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!

... 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.

Now you have dudes trying to bring "white tees" into the halls of academia.

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??)

*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

)

...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?

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. .
