"I remember", the first time i ever played a DVD movie and realized i didnt have to rewind it like a VHS cassette lol!
Please finish this statement "I Remember"
I remember, back in the 70s, I was......
er...
What was the question?
...when cable tv was new.
@TampaHeathen I remember UHF channels really well. My mother used to watch bullfights from Mexico.
I discovered cable TV by moving to a small town in Alabama in 1972. Back then it was just local stations from too far away to pick up with a regular antenna. That was before the glories of CNN, HBO or MTV.
I remember when television was free.
I remember being so afraid that I may have to go to to Viet Nam
Oh yeah, me too!!
Oh, here's a good one. I skateboarded RELIGIOUSLY in the 70s. From around 1972 all the way to 1980, clay wheels, right up through German 'speed bearings' that cost like $13 extra PER WHEEL! ($13 x 4 to a 15 year old in 1979 was drug runner money!) My board in 1979 almost touched $200 total... hell, you could have bought a running VW Bug for that. My board might have outrun that bug!!!
In 1980 my parents moved back to the USA... All new friends and a dead skate scene locally. I also had car keys!
So... I put the old Sims Superply in the back of the closet and moved on.
I remember jumping on a nephews skateboard around 1990 and wiping out at 26 or 27 years of age. And son of a bitch if 1990 concrete wasn't about 4x harder than 70s concrete!
I remember a lot I'd like to forget and forget some I should remember.
Where's my coffee mug ?
I remember the time I knew a girl from Mars.
.. A world before Neo-liberal, 'free-market' rapacious, dog-eat-dog, right-wing, economic rationalist economics all but destroyed it, politically and economically.
Yet people still cooperate sometimes. We haven’t forgotten how! I think that ability lurks in the genetic memory of many, waiting for better times in which to flower.
....my first time at Disney World; my second best friend (my dog); my very best friend (Dad).
I remember when I was a young father, that I lost 100$ Ben just took off. A couple of years later while doing yard work, I found my son Dakota’s wallet in some weeds that had overgrown by the house. I opened it up and there was my $100. I miss him so much :’(
I remember being taken to see "Bambi" as a child and screaming my head off, hiding under the seat....because Bambi's mother was killed! Why in HELL did Disney make such awful films?
i cried when she died...
Sadistic ass comes to mind
That fucking traumatised me.
I remember spending $600 on a 1 speed external CD-ROM drive for my computer back in the 80's. Because we just had to have the new technology and be the cool kids on the block! Lesson taken - wait patiently for the new tech to develop, work out its bugs, and come down in price.
I remember skating outdoors every winter at the local metropark. The ice would reliably freeze by January and every year there was a season for ice skating. Not so reliable the last 20 years or so...
I remember my first solo. I didn't feel up to it. The instructor said I would do fine and I had nothing to worry about. Then he took his jacket out of the aeroplane, just in case...
Glorious feeling, like I conquered the world!!!
@buzz13 That, and the great feeling of not looking up from the bottom of a smoking hole.
My first transistor radio
@twshield LOL
I remember when I missed phone calls because I wasn't home and nobody cared.
