I'm terribly sorry about how this turned out. It was supposed to have pictures to go along with all of these but they won't show up for some reason. so I am taking them off of the post so it won't take up a lot of empty space. The pictures would have helped a lot for the younger crowd RS and Therese. Especially for the garbage Pail Kids. Man I LOVED those.

9. You played the game 'MASH'(Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House)

Guilty as charged.
Thanks for the "Hiya" on my blog, SR.
"You died of dysentery."
It's funny that I do remember a lot of these (Fraggle Rock, Saturday morning cartoons, jelly shoes). But I was the Mom. Now I feel REALLY old. So thanks for that :o)
I only remember half, which makes sense since I only KIND OF grew up in the 80's.
I love me some 80s, but I so don't know what Oregon Train Day was. I don't think my school had computers then. I don't recall. I was too busy making friendship pins out of safety pins and multicolored beads for my friends to attach to their shoestrings. And planning my wedding to Simon LeBon.
:-) I'm not sure I needed all these memories in one shot, but I did dress up as Robert Smith from the Cure for Halloween this year. I'm still in denial about growing older. In my mind I'm still 18, and it's still 1986.....
What words...
