things you miss about the 80's

after looking at a post i thought hey what does everyone still have from there life in the 80's i still have my 10inch allegro 3000 speakers i still have my record player heck i still have my old 486 computer and i am still watching airwolf from the 80's what about yall i know yall must still have something

 

I miss staying home on Saturday night to catch Headbanger's Ball and SNL, back when they were both kewl.

 

Some very small clothes.

The diapers, however, have not held-up very well over the years.

 

You're supposed to stop using them when you get older

 

That's just media propaganda.

I'll wear them as long as I see fit.

 

Lmao

 

Or as long as they still fit?

 

About the only things I still have from the 80s are a few pictures, my tools, and an old Epiphone FT150 guitar (although that dates back to the 70s). Most everything else disappeared when my wife and I split up.

What do I MISS from the 80s? My son, who was born in 1980. Not much else.

 

Yep, been 'cleaning house' in every sense of the word a lot in the last few months.

Yeah, me too, plus the rest of my former family unit. Life had a lot more meaning and was (at least apparently) a lot simpler then.

The last two and a half decades are erased for the most part, with very mixed 'blessings'.

 

things I miss, just a little younger then, and I miss being able move around better.......and o ya I miss being able to see better.....the eyes don't work well anymore........wobbles

 

I don't think I miss much of anything. Other than the fact that I would give my left arm to have the "horrible problems" I had in high school again. Geez, with that little to worry about, I might actually spend a lot less money at the chiropracter and massage therapist!

 

It's good to hear that you're getting on with life. Not all battles end up "happily ever after", but if you did all you could, for as long as you could, you can carry the self-respect from doing what was right. That's not a "blessing" per se, but IS a part of your character. You can hold your head up and move on.

 

I was still in school in the '80's. . .moved around alot. My old man was in the Air Force
I have a big rock with a bunch of fishbones in(if any can tell me what they're called,i dont remember) that I found while fishing with my dad. . . and one picture of he and I.
I miss moving around,actually, it enabled me to "adapt" to many situations with various types of people. . and of course, my father
but more importantly(since we are also talking tv here)
The Equalizer
Mork & Mindy

 

Nothing really, as I was born in '86 and as such have very little memories from the '80's.

 

jarcher, that may be a trilobite or a fossil. No wait, those of us remembering the 80's are fossils! Ha, ha,............ha.

 

I don't think they're as old as trilobite's but yea fossils.Brain fart. . .thanks.

 

I've got a stereo system that I bought in '84 for $999. It had 4 components: a tuner, cassette deck, turntable, and amplifier. The turntable went long ago. As did the cabinet. Had to fix it a couple of times (I went to school for electronic repair in '88 just to learn how to fix it). Last year it got moved to the garage.
Have lots of pictures, mainly when I was in the Marine Corps. And right now I'm looking at a "Thinker" figurine that I got back then. You know, the guy sitting down, naked, with one hand under his chin. Still have my combat boots (worn out) and one BDU blouse.

What do I miss? The music. Now we have this rap crap. Besides that, can't remember much of anything else as I was drunk most of the time.

 

What I still have from the 80's:
3 copies of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' RECORD
Concert tickets from ZZ Top's Afterburner Tour
An old pair of parachute pants that my son now wears
My high school diploma

What I miss about the 80's:
The whole world being new to someone with a driver's license and $10 for gas.

 

Don Johnson/Miami Vice clothing......
Original Jams.....
Boy-Radar Hairstyles on girls... (small towns are only recently starting to get away from that gosh-awful hairstyle)
Euro Pop......
Big Hair Metal Bands.....
New Wave.....
New Kids on the Block......
Menudo....
Culture Club/Boy George.....
Friday the 13th/Jason...Halloween/Michael...Nightmare on Elmstreet/Freddy...etc etc...

No, there's not much to miss about the 80's.

 

what, you didn't miss his singing?. . *insert sarcasim here*

 

bands with lead / solo guitarists that actually did solo's and sounded good.

 

MY HAIR

 

I still have three full enitre sets of empire strikes back cards from the eighties, every cassette tape I ever bought, a crazy looking leather jacket from that time period (eeeww) too many zippers...

Things I miss? My dog. Aocuple of friends that I drifted from, and the first young lady that ever kissed me...hmmm...the good ole days... Did I just say that???
