What do you miss?

duanehofner · 10-13-2007, 07:05 AM

I ran into a sweetheart from my home town here and she got me to thinking of some old fond memories from my youth back home. Thanks to C for this thread.

In thinking back to my old neighaborhood I remember playing a couple of games in the streets of Brooklyn that I have not seen played here in Tulsa in the 30 years since I moved here.
The first: Stickball, 3 guys per team, played sewer to sewer (home plate and second) and chalk in 1st & third.
The second: Slapball - played w/4 or 5 using a Pensey Pinkey and all 4 corners of an intersection as bases.

God, we'd play out there for hours, fight, cuss, what a pissa.

Do you have anything in your new town missing from your old home town?
Thanks again for bringing back these memories Miss C.

When I was younger...we played in the alley. Back then the alleys were made of rocks and we would take moms brooms and make dirt roads, homes and parking lot and play outside for hours. The brooms would be destroyed but the fun was always there.
It's a nice memory!

Thanks Duane for reminding me

Stick ball! Now you've brought back some great memories for me as well, Duane! We played all the time! And then when it got dark, we'd play manhunt. I remember being outside all day long as a kid. Fun times!

As a kid in Brooklyn, we used to play "Kissing Monster" -- really!! My friend had a younger brother - I think we were about 11 years old - maybe 10 - and her brother was about 9 or 10... he would run around after the girls and try to kiss us and we ran around the whole park -- laughing all the while. We would play in the 'Big Park' on the swings, monkey bars - I used to hang by by knees and ankles. On the swings - the old style with metal seats - we would stand on the seats and go as high as we could - trying to be parallel with the bar on top.

We lived in an apt building across from the park - and I used to call up to my mother (on the 6th floor!!) and she would pop her head out of the window and I would ask for money for the ice cream truck. She threw it down in a paper bag.

We also used to roller skate in that big park - the skates attached to your shoes - they were metal too.

Wow - what a great thread... when I think of some good stories about Brooklyn - I am going to have to post more..

Thanks duane...this was awesome!!

duanehofner · 10-13-2007, 07:37 AM

"Kissing Monster" I'll bet they all tried to catch you dear girl. I know I would have.

One of the places that we lived growing up had a vacant field across the street and a stream that ran through it... my sister and I would play over there for hours in the water wading, skipping stones, picking wild flowers, digging up wild onions & hiding under the bridge when our mother was calling us in for the evening... times like that are what I miss with my sister, when we were still close...

Today you get be closer to someone else..And be squeezed..

Annie · 10-13-2007, 09:48 AM

I remember chasing my older sister around with snakes, (if they don't bite the boys, they won't bite me... she didn't get that concept) I remember finding an old can of house paint and then using it to paint her new bike a nice shade of green, I remember kissing my first love behind the garage, playing in the rafters and smoking cigarettes, I remember when my best friend forever moved to Ohio.... I still miss and love her. I also remember seeing Black Sabbath.... on one of the few occasions they actually showed up.....

My_Secrets_Kept · 10-13-2007, 09:54 AM

Annie that reminds me of when I used to catch lizzards, pry their mouths open and clip them onto my earlobes and chase my sister around lol....

Duane thanks for starting this thread, good memories are surronding me this morning!

Another story is when we used to go up to the schoolyard as teenagers - I always used to go into the liquor store to buy boonsfarm and southern comfort... because I looked the oldes and they never asked for ID.

We would drink and drink until at least one of us got sick.... it does sound pretty sick now - telling that story, but at the time, it was a blast!! We used to look forward to the weekends so we could go up to that schoolyard and drink...

It's a wonder that now I really don't drink too much - unless socially - and I am as boring as I am... maybe because getting sick when you are young teaches you to forget about that when you are older...

Sneaky · 10-13-2007, 11:56 PM

This is a little gross, but until my younger brother grew bigger and stronger than me I loved to torture him. He was so grossed out by everything and anytime I got a reaction from him it just made me worse.

I loved to pin him down and let the spit drool down slowly in a big spitty string until in almost touched his face and then suck it back in. He went nuts. LOL.

He also couldn't stand to hear anyone eating breakfast cereal. So I would slurp and eat as loudly as possible getting milk all over my face and drink my milk as obnoxious as possible, and he would put the cereal box right in front of his face so he didn't have to see me. But he could still hear me and it drove him crazy.

Someone really needed to tall me that boys usually outgrow girls, because when that happend I did get payback. LOL.

OMG Boonesfarm... ugh... I remember drinking that nasty stuff as a teen.... until I was introduced to rum.... yum..... never went back...

We used to have parties at other peoples houses.. playing kissing games and such... the funny thing is I never got to do any of the kissing... sigh..

We had this field across the street from my house.. there was a huge tree and a small wooded area with a stream... we use to go hang out there when we could..

and another thing... Roller Skating at the Skatin' Place.. my friends always dragged me along, and I was always the one sitting on the side during couples skate... man I hated roller skating.... lol...

That was so cool. Tell me about manhunt sometime Miss Paris, don't recall that one.

OICurready4me · 10-14-2007, 04:59 AM

doing my paper route on my bicycle and taking every penny I made from the route and riding to the little convenience store down the street and buying packets of baseball cards with the money, with that piece of bubble gum in it that looked and tasted like cardboard. After that, I would put the duplicate cards on my bicycle spokes with clothes pins so I could hear that "thwack, thwack, thwack" as I rode around.

yaser · 10-14-2007, 05:03 AM

Walking 10 miles away to another village to buy a chewing gum and some candies with my brother.Never forget.

yaser · 10-14-2007, 05:06 AM

Catch and kiss games with the girls.The girls did not run to be caught by the ones who they but fly from the ones they are not interested in.
