Entertain me

[duppy man]

Why do you think we feel the need to pay to be entertained what has happened to us when I was a child we made games up and spent hours playing them...not now it has to be structured play ???

dont know dude im with you though when i was a kid i was happy just to take a walk in the woods or sit at the river or beach and watch the sunset or fish or hunt it takes a freakin crow bar to pry that kid of mine away from the phone and his play station and whats worse kids under 16 now cant hardly get a job any more no one will let a kid cut thier grass or shovel thier driveway any more for fear of a law suit all these enterainment distractions deff. are not doing kids any good

True when i was a kid it was even different then than it is now.There was atari in the way of computer games back then.I was always outside as a kid playing and skateboarding, rollerskating, bikes always digging holes in the yard and filling them with water and tadpoles then trying to cover it up so my mum didnt see.I liked collecting bugs lol like spitfires, spiders, ants and grasshoppers and stuff.Also there was a creek right behind my house and trees so we used to make tarzan swings and stuff i wish i was a kid again lol.Im always trying to get my son doing something other than playstation he is not interested usually but when my step daughter comes on weekends she loves to do other things with me rather than sit inside and play computer games.I got them outside last weekend with a huge piece of cardboard and made them collect sticks and leaves and all bush stuff then i told them to make a bush scenery lol my son hated doing it but my step daughter loved doing it.I told them that no games can go on until they finish lol it took them all day off and on but in the end they were proud that they made something like that because they did it themselves.I even get the kids sanding sometimes lol or helping me cookthey love when u ask for there help they feel important.

I get you, duppy. I was wondering a while back, when do dandelions stop being flowers and become weeds? When you're little you pick them for your mom, when you're older you spray them with weed killer. I leave them alone, what's wrong with a little yellow flower?

I remember going down to the river and catching crawfish. Put them in a rock arena and have them fight. catching catfish like nobodys business. Even catching some pigeons now and then under the bridge because there were thousands of them. Bicycles and no helments and many wipeouts. When we played GI joe we were serious lmao.

Yup I remember being knee deep in dandelions popping heads off

what's wrong with a little yellow flower?

most so called weeds that inhabit or gardens today were useful years ago like the lowly dandelion is great to eat from the flower head to the root which can be dried and crushed makes a coffee substitute

ah no that is your perspective in fact a so called weed is merely a displaced flower
