    Hmm let's see

    1980- Born in June in fact two days from now to exact.
    1984- Had snack taken away for a week in pre-school because I refused to eat raisins...I can't eat dead grapes I'm sorry.
    1985-Started elementary
    1989-went to DisneyLand for the first time

    and other then that not much happened at least not that I can remember. I do however remember a heck of alot of good cartoons, 80's songs I should be to young to remember (2 older sisters) oh and the Minipops.
    Goonies never say die!

    Let's see, the 80's were definitely better than the 90's:
    82 - Graduated high school, moved, and went to university
    87 - Graduated University with a pharmacy degree, moved, and moved again (two different jobs)
    87-89 - made up for time lost while at university (i.e., did alot of partying).
    89 - Changed jobs (but didn't move!!). Met my former partner (see 90's thread).

    Only went to university once during the 80's (made up for it during the 90's)

    Early 80's: drugs, rock n' roll, booze, motorcycles, women

    Late 80's: drugs, rock n' roll, booze, motorcycles, women, jail

    Not a successful way to live!

    Maybe not, but it sounds very interesting!

    ChrisH...too funny!!

    I wonder sometimes how I lived through all of it!

    Their is a scene in "Fast times at Ridgemont High" where Spicoli says, "people on ludes shouldn't drive"....I defied that statement too many times!

    Early to mid 80's, working in town and living with my sorry-ass ex-boyfriend.
    1987 - left my sorry-ass ex-boyfriend and hooked up with another sorry-ass ex-boyfriend.:
    1989 - left 2nd sorry-ass ex-boyfriend and been living alone and happy ever since.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    What a neat thread...its cool to see where everyone was during the 80s.

    Let's see, I was born in 1978.

    1981 - Brother was born
    1983 - Started school
    1984 - Moved to Santa Rosa Valley, where parents built our house
    1984-1989 - Lived in Santa Rosa, spent lots of time at the Kings River boating, skiing and camping. Got chickens, a duck, a rooster, two bunnies, a hamster and two dogs. Thus begins my love for furry things.
    1989 - Parents divorce, move to Moorpark

    Wow, that's strange looking back on a certain decade...
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...
