Lawn darts, LOL. I never used them but the husband did, at a birthday party once. What do you know, the kids were shooting them up in the air (egged on by the birthday boy) and birthday boy ended up with one sticking straight out of his forehead. Kinda put a damper on the birthday party, I think.
They still shouldn't be regulated, no one lost an eye.... I'm amazed that airsoft guns and BB guns are still around, actually. We always made the kids wear protective gear, and my son's a good enough shot that when he asked to "go get a rabbit" in total innocence I said yes, thinking "this will never happen."
15 minutes later my kid returned with a rabbit, and I had to hastily research whether it was even edible, and how to skin, disembowel and cook a rabbit, that was a "yes" that I have regretted for a long time....
The rabbit wasn't too bad, actually.

eBay took mine off of auction
I had bids going into $71.00, I didn't know at the time that they were banned.I wrote to the FDA.... Someone wrote me back, LOL. They were "delighted" to hear my comments and encourage all "nicotine" user's participation and feedback about harm reduction devices. They encouraged me to ask other vapers or tobacco users to write in with comments, so I am doing so.
They also couldn't quite seem to separate "nicotine" from "tobacco" though: "Ultimately, we hope that placing nicotine, and the issue of addiction, at the center of the agency's tobacco regulation efforts will have a positive impact on public health." I have no idea what this statement means, other than, "We haven't quite decided yet."
But hey, someone read something, they even got my name right (often unusual with the senator staffer crowd).

Rofl! My 13yr licked his salt lamp this passed week! He wanted to know what Himalayan salt tasted like!
When I was just a kid, a friend and I would go into where they were building new houses and find a chunk of roofing tar, and chew it, for some reason we liked it, don't ask me why now tho.
Ya, guess I was. As I remember it, it didn't taste as bad as you might think, but it sure couldn't of been very good for you.
Not only did I ride my bike without a helmet, me, sibs, and all the neighborhood kids started this game where it was a "trap the person" situation, so we were running all over the neighborhood, parking our bikes in the CENTER of the road (right in the center, LOL) to act as an additional "blocker" and running around all over in the middle of the roads in that neighborhood.
None of the adults ever complained, LOL, though sometimes they had quite a "maneuver" around abandoned bicycles, shoes, whatever we decided to use to "block" someone in.
Now I'm reading this it sounds kinda dangerous, but we had a lot of fun with it. You know. I can't imagine letting kids do that *here* especially now our elderly snowbirds are back, it would probably end up in a lawsuit or something, but different times, eh?
It really was a clever idea, kind of like an expanded, crafty version of tag. On bikes. Without helmets, and running without shoes....
We also put my little sister on stilts without the right kind of preparation. She fell face first onto the sidewalk, and lost her two front teeth (luckily not the permanent ones) but she was toothless in front for a year or two. That was my older brother's idea, I felt it was a bad one, but of course he won the argument.... We ALL got punished though, except for my sis.
Nostalgia....

I want to play....
OK picture this, 3 kids, 2 minibikes, 1 BB gun.
To ride a minibike the third kid had to shot (from the pouch) one of the people on a minibike.
Hey, we wore helmets.

Tho I never participated, some kids I knew played cowboys and Indians with bb guns. At least I was smart enough to stay out of that.
We had a tether ball pole on the playground of my elementary school. I remember getting nailed more than once with that ball. Didn't stop me from playing though. It was all part of the game. Taught you to be observant and duck when necessary. Kind of how real life is sometimes.

So now we have four years, before any PMTA's are due. At the end of the press conference, Zeller said that they would have a Q&A session in a week, it has now been several weeks , and...crickets...@stols001, forgive me, but I don,t trust a word out of anyone in the FDA's mouth. We wrote them and commented at the appropriate time regarding the deeming, and it felt like they took what we said and used it to craft the most damaging legislation against vaping imaginable. I don't like them, I don't trust them.
Sounds like the rock fights we had when we were kids. Heaved rocks at each other until the first kid got hit and ran home bloody screaming for his mommy. Still not sure I'm any smarter.
