I'm so old I Remember when:

Or….. I could shine them up, mix up some epoxy acrylic, line them out on a nice board, pour the acrylic over them and have it as a table top or backsplash or something. Conversation piece!

I've seen that done with mardi gras dabloons, came out pretty cool looking

I once saw an Abraham Lincoln picture made with all pennies. That was very cool looking but I don't remember where I saw it

I remember seeing pictures made with bottle caps

Looking up close was just a bunch of different bottle caps and not interesting at all

You had to step away a good bit to see the picture

And once you saw the picture

AMAZING

I remember drinking water from a garden hose

And drinking rain water from a barrel

And playing in the rain

I did not melt like the adults that told me I would melt if I got wet playing in the rain

Hey BYC peeps
Was anyone else out there told as a little girl 1961-1968

You are so sweet
You will melt if you get wet
Or something similar

I don’t know what the adults said to little boys

You have missed a lot of history that I had never heard of before. So entertaining for some of us. I never had a helmet either and drank a lot of water from a garden hose too.

I am remembering my past

some I have not thought about in years’sss and remembering what I was told

I am enjoying going back and reading this thread and remembering

Thank y’all

Might be a Southern thing.

My parents told me how smart I was, how strong I was, how inventive I was, how helpful I was, how nice I was to others, how proud of me they were... things like that. If I hadn't overheard Mom talking with others about me, I'd have no idea she thought I was pretty or sweet. Didn't bother me none either, I was having too much fun living every moment of my young life, secure in the knowledge my family loved me.

Like "magic eye" pictures (stereograms)?

Yup. That was my experience too.

Some body in town did a basement bar like that back in the 60s, I forget how many dollars he said he used, figure 2'x 8' and pennies touching.

Was it this, @tripletfeb ?

No, wasn't that big. That's cool, though

As my dad would say whenever I asked about money. "A buck-two-ninety-eight."
