Schnuppi, how old are you ( if you don't mind me asking?? ) you have got to be somewhere close to my age... Everything you said sounds just like when I was growing up...
We didn't tie our shoes either... we had a way that we laced them so they wouldn't slip and then stuck them down into the side.... a lot like what you see kids today doing, but we all seemed to have a white shoe fetish then.... or Birkenstock slip on's... I remember when they got REAL big for a while.
I just turned 28! Yep, we tucked the laces in on the sides and the big thing were white sneakers. You either had the Adidas Superstars or the Nike Converse. KSwiss were ok too  Birkenstock's weren't that popular in my group but I do remember them. Gee, we really had a dress-code going on That explains it..... I'm Turing 22, but I always ran around with a group quite a bit older than me... My hubby just turned 28 on the 9th of this month.

It's pretty cool to talk to someone who grew up pretty similar to myself - even though we were in different countries Memories, memories...

I don't even go into my 16 year old son's room i'd be knocked unconcious by the smell of sweaty socks, it's disgusting.
I'm laughing at your comment on dishes and cups don't know about your teenage son, but my 2 teenagers usually have mould growing in their cups, teenagers eh!

You may be the age of my children, but I consider you friends! And I save the discussions of vibrating handcuffs to have with friends.
