Great stuff!
I definitely am a child of the 80's even though we didn't get all of those things here in Finland back then... Most of them though...
I really am a child of the 70's but I was still young and I was having my babies in the 80's so I did or the kids did most of the things you mention!
I am glad to see that you enjoyed it. I must say I do identify with many of them.
"You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair"
I *crocheted* myself a pair of leg warmers! LOL
This was too good! Thanks for the memories!!
