Growing up in the 70s & 80s - off topic!

[future_numan]

I wish I had a picture of myself back in the mid 80's.. I had giant blonde hair that was crimped with a black / pink / blue or whatever colour strip ( I used Cool Aid to dye it) in my hair..

I used cranberry juice and vodka before I was old enough to realize that it made a really good cocktail! Lol

We get Degrassi here in the States too...sometimes I still watch it!

hahaha.. me too.. I love the old reruns.. I didn't realize it was aired in the U.S. too.. I went to the same school with "wheels" and "Joey".. they were very popular

I don't know what's happening elsewhere, but we had to go to the mall (usually avoid them like the plague) to get something for my niece's birthday....and the 80s R BACK....all these high schoolers were walking around wearing 80s-esque clothing...

My husband just looked at me and said, "Are you experiencing a flashback right now?"

You know you're old when what you used to wear becomes 'retro'.

 

[future_numan]

hahaha.. I know.. I even went as far as to try on some stuf..
Ya..I looked better in it back in the 80's..lol.

Funny story..

Back when my oldest started Jr High..she came home all excited about the "new" band..she wanted to know if I had ever heard of them... AC/DC ... I almost passed out from laughing...

I'm going to go in hiding when the 90s become retro....spaghetti strap dresses with workboots!

I think Guitar Hero and Rock Band have a lot to do with that; DD is all about Aerosmith now, lol.

And ahhhh Joey, lol. He's on Degrassi the Next Generation too!

My best mate brought me a 'Morph' for my birthday this year, it sits on my desk and always makes me smile when I'm having a tough day

I am ashamed to say that I still have my Doc Martens..

I know Joey is on the Next Generation.. and I am proud to say I am aging better than him..lol.
