Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Nov. 26 2007, 04:27 You guys have tainted my innocent childhood memories with your talk of multiple carrots and extended footage. Please continue. Thinking back, things weren't all that great then. I mean, we didn't have proper heating for the house, so winters were spent huddling under layers of blankets (we had plenty of those scratchy woolen army ones) or hovering over the old gas heater in the dining room. I think I was 18 when we finally got a forced air heating system installed. Anyhoo, back to making flakes. Mine are under "SWEETPEA" from "PUYALLUP". Yes, they are addictive. I must have several dozen by now. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Nov. 26 2007, 06:47 Well, that site will keep me busy between customers for a while. Nice find Sweetpea. Not that I have any idea what snow is being a "southern softie" -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Nov. 26 2007, 14:34 I'm sorry to go askew Sweetpea but I also remember when I was a kid I had it rough too, infact we were so poor we got all our clothes from Army surplus stores. And I'll have to tell you it was no fun in class 5M being the only boy dressed as an SS Stormtrooper. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND. AM A VICTIM OF YOUR CARNIVOUROUS LUNAR ACTIVITY.

I am not the only 'Alan' from England adding snowflakes to that website. I am, however, running out of rhymes for 'snow' and 'white'. Back to top

The Big BellEnd Group: Members Posts: 971 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Nov. 26 2007, 18:09 Talking of snowflakes, when I was a kid snow for me was a wonderous thing I loved everything about it, I would even eat snow when I got thirsty. My favourite snow to eat was the yellow snow usualy situated at the base of lampost's. Oh seeing as we're getting all nostalgic it remind's me of my last trip down memory lane.  Yeah I got a ticket for doing 50 in a 30 zone. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND.

You were lucky to have snow to eat, TBBE. We only had pebbles. @Sweetpea: I found your message, responded, and planted one of my own in your most recent flake.... Back to top

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Nov. 27 2007, 04:50 I've attempted a humble 'Tubular' flake - 5207889. Alan, your versery has really gotten me in a wintery mood.
