I remember having a mock election for Ronald Reagan.


I was in kindergarten in 80, so I went all through school in the 80's.

I remember the shuttle explosion too. And chernoble blowing up, and the terrorists shooting up the airport in Vienna the day after I was there.

I remember the shuttle explosion - we were watching in class when the tv broadcast just ended

I remember long bus trips and singing along to all the great songs while in elementary school.

uhh, hmnn... after having 4 kids, everything's been fuzzy and
probably a good idea NOT remembering a lot from the 80s

[amberella]

Ya know... with all this 80s theme stuff... I feel a little ... out of place... cause I was only around for 8 months of the 80's. :P

Then maybe, in the vague reaches of your brain, you remember a warm bottle? lol

perfect!

Just don't advertise your age too much - some of us are old and don't like being reminded

Both very good points!

However, you've also got wisdom and experience that I don't... I think it's a trade off...

And I guess I probably remember my baby blanket... mostly cause i still have it :P
