And do you know completely out the blue, "Mama used to say" was on the radio this week. I was singing in my car like it was a recent hit http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Since this thread was brought back up to the top, I had to highlight this post because I was cracking up about the Lee jeans http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

This week I heard my old jam....Hang a sign up on the door, saying don't disturb this groooovvvve http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

Do you guys remember the lemon twister? You know when you put your foot through this lil black thing and with you other foot you jump over the yellow lemon that was attached to the black thing. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Oh what about ZOOM-Common and zoom zoom zooma zoom. Let's see if I can spell this right-UBBA FRUBBA WUBBA DUBBA-oh something like that.

I remember having to wear dresses every single day. My best friend would bring me a pair of shorts and a shirt, and I would change clothes when I got to school. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I just told my mother about that yesterday. We laughed awhile. Would you believe that my son told me that I made him wear something to school one day last year that he did not like. Guess what he did? Yup you guessed it. He snuck a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt in his back pack and changed his clothes. Now I check their back packs before they get out of my car http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I had a Baby Alive. Her name was Baby Alive!hehehe

Oh my gosh! Wonder Twin Powers Activated Shape of an Ice Shovel form of an Eagle.

My Easter speech: I heard a bird this morning I thought I heard it say, wake up everybody. It's Happy Easter Day! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

You are the master of your own destiny!

Okay, so does anyone remember the LARGE DAISY prints of the 70s? What about playing and walking without fear? Not, hearing of the term School Massacres? What about happiness without a care in the world? What about sitting in between your mother's legs getting your hair pressed and popped with the comb because you won't stay still? What about, your hair drawing back up because it drizzled? Does anyone remember the yarn like ribbons put in your ponytails? Do you remember?

Your speech reminded me of Lil Daryl on Comic View.....Leave me alone! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Speaking of Easter speeches, what about waiting for 10 minutes for someone's two-year-old to say "Happy Easter" and having to clap for them when they didn't say anything? They'd been screaming it to anyone who'd listen all day but you couldn't pay them to say it now.

I had to bring this one back to the top...

As I was traveling this weekend, I remembered something...

How many of your parents, back in the day, when you traveled would stick a towel in the windows(literally rolling down the window to insert the towel, then roll it back up) to block the sun from burning you to death?

We did that back in the day, that was the time wayyyyyyy before tinted windows.

LOL! I remember that!

Re: Children of the 70's and 80's
 

The mid-80's for me:
The original, brown, Gherri-curled, Off the Wall Michael Jackson
Madonna - The Material Girl
Prince
MTV and music videos in general

neon/florescent charms hanging on plastic belts, bracelets and necklaces- remember those? :)
leggings and stirrups
leg warmers

Voltron
The Thundercats
SheRa

SheRa!!! Did you always find Lookie (or whatever its name was) in the episode and heard the moral at the end of each show?! lol

Who else watched Small Wonder? lol

Hi Nikki1920!
Yes, I always tried to find Lookie (or whatever its name was) but it was touch-and-go as to whether I was successful. LOL I loved the morals at the end of the show.

Was small wonder the show with Punky Brewster (or was that "Punky Brewster?" LOL)

SC

lol, no that would be Punky Brewster.. lol

Small wonder was the robot girl in the red dress with the white apron. Her name was VICKI. and i forgot what it stood for..

Oh yeah, I remember that. :)
Thanks Nikki1920,

I was born in '75, so I remember much of the 80's. I remember watching Dallas, Dynasty, and Falcon Crest with my grandma. Now Dallas and Dynasty come on Soap Net, so I get to relive "Who Shot J.R. ?" and all those good catfights on Dynasty. I wish they would put that black soap, Generations, on Soap Net. I'm tired of them showing Ryan's Hope and Port Charles all the time.

Cartoons today are not as good as the ones Hubby and I watched as children. I like Spongebob and Powerpuff Girls and Hey Arnold! but cartoons like Jem and GI Joe and He-man and She-Ra was the stuff back then!! I miss the USA Cartoon Express, too!! I thought Hubby and I were the only ones who watched that!!
