Useless facts/Chit Chat Thread

I learned with training wheels, my dad kept lifting them a little bit at a time and before you know it I was riding with them up in the air.

What's funny was we lived at the top of a hill, so I had no where to go but down and down fast. I don't know if they had them but this was without a helmet. I was wearing shorts and a tank top. I guess I was lucky not even a scratch. Only time I got hurt was when my bell bottoms got caught in the chain, ouch, I loved them purple pants.

I remember droves of kids rolling up one pant leg in the seventies when riding their banana seat with a sissy bar bikes!!! No helmets back then...we took our scabs like real sissies!!

My tween asked me to try to be like TCD and sneak them into a disney location to meet the JOBROS....I looked at her like she was crazy...then punched her in the forehead!! She got to see stars right then without having to wait for traveling...and it didnt cost me a dime!!

ok- this was really scary when it happened- but the outcome was funny...

when we first moved to this house- my 7yo missed his bus stop on his 2nd day at the new school- but instead of telling the bus drive- he just got off at the next stop (which is almost 2 miles from here) and walked home- on a very major 4 lane road (CR210 for those of you familiar with the Jax/St Aug area). Long story short- he was missing for 2 1/2 hours, we had the sherrif's office out with K9 looking for him and he just comes strolling down hte street like he doesnt have a care in hte world-

After we figured out what had happened and everything calmed down a little-he turns to me and says- "Well- if you had gotten me a cell phone for my birthday like I asked- I could have called you to come and pick me up instead of having to walk the entire way home"

Let me tell you- we seriously considered it for a little bit after going through that- just to have a GPS locator on him!!!!
