We didn't even use peroxide..we used Bactine spray, followed by Mercurichrome, which would drip everywhere, turning everything it touched neon orange!

Oh my god. My grandmother swore by Mercurichrome. The thought of it and Bactine make me cringe!

Okay, so I just googled Mercurichrome because I had never even heard of it.. I found this..
An agent that was once popular as a topical antiseptic. Its perceived effect was based solely on the fact that it turned the skin bright red.
uuhm.. okay.

WIWAK cartoons were violent, a playground fight was no big deal, and it was safe for kids to play kick the can or hide and seek after dark.

Darn, I had forgotten all about Bactine. It was much kinder and gentler than Mercurichrome, or (worst of all) Merthiolate. That stuff burned! But, it healed up little cuts and scrapes pretty well.

Aww yes, I remember my first conversation at school when I was a kid ...
~ "Ok to use your crayons?"
"Yeah, but just don't lean hard on 'em, will ya?"
~ "Ok I won't ..."
"Are you leaning hard on them? You so are!!!"
~ "No ..."
~ "Can I use your markers now?"
"What do you need them for?"
~ "I just want to colour this little bit of my picture right here brighter."
"No!!! That parts way too big, you'll waste them."
~ "Oh .... Ok .... "
~ "Can I use your eraser?"
"Yeah, but don't use the clean side, I'm keeping it clean."
~ "Ok. I won't ...
~ "Can I use your -"
"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!! WOULD YA EVER FUCK OFF!!!"

Amen - true - it's nice when it's the whole community involved in helping to socialise us.
WIWAK we were allowed to climb trees and jump fences and build "Tarzan" rope swings. Yeah...we fell off....sometimes.....
WIWAK it wasn't uncommon to hear "Be quiet or I will give you something to cry about"...not sure if you can do that anymore.
I heard something similar to that many times. "Quit crying (whining) or I'll give you something to cry (whine) about!" I never considered it to be any kind of abuse.

WIWAK, the LAST place I wanted to be on a weekend was in my house watching TV - except for watching early Saturday morning Bugs Bunny cartoons....

WIWAK I had to wait until I was 15 before I could wear makeup. I saw a 7 year old in it today.

I hope that whatever you DO have is even better. (((hugs)))
WIWAK, "cell phones" were actually communicators, and they only had them on the starship "Enterprise." The original flip phone. I still want them to come up with that cool chest pin that you smack with the palm of your hand to talk to the mothership.
