Melly in: The Cat's Cradle - Slide Show

[RoyGerson]

dug this one too totally excellent billy preston(i'm going to buy it on itunes!

[NYCity99]

I have loved Billy since I first heard him. We received a warning from YouTube that this song was under copyright protection but whoever owns it allowed us to use it anyway. That's why the ad appears on the bottom.

Thanks for touring our channel CR.

Send our love to all there. Peace.

[baaboo999]

wow well cool 5 stars

[NYCity99]

Again, thanks. It's nice to see you about.

Peace.

[bestjonbon]

Funny and CUTE! (But I would have enjoyed watching her do the same in stop motion--you've got me hooked now.)

[NYCity99]

Thanks. Mel doesn't enjoy appearing in our videos. She's a behind the scenes type of person. I was lucky she let me take these photos.

[extrafries]

I had an imagination once...

[NYCity99]

Our channel would be nothing without Mel's imagination.

Thanks for watching so many of our videos and taking the time to leave us such nice comments.

If we knew you were going to stop by we would have had refreshments ready. :)

Peace.

[NYCity99]

Cool and thanks for stopping by and watching so many of our videos. Peace.

[arilion3]

Wow, that looks hard! Great job!

[NYCity99]

Thanks.

It took her a few tries to get each one.

It wasn't hard, it was fun.

[peguefogo]

Where oh where has our common sense gone, oh where, oh where can it be!!!!!!!

[UploadPancakesHere]

guys.. its a trick! girls get you to put your hand in it and then thats how they catch you.. run!!! :P

[NYCity99]

LOL. I can't run, that cat cradlist is my daughter.

[peguefogo]

I had an idea for a video, we should do some using the old-school toys we can find!

I am a miisionary in Brazil, I might do one showing some of the make-shift toys the brazilian kids come up with.

[NYCity99]

That's a great idea.

Although I know for a fact, we no longer have any of the old toys around our house.

However, with the whole internet at our fingertips, I know I can get pictures of whatever I desire.

[peguefogo]

they consider those luch boxes as wepons in school today. somebody turned a switch... we need to find it and switch it back! Some light on discipline.

[NYCity99]

I suppose 'they' can consider anything a weapon. I wonder if our children have as much imagination as 'they' do when thinking up that sort of thing.

We need to hold parents accountable and bring some common sense back into this world.

[peguefogo]

man I can't believe that I forgot about the GI Joe's!

I used to make grass huts in the yard; linto style. and I had entire GI vilages. that was so much fun, and the tree house! Rope ladders!

Non-league baseball when every body just knew to be on the diamond...

[NYCity99]

The list is endless that we could think of.

Candy, foods, toys, games and TV shows just to name a few.

Okay, my favorite metal Monkees lunchbox. So old they used glass in the thermos. If you dropped it, the thermos was useless...

[peguefogo]

oh and what about the "top"?

and the gyro-scope!

[NYCity99]

Wow, those two are real blasts from the past.

Mel may know what each of those are but probably has never seen them live.

[peguefogo]

Hey, that reminds me of soooo many things from back in the day!

Cat´s Cradle, rubix cube, chinese jump rope,

the broom dance,etc...

that's cool! 5 stars!

Don't you miss the time when it was cool to have simple, but real, pass times. Origami has been trumped by the X-box.

[NYCity99]

Mel has grown up in the age of electronics. Sad for her but she's a happy camper.

Some of my favorites while growing up was the sunday comics and silly putty, a bright sunny day and a magnifying glass, my Tonka trucks and GI Joes.

Hey thanks for reminding me of simpler times.

Peace.

[superjerry7]

thats cool i used to do cats Cradle with my sisters when they got a book like that.

[NYCity99]

Mel dug that book out of the bottom of something.

She was so bored that she sat and made the designs.

I was so bored, I photographed her.

Thanks for stopping by.

[katieMCbindergarten]

[NYCity99]

Thanks Katie.

[bulliebaby06]

[NYCity99]

Thanks. When are you coming out with something new?

===

Congrats on ALL the honors last night.

Your crew rocks!

[htmlbandit]

Awesome job!

I don't think I could do that with my fumble fingers.

[NYCity99]

Thanks.

I was no help making any of them.

I just took the pictures. :)

[Nofby]

Nice stuff, very good use of your spare time! You should embark on a huge woolen eiffel tower!

[NYCity99]

Thanks. Great idea but we're not that ambitious.

[alphawolf446]

COOL!!!

[NYCity99]

Thanks!
