REMEMBER WHEN.....

Deb (Martin) Orris - "remember when we had an undefeated football team? remember when we didn't have a few gray hairs and wrinkles??"

Scot Wetherald - "See The Record Herald, Sept. 1, 1999 "In Bygone Days" ,There's too many to mention, and I'm trying not to." (hopefully picture to be posted here soon)

Larry Leonard - "When we cared about only having enough money to put gas in our cars (my old 67 Ford Fairlane) and enough to go to the movies?"

Pat McKee - "Back then, we didn't trust anyone over 30. Look at us now."

Linda K. (Murray) Shearer - "Remember when the world revolved around "you and only you"?"

Steve Garver - "The only thing we worried about was not getting caught ... and we really didn't worry about that TOO much!"

Mike Brennan - "I can remember when long hair was cool & platform shoes were grovey, where has it all gone."

Teri Eyler - "Remember when 2000 seemed so far away? We were going to be SO OLD when the millenium arrived!"

Marcy (Miller) Rost - "How did we ever think we would get away with what we did without having to explain things 25 years later to our kids?"

Just in case we don't feel bad enough - read on!!
Feeling old?

Remember when..........
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo."
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and rules didn't matter.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.
Nobody was prettier than Mom.
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.
Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures.
No shopping trip was complete, unless a new toy was brought home.
"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense.
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
War was a card game.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
Ice cream was considered a basic food group. (and STILL is as far as I am concerned!!)
Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors.
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grown up" life
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!!!!!!!!
