+dianeh85 :	(30 July 2010 - 04:29 PM) I was partial to the orange glue with the slanty top
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 04:25 PM) Wearing them on your toes is okay. It's eating them afterward when things get creepy.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:54 PM) What's really creepy is wearing 'em on your toes. Not that John does....
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 03:13 PM) I really didn't expect you to do it at McDonald's though. That was weird.
+John :	(30 July 2010 - 03:09 PM) I liked to stick Bugles Corn Chips on the tips of all my fingers to give the look that I had claws.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) I had a jelly bean stuck in my ear once. It was delicious.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) That counts for A LOT!!!
+Wyldfyre63 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:54 PM) I shoved a small pink pencil erasure up my nose when I was little, does that count for anything?
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:35 PM) Did you bring the Elmers??????
+Scrapinator :	(30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) I do miss some interesting discussions when I am gone for a while
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) That was the Southwest Ranch flavored.
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 02:22 PM) I always thought Elmer's Glue-All had a certain "tangy zip" to it.
+mistylady :	(30 July 2010 - 02:21 PM) I had a hard time keeping paste in the classroom. My kids would sneak bites when they thought I wasn't looking. Finally was able to get glue sticks. Took all the fun out of pasting. I remember eating paste when I was little, too.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:20 PM) Yes.
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 02:17 PM) I did the glue hands thing too! I never ate Elmer's though. But I was VERY tempted. It smells just like Miracle Whip. Wait, does that mean…?
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:12 PM) Well, I was also a dweeb, so they can't blame the pot in my case
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:07 PM) I think 95% of folks our age partook...say...that could explain a few things. And they blamed the pot!
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) No wonder I turned out so weird.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) It's a wonder what hasn't been erased hasn't stuck together.
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:05 PM) I remember the glue on the hands, too. I think I ate that also. It's a wonder I lived through childhood.

Product Review ::
I LOVE my Ergo. I just purchased one about a week ago and have been using it to carry my 2 1/2 year old daughter while out walking in the woods and up and down our steep hill (my version of training for the park)and I just had to share that this is an awesome carrier! With my daughters age and size finding a carrier that was comfy for both her and me has been very hard, well mostly impossible. We had used in the past one of the more traditional hiking carriers but it killed my back and shoulders, and as she got bigger it was worse. Also they always made me feel top heavy and that is not a good thing while hiking in the mountains.
The Ergo is wonderful! I carry my daughter in the back possition and its like she is riding piggy back. After several long walks with her on my back my shoulders and back both feel great! You can also move baby to front possition but this one did not work for us with her size. If she was a little bit smaller it would have been great. We have not used the on hip possition as of yet because the back possition has worked so well but that option is available also. I wish I had one of these for our past trips to the park it would have made hiking with her so much easier. This carrier is not made just for hiking it is great to wear around the house out on walks, to the mall... you name it.
I can't recommend it highly enough! This is a great carrier from Newborn to 40 lbs(this is the weight limit stated for the Ergo) My daughter weighs somewhere around 25 lbs and it works wonderful for her! Its also easy to get on and off... I put it on and get her in it all by myself. She likes this carrier a lot and looks forward to our walks.

The only drawback I have found so far is that its hard to carry any gear while you are wearing this pack and that includes water. Today I strapped on a waist pack with water bottle holder and that worked pretty well to carry a few small things and some water along.

Here is the Ergo website http://www.ergobabyc...tegory/carrier/
I got mine off of Ebay. I also notice on the website they have a backpack attachment and a weather cover that look very cool and helpful for hiking!
