up so fast. In our fear of molesters, we stick our kids inside in front of televisions and game boys and computers that also steal their innocence and sense of play and imagination..and interaction with others. Or we micro-manage their activities with dance classes, art classes, structured play time, soccer, this sport, that activity...to where they never get any down time to just explore the world and their interests on their own...to be taken where their inclinations lead them...

In the summer we would always be out playing in the neighbourhood,walking to the drugstore, swinging on vines in the woods,or playing wiffle ball or badminton in someone's backyard. Or playing our records or going to the movies. I think one of the sounds I miss most his mothers shouting from back doors for kids to come home for supper or because it's getting dark.

.

I agree wholeheartedly, When I think back to my childhood I had those neighborhood ramblings that bk caaptures so well...unfortunately the Vixter's memories will be of a much more structured childhood.

We did refrain, however , from buying her video games, gameboys etc . Her toys consist of a wide range of playmobil, legos, and drawing supplies and as a result she has a wonderful imagination, something sadly lacking in most her schoolmates.

One of the joys of writing the Kritzer books, especially the first one, was recapturing what was unique and wonderful about growing up back then. I've had youngsters read the book and tell me, "I want your childhood."

Jane · « **Reply #197 on:** January 31, 2005, 02:54:09 PM »

For some reason I can’t fathom I have been craving Tim’s potato chips. I have already eaten tons of chocolate and Zoo Animal Crackers today. After George’s post I think it is a good I forgot to buy more chow mein noodles yesterday.

I am being good now and eating a banana.

I really want Mint Hum Bugs now-thanks CP for mentioning that store in England.

I have the very same memories, DRPogue. My brother Tom and the Hawkins boys, John and Tom, spent our summer nights playing hide and seek all over the neighborhood, hidng in neighbors' shrubbery, scaling backyard fences, and racing bikes until 8:30 or 9 when my Mother would yell for us to get home. Also, the sound of summer insects: crickets, junebugs, the bats sweeping around the streelamps where the moths were fluttering. Times have changed.

DR SWW - I wondered when the world was going to finally recognize the boon to mankind that is bubblewrap!

As others have written - when I was a kid in the 1950's-60's we played outside all the time. We rarely spent time indoors in the summertime. We went to our friend's houses. And although for a great deal of that time I lived in "the country" and was not within walking distance of town, we still wandered freely around the area....on foot and on bicycle.

Now at about 5 p.m. in the summertime, when I head out to rehearsal, the streets are empty. All the house are shut up and air conditioned. No front doors open, no people on the porches, no parents hollering for their kids. It's like the Twilight Zone almost!
