Chels, you're a nutcase, love it. I think I can safely say the adventures wil continue for sure! :bigthumbsup:
Nonie and I don't want to grow up either! And we both miss you.

MCelheny,

Mabe you passed out from lack of oxygen! LOL that would account for not remembering anything.

Did you enjoy the windy city???

[walkstop]

When I was a little kid there were some interesting things that I did. One of the things that I remember the best was that I would go trick or treating, but you would think I would ask for candy right? Wrong...I would ask if i could use their vacuum cleaner.

So that's the background. You can imagine in all of those years, we did many crazy things. Elyse, Maria, Kathy, Sandy and me!

Early on we would emulate movies or movie stars. I would be Katharine Hepburn and maybe Elyse would be Rita Hayworth, or Kathy would be Doris Day, etc. So we'd stay in character, even in classes. Drove everyone nuts! This was a grade school thing. Also if we loved a movie, that's what we were. Like the Nun's Story. We were all Nun's for quite some time with towels on our heads. Bell, Book and Candle was another favorite. We were all witches. That lasted a really long time. And I can't remember what movie prompted it but our teachers nicknames us "The Gun Girls" we carried cap pistols. (Confiscated many times.)

Even in freshman High School, we decided to be The Beatles for a while. Elyse was George, Maria was Ringo, Kathy was John and I was Paul. Sandy didn't participate because she was too busy getting pregnant! Hal-lo!

So these friendships are over 50 years and we've been through it all together.
From cutting out of lunch in grade school to swing upside down from the bars in the bathroom stalls to the Halloween egging of cars (police pulled us in and called our parents.) I was driving, Maria was shotgun, sneaking each other out of the windows of our houses to go into the city to Rush Street. All the way through marriages, divorces, pregnancies, more marriages, more divorces. (Elyse is attempting her 5th marriage!)

These wonderful girls and I just clicked from day one. Just like Nonie, Barefoot and I. And the adventures will continue with my new friends, I hope, because there's one thing I know for sure. I don't ever want to be an adult. :joke:

Sam, Well now, thats at least one good thing about getting old isnt it?

I told my family I was running away. I hid up in the hay in the top of the barn. Nobody seemed to care and it got dark. I got scared and climbed out of the hay and went to the house. Guess that wasn't crazy-just stupid! ;D

I also hitched everyplace I went. One man showed me his private part. I didn't ride with him anymore.

Sam, Chels, Nonie, Bare, Mc, Red, Blondie, Tal, I love this thread. You are all hysterical!!! I was a very good girl after the croquet incident.

[renielarson]

I was too darn good (my mother scared the c r a p outta me with her fire and brimstone talks).

I am living vicariously through all of you.

Keep the stories coming!

[Rokinronda]

OK THE craziest thing I did was get married the day after I turned 18, 2 weeks after high school graduation. Pregnant? Nope. Puppy love? Nope! Ed and I have been very very happy for 34 years this month. ;D

[Barefoot]

When I was a teenager, I used to hitchhike with a little paring knife in the pocket of my shorts for protection, although I never had to use it. It was probably dull anyway. Just one of those things I didn't tell my mother about. I forgot I ever did it until some guy reminded me at a high school reunion 40 years later. I can't believe I was ever that young and naive. ;D

Congratulations! :bigthumbsup:

[nONIE]

Bare, was that really the craziest thing you can remember?? You were a very good girl.

Well, My best friend and I called up everyone in the phone book with the last name of Byrd, and asked them if they were flying south for the winter!!! OMG, Would you call it clever and creative? or just bored out of our minds. 1rnfl

[chelsea24]

Ronda, hahahaha the croquet incident was enough! And Bare, you can't fool me, I know there are more stories there.
