    Thanks jachainskier. It sounds like a sumo tube is not a good idea for a six year old.

    DanielC, I was thinking about your point a little more. It's too bad those kids never thanked you for tubing, but just because they didn't thank you doesn't mean you didn't make an impact in their lives. Any time you spent investing in their lives of kids is worth it! There are many worse things kids could be doing than tubing. Just a minute, I'm starting to feel a little verklempt.

    The verklempt person in the pic looks little like Mike Myers in a movie, except that the hands are not those of Mike Myers.

    Sorry, I think I watched too much SNL in the formative years. That is Mike Meyers in his skit as Linda Richmond in Coffee Talk. He would start to feel emotional (verklempt) and say something like "Talk amongst yourselves, I'll give you a topic. The Thighmaster was neither a thigh nor a master. Discuss." <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" border="0" alt="Razz" title="Razz" />

    Was there ever a Barbie Hydrodyne? I will search ebay for it. My nieces have a Barbie Ski boat, but it is not a Dyne.

    Actually that is Polly Pocket. They don't make a Hydrodyne for her. Poor thing. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" border="0" alt="Sad" title="Sad" />

    Wow, that's an old thread.

    So, is it like 1 on a scale from 1 to 10? Or more like, "We're #1" ;) :D :lol:

    Lol,, Sorry I wanted to post a cute picture of my friends grandson sleeping on a tube on the beach. So I deleted the text because I couldn't upload the pic.
