I remember when cigarette commercials aired on TV. I remember when smoking was allowed on commercial airlines. I remember when school chalkboards transitioned to whiteboards. I remember when it was trendy for girls to gather their t-shirt and tie a knot at the bottom. I remember when crimped bangs were really cool. I remember when credit cards were carbon-copied.

    I'm 18 and I can still remember having smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants. I also remember the days before DVR or TiVo, when you had to actually tape things on Tv. I also remember when DVDs became really popular.

    I can remember when candy bars were a nickel. When it cost 4 cents to mail a letter. When stores closed on Sunday. When as a kid I could go out first thing in the morning and not come home till dinner time and my folks never worried.

    I remember: when SNL was funny, when MNF had Howard & Dandy Don (turn out the lights), when Sat morn was the only time to really get cartoons, when you had to wait for the TV to "warm up", New Coke, Crystal Pepsi, the Miracle on Ice, East & West Germany, The Donnie & Marie show, CHiPs, Dukes of Hazard, Battle Star Galactica (the original), Hee Haw (my dad watched it so I watched it by default as we only had 1 TV in the house), Pintos, playing football in the neighborhood instead of sitting on your *kitten* playing video games, Atari, floppy disks, slap bracelets, parachute pants, Friday Night Videos.......
