Go back..waaaaay back

I got this from Mina - ah, the good ol' 90's

-------------
Lets go back into the days

Before Sidekicks & Ipods
Before Playstation2 or X-BOX
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night...
When you rented VHS taps.. 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 to hear off our WALKMANS!!!

***Way back...

Tag
Power Wheels
Hide-N-Go Seek at dusk!
Red light, Green light!
Heads up 7 up!
Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Hopskotch!
Slip-n-Slides
Tree Houses
Mother May I?
Red Rover
Four square
Hula Hoops
the annoying nano pets and furbys
Playing Street Hockey with the neighborhood friends
Running through the sprinklers
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 in your PJ's still wrapped up in your Garfield comforter...
...Hey Arnold, Doug, RUGRATS!
The ORIGINAL Power Rangers!

Or what about...

The Secret Life of Alex Mac!
Ren and Stimpy
Double Dare!!!
Rocko's Modern Life!
AAAHH!! Real Monsters!!!
Wild & Crazy Kids!
Clarissa explains it all!
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK!
The Original 'All That' Cast Members!
Kenan and Kel!!! lol (who loves orange soda)
Who could forget Snick?! & Nick at Nite! with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, facts of life & I LOVE LUCY!!!
Where every1 wanted to be in love after watching THE WONDER YEARS!

***Not finished yet...

Kool-Aid was the drink of choice
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When Christmas time was the most EXCITING time of the year!
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...
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"
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink 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...
When playing nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When ninja turtles ruled the world
