Great stories, guys. I'm sure I'll unlock a few memories soon, and send in a story or two. (I know a few that are toooo embarrassing!)

Have you 2 ever seen the movie Full Metal Jacket from 1987. I'm watching that movie right now. It's one of my favorite army movies.

I should say i actually live on Wichita's south side, where no major business locates! Everything here is east-west sides. Lol. It was a big deal when Dillons built a store on the. South side!

How to narrow it down to just one story would be so hard for me 😂. Do I talk about sneaking into my older sister's sleepovers, riding the power cycles to 7-11 for slurpees and arcades, school stories, the early PG movies that we saw that should have been alot higher 🤔,etc.
