Carmen - I got 30, too - I live next door to you. When you're not using the walker, can I borrow it? (I thought the zip was 999BC) -- this was before the extra 4 digits, which I can never remember.
I ate the wax several times, also dog food (remember the kind in the packets that looked like pink and yellow big league chew), snake skin, and I drank koolaid with rabbit pellets in it, all at the insistence of my big brother. If I didn't do it he would beat the stew out of me. Re: the wax, he'd drink all the juice from the bottles and make me eat the wax. You wouldn't think so, but he turned out to be a GREAT guy.
Carm, Yeah - my big brother tortured me too, I think it's normal.....
Unlike me, he is very quite and reserved. I think I embaressed him. He use to ask my mom if she could make me be quite?
I loved the wax, probably more than the .2 oz of juice. There was a penny store (do they even still exist) around the corner from my DGM (in the back of someone’s house of course that had the best 3/.01 candy. $1 would make me the richest kid on the block.
I remember when pop bottles were glass and I had this obsession with taking the little papers off of them that had the price. Every time we would go to the grocery store I would do it. It got to the point were I had to empty my pockets when we left and was forced to put them all back on during the weekends. (Have no idea why I kept doing it)
Shennie - We would get our allowance on Sat mornings and go directly to the candy store, spend our whole $2 and go home and eat candy and watch cartunes.....where did those happy days go??????
