Doorleven

Well this one is easy. 1972, my first year. Was that Lima or Sydney? I forget which one came first. I was 10 years old so geography didn’t matter. My parents couldn’t get off work, so they sent me with my two older sisters, 23 and 15 years old.

I kid you not, we stopped inside the gate and my oldest sister says, “I’m setting the tent up over there. See ya in 4 days.” Then she walked off. She called over her shoulder, “And don’t drink all the milk in one day.”

Here I was a shy little 10 year old from a very sheltered life let loose on my own for 4 whole days!

I never ate so good, (must have been my angelical looks) slept so little, or had so much fun in my young life! I met kids from all over and just played the whole time. That is when I wasn’t following Dan M. around with ‘love struck’ eyes….lol.

I’ll never forget the rain when someone pulled a big sheet of plastic over me. Or the last night when everyone stood up holding hands and was singing “Family” all I could see was the back of the guy in front of me. Then the guy behind me picked me up and put me on his shoulders. It was so cool!

Went to many ROA’s over next 20 years, but nothing like the first one.

Andreatheflorist,

I think I know you. Were you in Lansing,Mi? Have you ever heard of Charlotte,Mi? I remember a perky little gal named Andrea. But then again we were all annoying little twits bouncing around back then...LOL.

I just used a REALLY dumb babysitter. Me and my husband went out for the evening with instructions for her to take our 3 yr.old into the potty every half hour or so. We walk in the door at the end of the night to see her holding our ONE year old on the toilet! We explained that she had the wrong kid and she just giggled and said,"Oh well the little ones been going pee on it all evening." So it was that our kid that could barley walk was toddling into the bathroom and pounding on the toilet lid when she had to go. Well the older one wasn't about to be outdone by a bratty little sister, so she had to get her act together too.

Hi y'all,

Born and raised in Mi. in twi for 20 years there. Moved to Tx. 3 years ago. Any one ever heard of San Angelo?????

I can't believe I'm replying to this tread of all things...LOL.

I was wondering if any of you guys...or gals... have tried those new boxers. (i think there new) They're cotton, like briefs, but shaped like tight boxers. They're good and snug. (may cure that support problem guys!)

My 'guy' wears them once in awhile and I find them incredably sexy, especially in grey!!! ;)-->

Drinks on the house??? Just a minute let me

get my big ladder out of the garage. I'll be

right up! :D-->

Thank you dmiller. Good to be back after so many years. Nice to see old friends and meet new. :)-->

I have to tell you though, every time I see your name I have to do a double take. That's my Dad's name and we're from Mi!

LOL, just one of those silly little things that catch your attention.

Opps, forgot to answer Steve....

I know I was actually on line with him (many years ago) when he started it.

Well Raf...I'm a she. I don't drink coffe and I'm flat broke. So make it a nice glass of red wine and your buying!!!! :)-->

Funny I started reading this thread 'cause I'm from the Great (froze my a** off most the time) Lakes State. Was looking to see if I knew any of you northeners. Came to Texas to get warm, now I'm seeing there's a bunch of us Texans in here.

I felt it only fitting that my first post on this site be under this thread, since my last post to you guys was on this thread and that was YEARS AGO!!!!!

...And this is "THE" thread that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Somebody started writing it, and they'll continue writing it forever just because this is the thread that never ends, it goes on and on my friends.....
