    When roller skates had 2 wheels in the front and 2 wheels in the back... and they were made out of metal. You were really cool if you have about 5 pom poms tied to each skate!

    How many remember when you had to get up and change the channel on the TV. :laugh:

    In my house the remote was slapping the nearest kid in the head and telling him the channel you wanted.

    I had huge pompoms with bells on mine! I still love rollerskating. Every town we live in I look for a skating rink and usually there is 1 and but it's old and run down somewhere. So sad! I would love to take my kids rollerskating. I was a roller QUEEN when I was a kid! LOL

    you owned one of those purse bags with the wooden handle and the outside was interchangeable. You were super cool if the wooden handles were smaller and the outside material was plaid.

    you matched your shoe laces to your belt and hair clips, and possibly lip gloss tote

    you wore your polo type shirt collar up under a button down

    you made big hair with hair spray and a dryer in high school

    you forgot the pick comb to "rat" out the hair...LMAO...I did that for a very long time...
