Remember When...
 

Joe released singles/albums instead of just singing hooks on G-Unit songs

Blackplanet was an addiction...now its a mini porno site


continue:D

When McDonald's was a place you were pressed to eat at. Now the food is sub-par (at least to me it is)

When BET had Video Soul w/ Donnie Simpson, Teen Summit, and other QUALITY PROGRAMMING. Since Johnson sold it, I have no interest in the nonsense they broadcast. It's just pure Bufoonery!

playing hide and seek

spin the bottle

house

when kids had respect for their elders...

when parents didn't get mad that someone told them about their child cuttin a fool...

when you could get a twin pop from the ice cream man for a quarter!!!!

Remember when...
 

... a 13 yr. old pregnant girl would raise eyebrows.

...you would get your girls together and double-dutch. Do little girls double-dutch anymore? :(

...you never saw thugs attending classes on a college campus. :eek: Now you have dudes trying to bring "white tees" into the halls of academia.

Re: Remember when...
 

Yep, but rarely. We have a double dutch club at my church that competes in competitions.

Remember when

It only cost $2-3 to get into the movies?

Hanging out at the mall was the thing - and no one worried about gettin' shot or arrested?

If you got into a fit-to-cuff as a kid and won, noone pulled out a blade, or brought a gun to school for revenge? They just realized they were gonna get clowned for gettin' their butts whooped?

and

Remember when your parents would tell you ..."if you loose a fight at school, I'mma beat your butt when you get back home (as if the 1st butt whoppin' wasn't humilating enough???)" (***wait - was I the only one whose mama said that??)

Re: Remember when...
 

*sigh*

...when reality tv shows were exciting...now they are rampant!
....when women wore clothes in videos
...you didn't have to ask a man if he slept with men and then be paranoid that he's lying.

Man, I used to think McDonalds was the bees knees in high school. Ur right, it is sub-par. I used to watch teen summit too! I loved that show. BET has gone to hell in a handbasket.

...when all you worried about was what kind of lunchbox your mama would buy you for school

...you got upset if she packed you the wrong sandwich (you wanted pb&j and she made ham and cheese:D )

...recess after lunch?!?!

(BTW, I'd like to introduce myself as MsSweetness. Not sure if I have ever posted on this board)

Cosby Show was must see TV
Pay Phones cost a dime.
Atari was the hippest thing out there
Jordache Jeans was the bomb.

The running man was in style
every body had a jheri curl.

when slap bracelets and friendship bracelets were in style....

when every girl you knew had a crush on Garfield from Shai....
(**flashback**)

when you would sign your friends' yearbooks in middle/high school with things like Sorry So Sloppy, and Books Before Boys Because Boys Bring Babies (or was that just a Miami thing?)....

when gas was 99 cents a gallon...

99 cents a gallon for gas. Those were the days. I wonder when gas prices will go down again?

Oooh, I used to love those things! I had a slap bracelet in almost every color!

When 5 bucks would fill my gas tank to half and get me through the week. :(

Diahann Carroll was the first black "bitch" on Dynasty.
JR got shot
Knots Landing was the best nighttime soap on TV
Dallas try to make the whole world believe one season was a dream. .:rolleyes:
*********************
pretending to smoke "play" cigarettes
eating lemonhead, boston baked beans
wearing your candy necklace and eating it.
fun dip lik m - i would eat the stick before the kool-aid powder ran out.

JJ got shot on Good Times
Dewayne wayne and Whitley feel in love
and
Sat Morning Cartoons like
"HEY HEY HEY IT"S FAT ALBERT!!!
"Gape Ape
and the Superfriends!!!
Stuff just made more sense back then:p :D :confused:

ahhh..the memories
 

..I had to get home Thursdays @ 8 to watch the Cosby Show
..couldn't miss A Different World or Martin
..Saturday mornings were all about NBC with great cartoons and Saved by the Bell..[yes, sad to admit, but I was in love with Zack!]
..[in my small town] you had to have a new pair of Reebok Classics
..TV was interesting..now it's all the same..very boring
..you had to have a pair of stonewashed jeans and the coat to match if you had it like that:)

those were the days.....LOL!

JJ got shot - when? I never knew that? Damn, Damn, Damn.

Soror, You Crazy:D

Remember when....
~ Trouble T-Roy died :( (one of Heavy D's dancers)
~ When rappers rhymed about black consciousness(sp)
~ When those pajama-looking baseball jerseys/sets were worn outside

How about when Scott La Rock (Boogie Down Productions) was killed? :(

I remember that. So sad. :( :(

Shot
 

...Marvin Gaye got shot? I cried like a baby. Not because I was a fan - I was only a little girl. But because I couldn't believe his father shot him.

...President Reagan got shot? Again, I was a little girl, but I was shocked. They pulled us all into a room to watch the nescast in school.

...The space shuttle took off...up.... up and ..... blew up? Again I was like :eek:

... we listened to our parents old vinyl records & that crackly sound it made? i.e. Peaches & Herb, Parliament :o ...


....and speaking of Parliament, remember when every body was saying "a ga ga goo ga, a ga ga goo ga, a ga ga goo ga ga"... songs made so much sense back then. ;)

Re: Shot
 

I thought it was some sick April Fool's Joke until I saw it on news. I don't know what shocked me the most - 1) he died the day before his birthday, 2) he died on April Fool's Day or 3) his father shot him.

...when Greek Life was respected by Non-Greeks?

When teachers were respected by students and parents

When schools were safe

when pray was welcome in schools

Remember When...
 

we used to record songs off the radio?

we could never stop the tape fast enough and always ended up getting the DJ's voice at the end of the song?

we used to rewind tapes just a little so the tape didn't sound so "homemade"?

we used to share tapes with our friends at school - "Yo listen to this - this joint is HOT!"

the tapes would pop, twist, or ravel brown tape all in your recorder?:(

we used to wear name belts (they came back in style)?

(those in the band) we used to sit down and tried to figure out the notes to the songs so we could play them on game night?

(girls) we would write down the words to songs and pass them on to friends, or write silly letters using song names?

. . . you'd play Chinese Jumprope (a long connected circle "rope" made of large rubber bands that you'd have to perform certain jumps in a pattern to make it to the next level -- move it up on your legs -- I was pretty good, I remember making it to the waist) with your friends?

. . . hot sausages (the red ones) you'd get from the park or "ice cream man" after cheerleading practice?

Remember when you could actually "battle" by dancing?

-when guys used to get haircuts with their names in the back of their heads?

God I remember Video Soul....I used to love the countdown....

-when every song on the radio was not about having sex...remember Candy Girl? We got our thang? to name a few...

Re: Re: Shot
 

I know! Nobody believed me when I told them. They thought I was April fooling because I was always joking.

I remember when $10.00 would fill my gas tank!!!

SAY IT AGAIN SOROR!!!!

Re: Remember When...
 

FLASH BACKS!! I use to have so many mixtapes! lol
