I had a thought that maybe it would be fun to have a "do you remember" thread...you know toys, games, songs, household goings on from when we were kids.....
I'll start.... and I AM sating myself...
I remember when Pogo sticks were the "new" thing......

I remember pick up sticks was the game to play when I was a child, you can still buy them but I have never seen a modern day child play them. Compassion is action, it interrupts your life, it cost you in time and money, but it changes lives

Oh yeah, and letting your friend share the seat with one person steering and one pedaling!You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
