I'm a December 28th baby and there's a member here who is January 1st - twins! A Capricorn sun...no wonder your name is Stronglady. The world was overhauled when you were a year and a day old. So what do you remember about the '80's? __________________ |

60s. I grew up far away from the US so some stuff is similar and some is very different. We played board games a lot. Like chutes and ladders. One was called circus. I remember how it looked. It was cute.

1953 model here. I remember flying on an airplane across the US FROM L.A. To Kansas. It was pre-jets & had 4 engines. Going through a thunder storm one of the engines went out & they shut down the other one on the other side to balance it out....me, I was sure we wete going to crash....happy landing....no problem.
I remember the black & white tube TV before electronics....no color TV in our house till mid 60's. Party line phones were so much fun to find out what your neighbors were up to. Don't remember a lot about my childhood. School was fun & an escape from home. My mom didn't drive so had no way to do anything outside the neighborhood so school was my escape & learning was what I was sure was my way to a better life __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

Anybody here in their teens during the '70's? I was in high school between 1976 and 1981. The music was fabulous! A fascinating era.

I was 17 when I graduated high school in 70. I was into classical & symphony music so was doing my own thing during that time & studying computer science & accounting.

70s kid here, and a teen of the 80s, I grew up without central heating - all we had for heating was a gas fire in the living room. In the winter it was so cold there was frost inside the windows upstairs, that was normal back then. With the current energy crisis people are remembering it again as many can’t afford to put on their heating.
Mum made almost all my clothes as a kid, that wasn’t unusual then, I look back at the photos and smile as I remember each dress she made me including my favourite rainbow one. I wasn’t fashion conscious until my teens in the 80s when I liked to go to Top Shop and Etam. I loved roller skating too and the roller discos were my favourite. Pac-Man and space invaders were the arcade games we loved to play, this was before the consoles came out - when they did they were basic, Atari with pong, basically a dot on a screen and two goals each side! They developed pretty rapidly though and we had better games like Frogger were you had to dodge across the road. |

Skating! Not roller. I don’t know how to roller skate. Ice skating. We had huge ice skating rinks. And it was cold enough every winter for it to stay on all winter. With global warning it’s not cold all winter through. Music was playing and it was so much fun. I was never great but good enough I guess to enjoy it although I fell a lot. We went every weekend with school mates.
Also remember swimming at any weather. We grew up by the sea. Water there is almost never sufficiently warm. I got used to swimming in cold water but now I am spoiled and wouldn’t go in the water unless it’s warm hahah but we used to swim until lips were blue haha |

My mum was a whiz with clothes too. There were these home economics contests you could enter, for sewing. I was about 7-8 when mum entered one. I modeled the dress she made and got to pick out a prize. The dress was lovely and had a little purse that went with it. That was the 60’s though.
I was in high school in 75, 76, 77. Middle school 74, 73, 72. I remember vividly going back to school shopping in a larger city in 72 for my transfer to middle school. I got some edge of fashion hot pants. They looked great on me but I wore them once and got so many cat calls and whistles I never wore them to school again. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Wow we have a lot of 90s babies. I was born in 92. I turn 30 next month!!!
I loved the 90s. I was the biggest fan of the Spice Girls, loved Pokemon and had binders full of Pokemon cards, and loved most Nickolodean shows, particularly Rugrats, Wild Thornberries, and Spongebob. I also really loved Barney the Dinosaur when I was a toddler. I also had a tomagatchi and am searching for another one that I can play with since they still make them. The first movie I saw in theaters was Toy Story at age 3. |

What crushed my childhood was the death of Steve Irwin AKA The Crocodile Hunter. I still follow Bindi, his daughter who now has a daughter of her own, and her family who are still very active in wildlife conservation.
