27 mostly wimpy things compared to what we did in the Sixites. I didnt see Mercuachrome in the list but my Nana would swab my sore throat with the stuff, and it worked too.
Go unescorted to a friends house? lol, we would take off on our bikes ride several miles to a lake and fish off the spillway. Wrecked my bike, fell off the handlebars, fell out of trees, etc - one of my brothers fell backwards out of a moving convertible and no broken bones, a couple of scuffs thats all. I was in worse shape propelled from the back seat to front when my Mom slammed on those Cadillac power brakes!
Kids today dont know what FUN is.
One summer afternoon at our property, a couple of acres in the back yard which had chain link fencing, I was at the very back climbing over in my swim trunks and the sharp pointed ends scratched my leg and caught my trunks, but that material was tough and supported my weight so I was suspended between heaven and earth and could not get down.
I hollered for a good while with a bloody leg but I was stuck hanging there for nearly a hour until the neighbors found me. Im certain I made a great impression on their daughter, too. At least in 1969 people in did not have cell phones or there would have been photographic evidence of the incidence - and thank God school was out or the story would have been general knowledge the next day.
One option would have been wiggle out of the trunks, but then I would have been indecently exposed!
