Yeah Larry, although I give my live in grandkids every opportunity to come to the shop and suffocate for awhile.  The younger one does from time to time but the older is more into baseball.  BASEBALL???  Who would be interested in that?  At least he's not playing soccer any more.  Fortunately they are both good kids and stay busy, if not in model airplanes, but at least busy and almost no drones. :)

You misspelled 'kickball'.

   Soccer, AKA, "Futbol" for foreigners, AKA "Kicking the Ball and pretending to be hurt".

       Although, truth be told, the NBA also has a significant problem with "flopping", too, Lebron in particular being able to call his own fouls. In LeBron's case, it's more like "Getting swept and pretending to be hurt".

As a kid at home I had to hide my Ambroid.  My step brothers friends would help themselves to it.  Squirt it on a sock and chew on it.  That was until they started putting something in the glue to make sniffing miserable.  Forgot now what it was.

Oil of mustard, I believe ... in order to deter the glue sniffers.  Ambroid was never the same after that.

   When I worked in one of the local hobby shops when I was in high school ( late '60's ) kids would come into the store and want to buy 10 tubes of Testor's plastic glue. We were wise as to what they wanted to do with it so we made it store policy that you had to buy a model kit ( airplane, car, whatever ) to get a tube of glue. I believe Testor's was putting "essence of horseradish " in their glue to keep the kids from sniffing it in their paper lunch bags. It would burn the crap out of their nose ( nostrils ) with the horseradish in the glue. I always liked covering and doping wings in Mom's kitchen in the winter time. We had to keep the door closed to the living room and we always got a good buzz from that. Our Dad got away with it so my older brother and I could do it too...........
