AliceTheOwl Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re: The Last Word True. Loons are interesting. I once chased one from a paddleboat around a lake in Maine. He got back at me by making his crazy-sounding cry just as I was drifting off to sleep. Brr . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Re: The Last Word We have some VERY incriminating pictures of my son, nude, after he'd been playing with colored sidewalk chalks on the back porch. We call them the "mandrill butt" pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Re: The Last Word I think all kids go through that phase. Not the mandrill butt, but the nudism one. The trick is making sure they stay indoors during that phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Re: The Last Word Not times, place. At that time we were in a brand-new development (ours was the 5th or 6th house finished) on the edge of a college town. Just about everyone else in the neighborhood were families with kids, and more or less everyone was a first- or second-time home buyer. No trees, not much grass (I commented during the first winter in that house that (1) it was a wonderful experiment in alluvial deposits and (2) nice to have a recreation of the Hindenburg Line in a military history buff's back yard for no charge!), but a very narrow and selective slice of society. Now we live in a major city, four blocks off one of the main N-S arterial (and vice) strips, in an area where some of the houses are older than my parents (which, on the West Coast, is ... unusual ... that's an aspect of this part of America that is often lost on folks from the East Coast). Everything and everybody is here, good and bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
