Found this:
get ready for a greatttt trip down a little road i like to call .... memory lane:

Before the Internet or Text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & Ipods

Before Playstation2 or X-BOX

Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing...

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $1.50 for a movie...

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our WALKMANS!!!

***Way back...

Tag

I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk!

Red light, Green light!

Heads up 7 up!

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.

Hopskotch!

Mother May I?

Red Rover

four square

Hula Hoops

Running through the sprinkler

Happy Meals where u chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car

Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car

***Wait...

....Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons

& Price is Right...

...Hey Arnold and DOUG, rugrats!

Gullah Gullah Island

BEAST WARS

The Original Power Rangers!

The Mysteries of Shelby WOO!
Ren and Stimpy

& Nick at Nite! with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, facts of life & I LOVE LUCY!!!

& every1 wanted to be in love after watching THE WONDER YEARS!

***Not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer

Giving your friends a ride on your handlebars or spokes

Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school

Class Field Trips

When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year! (stil is to me.... haha im not gonna lie.)

When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.

When getting high was swinging on the swingset

When $5 seemed like a million, and another dollar a Miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds, for dinner...EVERYDAY.

When Toys r Us overuled the "mall"

***Go back to the time when...

nobody had cable & people watched THE BOX on channel 25 & called & paid to watch music videos!!!!

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"

When fights werent over guys. they were over who was mary*kate & who was ashley (hahah omg. i alwayss played that.)

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The chance to go to the birthday party at SKATE PALACE was like winning the lottery....

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.

Nobody was prettier than Mom

Nobody was cooler than Dad

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the fair...

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!

AMEN to that homies.
