Do you remember when?

Girlie pursuits?

Oh, you know typical little girl things....playing house, doctor, mother, librarian (lol, yes I did) Barbies, and of course DENTIST. We used to pic our sisters teeth with nut pics and toothpaste and pretend we were dentists. She had to have extensive dental work due to our ... abilities :D

Gosh, I'd forgotten all those games I used to play with Lizzie, the girl from across the street, Nurse and Patient, School Master/Mistress and Pupil, my older brother told me that we were found in bed together once, I have no recollection of it. I guess we were playing Mums and Dads.

Do you remember when you entered the movie half way through and watched till you got to where you came in?

Thanks Kendra...been there, done that. You didn't grow up in Massachussettes did you?

I didn't :) I'm more midwest in location :) We did get this show though.

I was lucky enough to get great Canadian television too. I loved the Friendly Giant :D
 
Speaking of music I remember when I had to stay up late at night and listen to AFM because it was the only programme that broadcast decent music.

Does anyone remember the old vinyl 78's?

Remember 78's! I have loads of them , and 33' and 45'.... What I remember is 8 track's .... and try to forget.
And portable cassette players that where like over 250 ...

RW- the first time I heard the word steroids and laughed my ass off, was in a news story something along the lines of,
Today it was discovered that (Name your player) had an unfair advantage by the use of steroids. thought he meant Hemorrhoids
 
Do you remember when 'gay' meant 'happy?'

wouldn't it follow that queer meant odd too?

Do you remember when your school cafeteria got soda machines. We thought we had died and gone to heaven. In this protect your kids from everything society now, it is probably all sugar free fruit juice. :)

Yep and pansy too. That also leads into ambiguously named cartoon charters. :rolleyes:
Never had them , and fruit juice by its nature has lots of sugar. Water is safer.

Dad said great report card, what about the B? I was pissed.

DYR when kids were made to be responsible? Now, parents come up with every excuse in the world for them.
 
Do you remember when train sets were clockwork?

Do you remember when kids played with toys other than video games? Train sets, car sets, models, board games, lincoln logs, erector sets. Games that made you think, made you interact with other people.

I do, it was such a big decision. Going rack by rack, sifting through all of the movies. And when the video store had a new release they had tons of them in stock.

DYRW Cable first came out? I used to think that becaus my friends families were paying for TV they had no commericals. I was so jealous. I had no idea what it really was.

I remember hanging out at my friends house to watch cable, because my parents were the LAST holdouts to sign up. We had rabbit ears! :rolleyes:



DYR: Major Cable TV events like LIVE AID and the Michael Jackson THRILLER video premiere?!

Do you remember when, TVs were huge? Big console things that when they broke down you would put the lil black and white TV on top of it.
