Where were you in 82?

[imperfect]

Ok, since most of the CARATS said they weren't born in 72 which actually means they aren't CARATS...then were you in 82?
What do you recall from that year?

[AshleeDru]

then were you in 82?
In the womb. :D






oops! Ya caught me in the old people forum! :eek:

[msscarlet82]

In the womb. :D






oops! Ya caught me in the old people forum! :eek:

I was in utero and *poof* appeared on the world scene screaming my guts out. I guess I was born to be a rocker! :D

[prayercloth sis]

My junior year in high school and having a blast!!!!


Rhonie

[wbthornton]

Nah, Rhonie, we were beginning our senior year in high school ;)

I'm soooooooooooooo glad I'm not in HS anymore :rolleyes: ;)

[Weebie]

1982. Gee, I was 13, in 8th grade. Yep...that makes me an official CARAT. ;) I can't remember much about what was going on in the world, but I do remember that was a great summer at church camp! Lots happened that year. My first boy/girl party, first school dance, my first boyfriend...

[onaree]

I was 8 years old. Probably watching cartoons in the afternoon aftering going to school all day. I remember watching all kinds of educational PBS TV in school. Spelling and Multiplication Table tests every Friday. Whizzing through the SRA Reading books faster than anyone else in my class. Jump rope and teeter totters and recess. Ah, those were the days.

[rhjanes]

Working at LTV / Vought in Grand Prarie Texas. Used to walk over and see the leading wing edge and nose caps being built for the space shuttle. Sat there and watched the first one fly. Living in a apartment or maybe my first house.

[Thomas508]

I was a sophmore in high school listening to Heavy Metal music and thinking I knew everything!!
Boy was I dumb!!
:rolleyes:

Billy T

[rossid]

Similar to Thomas, I was in high school, somewhere between tenth and eleventh grade. Starting to party and finally got rid of my bowl cut. Listening to punk rock music.

:D

[tristen]

I was in 4th and 5th grade and had the whole world to look forward to! The thing I remember the most is how the littlest things would seem so devestating. A boy not liking me....a B on a test....my how things have changed! :D :rolleyes:

[prayercloth sis]

Nah, Rhonie, we were beginning our senior year in high school ;)

You are sooooo right!!!!!

I was so tired from helping my son with homework. They start on it after a snack and for the past 3 weeks at least one or the other has been up until 11 or 12 doing all the assignments. Keep us in your prayers.

I loved High School especially my JR and Sr year. I was in Pep Squad and on the drum line, also an officer of the Pep Squad. We had so much fun on the buses going to away games. Still love football.

I recently went to Classmates and signed up to chat with all my old friends. I was so excited, but I have not recieved many messages!!

Everyone is so busy, it's hard to stay in touch.

I was blessed to go from Kindergarten through High School with classmates, we are like a big family.

I am really enjoying watching my children make memories of their own!!!!

How many of you were going to rock-n-roll concerts?

Loverboy, ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, Journey, Bryan Adams, Heart, Ozzie Osborn (only one), Kansas, Bob Seger (The best), listen to the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd (never tried to spell their name before), I also went to see Alabama, and Bocephus(Hank Jr), and more. Just love music...Wish there would have been a "Third Day" back then.

God has been so good to me!!!

God Bless

[wbthornton]

Unfortunately there is only one high school friend that I still keep tabs on. The two of us can IM anytime, so it's not that hard. Neither of us live in the town that we grew up in.

My wife was class of '83 too, but I now live where she grew up. I know a lot more of her classmates than I do my own.

Funny story. I sang with a group a few years ago. As it turns out, every member graduated in 1983......all from different schools. ;)

[prayercloth sis]

Led Zepplin...does anyone remember the name of the song that says........ "when the mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me.. So today my world it smiles, your hand in mine we walk the miles, thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only, only one" ..I think that it's off the 4 (photo of a bundle of sticks) album?????

Rhonie

Loved..... Boston too!!!!

[Little Diva]

Ok I know i'm not a CARAT yet but i have my training wheels on 3 years to go then they come off :eek: . I was 4 in '82 so i was just finishing playgroup (kindergarten) and starting at primary school :eek:

[RevZeek]

I was just starting to toddle around and get into anything and everything :D ....amazing how little has changed! :p

[ayfan]

lets see.....in 1982, I was quite the busy girl! Hanging off the chandelier at my grammas house, climbing up the bookshelves, and riding horses with my guy, Ernie :p . it was quite the life! :D

[wbthornton]

What kind of music did you play and sing? That's pretty cool!!!We sang Gaithers stuff, 4Him, Phillips, Craig and Dean plus some traditional stuff. You can't get too out of hand in churches around here. :rolleyes:

Hey we're just aging like fine wine!!!!

It just keeps geting better.

Rhonie
LOL....that's what I hear anyway ;)

[sirlok]

1982...I was 9 and broke my right arm that year...my mom worked up the strentgh to run away from my VERY abusive father(he used to beat us up really bad and tell my brothers and me he was going to kill my mom and I think I need to stop writing now) I suppose the pain never really goes away! I bacame a really heavy drinker during my teen years thinking it would dull the pain I went through with my dad and step-dad and it never went away until I gave my life to the Lord at 19. The Lord has taken that painful sting I used to feel when I would remember my early years...AnyHow! We Ran away and headed to Fresno, Ca. for about a year.
Well, too many Bad memories I suppose is all I could remember.

I went to my first concert then it was Def Leppard soon followed by Loverboy then any major rock show that came to Chattanooga or Atlanta, some in both places. I love music too but looking back I don't think I was ready for a Third Day then I was too busy partying! but then again maybe if I had heard some cool Christian music things would have been different!

God has been so good to me too and I know I don't deserve it but he sent his son to die for me!! Thats Amazing!!

[msscarlet82]

Me in '83. :D Cute as can be. :p

[kiwisongbird]

1982, mmmmm ... I would have been about how old?? mmm, let me think...oh, 24.... well then, I was into The Cramps, and The Cure and lots of other bands with the in front of them - The Clash - I was in a band and we used to drink loads of alcohol and smoke lots of wacky baccy and generally lead a pretty pointless lifestyle... although we did enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season... if anyone out there would like to know how I now STILL at times live with the consequences of that time, drop me a PM and I'll share my life a bit with you... if by my testimony I can help someone else to choose not to live such a life, then I would count it my priviledge.......... now if we had a thread of the nineties then that would be totally different, and much more fun to talk about!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

[onaree]

Me in '83. :D Cute as can be. :p
I had that apple! I used to play with it all the time.

Our family band did a CD in Jan. WE do matt Redman, Thrid Day, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, and southern gospel and our original stuff, pray we have a gig at the Dallas Mall and we need to learn a few Christmas songs!!!!

[Unstereotypical]

I was in either the 1st or 2nd Grade in Elementary School at the time.

STAR WARS was still huge, and "Return/Revenge of the Jedi" had not come out yet. "Return/Revenge of the Jedi" did not come out till 1984.

I was listening to probably 80's New Wave music on the radio.

Stuff like: Duran Duran when they were the biggest thing in music at the time, Prince, Tears for Fears, early U2, tenny bopper Madonna, Go-Gos, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, and so on.

I was also on the floor in my parents house constantly playing with
STAR WARS toys.

He-Man did not come out till 1983 or 1984. Transformers and G.I.*JOE did not come out till about late 1984 or early 1985.

[Corrine]

In 1982, I was meeting and marrying my husband. This Sunday, we will celebrate our 23 wedding anniversary! :D That's about all I remember. I was a little sidetracked with being in love and all (still am.)

[Eric Creel]

Oh '82 I was in the second grade in Pasedena Tx. My dad was in Chiropractic College in Houston, saw my first christian concert "Gabriel" who still sing to this day. I have a cool photo with them as a kid. I'd love to compare them to today! I had to laugh when Onaree said she read SRA books !!!! That took me back!

Thank You so much for the prayer!!! It truly has blessed me. In fact reading on I was reminded of all the movies I went to see that year while we lived in Fresno.

*Googles Movies in 1982*

Movies I remember watching that year:
First Blood which my step-dad had us look at like 3 times in a row on the same night.
Rocky 3, 48hrs, Zapped!, and how could I forget Tron?
Then there was Poltergeist and Firefox. CreepShow (don't look under the stairs.) The Toy, Time Bandits, The Thing, Six Pack, Grease 2 (Who's That Man?) The Beastmaster. Quest for Fire, Kiss Me Goodbye,
Death Wish 2, The Dark Crystal,
Secret of Nihm, Airplane 2 - The Sequel! AND E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial....So many...
Anyhow, I am reminded of some things.
ImOut!

[imperfect]

I
Loveboy, ZZ Top, Pink Floyd, Journey, Bryan Adams, Heart, Ozzie Osborn (only one), Kansas, Bob Seger (The best), listen to the Eagles, Lynard Skynard (never tried to spell their name before), I also went to see Alabama, and Bocephus(Hank Jr), and more. Just love music...Wish there would have been a "Third Day" back then.

All of my rowdy friends have settled down. :o :o

Everybody's workin' for the weekend!

I was 19, yes saw all the concerts above plus REO Speedwagon, Fleetwood Mac, Stones/ Van Halen, Buffett. Ended the year with my bachelorette party at the AC/DC concert in Lakeland, FL.

Wonder what the boys in 3D were doing then???

I am embarrassed to admit that I sold my clarinet and dirt bike to join my friend on the road to follow the VH and Stones tour that summer. We both came back to start college. Oh yeah, our whole lunch table got mono that year in college. THAT STUNK!

It wasn't easy being a reformed born again teenager back then. Contemporary Christian Music was in its infancy and only on the AM dial!!! AAAGH. Lots of Christian TV scandal. Larry Norman, Bob Dylan and BJ Thomas were getting persecuted by the Christian community cuz of their long hair and my walk suffered alot.

Then I heard Keith Green for the first time and discovered a new way of witnessing through Christian music. Which is what I do with Third Day now.

82 wasn't perfect. Lots of bad memories peppered in there too, but the road still led me here didn't it?

[Tony Trout]

1982.....let me see....


I was probably in Kindergarten and in love with my teacher......as a matter of fact, I asked her to marry me. :eek: :o :p

[Glennjamin]

Led Zepplin...does anyone remember the name of the song that says........ "when the mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me..

That song is "Thank You"... off the album Led Zeppelin II... (now listening to it on the "BBC Sessions" album... songs performed live on the air)

I was in Australia in 1982... crawling around... having a birthday party for turning 1... exciting times :D

I've always had a sharp eye for good looking girls.....the only problem is the girls haven't ever had a sharp eye for dorky looking guys like me. LOL

[prayercloth sis]

I married a Dork!!!!!!!

My husbnd's famly nicknamed him Joe dork...he was a book worm and very intelligent. He tested and made the highest scores in LA., and third in the nation. SAT. PSAT, NMSQT. Pretty impressive, on top of that he didn't talk alot either. He liked to ride a bicycle everywhere, even though he had a car. Played the lead guitar and now he plays everything.

After we dated and got married the girls flocked him and still do!!!! They were flocking him before but I ran them off!!!

So I say DORKS ROCK!!!! 18 years and He still rocks and so do you TONY!!!!

well I metioned Building429 and Overflow but I do also like MercyMe, Steven Curtis Chapman, Casting Crowns. Out of these I would say Steven Curtis Chapman would be my fav. he turned me to Christian music back in 1990 and I have listened to him thorugh the years. The past few years though I have been listening to more Rock sounding bands like Third Day and Building429 I have to admit I still like to Rock! that makes me a good carat I guess!!

That is sooooooo loverly that you think like that about your hubby... But I did think dork was a bit of a cuss word - must be ok in American culture.... we call our son a geek, spose that's the same kind of thing really... :)

[Bonnie_Ty]

In 1982 (wow, it's hard remembering back that far!) I was out of high school for two years, engaged to my first hubby (man, I should've run from that situation!), just starting my Christian walk, had a part-time job, and that's about all I remember...

[Healing Oil]

Nope, still wasn't born yet...

[Dianna Cooper]

July 13 1982 I was born. So that is pretty much where I was at. I was in my moms womb until July 13. Then I was a very small baby being carried around on a pillow by my dad because he was afraid he would drop me. I was a big pacifier baby. I had about four or five in the cradle and I would look around when ever I lost one until I found one to put in my mouth according to my mom.

hmm My brother would have been 1 in February that year and I would have been turning 5 in December. I wanted to start Dance class so bad but couldn't begin till I was 5. oh well.
I am such an 80's girl it is scary! I seem to be able to know all the words to ALL of the songs and tell you what i was doing when they were out, but tell you WHO sang them...nuppers, not a clue.
I would have been in Kindy....here is a story for y'all. I remember this VERY CLEARLY. I was sitting on the carpet with all the kids, listening to the teacher. Suddenly my mother just rushes in, pulls me into a standing position and lifts up my dress for all to see. She exclaims " Ohh you DID put your knickers on!!"haha :D I remember it to this day, and the embarrassment! She then explained that I had dressed myself that morning and she was worried I had forgotten my underwear....shockin'.... ;) :D

[bass_yo]

First year of marriage, no kids. That was a short time, as we were pregnent with our son in Jan of 83. I like looking at pictures from then and how young we looked. I'm still driving the same old truck and we're coming up on our 24th aniversary.

LOL...give ur mom a break...MTV was a year old then too and she probably saw Madonna's video while doing ur laundry and went into crazed mom mode.

Would give some good money to see what your mom would have done if u were but necked underneath. Talk about ur FLASHDANCE.

THere I go again, cracking my ownself up. :p :p :p

Seems that most dads are like that. My dad didn't hold any of his grandbabies 'til they were "big enough" to hold...

He's different now with his great-grandbabies. :D My grandson changed his mind, I think! He's just so precious! (Sorry; a braggin' pic...)

[Bonnie_Ty]

Watch out; they embarrass you right back!
And do so for years! :eek:

Ain't it, tho'! I remember things that happened 35-40 years ago better than I can now... :confused:

[Godgrl Gomer]

Love the baby pic! I am 11 weeks pregnant and have gone all cooey over babies...its enough to make one sick! hahahaha :D

[Bonnie_Ty]

Awwww! It's great to be expecting! I loved it when I could feel them moving around inside of me - such a miracle! Didn't much care for it when they'd get up under my ribs or on my bladder (or both at the same time!), but otherwise it's really cool. They kick out a foot or hand and if you massage it they'll move it!

I wish you all the luck and happiness with this little one. :)

I love my little Hayden to death! Babies are so precious! (Then they have to grow up! :p :D)

This pic is the latest I have on him:

I was in my second year of the Air Force, stationed in Cheyenne,Wy. Working on powerlines during the day, roller skating by night. Dating Karen( before my beloved Bunnydoll, Annie). Styx was my favorite band. Saw them the following year in Denver. Turned the big 2-0. So that makes me thirtySOMETHINGGGG. Great times.

[Yippy]

1982?

I was living like a hippie among the redwoods along the northern California coast across from a commune ...only I shaved and didn't smoke pot. I had a horse named Beauty (she came with that name) and I saw a new movie at the only movie house in town about every 4 months. :) I worked in a 4 star restaurant waiting on whatever celebrity was in town or on local celebrities aka rich people. There's more, but it's better forgotten.

[silly4HIM]

Let's see...1982...well, I was a Jr in High School. Going to school from 6am to 12noon because we had split sessions.

Did you know Ray MacDermott? If not, you're very lucky!!

[Psalm25Gomer]

I was 5 years old. :D

[rockinrobin]

Um.....gee.....thanks, Rhonie (I think!).....

[pintogator]

1982 -- I was in 8th grade trudging my way through Watership Down. Liked the movie more than the book. That was not the case with To Kill a Mockingbird. I enjoyed that book a lot -- as well as the movie.

Funny story (to me anyway) -- our 8th grade had a tradition of the homerooms coming up with nicknames and getting shirts made. I was part of "Mintz's Mafia". These shirts were those three-quarter-length shirts with the white torsos and the colored sleeves. Ours were red and white. The 8th grade English teacher, Ms. Doswell, approved her homeroom's shirt. They were "Doswell's Deliquents".

Wait for it . . . .

That's right, the English teacher approved a shirt that misspelled the word "delinquent." To a group of 8th graders, that was HIGH-larious! :cool:

[imperfect]

I was in my second year of the Air Force, stationed in Cheyenne,Wy. Working on powerlines during the day, roller skating by night. Dating Karen( before my beloved Bunnydoll, Annie). Styx was my favorite band. Saw them the following year in Denver. Turned the big 2-0. So that makes me thirtySOMETHINGGGG. Great times.
STYX!!!!! How did I forget Styx.
Best of Times was my prom song! Ahhhhh, memories.

[namdrof1]

Led Zepplin...does anyone remember the name of the song that says........ "when the mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me.. So today my world it smiles, your hand in mine we walk the miles, thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only, only one" ..I think that it's off the 4 (photo of a bundle of sticks) album?????

Rhonie

Loved..... Boston too!!!!



The Song is "Thank you" it was off of their 1969 release intitled "Led Zeppelin II."

Zep was my all time favorite band, I was only a year old when this album was released.

[thirday]

STYX!!!!! How did I forget Styx.
Best of Times was my prom song! Ahhhhh, memories.

They had a lot of good songs, to pick my fav. I would have to go back a few years to some of their earlier stuff. I had almost all of their albums,starting from their first to Kilroy was here. Suite Madame Blue.
In "82 I also discovered Rush Exit stage left, REO Speedwagon and Journey.

[prayercloth sis]

Thanks, couldn't remember!!!!

Love Led Zepplin myself!!!!!!

God Bless

Tony,

I was just saying that you're great and some people term folks as being a dork or nerds or whatever and never get a chance to visit with them. (Reference your post stating dorky looking guys #45) I think your an awesome person. Totally enjoy all the jokes and cut ups they really brighten my days. Thanks for the laughs. Just picking around, my husband was called Joe Dork by his brothers and then school mates.

God Bless

1982..................... ......................... .........I like Rhonies version, it brings back memories................. ...some good..................... ............some BAD.

I graduated from High School in June of '82 and by the summer our band (Fortress) was in the battle of the bands (which we won)-side note-

All three of the bands that participated in it besides us played one song in their sets the same, they all played "white wedding" by Billy Idol. Do you remember that one Rhonie?

We rocked the house with Iron Maiden (run to the hills), Judas Priest (you got another thing comin) AC/DC (Back in Black) and Ozzy Osbourne (crazy train).

Singing the rest of them wasn't too bad but I had to swallow broken glass to get the Brian Johnson sound on back in black! :eek:

I guess I was kind of a gomer even back then (my year book shows me and two other guys with long hair out of a class of about 300)

Needless to say the band never went anywhere (Fortress :confused: ?) but we had fun (at least I thought so at the time) playing around town, drinking to much and being amazed at the "groupies".

I drove a 1963 Ford pickup (to haul gear in) and worked for a temp service to make a few extra buck. Ilived at home still and had a girl friend/steady that was four years younger (this would be no great problem at my age now, but if a gorilla four years older than MY baby girl wanted to date her I'd have to remind him of the third rule of parental engagement-"I have a shot-gun, a shovel and ten acres, son, don't triffle with my daughter!")

It seemed like a great time then but knowing what I no now (Jesus) I wouldn't want to go back for anything. I went to Church, sang in the choir and lived like I wanted to the rest of the week but was absolutely LOST!

[Tony Trout]

ROFL! True 'dat! :p :p

[SueQ]

In '82 I was in college thinking I had it all together :rolleyes: .... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ....then came '83.... :( big spiral down..... :( ..lost .....until I was saved in '84 :D

[stubbornmuse]

In 1982 I was ten! Running barefoot through the streets making forts in the backyards of my friends and going fishing with my Grandpa. (Shortly after I showed up at his house in sandles with my hair fixed and he knew I would no longer be his fishing buddy. Broke his heart, he said!)

Julie

[Teresa79]

I was 3 in '82.

[Swamp]

I was 12 and in the 8th grade. MTV had started but we didn't have cable. Anytime one of my friends did, I tried to talk them into letting me watch. That was the year I had the biggest crush on a boy named Derrick and then a boy named Scott. We read the Prince and the Pauper in English. I was part of travel club and a group of 24 of us went to Boston, MA from rural Oregon. What a bunch of naive kids we were. We stayed at the YMCA in a pretty tough neighborhood near a music school that had all kinds of people hanging out the windows jamming. We traveled through four different states while we were there. The world suddenly got bigger, cooler and travel seemed like such an adventure. 82 was an awesome year. It was also then the year I became a freshman, figured out I would have great friends but probably never be "cool." God taught me so much about myself and the things that really mattered.

[SC_Dawg]

Graduated from HS on May 20th of 82. Other than that I honestly don't remember a lick of the year :)

[Jaymze13]

Ok, since most of the CARATS said they weren't born in 72 which actually means they aren't CARATS...then were you in 82?
What do you recall from that year?

Senior year in high school.

In 1982 I was wishing I was out of school. In 1983 I tried to find a way back in and I've been looking off and on every since.
:p

In 1982 I thought I didn't have a life, it wasn't many years down the road I figured out the kind of life I was having at the moment wasn't all that bad.

[jde4563]

I turned 19 on April 5 that year. It was toward the end of my Freshman Year at Great Lakes Bible College in Lansing, MI. My parents came up for my birthday and they had to drive from South Bend/Mishawaka, IN to Lansing in a blizzard!!

[in2gsus]

i was in my mothers womb until september 21 of that year

[draw627]

Wait a minute.....this is the PRIME OF LIFE forum, right? :D
I was just graduated from high school, and not a clue as to where my life was taking me. Thank God I got over that hump. ;)






oops! Ya caught me in the old people forum! :eek: [/QUOTE]

[prayercloth sis]

I was a junior in high school having the time of my life...my junior year was great...

Rhonie

[NotMyOwn]

I was in the Army in Hawaii until November, then I went on leave and ended up in Louisiana until August the following year before leaving the military.

[imperfect]

I married a Dork!!!!!!!

My husbnd's famly nicknamed him Joe dork...he was a book worm and very intelligent. He tested and made the highest scores in LA., and third in the nation. SAT. PSAT, NMSQT. Pretty impressive, on top of that he didn't talk alot either. He liked to ride a bicycle everywhere, even though he had a car. Played the lead guitar and now he plays everything.

After we dated and got married the girls flocked him and still do!!!! They were flocking him before but I ran them off!!!

So I say DORKS ROCK!!!! 18 years and He still rocks and so do you TONY!!!!

RHONIE

Did you have Dork children?
I hear that's what happens to Dork love.

[prayercloth sis]

no..thank God..they took thier coolness after me and their common sense...

but they did get their Dad's high intelligence...

Worked out pretty good....

[imperfect]

I was pretty much the cool cat in high school. However, I had a good repoire with the dorks in order to astonish my family and teachers when I graduated with no criminal record and my proud 2.33 GPA. :p

Many, many years later, when I went to college, and tapped into my inner dorkness, I graduated with a 3.97 GPA as class president and officer in the Honor Society.

My son is a dork but he doesn't know it. He thinks he's cool and that's fine by me. I am a proud dork mom. :cool:

My daughter is "cool" and she keeps me on my knees!
DORK ON GOMIE HOMIES!

In 82 I turned 8 years old. Since I skipped a year in grade school (being the nerd/dork I was), I was having a grand time in 3rd or 4th grade (depends on what time of the year).

Rhonie,
When I said many, I meant at 30 with a 4 and 6 yr old at home and sometimes one of them had to come to class with me.
It was difficult being the grown up among the 18 - 22 somethings at the community college. THe night classes had some older folks.
I was fortunate and had much favor on me. PM me for how to get started or just to write.
Hugs,
Angie

[Kyle's dad]

IN 82 I was a Freshman in High School. What do I remember from 82? I belive that was the year the Bob and Doug Mckenzie movie "Strange Brew" came out. I also had my first job. I was a busboy at a Chinese restaraunt.

That movie was a cinematic masterpiece. :D

Alright maybe not. But when I was 14 years old, I didn't really set the bar very high.

[Psycho Mom]

Fall of 82 at Auburn University watching Bo Jackson play football and Charles Barkley play basketball. Shagging (for all you English people on the boards, that is a dance here) every weekend with my big borther in fraternity where I was a little sister and doing the whole preppy sorority thing. Wearing dresses to football games and espadrilles! Papagallo shoes! Also remember hearing the Prince song 1999 thinking it was a 1000 years from then!

Prince was and is still ahead our time.

Kyle's dad: You've come a long way, Reverend.

At our 20 yr reunion it was Spicolli vs. Bueller for Class of 81 president. So I can't really make fun of you...oh yeah, we also had Porky's back then!

In 1982, my world as an 8-year-old was TURNED UPSIDE DOWN! I was the baby of the family (aka: LITTLE PRINCESS) but on FEB. 16, 1982 my brother was born! Not only was he the new baby of the family, he was the only BOY! ...and that was all she wrote. LOL :D

Yeah...my brother turned my world upside down when I was 9 too. All of sudden my sis and I became invisible.
LOL...my mom asked us if we'd like a little brother or sister for Christmas?
We both said, "Nah."
Well, he was born on 12/8/72! LOL...memories.

In 1982 I was in the USAF stationed in Dover, Delaware. Still have some friends there and go back to visit from time to time.

Julie

Hey, that's me (10 years old)... and that's what I was doing (except I was fishing with Grandma, and I never broker her heart...)

Things I remember: My dad sneaking me to the theater to see "First Blood". I caught a 4 foot garter snake (got a picture!), and I built my first treehouse. I learned to ride a horse. I caught my first salmon (10 pounds). I remember most of the people in my 5th grade class. I also thought for sure I was going to find a dinosaur fossil in one of the rocks in my back yard. I used a big rock to break open smaller rocks, and I did actually find a fossil (shells) in one rock. I was so excited!

[kiwisongbird]

1981 - I was out on the streets protesting about the South African Springbok Tour of New Zealand - it was a weird time in our country and really divided families and friends...(Oh cos SA was still extremely segregated at the time....)

1982 - working at Secretarial Union (as I was in 81) mixing with feminists, communists and socialists - who really do try to recruit people.... at the same time my father was working for the Emloyers' Federation of NZ - so we were in enemy camps really. A very strange time of my life... never became a commie - I can assure you - they were all a bit strange really :) :)

Was invited to a meeting one night and we were taken in a roundabout way to a place where the meeting was in a basement - the walls were painted red - I am NOT joking - cheesey eh?

Outside our office there were often SIS agents keeping track of who went in and out of our office. (SIS - government special agent dudes...) Kind of exciting time though :) :)

[kiwisongbird]

Yeah, like Nelson Mandela was still imprisoned at the time... - Man! I'm old eh??? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[beachtiglet]

Jr year of high school...never EVER thought I'd be spending the rest of my life in high school way back then, lol! My Mom says it's poetic justice for driving her crazy back then...instead of one teenager, I have 120 every day...she thinks it's a riot. I LOVE it though...it's AWESOME!

[imperfect]

I remembered thinking that the year 2000 was going to be some great big spectacular thing.
My sister and I said to each other, "Wow, we'll be (insert age here) in the year 2000. THAT's OLD! EEEEEEWWWWWW"
Ha, been there done that :)

I was a Sophomore in 82! The summer of 82 I worked at my best friend's Dad's treefarm. What an experience that was!!! It was alot of work and it was extremely hot and dirty. I remember going home at the end of the day working there thinking....this has got to be the hardest job in the world! lol Then I became a Mom! :eek: :P

[Buttabean]

(I barely made it in '84)

[HotWireD]

I was 19 years old, laying on my back for the whole of August and September with a fractured spine, sticking to the bedsheets due to the open wounds on my back and ankles.

A little before then I was riding a motorcycle around a bend in the wet and realised that I was going too fast.

In between those two moments I had a motorcycle accident and a 'turn back from the light' experience.

[luvmyrottie]

I was 19 years old and getting married to my high school sweetheart. We're still together 25 years and 4 kids later. Now we have 3 grandkids!
