    My parents would let my brother and I walk to the store to buy them cigarettes, she would give us some money for candy if we would do this for her. I was 9 and he was 4 and we walked about 2 miles alone to get smokes !! bahahaha

    I remember when big hair was all the rave.

    I'd still have big hair if my daughters hadn't made me change lol

    Leg warmers were super fashionable, too.

    This was the special night we got frozen pizza and sat in the living room instead of at the table with a huge meal like a family.
    Oh ya how about eating at the table everynight at the sametime like a family.

    Pay phones were a dime and if you lost your money call the operator they would send you an actual dime in the mail!

    Back when.... schools were one room, and there were boys and girls outhouses....
    a quarter would buy you a bottle of pop, bag of chips, AND a chocolate bar!
    Coke machines had bottles of coke for seven cents....

    I remember holding the tape cassette player up to the TV so I could record the the latest song off of Solid Gold. It was the only way you could get the music for free.

    I loved Solid Gold.....that was the best!!!!!!1:noway: :laugh:

    Getting up to change the channels on the TV, and having to use pliers because the knob broke. LOL.

    or a toothpick when the volume knob was going, in order to prop it in the right spot so you still got the sound, LOL
