Using my blog to try and make the world a better place. If I can make someone forget their troubles for a few minutes a day, it's all worth it.

I watch the ripples change their size, but never leave the stream of warm impermanent sand. So the days flow through my eyes but still the days seem the same. And these children that you spit on as they try to change their world are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.

Sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.
Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad. Sing a song, make it simple to last your whole life long. Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing a song.

I always wanted to live at a place that had a little garden with a pathway to a pond. Never happened, though. Well, maybe someday...

Toss Across by Ideal:

Sometime around 1973 / '74, I got received a "Toss Across" for Christmas. It was one of those gifts that my folks got for me, but really they bought it for themselves. Honestly, they could be so self-serving at times....

My brother and I had this. We did enjoy it at first but eventually became bored with it.

My folks could've played that game all day...

I spent many hours playing this game. Seems weird seeing those little polka dot bean bags after all these years.

I'd kind of forgotten what they looked like too.

We never had one. :(

You did make me laugh, though, talking about your parents. The only reason we have a Wii in our house is because Mom (me!) wanted it.

They still had this game in the
80's. My friend had one and we would play it but eventually got in trouble for throwing the beanbags at each other in the house.

I had this game, but when I got it in the late 70s, early 80s. I think they dalled it Tic-Tac-Toe...I could be wrong though.
