We didn't have cinnamon toothpicks, and we never had a color TV while I was living at home. Or a remote control. The games look fun, but my gran's dad had been a drunken gambler who gambled away all the money they'd saved for the dentist---so---she wouldn't let me play any games that used dice!! That was an odd thought process. I played them when I went to a friend's house. And I could have games with spinners. :P

I made chains out of pull tabs Shasta. Remember the pull tabs from coke cans? I would collect them until I had about a hundred, and then I would stick the tab through the hoop of another tab and bend it down. I kept doing this until I had a chain. Then I would take the chain and hang it in my bedroom. I had an entire curtain of pull tab chains. Sometimes I would paint the tabs with shiny metallic paint; red, blue, pink, green, purple, etc. I placed the chains in the center of my room and the "curtain" helped divide the room into two separate spaces. a bedroom area and a lounge area. :D

WOW!! ::) That's a lot of coke can tabs!! Are they still somewhere in the house where you grew up?? Isn't it funny how kids liked their rooms to be "sections" like that? I didn't have any dividers, but I thought of different parts of the room as separate. My room was added on to the house--it was nice and big, but it had very little insulation and no heat source. Winters were the pits!! Water left in my room actually FROZE once in a while. Quilts, blankets, whatever---were piled on the bed. MAN!! It was hard to get up in the mornings. :o

Oh God Shasta, that sounds awful!! You poor thing!! :'(
Yeah, I sectioned off my bedroom and I had the whole black lights, strobe lights, florescent posters, incense, flashing lights theme going on in there! I would go in my bedroom, turn off the overhead light, turn on the black lights and strobe lights and jam to Boston, Styx, Kansas, Kiss, Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath on the stereo! :D
Like I said, those were the days!!
