I loved this post and seeing all the things that occurred in the 80's. Many of these I know are true and happened in the 80's and some I was not aware of til now. Thanks for bring back memories from the 80's. :-)

The only one that didn't was Blossom. It was an early 90's show. Otherwise, all of those I remember far too easily! I graduated from high school in 1989.

And you're to blame. You give love a bad name. Ok now that I am done singing I can tell you I remember more of those then I care to admit to. Of that list I think the only one that I will actually say out loud that I remember is going to the skating rink before there were inline skates. What is funny is that my sister just took my nephews to the place where we used to go staking and had to try and explain to them what the old stakes were, because there were a pair hanging in a glass case. Now I am off to find the beef. Thank you for the memories/flashbacks.
