What do you look back on and think "Wow, I haven't thought about THAT in a while. At one time that's all anyone was talking about!"?

    I remember when the word moist was the most popular word in chit chat.

    I was just talking about AIM recently, I remember how important it seemed to pick out the perfect screen name and clever away message. Remember needing an away message?

    Remember payphones? I saw one the other day and wondered if it works

    There are several along the trip back to my hometown outside gas stations. I’ve asked my boys (aged 5, 8, 9, and 13) what they thought they were, and only the oldest came close to guessing :D .

    I'm curious about some of their guesses...?

    I may be dating myself here but remember when clipping a roach clip with a feather dangling off of it into your hair was a thing?

    Oh yes. Did that in elementary school and didn't know what roach clips were until college.

    What? This is over?? Shattered..


    note to self: next time you clip a feather in your hair and twirl around in a shawl with Stevie Nicks, close the blinds.

    Transporter pads, bus stops, mail boxes, Superman’s changeroom, homeless shelters... the list went on for so many miles that I regretted asking.
