On a couple of different posts there have been references to everyone's ages. So I'm curious. How old (or young as the case may be) are you? I am 42. I remember John Travolta as a new, young star on Welcome Back, Kotter. I watched Johnny Depp on 21 Jump Street. Rod Stewart was singing Hot Legs. We always watched Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. But most of all, my sister, my cousin, and I all swooned (yes, actually swooned!) over the Bay City Rollers.
40 in December :shock: ! I believe I was nearing 10 the first time I saw the Bay City Rollers (swoon :lol:!). My family was moving and my sister and I watched them on the tv in a hotel room. I think it was the Tony Orlando and Dawn show they were on...... forgive my menopausal memory :roll:... *btw I still remember all of the BCRs names :wink:!*
Settlers~ Are those some of your son's creations? Very good work! As for me, I'm 35. Did the Bay City Rollers sing SA-TUR-DAY Night? I remember hearing that song alot at the public pool in the 70's! I was a big Donnie & Marie fan, along with Shawn Cassidy and the Bee Gees. I loved The Little House on the Prairie, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and the Waltons. They don't make good shows like those anymore!
Yeah, settlers, a good combination would be me, a fork, and that Scooby Doo cake!!! Hey, Rumpledoodles! Let's see if I remember the BCR- Derek Longmuir ( my favorite- those shoulders!!) Alan Longmuir Les McKeown(SP?) Woody Wood Eric Faulkner Am I right?
Yes, you are right! Those were the original band members. How did I forget the Waltons & Little House? :? My mom sewed prairie dresses for us complete with aprons & bonnets. We wore them to school even! So far, it seems like I'm the oldest one here.
HAH! You're all older than me so far :lol: I'm celebrating the 1st anniversary of my 30 th birthday for another month :lol: Brenda
Don't forget Ian Mitchell (swoon :lol and of course the gross Pat McGlynn :? and even more gross Duncan Faure :x ! Then, there is the matter of the "lost" Roller, Nobby Clark... :wink:...
I'm grossed out, though. I googled Derek's name just now and he's a total pervert. He was caught with a computer full of child porn, the creep. Those guys really aged badly, too, unless it's a Scottish thing. Ick!
I turned 30 in March. I was in love with Bobby Brown, Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid), Sean Astin (who now will forever be etched in my memory as Samwise Gamgee ), Kirk Cameron--who I look up to now more than I did as a kid cuz he is on fire for my Lord!--uh, let's see, who else???....I liked Micheal Jackson before the surgeries and oxygen treatments :lol: .....Bo Duke (Luke didn't do much for me :lol: )..... We watched The Incredible Hulk, Dukes of Hazzard, Manimal, and the Greatest American Hero as kids.....wow! This is a cool thread! 8) ...... OH, YEAH! Music!....I'll tell you what was popular, but I didn't like any of them much--New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Mariah Carey (the first time around), Janet Jackson, Madonna....well, I liked Janet and Madona, but that was before they lost their following and turned to...uh...flesh to sell their stuff.... :roll:
That's ok...it looks like Brooke is the "baby" of the group now :lol: Hey! I was told that my back problems were age related (by Worker's Compensation months ago :roll: )! Does that mean all of you have the same problems too (I sure hope not). I remember being fascinated by Michael Jackson in grade three (boy did I learn a lot) and then Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, WHAM... Brenda
Okay I feel old now. Does any of you all remember Dragon Net, The Jeffersons, Archie Bunker, Maude. These are shows I grew up with. The music was KC & the Sunshine band & groups like that. I listened to a lot of country growing up. Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Merle Hagard, Johnny Cash. Barabra Mandrell, I was country when country wasn't cool. Tanya Tucker and Glenn Campbell. Does anyone remember the song Delta Dawn. Okay I have showed my age enough. I admit I am older than Sesame Street.
I officially take the baby title away...lol. I am 27 and will celebrate my ninth anniversary this Tuesday!
Wow...I was thinking JenPooh might be the youngest...we had that discussion on another thread.... Congrats to you, zsmomma!...our 10th is next month!....but I ought to start a thread for how long you knew your spouse before you married.... :wink: ....I think I might win :lol: .
It's okay, Trish. This ole crone remembers all of those things too! Brooke, how long did you know your hubby before you married him?
