ROFLMFAO @ PF! Geezzzzzzzzzz! I remember the ball bearings oh so well! Too damn funny hun! *I gotta brand new pair of rollerskates, you got a brand new key. I kinda wish we'd get together and try them out to see. La la la la la.....la la la.....la la la la la la........oh, I got a brand new pair of rollerskates, you got a brand new key!*.....if ya know what I mean...*wink* Hey babe! A little dab'll do ya!!!!!!!

Used to roller skate all the time! Then I realized I suck at it and, if after 7 years, I still can't skate backwards.......I should hang it up! Only thing I ever really got the knack for was the foot over foot turn (left or right). Big friggin whoop! How do you think my ass got so big? From those leg flailing flops on it....that's how! And I always hated those smarty ass pants guys who would skate up to me so fast I'd pull my hands up to my chest to protect them from being skated on........and they would stop on a dime and extend a hand and say, "Are you ok? That was a tough spill", with that snide snicker on their face. Back then if I yelled...."Fuck You!" at them, I would have been kicked out of the rink for life. And I thought......I don't really care for the skating part but I do like the music (when they spun records....not the organ part...LOL!....Yes, I remember the organist PF.....OMG! Guess we were making the transition to records and didn't want to fire that guy just yet!) and there is that one cute guy over there and all my friends are here.......and so I held my tongue and reached for the hand and got up and skated away! Oh..the memories!

I do still bowl on occasion. I shoot pool. I (snow) ski.....but not so much anymore......I figured out I do indeed hate being cold (regardless of the Khalua in my coffee). I scuba dive....and I'm actually rather good at that (suprisingly). And lately.....in my spare time...I shovel snow! Arrgggggggg! Will this winter ever end???

Great thread db! TY hun!

Rollerblades RULE!

I go a lot to a place where there is a paved walking trail through the woods, but the weather has sucked all winter, but spring is soon upon us.

I love to rollerskate. Started when I was young. Not professional level or competition or anything like that but would skate for HOURS. I picked up ice skating from there. We still have some skating rinks near by and even some drive-in's. It is West Virginia after all, we are 20yrs behind everyone else.

Just today I went bowling. Not a big deal for most, but I don't think I've been bowling in more than twenty years.

I think I'm having a second childhood. Or is it my third. Actually, it could even be my fourth. You'd think having another childhood would help memories too.

Oh well, at least I gave the other guys I was bowling with reason to feel good about their games. Actually, though, I didn't think two of the games were too bad. A 145 and 155 respectively.

We won't talk about the other except to say it was more than 100 but 35 pins less than one of those two.

Good for you DB I am glad to hear that you are reviving so many of your childhood experiences.

I am learning to roller blade and I have a blast on the boardwalk at PB. I should have done this years ago.
