I just can't handle swinging anymore. :(

I think you're right.  I used to love the ol' sit n' spins...honestly, I'd probably vomit my brains out if I tried that again!  

I can't believe fall protection is not required for the jungle gym. Maybe I need to talk to my legislator.

I used to ride roller coasters back to back to back.  I recall as a kid at Busch Gardens riding 5 times in a row once on a very slow day at the park.

Now with my 10 year old I ride one and then "daddy needs a moment".  He of course is ready to go again and again and again...

Getting old sucks.

Getting old does suck. I now get sick when I hold my kids arms and spin the in circles while standing. I can go around about 3 times then I feel all dizzy and my kids and yelling "more, more"....

Getting old really sucks

Will CD's next post be:

1) Which sandals go best with my black calf-high socks?

2) Which restaurant has the best 4pm early bird specials?

3) My new slacks, pull them up to my nipples? or just my sternum?

I'm laughing my a$$ off. That is funny, very well done.

I did a summer somersault onto the couch the other day and was so dizzy from that one.  I decided at the age of 35 I no longer need to do them

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was ride my bike with my dad and sister down to the local emelmentary school where they had huge swings with the 15 foot chains. In fact I broke my arm in two bailing out of a swing once. (It was always my dad yelling "Bail Out!" at the top of the swing that encouraged this behavior, now that I think about it, he must have got some enjoyment out of watching me try to kill myself... hmmm... )

I got nostalgic once in college and tried to swing again. Yup, got sick, couldn't believe it. Guess I'll have to have a kid so I can get pleasure out of watching them jump off the swing.

BWA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Great stuff!  

1) I regularly leave the pool area wearing my "just spun-dry baggy red swimtrunks complete with white undershirt and dress socks with brown dress shoes, toweled off hair to boot!

2)me and my fam eat dinner at 4:00.

3) I haven't reached that stage yet!

Life is good.

There are still some of those swings around, at least in our parks. I've always encouraged my kids to "bail out", even turning it into a game to see who can go farther. Basically a fun way of teaching them to take controlled risks. I have some great video of it.

I've always been prone to motion sickness. Spinning is my kryptonite. This sucked growing up as I spent my summers living within listening distance to an amusement park. Now Dramamine is my friend. I can go on any ride.
