guess we were more responsible than kids of today are.my chemistry set contains oxidizers and instructions on haw to make explosives and was approved for kids and older. won't find anything like that today.M-80s and cheery bombs were also a lot of fun.

my son in law came over with a box of illegal fireworks a few weeks ago,, a big box, lots of extras,, top notch roman candles,, big one,, and about 30 M100's,, we popped a couple off in the back yard, so sweet,, had to school my boy a little,, told him not to light those things in your hand,, unless you want to lose fingers,, hahaha,, ouch,, there were bottle rocks,, showed him how they stand in the bottle,, there were the chineese clusters,, around 100 fire crackers wired together,, he blasted off about half the box on new years eve,,, good times,,, brought back so many memories,,, those roman candles i forgot how much they punch your arm backwards

sounds like a good time,, i hope you do it,, our snow melted away ,, Thank God,, was tired of it,,
what i enjoyed was watching the teen agers have a good time with them while i sat in my chair and watched,, good times,, just watching the thrill on thier faces,, brought enough joy to me,,
I've got access to Seal Bomb's here - they are used to try & keep seals out of salmon nets and they really go off with a bang plus they are waterproof & weighted so they sink.

heather was high on my list but I had a real thing for Olivia newton john.she played at my high school grad night party. it was 3 o'clock in the morning before I saw her show guess my girlfriend did not like me staring at her on stage because she elbowed me in the ribs hard enough to crack a rib

Two good choices there.
Here is the gal I was crushing on back then.
She and Neil Giraldo are quite a pair. I got to see her perform at a small venue in 98 - I literally stood feet away from her as she sang "Promises in the Dark".
What a gorgeous voice wrapped in that tiny gal.
