Was there anything in there about Slap Bracelets? Weren't those in the 80's? I loved slap bracelets.
Haha yeah! I loved slap bracelets too!!
Happy birthday, Kay! And why can't we still wear jellie shoes?
Happy belated birthday!
Gee, either my part-heimers is kicking in, or else having graduated in '86 doesn't qualify me as having "grown up in the 80's". I can remember what Michael Jackson looked like then (& in the 70's), I remember "I've fallen..." and I remember the skating rink. But, popples, what are those???
