Ah yes.
We're really very nice and feminine women, ahem, but can we just say that
it's sort of--well--shall we say--scary that my brother when he was little
would tell people that he learned to burp like a man from his sister and her
friend! hahahahhaah
I suppose that this is not something that either of us should be proud of
, but then again, it totally could be worse!
Yes, my nose was already screwed up because I was learning to do a cart
wheel in our living room and flipped over, and nailed my nose on the coffee
table. First of all, you should never ever try to practice any sort of
gymnastics type of stuff on a tile floor.
No injury though compares to when Mary Ann made me break my nose though!
You just "had," to have that damn candy! hehhehhehhehhehhehehahahha!
Between my nose and my dislocated knee, I've all sorts of injuries to
remember our times together by! hehehhehhehhehehah

Hey now, that's not all, I was known for in your family when we were kids. I
was also known for being able to burp the words, "Wipe out," better than
anyone else! Hehehehheheheheh!
And I remember something about Chetos, but I think that is too incriminating
so if you remember it, Amy, no sharing it with the class okay?
BTW, go get my show from last night, you guys, if you haven't heard me talk
about how Amy damn near broke her nose when we were little because she
dropped candy on the floor. Sure, she was getting it for me and all, but
still. Heheheheheheh!

Mmmmmmmmm ribs!
See I invite you over to my house, and give you good yummy food, and what
do you do? You share it with the swimming pool! hehehahh
Yes, little Mary Ann totally dropped ribs on her shorts. they were the
big beefy ones and ya know how those can be sort of greasy...
Anyways, so our bright idea so that she could get the gunk off of her
shorts was to have her hop into the pool so that is what she did!
You know what's funny, is that my brother because he was really little
back then doesn't remember much about the times when Mary Ann was over at
our house, but everyone hands down for some reason, remembers the time
when Mary ann dropped ribs on her shorts! hehheheehhha!
Of all the things to be known for!
Ah well. It is great entertainment value for everyone else I suppose!

Knowing Amy and the weird things that happen to her, she probably ended up
falling in. Heheheheheh. Though I must admit that ending up in her pool
with
something other than a suit on, was really useful when one has dropped an
entire slab of ribs on her shorts. Um, like I, did. Hehehhahahahah!

Yay for swimming and listening to music.
Was it intentional, or was it one of those deals where whatever you were
wairing became your swim suit, as such?

That's funny! I had one of those too, and a similar memory too except
the first song that I heard on that thing was that song "Back on the
Chain Gang" by the Pretenders. Can we say let's take a little trip back
to the 80's? hehhhehehha
Mine fell into the pool and broke. I fell in with it so I think that
the demise of the radio really is not such a huge deal considering.

You guys wanna know what I had when I was little? I had this padded
headphone radio with a tuning and volume knob on one ear. They were
very
isolated and, though this was when I was like seven, I remember it
sounding
pretty damn good back then. Until I dropped the thing. Oops. But to this
day, I remember listening to the radio on the first night I got them and
hearing Michael McDonald's song, "I Keep Forgettin'." So til this day,
whenever I hear it (not that I particularly like the song very much), I
think of that old headphone radio.

Same for all that, sept I did that at age 3 by putting the tape/radio
switch in the middle for blankness.
Then there was the really neet way I had of copying stuff that lasted 1
day(s)
When I was 5, I got one of those mics that let you be on the radio.
When the mic died, which happend about 2 months later, it was still
cool because that's when the little boombox broke that could do the
fake tape
erasing thing.
So I could get myself a blank carier.
Dad took the mic apart and I got a very basic lesson in
audio/electronics.
I had a set of headphones that broke, but they had a volume slidey
thing on them.
I cut the plug off and stripped a bit of the bare wires and twisted
them where the mic part use to be.
Then I could copy stuf
that way!
Mommy saw it, and in order to make it look better, cut some of the
wires on the pcb, which broke it.
Needless to say, I went cry.

Ah. I almost forgot...
Perhaps this makes me a dork, or a bit too much of a perfectionist,
but I remember taping stuff off of the radio, and putting the stereo
on the "dub" function for like five seconds in between songs so that
there was space in between them. Mary Ann, I'd bet you did that too
since we are so much alike... *smiles*
I had vinyl and cassette tapes up until like '91 or '92. Yeah, I was
a little behind I guess...

Well even if you are a fake blond, you're still a real Amy. Aww.
I also remember the Apple 2E and using BEX as a word processor and
flipping
the disks over when it prompted you to do so. I remember playing that
Lemonade Game too. In elementary school, I also remember having tape
recorders hooked up to these computers on which kids used to learn
math and
reading skills. The computers ran off of these tape drives and I
remember
wanting to play the tapes in an audio tapedeck to see what they
sounded
like. In the late 80s, I also remember when people started getting
into
calling BBS's.
I remember watching shows like Kids Incorporated and always loving
those
little snippets between cartoons called, "One to Grow on."
I remember playing Asteroids and some boxing game on the 2600 but we
sure
didn't have tournaments. How cool that you guys did that!
All this writing without any coffee? Uh... I'm off.

Only a couple gray hairs?
You poor thing! My heart just bleeds for you! hehhehhehehhha
I am a year older than you, and I've probably got enough gray in my
hair so that I could share!
Damn my mom for giving me that little piece of wonderful from her
side of the family! *laughing* Ah well. That's what they invented
color for!
Now I can be a blond, and folks can't see the grey, and yes, we
really do have more fun--only I get to have more, because mine isn't
real.
But back to the 80's...
Wow does this make me feel ancient!
I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one that called those 976
joke numbers and the one for Santa at Christmas. Of course, I also
remember when my brother decided to play on the phone and he called a
few of the not-so-nice 976 numbers as well. I thought that our
family was going to get cut one short!
I remember how totally awesome it seemed at the time, when I was in
school and we got the Apple 2E that big huge thing with the enormous
floppies that seemed fast back then because of course I didn't know
any different, but compared to what we've got now, of course, it
really didn't do much. LOL
Cartoons aren't cool on Saturday mornings like they used to be, and I
remember my step brother and I singing along with, of all things,
School House Rock! Yes, even back then , I was really good at
getting in touch with my inner dork!

That's damn funny. But here's the thing. I remember having a
microwave very
early on in the 80s. It had one of those knobs on it. My dad also had
those
really old Tandy computers and a five-meg hard drive back in the way
early
80s. I remember there was a light switch on the wall that lead down
to the
basement where my dad had his computer and that switch was connected
to the
power down there. Well my mommy raised me to always turn off the
lights. So
well, I did. Boy was he mad when all of a sudden, the power was just,
uh,
gone when he was working.
When I was little, I had a stereo with a turntable, an eight track,
and a
cassette deck. And I could record on the eight tracks and I found
this very
amusing to record over stuff. We had these old Motorola phones where
the
part of it that found the channels would sit in the trunk of your car
and
you had to use these switches in the phone up front in order to find
channels to use on whatever network thing it was. When you picked up
the
handset, you had to flip these switches up and down and wait to hear
a voice
say things like, "Detroit, Detroit, Detroit." I will have to ask my
dad what
that thing was called.
We have video from when I was six, in 1981 and my dad tells me that
the
quality of the video from those old camcorders was really grainy back
then.
Amy and I were recently talking about how much we loved Saturday
morning
cartoons on ABC and USA. I remember when Nicalodion played cool stuff
Like
Pinwheel and Bell and Sebastian. God I loved those damn shows! That
was back
in the days of, "You Can't Do That on Television." Then, promptly at
8 PM,
Nicolodian was off the air.
I remember when Friday night prime time TV meant watching Benson and
Webster! And Tuesday night prime time TV meant watching Happy Days
and
Three's
Company.
I remember calling the Joke of the Day 1 (976) numbers and at
Christmas
time, calling Santa every morning. I vaguely remember when calling
the time
meant calling something with GR, in it.
I had one of those cool medal lunch boxes with the little medal ring
thing
you swung down over your stuff to keep it from moving.
You can have some fun and go down old 80s memory lanes by visiting
the
following site.
http://www.inthe80s.com/
And now, I will resume my transcription and pull out the few gray
hairs that
have shown themselves over the past few months. I will also cry at
how old I
now officially feel. And I'm, only, thirty, two! AAAAH!

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were
growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school
every morning .... uphill
BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was
no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on
kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that...
I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a
letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across
the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and
the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone
rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your
mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent,
you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked ass!
Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your
imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and
harder
and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you
were just screwed!
Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You
had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was
no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for
cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that!
If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and
shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it
too
easy. You're spoiled.
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970's or 80's
