    I remember every Sunday night at 7:00 PM watching The Wonderful World Of Disney.

    I remember The Sonny & Cher show and the Donny & Marie show....dear god.

    I remember Laugh In and Dean Martin and The Gold Diggers (I planned on being one of the Gold Diggers when I grew up).

    I remember:

    - When maps at the gas station were free.
    - When hair grew where I damn well wanted it to grow.
    - When there was a difference between Democrats and Republicans.
    - Captain Kangaroo.
    - When $100 would get you a 10-year-old pickup truck, or a beat up Ford Mustang.
    - When it was considered a high crime when I...er....someone stuffed Limburger cheese in the heating vents of the principal's car. (That wouldn't get a slap on the wrist now).
    - When "Safe Sex" meant having the emergency brake on.
    - When the Rolling Stones weren't "elevator music".
    - When it was fun to vote, and I could walk outside and yell, "That's right, Senator! We're gonna get your ass now!".....and my vote counted.
    - $4.50 would get you Reserved Box Seats on the first base side.
    - .....And finally, I remember when I could remember ANYTHING that happened more than 10 minutes ago.

    I was just think how I'd like to be 9 again for a little while. I miss not being responsible for anything... Saturday morning cartoons were awesome. The Muppet Show was fantastic. Summer vacation was pure heaven.

    remember reading Tiger Beat and feeling like you were a teenager, then when you discovered Seventeen you felt so much older and mroe mature. Then you discovered Cosmo and felt silly for thinking so highly of yourself, then a year or two later realized Seventeen and Cosmo are pretty much the same thing.

    Remember holding on to the hands of two adults and swinging between them while they walked.

    Remember when there was only Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Mallrats?

    Remember your stone washed jeans were so tight you needed the zipper at the ankle so that your feet would fit though the hole.

    Remember when we were virgins?

    Remember when this thread made me kinda sad? I do it was about 10 min ago....

    Oh Oh remember The Grind on MTV??

    Oh yeah and remember when it was french fires, not freedom fries.

    Speaking of pre-K, I remember my town having:


    --Public pre-K not private


    --A record store named Crazy Rhythms (it's turned into my favorite upscale sushi place, but wish it was still my fave local record shop)


    --Not ALL THESE FUCKING SUV'S


    --No starbucks


    --No Starbucks turning into a daycare


    --No McMansions (yes...sadly, they've arrived)


    --"Old Hippies" not "New Money"


    --1/2 as many banks and upscale restaurants



    I could go on and on and I'm 22! Scary.

    Remember that Nickelodeon show called You Can't Do That On Television? People would say "I don't know" and a bunch of green slime would pour from some invisible heaven onto their heads. Were they trying to condition us to think harder rather than giving an easy answer? I like to think it worked on me.

    I remember having to push this button thing on a black box to get the antenna at my grandparents house to shift in different directions so we could watch the Canadian channels from western NY. I thought that was high technology. They also had one of those VCR remotes with a cord.

    My mom had a Beta. We only had like 4 tapes for it. The 50 lb. VHS was where it was at.
    Did anyone else have a laser disc player? My first step father had one, and got excited when Amadeus came out on laser disc. He had a computer that talked, but in very bad English. I think it was a Tandy something or other.

    I remember when a dollar was a lot of money to me. I could buy all kinds of candy or even a bottle of nail polish at the drug store (I liked the multi-colored glitter Wet & Wild). Now I will leave a dollar sitting on the stage on principle if someone gives it to me in a rude way.

    I remember when the opening sequence to Sesame Street didn't involve animation or CGI, just some kids running around the inner city alleyways drinking soda from glass bottles. I also remember doing yoga along with some long-haired hippie woman on TV every morning before Sesame Street started.

    I remember when there were no Brita water pitchers.

    Remember Popples? I had a white one with an orange tail.

    I remember thinking those Adam & Eve sex toy catalogs were porn.

    I remember being able to fit my whole body into a small bathtub without bending my knees.

    I remember feeling safe at night, like I could trust my parents and I knew that I had my best friend just two houses down the street. I knew what being "home" felt like.

    I remember when my school got color monitors for some of the computers - if you were really lucky you got to use one every once in a while. I also remember trying to program that goddamn logo turtle to draw a goddamn candy cane. Damn you Logo, damn you!

    Oh, also when I found out that root beer wasn't alchoholic, and wasn't made from roots, but that may just have been my strange childhood. I remember going to get the milk that came in glass bottles everyday in small-town New Zealand. Gosh that was cool.

    I remember slap braclets..
    I remember my first crush. He molded me into loving the same men I love today. ( tall, dark, men with a bad boy streak)
    I remember when I grew up and discovered my first crush had a terrible drug addiction that stunted his growth, made me a foot taller than him, and he had bad skin. Ihad such a picture of beauty stuck in my head that was ruined that day.

    I remember only recieving PBS and KDKA.( local news channel)

    I remember walking 5 miles to get to my friends house, and thinking nothing of it.

    I remember my very first cd. Whoomp there it is, the single. I bought it in July, in anticipation of my first cd player for chirstmas.

    I remember being IN LOVE with new kids on the block.

    I remember standing outside, envisioning my first kiss....

    I remember the butterflys in my tummy when I got my first kiss.

    I remember when my mom made me go to bed when it was still light outside, and fighting with her cause nobody shoudl go to bed when it's still light out.
    Espicially over summer break. Damn..why'd it stay light until 10pm?

    I remember my first job, I made $400 in 2 weeks, and had never, ever had $400 in my hands before. I felt rich!
