I found this on myspace, it took me way back and gave me a laugh, mostly at myself for i have either done, or remember all things listed here


Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

That brought back a lot of memories.



Few of them good.
:D

I remember vaguely half those things...I was born in 91 and I didn't pay much attention to the new crap until it was time for me to pay attention to it....I personally like the new century better than the old one...

That stuff is classic. Im a ninety two boy and bar a couple of the tv shows almost all of these I cant relate to.

goosebumps was my favourite, the best ones were the ones where you could choose your own ending lol

yeah they were so fun

God.
I remember entirely too much of that rubbish.

I was born in '89 and I remember a LOT of that stuff... Wow... I've gone all nostalgic.

Dear God, that was creepy. I guess that makes me 90's for life...

1991 for me.

A lot of that is still new school too me. I am an 80 queen. Although some of those did aplly.
(1984)

I'm afraid I'm from the 80s decade.

The decade of true music T'Pau Heart, Marillion, Berlin, Warrant, Stevie nicks, True girl band Bananarama and the Bangles, Classic Goth The Mission The Cult, Fields of the Nephilim, other music The who, cyndi lauper bonnie tyler reo speedwagon starship eric clapton, Bryan adams, Vixen, starky, need i go on so many. the talent was imence what came after the 80s was nothing to what happened in the 80s

Cloths the styles
cartoons
we tuned in to watch Transformers How would Optimus Prime defeat Megatron then we mourned Optimus's death in the movie but praise as Rodimus Prime took on the Power of the Matrix

GI Joe we'd watch general hawk defeat cobra.

Defenders of the earth

Starcom

starfleet remember the big red robot.

The whole era was the best. Nothing will ever replace those 10 wonderful years.
Born in the 70s grow up in the 80s




~Raven.

Awwww...!

I remember reading this on Facebook.

It DOES bring back many memories, almost makes me want to go back....NOT.

Hehe.

(Born in '91)

I'm from 84 and remember too many of those things......oh the childhood memories I longed to forget....(more for the embarressment lol) my little brother who was on 86 has got quite a few goosebumps books and they still are in his room where they shal forever remain (I HOPE) lol, but yes I too read some of them, the things one does in younger times to beat the boredom and to keep other s happy....and the ninja turtles were awesome and aparently there is a new movie coming out that I will be sure to watch :D:D:D lol
But you have to admit that someof the cartoons these days are far better than those back in them days, although some of the older ones are far better than those of today

~Torana

you want nostalgia?... here's mine... guess what decade:

washing machines with a wringer

listening to stories on the radio

78rpm 'mono' records

3-for-a-nickel/dime juke boxes

double feature movies on saturday, for a quarter

drug store lunch counters with 'hand-made' vanilla, lime or cherry cokes for a nickel

wartime 'coupons' needed to buy groceries

...so, do you kids still feel 'old' reminiscing about the 90s???... ;-)

love and hugs, great-granny

Lol.. Well quite a bit on that list applied to me and I was born in 1990, it's suprising how many memories reading that did actually bring back to me though :)

im an 86 baby, and all of those that i posted apply to me, and the scary thing is that i thought i was soooooooooooooooo cool

WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING.

Represent.
Sometimes a body gets to missing the third grade.

What about Gak? No one mentioned Gak! They don't make it anymore...so sad. I tried to buy some a month or so ago, when I realized it no longer existed. So sad.

(Born in 1990)

kit and coral... i'm assuming you didn't mean my list! ;-)

Actually Maia I know of those washing machines and makes me appreciate my front loader washing machine all the more ^_^ Praise technology and the comforrts it has given us lol well they make life easier, although hand washing isn't all that hard, done that for a few months before and was a constant thing with a new born and a toddler.....it was never ending.

~Torana

kit and coral... i'm assuming you didn't mean my list! ;-)

Haha no I didn't... :D

although hand washing isn't all that hard, done that for a few months before and was a constant thing with a new born and a toddler.....it was never ending

not hard?... maybe not if you have strong arms/hands and no back problems from being pg for 2 yrs... i had to do it myself for my first 2 of 7 and that was when diapers had to be washed!... plus, we couldn't afford rubber gloves and the clorox needed to sanitize 'em did wonders for my hands and arms to the elbows...

ah, 'the good old days'!

Yeah I actually enjoyed hand washing and yes Maia I had to wash cloth nappies also, I used them as well as disposable nappies.

I know it may sound strange to some people, but doing a little manual labour is really satifying for me and even now I still hand wash some of my clothing.

Maia I have got a very bad back actually, and am in constant pain from it through an old injury I sustained from horse riding. But at least I know that the whole time I am in pain that I am alive :) there is a positive to all situations if you dare to look for one. (well that is my opinion anyways)

~Torana

I remember most of the above too. Especially the Kimberly and Tommy bit. I used to sit down every day when my daughter was born and watch that. How daft am I?
And washing machines? I too have had bleeding fingers from hand washing. Our house came with it's own mangle when we bought it and it has been used many a time to break buttons.:)

kit and coral... i'm assuming you didn't mean my list! ;-)

no i wasnt reffering to your list either maia, but i have to agree that those times were alot harder, difficult than the era when most of us were brought into the world, but i myself would have loved to have lived in those days, when you actually had to work to acomplish something, when not everything was handed to you, and a penny bought you a pie, and icecream and a soda and you had change left over....

Lol Betwitched wasn't in the Ninties was it?

It was 60s,70s or 80s, surely

Ah yes, the good old Saturday cartoons!
Bring em back!:mad:

and a penny bought you a pie, and icecream and a soda and you had change left over

sorry, coral, but that was never the case, even way back in the dark ages when i was a kid... nor before that, sorry to say... and how could one have change left, from a 'penny'?... ;-)

in the uk, you could, with a 'ha'penny'... but not in the us, where a penny was/is the smallest piece of money... nit-picking aside, like you, i do wish some things were 'less easy' now and more like it was then... but, speaking as a mom who had to raise 7 kids, not laundry!!!

I want to live in the nineties again. Imagine, kids actually wanted to go running around outside and you could run arount outside without too much fear. There were a lot less overweight kids. I think I was happier as a kid rather than a teen that wanted to watch tv or play playstation. As A kid that grew up in the ninties, I didn't have to think about what was going to happen, didn't have to wonder when, not if, the water was going to dry up. I had freedom. That's what i liked about the ninties.

And Gak! I loved gak! I still have some plastered to my roof from when I was a kid! lmao!

Oh and power rangers! and beanie babies!

when i said penny i was just using it as an example, if you want details then i was actually referring to how my mother used to be able to buy a pie, and icecream and a soda with 2 cents and have change left over..i dont know how slang terms are in other parts of the world, but sometimes in aus we like to call very small amounts of change 'pennies'

i remember running around with a plastic laundry basket attached to my back and a big stick playin ninja turtles. or me and my friends would get those gigantic lolly rings and play captain planet...... hmmmmm

Captain Planet! Ha! I used to like the rebal fire guy and thought Captain Planet was pretty darn cute. Until they redrew the cartoon! I loved it! And I too used to play with laundry basket and also jumping on the trampaline. Awsome fun. And lackey guns- my brother and his mate used to make them out of pieces of wood and shoelaces. They also dug up half our back yard into a trench. It was wicked fun!

buy a pie, and icecream and a soda with 2 cents and have change left over..

holy cow!... when/where was that?... i can't even imagine that in third world countries...

i dont know how slang terms are in other parts of the world, but sometimes in aus we like to call very small amounts of change 'pennies'

...so do we... so, if she got all that for '2 cents' and got change, then did all of that actually cost just one cent, or did they have 'half' or 'quarter' cents back then?... i'm not being argumentative, btw... just curious as all get out...

hugs, m

ill take a raincheck on that one

we used to make whoopee guns out of a 5 inch piece of hose and the finger of a rubber glove, then we would get a hand full of rocks and run around the bush shooting each other with them..yeah it hurt but we did it anyway...
kids are fearless..damn i miss those days..no worries, no cares, no ties..just pure innocence..

Oh geez. I'm gonna have nightmares about my brother having one of those things and chasing me with it! ACK!

hahahah..aww it wasnt that bad..a few bruises and a bung eye!
