We both placed one "between the cheek and gums" and started on the 5-6 block walk to soccer practice at a local elementary school, spitting every other step whether we needed to or not. About halfway there I began to feel dizzy and discarded my "dip". My friend was able to hold his for maybe a few more strides, but then he was done too. First on the agenda at soccer practice-LAPS! We both completed two laps and came back to take a knee. By now the field was spinning. I don't remember feeling sick, but soon enough my friend and I were on our hands and knees with a good square yard of orange foam between us! |

Perhaps if we could persuade Joe to eat a saltillo platter, it might change his perspective.

Reckon the Saltillo Platter would do him some good! Joe's probably alot of laughs after he has a few beers under his belt to loosen him up. Oh, and the El Charrito Queso Dinner is also pretty tasty!

It seems I also had the same first experience with SKOAL! I remember getting dizzy and puking I started chewing Levi Garrett, and eventually moved on to Marlboro-

When I was little, we used to camp out alot- by the time I was 10 or 11 we decided we would build our own cabin. So, with hatchet, axe, and saw, we started taking down small trees. We built a frame and then nailed the saplings as close together as we could. We then filled the cracks with mud, and gathered some old rusty barn tin for the roof. I remember my friend Joe was very particular about picking the right site for "the cabin", so we built it right next to a creek about 50 feet from flat river. we added a rope swing and some homemade benches around the fire area. My fondest childhood memories were made right there with good friends- two of wich died in high school. Here is a picture of "the cabin". circa '82-'83
I should have re-scanned that photo- |

some good stories folks.
My 'childhood' memories all occurred while I lived in N.J. In an absolutely freakin' incredible neighborhood. Lived at the top of this hill in a cul-de-sac.. house backed up to some federal forest land. deep into the forest was a lake. My parents knew absolutely everybody on the block, and they all had kids as well.. and I knew them all. summers were spent playing stick-ball in the cul-de-sac, a few home runs went through MY living room window. Winters filled with playing football in some DEEP snow. And ice-skating on area lakes and swamps. we all rode skateboards down the hills, (during the FIRST wave of skateboarding LOL) Games of hide-and-seek stretched the whole block. nights chasing and collecting fire-flys. Block parties with all the neighbors. I remember my parents would have like these "gin" parties, playin' cards with the neighbors.. when this would happen, it was "fend" for your self for me and my older brothers.. all stuck "upstairs" LOL Got my first dog when I was in the first grade, a Norwegian Elkhound mix. I remember when he was a few years old, he took to escaping from the back yard, he would make the trip up to my school, there waiting on me to exit school for the day, we would make the walk home together. Played on many a baseball team as a kid.. rode our bicycles all over freakin' town. As an 8 year old, we had all the freedom in the world.. playin' in the woods, building tree forts. In the winter time.. it was turned into a WINTER WONDERLAND.. all sorts of hills for sleigh rides, and tobaggon rides.. Free to go where we wanted, do want we wanted.. come dinner time.. just had to be sure to be within distance of my old man's Whistle call.. which ranged a good block.. just had to make sure come dinner and he called, we better show up home soon And then the summer of '76.. met Mary.. ahhh.. Mary.. that's another story. LOL Happy Turkey day everybody. |

I too lived here as a child. My hang out was Meyers Lake and Dixie Garden area. I caught my first Bass on that old lake you will know it as Champion and Hamel's lake. Had a pellet gun and a banana bike to ride. Parent just like you folks that did not have to worry about a pedophile or the likes of. I did ride horses and had a small john boat. Simple time it was and now the boy has grown to be a business man and sign the bottom line. I have three girls that are girly girls and getting dirty is not there style. They are almost all grown and I am very happy with what I see. This is a major thing to be thankful for everyday of the year. We did dig dirt tunnels at the dead end of Southfield and very lucky they did not cave in on us. Those were the days my friends we thought they would never end
