I remember these times...and miss them so much!!

Before the Internet or Text messaging...
Before the shots and joints
Before Sidekicks & Ipods
Before Playstation2 or X-BOX
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...
When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie...
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!

***Way back...

Tag
I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk!
Red light, Green light!
Heads up 7 up!
Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Hopskotch!
Mother May I?
Red Rover
four square
Hula Hoops
Running through the sprinkler
Happy Meals where u chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car


***Wait...

Who could forget Snick?!
& Nick at Nite! with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Facts of Life & I Love Lucy!
& Everyone wanted to be in love after watching THE WONDER YEARS!


***Not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When getting high was swinging on the swingset
When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.
When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"


***Go back to the time when...

Nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25 & called & paid to watch music videos!!!!
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The chance to couple skate at Skate City was like winning the lottery....
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. LOL!!!
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.


If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!
