[QUOTE="steelhorse, post: 1569134, member: 18274"] I feel sorry for today's Youth also. Most do not have the opportunities we had as kids. When I was young there were no cell phones for texting, the only home game systems was Atari which got boring pretty quick, no cable tv (that I knew of). We were fortunate enough to live away from town and used our imaginations to entertain ourselves. My family had several rental properties and we had an area in the back part of the pasture called the "junk yard" where we would dump old lumber etc. We made many club houses. We would make wooden box traps for rabbits or whatever came along (always exciting when you notice the door was closed and didn't dnow what was in there). We made a "bucking barrel" out of a 55gal drum and springs. We had a rope swing (barge rope which we found along the river) in a big oak tree. We could go down to my Grandpa's crawdad ponds and shoot snakes and turtles or gig for bullfrogs. We could hop on my dirtbike with a couple of fishing poles and take backroads all over the county fishing different ponds or grab a shotgun or two and go dove, squirrell, or rabbit hunting. When we were smaller we would till up an area of ground and play PBR with a small cow we had or try to ride the stubborn horse "if" you could catch him. We had a swimming hole (8ft. deep pond) with a rope swing and a homemade wooden diving board. I do truly feel sorry for today's youth and their lack of opportunities and imagination that we had growing up. [/QUOTE]
