This is my diary. THings I remember....

Cabbage Patch Kids-I made my mom go to the store and stand in line.

Qbert-The game

Rubicks Cube

Xanadu

Madonna wear-YOu know the lace gloves, black rubber bracelets and the hot pink bows on the hair. It all looked lovely with my Catholic school uniform.

PacMan gifts at Pizza Hut

Small Smurf collectibles

Cartoons-Shirt Tales, Rubick's cube, Menudo on ABC (the 2 minute educational songs)

Silver Spoons and Webster Sitcom

Last but not least-THE HAIR POOF,you know, the one we all had. It started out as spikes and it turned into a bush of small hair at the top of our heads. Very very pretty specially when teased!

Conjunction junction...what's your function...

Anybody else remember Schoolhouse rock?
Green stamps?
Getting a gift when you got a full tank of gas at a gas station?

Sitting in a very long line of cars during the gas crisis with my mom and brothers. We had a station wagon and my brothers and I would use the waiting time to think of new ways to torture each other.

BTW, I had the "Farrah" haircut when I was in 7th and 8th grade. I had to wake up early every morning to convince my hair to flip into "wings" with a curling iron. I had VERY stubborn hair.

Danzdol...you're a wee youngster. All that stuff you remember happened after I graduated from HS (or it seems like it anyway).

Do you remember when people used to work for the same company for 40 years and got a great retirement and benefits and profit sharing and their employers cared about them almost like a family?

What happened?

Xanadu was the first movie I ever saw on HBO...of course we didn't have cable, a girlfriend of mine had just gotten it and invited me to come spend the night.

One of my favorite things was getting a tshirt from the tshirt store. One of those white baseball shirts with colored sleeves, my name on the back and some other iron-on saying or something on front. Remember bird shirts and bull shirts and the ones that said "I'm the Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised"?

I loved my Jordache jeans!

Yesterday was my 5 year anniversary at my job. The longest I've ever stayed at a company.

Whoo Hoo! A new record for me. Now that I set that record, I think it's time for me to quit, so I can break it at another company.

I got one... anyone remember turning on the cassette player, going to dinner, and hoping your game would be loaded when you returned???

Or how about 300 baud modems (with coupler)?

(note... you know what scares me -- in 10 more years we'll be doing this same kind of list and one of things will be... remember the USSR???)

The incredible space of a 20 MEG hard drive... for a week. :)

I will never forget saying to some guy who was being selective as to what he put on his 20 meg HD - you have 20 MEG!!!! LOL I remember 6 months later stressing when I only had 20 meg LEFT :)

Now if I get under a gig left I stress :)
