For years all we had was a rotary antenna. My Dad would come and put tin foil on the one in my room cause the main antenna was only attached to one television. I grew up watching soap operas cause that's all that was ever on my 2 channels.1 -

Way before cds, we use to have a vinyl, and video/tape cassettes. Remember when I liked a song on the radio I would wait till the dj shut his mouth so I could record the song.
Sadly some of the new generation never even seen what a video/tape cassettes look like. I. Have a whole stash somewhere, I think I should sell it as retro collection. Might make something :=)1 -

Crazy bones, anyone remember those?
I still have a scare on the back of my head from sliding down the stair banister and splitting my head open.

Played sports all the time. Basketball outside in the winter with a net mounted on a telephone pole under a streetlight. Rode my Schwinn all over. 26" no gears, no hands. Stickball at the elementary school with a strike zone painted on the wall. Softball at the little league field. I had an uncle who lived across the street. He could whistle so loud that you could hear him anywhere and it was the signal to come home. Marathon pinnacle games with friends and their parents. Summers at the Jersey Shore - body surfing, fishing crabbing, going to the boardwalk at night.1

I remember before we had mobile phones since it was expensive, pager was the stuff. Thinking about it, the mobile phone use to have a 3'' green screen. In 25+years look how things changed. I guess seeing the change makes you cherish the old stuff since that is where it all began.0

I had a black Space Invaders bicycle as a kid but had no idea what space invaders was until later. This black bicycle was Zorro's horse Tornado to me. I rode it around with a transistor radio antenna shoved through my belt and drew Z's on everything I could think of. I can't remember how many ladies or peasants I saved.1

Aurora slot cars! You could buy stuff at the hobby shop to make them go faster. Silver contacts, special armature motors, sponge slicks.0

Climbing way up a tree in the front yard, & falling down. Dad comes to the rescue.
When my parents would hit the garage door button, as the door would go up, I would grab & hang on the door as it lifted me in the air a couple times.
I was facinated with Sally Field in The Flying Nun. I made myself a lame little hat. And would jump off the brick flowerbed area. And wondered why I couldn't fly like she did.

jnco jeans.... I thought they looked ridiculous but all the rocker boys wore them right before the skinny jean came into effect in high school. That super gelled down pony tail with the two slicked strands on either side of your face like mentioned earlier, yep. Tamagotchi, yep. Ferby!? Lindsey Lohan vs Hillary Duff. Backstreet boys Vs NSYNC. MASH the game that was really a ploy for your friends to know which boys you liked at school. Gel pens. Me and my whole family collected Pokemon cards. Beanie babies were big at some point.1

Living in a smallish town and riding my bike all over the place
swimming in the lake
water skiing on Sundays after church with family friends that had a boat
going to the drive in movies with my dad to watch kung fu movies
sneaking out of bed late at night to watch MASH with my dad and falling asleep in his lap
my own paper route at the age of 10 and I could just do it by foot or on my bike
getting up to turn a dial on the t.v. to change the channel...also adjusting the bunny ears as necessary
destroying my dad at Pac Man on our Atari 2600 and instead of cursing he'd always say, "Goodnight Nurse" for some reason...
Riding in the back of my uncle's pick-up truck
watching Happy Days with the family while we ate t.v. dinners that were heated in the oven because microwaves were a novelty that only wealthy people could own...
Going to the video store with dad on Fridays after work to rent movies...and to rent a VCR that was about the size of a grand piano....
Helping my dad mow the lawn (we had a huge yard that took hours) and him giving me just a tiny bit of his Coors Light afterwards while we sat on the patio grilling burgers for dinner on beautiful summer evenings.
Wearing short cut off shorts...
wearing parachute pants all day, every day
