Oh man! I am old! Half of that stuff I had no clue on and the other half I knew because of the kids I babysat. *sigh*

BTW, some of you may be able to answer this question. What the heck are those thick rubber bracelet things people are wearing nowadays? I think all the people at my office are too old because none of us wear them.

Lol! How true how true. Do you all remember doing the thing - along with the wave hairstyle - where you would stand in front of a mirror and mash your fringe around with the palm of your hand in a circle over and over until it was teased beyond belief and then pin it back in a big boof with a slide comb??

We started reminiscing about shows.... Hee-Haw, Knight Rider, Magnum P.I., Hart to Hart, Fantasy Island and Love Boat just to name a few.
How funny!!!!

Home of Jon Bon Jovi!
WOW! I remember ALL of those things! My hair was bigger than me and we used like a can of hairspray I week!! Perms were the in-thing.

Anyone ever have parachute pants? You know, the swish, swish, swish when you walk thing. hilarious.

and #54. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - You give love a bad name.
umm...I still listen to Bon Jovi...they're my favorite band ever. can you tell I'm from New Jersey?


How about Strawberry Shortcake and the Purple Pie Man...he was creapy, wasn't he?

Who can forget Poltegeist and Carolanne...and Silver Spoons. Ricky Shroeder was my first crush.


Anybody carry on those combs in their back pocket like we did? We thought we were so cool.


Thanks for the memories!
Susan

Anyone remember Pogs? I remember when they came out when I was in elementary school, and it was a HUGE craze that swept the whole school. Every recess, when you went out, there'd literally be 10 groups of kids playing Pogs. Within a couple weeks, though, the school banned Pogs, probably because it was promoting gambling, lol
