Bang!Zoom! Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The supersized Bonnie Bell in Bubblegum that came with a white cord to hang around your neck. White painter pants, blue eye shadow cream that was reflective, Sweet Honesty perfume and curls Farrah Fawcett inspired. Good times.

Dana Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Anyone remember the Sunshine family dolls? I hated those dratted dolls. We had them. Barbies presented an "unrealistic expectation for women". The sunshine family didn't have any outfits to change into. Boring! I much preferred the Weebles. We had their pop up camper. My sister had the submarine.

cin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Combs sticking up out of the back pocket of the jordache and Calvin Klein jeans. Roller Skating with a disco ball hanging in the middle of the roller rink, oxford shirts, Izod LaCoste, hooded college sweatshirts, worn without the hood. "Baseball' shirts and the white nike tennis shoes with a light blue swoosh. Satin shirts/jackets open to the belt with lots of gold and chest hair, because men were men back then, well, except for the satin pants. And the Bee Gees.

You should see the awesome movies I can buy for .25 cents. Not only do we still have a VCR and use it, I have a spare in my bedroom closet in case this one ever dies. ;) I have also been on the hunt for a fire engine red old style rotary phone. The one I wanted from the antique shop was $99 and a bit out of my price range. I realized I was old when I saw my old brownie and girl guide uniforms in the museum in the next town. And a pendant I used to have on my wall in an antique shop. If items I used and wore are in museums and antique shops I must be very very old :001_huh: Funny aside, I was telling my big kids and their friend yesterday about having internet for the first time when I was pg with my oldest. How the kid's dad and I liked to go onto ICQ and "meet" new people. The sounds from that when you hit the button to randomly connect with someone will always be in my head. There was many nights I remember powering on the computer and listening to dial up connect while fixing a bottle for ds back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 We still hear some of these sounds. We get a dial tone on our telephone and hear a busy signal. A couple of weeks ago while we were at a financial office, they printed something out on their dot matrix printer. The kids were fascinated but the guy said that is the only way to still print out forms in triplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeW88 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yeah, we're pretty familiar with Donny and Marie around these parts. :lol: And I had the Sunshine Family, too. I also did all the little granola-ish crafts that came with them. My Sunshine family had living room chairs made from the lid of an aerosol can of Windex (remember those), stuffed with cottonballs and covered with fabric held in place with a rubber band. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I remember thinking that I would never be the sort to say, "I remember when..." but then I was talking with my husband and... I remember when... ...cars were made out of metal (I learned to drive on a 77 Chevy - that sucker was a BOAT) ...you only watched live TV ...if you wanted to rewatch a movie, you had to wait for them to rerelease it ...you'd let the phone ring 8 times before hanging up... and you'd tell everyone to stay off the line if you were waiting for a call ...push button phones were the new phones (ugh...rotary) ...I took typing lessons - not keyboarding... and we started out with manual typewriters. We got lucky and got electric typewriters midway through the course. .... you had to get up to change the channel...and you had to turn the dial. I do still have a record player, so my son has seen that. It really is wild looking back at old movies and seeing how technology in particular has changed. I'm reading a book that was written in the mid-90s and one character told another to "get a beeper and get into the 20th century" for keeping in touch. I'm quite sure my son wouldn't know what a beeper was. Yup... old here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that too, the only difference was I learned to type on an electric typewriter, but we owned a manual one in our house. I used that for anything that had to be typed and had the correcting strips to go over typos. :p I do still have a record player, so my son has seen that.

Cinder Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I forgot to mention that I knew most of those sounds. I never owned a Mac so hadn't heard the uh-oh sound. And the Windows 95 didn't sound familiar--maybe because we always had the volume off. But I'm so old I remember when floppy disks were advanced technology. I recorded my first ever computer program on a cassette tape. Yeah, seriously. Then when I went to college the school was just transitioning from punch cards to The Mainframe. I didn't use a floppy disk until I started working--about 7 years after the cassette tape era. Yeah, I'm old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
