We would ride our bikes in the street or go visit friends until all hours1
-
I remember walking to a boyfriends house with my friends in my pjs (it was a pj party) without fear of being assaulted or kidnapped or any of the things I now fear2
-
I would just be outside, and my mom wouldn't necessarily know where I was.2
-
Video stores were the best! Renting original Nintendo too!1
-
Yeah!
And travelling suppers. A whole group of us would walk through the streets at night going from house to house for the different courses. Singing at the top of our lungs and setting off all the dogs in a two block radius! Good times1 -
I never did that, although it sounds pretty awesome.1

We used AOL chat rooms? “A/S/L”
We used to run home to catch TRL and 106 and park.
We used to look forward to Friday’s for the TGIF prime time shows.0 -
Family Matters!1
-
Yeah! And we (that is to say, I) had to go to an Internet Cafe for said chat rooms because my parents wouldn't let me use their dial up modem for anything except email!0

I thought it was great when we got a VCR I could set to record later. Cassette single of DJ Jazzy Jeff of Boom Shake the Room!0 -
I remember having £10 in my pocket, managing to go out, get drunk, get in a club and still have enough left to get me some of the way home in a taxi - watching the meter and yelling "stop!!" before it got too much. Can't do that any more <old>4

Yeah. Money went much further those days0

All that is especially fun as a 10 year old!

Haha, I had a baby face too, so I also remember getting the bus into town on a child fare then being shocked that they wouldn't let me into the club0

I still have a baby face if I go no beard. I look way younger.0

38, we have 'think 21' over here and unfortunately I cannot pass for under 21 <sigh>0 -
I remember going to my family's cabin in East Texas and stopping by the local VHS shop to pick up some movies every time!1
