otakujack i was born in 1980. *feels inadeqate* crying 1979 gonk Couldn't enjoy much in a year... Though being out in the country for 15 years sorta helped. Ran around a lot of trees and looked out for cool birds and stuff. 3nodding But then didn't have any friends o.o; there was a creek like thingy that we had to cross to get to our house, and a rickety bridge, and i remember standing and sitting on the edge, with a whole thing of fishing like and a safety pin tied on, trying to "catch" fish whee though kinda got upset when i threw the first one in by accident... o.O;

You forgot sodas were a dime, candy bars a nickle, and movies cost fifty cents.
Wading in swamps catching snakes and playing in the woods without worrying if someone was lurking.
And cartoons weren't pg reated and cleaned-up when Daffy Duck got smacked or Wiley Coyote fell off the cliff you saw them hit!

Wow, that was cool, I feel old now, but that was cool. I would like to a** that if it rained you played with Lincoln logs, matchbox cars and hot wheels, tinker toys, and legos, and they were not in a video game format. Banana seats were cool once. GI Joes were big enough to date your sisters Barbie. And lastly family night at the drive in.

Complete with grocery bags filled with home-popped corn, done in a pan over the stove.... whee Sunday morning breakfast, special treat of Maple Bars, and real Coca-Cola, reading the funnies. xd

I wasn't allowed to drink soda pop as a kid, my dad always said that it would make me short, I'm 5'7", hate to think what would have happened if I did drink soda, lol. xp

My dad did popcorn that way, too. He passed when I was 16. Took me awhile to learn how to make it that way without burning myself.
Coca-Cola was a very rare treat in our house, maybe once every 6 - 8 mos. Usually when one of us had lost a tooth - so he could put it in a glass of the stuff and show us what happened to it... eek xp
I still don't drink much of that stuff.

I never saw what happened before, and i don't want to, lol. I live on soda right now, I'm back in college, and work full time to boot, I need corn syrup and sugar to live, lol. PS: I was looking through the pics and I thought you look a bit like Sigourney Weaver.

Welcome to the guild, Galangel.
Not sure how that whole Liv thing worked. The Steven Tyler comment is based on a comment I put into the "Do you look like someone famous" thread. One of my co-workers told me I looked like him... day before my birthday - if it hadn't been so funny, I might have cried...
