Late 80s baby right here.
The ninja turtles was cool and “talk to the hand” was overrated. Goose Bumps was a horrible series. It wasn’t even scary. Waste of money, I tell ya.

April 24th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
i was born in the the early 90’s but honestly i dont’ remember anything about it. in today’s world, i know i was born in the wrong generation. i know and love so much stuff from the 80’s. i wish i could be a teen in the 80’s so bad though! it was the greatest decade to listen to music!

May 1st, 2009 at 2:57 am
I remember all of that, I was born in 1948, but I have twins who were born in the 1980s, I think some of us never grow up. My youngest were both born in 1990, I got a double dose of these things.
My late hubby was a child at heart and he instigated with the kids as often as possible.
