My GI Joe Headquarters. My Fave figure was Gung Ho, the Cajun Marine. 2. How many of your friends from high school do you still see or talk to at least once every year or so?
Talked with Alex yesterday. He's the only one. 3. If someone offered you four million dollars and the necessary support to try to climb Mount Everest within the next two years (and told you that the mortality rate is about five or ten percent), would you attempt to make the climb?
Yes, as long as I didn't go alone.
I have not spoken to a high school mate since the night of graduation. Literally. I only talked to them when absolutely necessary before that!
I have no interest in Mt. Everest. I am not good with uneven ground. I don’t think I’d like any of these extreme trips. When I was a kid I used to dream of going through the rain forest and traveling up and down the Amazon River. I would mind a boat trip on the Amazon.
I’d like to see the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Philippines and take a boat trip on the Danube (?) to look at castles along the river.
1. I can’t pick a single favorite toy, but high on the list were blocks, tinker toys, chemistry set and Thingmaker. Anybody remember Plastigoop? Do they still have that? I don’t think a toy like that would get past whatever organization screens toys. It involved high temperatures (I got several burns) plus chemicals that are probably toxic!
2. I talk to old high school friends every couple years. We really don't have much in common and have drifted apart. I think it's mostly because we were all so busy with careers and raising families.....plus there was a distance factor.
My very best childhood friend got mixed up with the drug crowd after I married and moved away. She's still living that life..... and after trying to help her numerous times....I had to back away. It's been about 7 years now since I've heard of her or from her. Sad...
3. You could offer me a billion dollars and I wouldn't attempt to climb Mt. Everest. I have trouble going to the top of a skyscraper....since I have a fear of heights. :)
