Annie,

Just so long as David and Hallie were not playing "post office" in the illusive playroom that, apparently, Mrs. Stoddard, Carolyn, Maggie, et al, don't know about yet!!!

And that music is just about driving me nuts too!!!  Everytime I hear that tune I think of nursery school kids and toddlers playing.  But 14 year olds??

I agree Cassandra.  Two 14 year olds, in 1970, which was the same age as me in 1970, are not going to be worried about "the playroom".  They going to wonder how the hell to get out of the house and thump a ride to Collinsport.  Get some bum to buy you some beer and a fifth of Wild Irish Rose for him, sit on the docks with some of your few friends, get plastered and make crude remarks to people.

Thats what I think they should be doing....I did.. ......... and some of you did too. [8285]

SOME of us didn't do it!

Some of us have NEVER done it!

Some of us lead VERY boring lives!

I graduated from parochial school in 67 and went right to work--no time for a frivilous life otherwise I would have been fired.  I didn't go to Woodstock or get high on the weekends. Girlfriends and I went to bars, met guys, danced and had a good time. We went to parties and vacationed together. Then we got married.

PS When I was 14 years old, I don't think I knew what a boy was back then. Nowadays, that is another story!

No, neither have I and it's not something I feel ashamed about.  My life has actually been rather interesting even without the hangovers, binges, pot smoking sessions and other stuff that so many others indulged in to make their lives more thrilling.   If that makes me a square, so be it!   [angl]

It does seem that the powers in charge failed to realize that David was no longer 5 years old - I think even in 1840 Tad and Carrie would have been way beyond the playroom stage.

Just for the record.....the finished basement in my parents' house was ALWAYS called the "playroom"....even when the only toys left down there were the pool table, the TV and the Stereo.  ::) ......and my brother and his buddies were still hanging around there when they came home from Vietnam.

I am with the rest of you.  I have never been drunk either.  I was a teenager in the fifties.  I was raised by my grandmother and didn't have a playroom.  Had a very nice bedroom of my own.  I was a quiet teenager and a bookworm, still am a bookworm.

(Where's Ringo when you need him?! ;) )

Not only are these kids too old, but the "music box type" music to cast a spell theme is a little tired as well. Liked Josette's theme better.

Seriously, what's with every1 treating David and Hallie like little kids, they deserve better. And the poor kids are always stuck in that house and never get to go chill with any of the other kids in collinsport (if there are any).

David is lucky to have a girl around, i would've about died being stuck in that house with no girls, then again, Vicky was his governess, and So was maggie, and they are both very sexy, so maybe he didn't have it so bad. :) ;)

And man, that music that comes from the playroom is so annoying now, I would've gone insane if i would've heard that music as many times as those kids do. ::) :o :)

Dom,

Thank You!  I was begining to think I was "the odd man, or in this case, woman, out."

I did do those things when I was a "teenager".   Except thumbing rides, I never did that.  And you know what...I enjoyed it.  Sure, it was over the top sometimes, but isn't that what being a teenagers is??

No Terry, you're not the only one.  I went to a Catholic elementary school and learned more there then I ever did on the streets!  So by the time I was 16 I had gotten all of that out of my system.   I remember getting a little wild when I was 13,14 and 15 but with an Italian father hovering over you it was pretty hard to get away with anything.  And God forbid you got caught, you definetely wouldn't do that again!

It's funny because I remember saying how much I couldn't wait until I turned 18 so I could feel free to do whatever I wanted.  But when I reached 18 and had graduated from H.S I started working full time and was either too busy or just plain tired to do any of the things I wanted to do but couldn't when I was younger!

Brings to mind something I read a while ago which said
"Now that I am old enough to do anything I want, I don't feel like it anymore."

"Now that I am old enough to do anything I want, I don't feel like it anymore."

With age comes the wisdom to know enough not to do it - or at least that's the way it should be. [wink2]
