I'm so old that:
I remember when there was a Roy Rogers restaurant almost everywhere
I remember almost everyone had a beeper
A lot of furniture/items/etc. had little fake wood designs on them
I can't think of anything else at the moment lol.

I remember wearing 'leggings' to school. These matched our coats by material and colour. Check this ut:

Could hardly wait to get into the next grade at school where you didn't have to wear these things!!! |
