I [ well, body ] was born 1978.

I think, technically, Carter was president (?), but I associate Regan as my “first president”.

I remember my friend and I putting on leotards, laying out blankets as “mats”, and following along with my mom’s Jane Fonda workout videos (VHS, of course).

Same friend and I would choreograph dances to Tiffany and Madonna.

I turned the channels on our tv with a knob, and turned a dial sitting on the shelf next to the tv to orient the aerial antenna to achieve the best reception for each of our 13 channels.

I enjoyed 3-2-1 Contact and Get Smart, and I would pretend to sleep on a bunch of pillows at my mom’s feet when I was actually following Dallas and Dynasty right along with her. [ Spoiler alert: J.R. was shot by his former mistress. ]

My favorite color was neon anything.

I wasn’t into dolls - but made an exception for Cabbage Patch Kids.

I played with Lincoln Logs and G.I. Joe action figures; Light-Brite and my Easy-Bake Oven.

I remember my first computer, the Apple IIse, The Oregon Trail, and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.

I remember the Challenger catastrophe.

Any of these ring bells for anyone?

TY for starting this thread, @*Beth* - it’s fun. Fun is good; refreshing.

Carter, dear and lovely man that he is, was pres. But, yeah, you'd remember Ray-guns.

Yup! Her vids were enormously popular. Just not with me. Well, I was a bit young for them.

That sounds like fun

I turned the channels on our tv with a knob, and turned a dial sitting on the shelf next to the tv to orient the aerial antenna to achieve the best reception for each of our 13 channels.

Ahhh, those were the days, my friend. No hassling with all sorts of stuff that keeps not working.

I enjoyed 3-2-1 Contact and Get Smart, and I would pretend to sleep on a bunch of pillows at my mom’s feet when I was actually following Dallas and Dynasty right along with her. [ Spoiler alert: J.R. was shot by his former mistress. ]

Oh, my little daughter (b. 1985) refused to wear anything for a lonnng time but her neon-green crop shirt. Ugh, the thing was falling to pieces by the time she finally relented.

I wasn’t into dolls - but made an exception for Cabbage Patch Kids.

But of course Cabbage Patch Kids have popped up a lot in this thread.

I played with Lincoln Logs and G.I. Joe action figures; Light-Brite and my Easy-Bake Oven.

Fun, fun toys!

I remember my first computer, the Apple IIse, The Oregon Trail, and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.

Did you love them?

I remember the Challenger catastrophe.

What a tragedy. I'm sorry your young mind has that memory.

Any of these ring bells for anyone?

Most do for me! Just in a different age context.

TY for starting this thread, @*Beth* - it’s fun. Fun is good; refreshing.

You're very welcome, lS
