Do You Remember?
A high school friend posted this recently. It's a real trip down memory lane...
If you were born anywhere from 85 to 90 then most of this you will remember. All you 90's kids probably won't know what the heck most of this stuff is.
This was a bulletin that I saw recently that reminded me of being young and made me start to think that maybe growing up isn't the greatest thing in the world. I think all of us can appreciate this stuff and it can remind us to remember when we were little. Enjoy!

-When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
-When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
-When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.
-When we called the radio station to request songs and they actually played them!
-Tag.
