My friend Flicka

On the lap-band forum today, a member posted that her scars (from before and after WLS) seem more noticeable now, and I answered that I don't think my old scars are more noticeable now, but I do think I examine my body a lot more closely now (before I lost weight, I pretty much ignored the old bag-o-bones-n-fat), and as a result, the scar on my right leg from a fall I took while jumping over a wood fence and pretending to be My Friend Flicka looks a lot worse now.

And the My Friend Flicka reference fell flat.

So maybe it's an age thing.  Do you remember My Friend Flicka?

I wasn't ever a horsey girl the way some of my friends were, but My Friend Flicka was so cool...

Please tell me I'm not a dinosaur...

I got it on the Lap Band board.  I too had two friends that ran around every day at recess pretending to be horses.  (I could never keep up with them.)

I understand My Friend Flicka ... it must be an age thing ... or you could call it a generational gap. Yes, My Friend Flicka was so cool. I tried to act like I was riding a horsey (I liked a few of a western shows, too, as a child, and had one of the stick horses ... remember those?)

Jean, I bet that most of us got the Flicka remark....it has to be an age thing. Not that we are old or anything...just full of wisdom.

I had a few of the stick horses.....I loved them.

Speaking of horses...I always wanted to ride a horse and told that to my mom once..she told me that I couldn't because I would break it's back. I believed her when she told me that too......   Now I know better but really that is kind of mean isn't it?

I loved Flicka!

it's a generational thing--younger ppl only know "flick your Bic"--and even that is dating myself!!!

 Jean - you are not a dinosaur. I loved Flicka too.

Gottcha on that one, Jean.  Sure I remember - yes- an age thing! LOL

I  get the Flicka remark!   I loved those shows.    We didnt have the stick horses  I dont think  but we did have some old saw horses and an old couch cushion!!   We rode millions of miles on those horses!!!!   

I loved Flicka....I love horses!!
