Just a quick poll!

[Stacy]

I am curious to everyone's ages on here? I am 29 and will be turning 30 in October. Post your age if you like. :)

[Adam]

Hi Stacy,

I wish I could say the same for me (being 29 again) :D LOL!

I'll be 34 in December. Turning 30 wasn't such a bad thing, but I do miss my 20s. ;)

[witchstone]

28. Got the ten year reunion this summer, if somebody ever organizes it!

[Ladyofthe80s]

I'm 33, will be 34 in June.

Cath

[DT29]

I'm 32. I'll be 33 on June 10th.

[MDC]

Can we plead the Fifth on this topic??? :(

I am... 31... Hmm... that wasn't so hard to say...

[BambiK7]

I am 38, but feel like 21 and look like 30! Ha Ha Ha!!

[MDC]

I don't look my age either, Bambi, and it certainly is a wonderful thing!!! I guess I should start lying about my age for as long as I can get away with it... :D

[EEBaum]

20 :)
I'm about as young as they come for 80's nostalgia

[MDC]

EEB, it's great to see younger people posting in here!!! It just goest to show you what an impact the 80s have had on various generations... :D

[Adam]

We think it's very cool that you are into 80s nostalgia EEB. LOL, Bambi - People say I look younger than 33. Witch - You're still pretty young. Don't let your reunion make you feel any older. :)

[teresa]

I'm only 20. Almost 21 in a couple weeks.

[MDC]

Well, I get to formally welcome a young newbie to the boards... Welcome, Teresa. Please, introduce yourself and let us know why you like the 80s so much!!! :D

I'd like to second the Welcome teresa!

Cath

[Adam]

Ahhhhhhh... If I could only be 20 again! :D Don't know if I had welcomed you in yet Teresa... Please pardon my tardyness if I had overlooked your entrée.

WELCOME! :)

[Zalve]

I just turned 30, in Feb. Maybe I should post some pictures from my party with 80's theme...?!?

[witchstone]

Ooo yes, I hope that there was a lot of big hair, neon, and inside out sweatshirts there.

[MDC]

Yes, definitely post your pics, Zalve... Are you, by chance, wearing a Frankie Says Relax shirt in your pics??? :D

[Adam]

LOL Michael! :) Wish I would have kept some of my 80s clothes. Did you?

Zalve - By all means, break out the pics! :D

[Zalve]

OK! I'll scan the pictures today...

So some one U remember the inside out sweatshirts - So funny.

I just have to fins a website to upload them on.

[Zalve]

On the site.. (Not my site) U can find pics from my 80's party. (Me and my wife so far) http://qwikpages.com/parkave/zalveman/

[Adam]

This is great Zalve! Excellent pics! I wish I could find pictures of my wife and I when we were at an 80s party a couple of years ago. Maybe I'll find them sometime in the near future. Broken zipper on the guy with the purple pants - That's good stuff Zalve. :D Thanks for sharing!

Actually, I still have my flourescent yellow "Choose Life" jersey... like the ones that Wham! wore... It's a little too snug to wear (I grew quite a bit after buying the shirt).

[DJPhil]

37 here.... prime 80's material!!!

Hmm, a little bit too snug to wear? That sounds like it's right up Wham!'s alley!

[drunkpunk]

Great pix Zalve!! I am 31 everyone! And I am absolutely lovin' it. My friends think i look 23ish. I will get a pic in my profile soon. Promise. And you can see for yourself! Hey, by the way, I think its a common thing from our generation to look younger than we are. I noticed that a couple of years with all my friends. Hmmmmm....wonder why that is. Anyone else miss the super hold of Aqua Net hairspray? lol. have fun!!
:cool:

[MDC]

Hey, DrunkPunk... we are the same age! 69 was a great year to be born!

Zalve, just now got to see your pics. For some reason, your web site wouldn't open up when you originally posted your message. Those are great photos of you, your wife and cousin! Of course, you are all attractive; is there such a thing as an ugly Swede? :)

Real age or what I tell everyone?

I am truly 32. (Dec12, 1968)

I TELL everyone I am 29.

I get carded for cigs and liquor. I have named many children after those that card me!!

:D

~!G

[drunkpunk]

HAHAHA dancingdoll! I must admit to saying i am 29 in certain situations too. Yep, i get carded all the time, and the legal age here is 19!! what are people thinking.
Yes Michael, 69 was an excellent year to be born. By the way, out of curiousity, what month were you born? Nitty gritty stuff here now! lol. I was born October 21, 69. well have fun all!
:cool:

[Zalve]

Thx for the nice words on my photos. I have some more, but the aren't the sharp - woulder if that has something to do with drinling too many beers?! :)

is there such a thing as an ugly Swede?
Belive me, there is :D :D I just can't think of one, that U have heard of.

I get carded for cigs and liquor
We have age 18 for liquor in Sweden, and last time I was there I had to show ID... He (almost a boy) was "little" ashamed. :D :D

Zalve - playing "Take on me (techno mix)" [A-ha]

[MDC]

I was born in December, DrunkPunk, so that makes you about three months my senior!

I, too, usually get carded when I go out or if I'm buying liquor, which makes me feel all wonderful inside!!!

[DT29]

This just happened to me last week. I'm at the grocery store buying some groceries and a bottle of wine. I have my 10 and 8 year olds with me. The cashier goes, "may I see your I.D. please". I guess I should be flattered but I would have to have been 11 years old when my daughter was born to be 21. Maybe its that anti-aging cream I've been using. lol

[witchstone]

Leonard, I KNEW you were an Oil of Olay man deep down.

[drunkpunk]

HAHAHAHAHA Doubtingthomas!!!TooooFunny!!
Its happened to me recently. My son is 15 ( iwas 16 when he was concieved lol) and I was buying liquor, I showed my ID, but the clerk flatly accused me of booting for my son!! lol
Have Fun!

[DT29]

Hell yeah dp. Same thing happened to me a couple years ago. My oldest daughter is 15. The cashier says, "can I see her I.D." and I say "since when does my daughter have to show her I.D.". The cashier says "you don't look old enough to have a daughter that age" and I say "mind your own damned business". Can't I just by my Mad Dog 20/20 and be left alone.

[DT29]

Carolyn, Oil of Olay serves many purposes. ;)

[xistenza]

My turn:

I'm 26, I still get carded, and I've decided to start carding boys who hit on me. *lol* It's not that I mind, so to speak (ok, actually i love it), but I
*really* can't justify dating anyone who just graduated highschool! :)

~xistenza

[jen*]

I am 33, will be 34 in August. I graduated from high school in '85 but I bet ya'll could guess that. ;)

Zalve - By all means, break out the pics!

Hey! I still have what my fiance refers to as "That BonJovi Jacket" hanging in the closet! You know, the jeans jacket with the fringe on it! You never know when I might need it! He'd love for me to throw that out!
OH!! And I do have some LA Jeans, that I will probably never get into again. Do you remember the commercials with Heather Locklear and her LA Jeans?

[Adam]

Hehehe... It's hard to throw out that favorite pair of jeans or jacket isn't it? I'm also a pack rat and keep [almost] everything from the past. As you said... You never know when you might need it. ;)

[DT29]

I threw any clothing that had anything to do with the 80's years ago. I love the music but you couldn't pay me to dress in any of that clothing again. What a great era for music but what the hell were we thinking wearing all that horrible clothing.

[drunkpunk]

Yep. Gone is the clothing, except my punk leather. It has years n years of memories and art on it. I couldnt bear to throw that out. I remember shaving my head in haste one year, perhaps 90? Anyway, every once in a while I miss my big robert smith hair. I had the biggest hair in skewl one year. Oh the days! lol. Hooray for Aquanet lol.
Have Fun! :cool:

[dancingdoll86]

I still have my Guess? jeans...and still can fit into them! I, too, have my "Bon Jovi" fringe jacket, as well as a waist length jean jacket that has beaded fringe all on the back of it...with rhinestones. And studs. (No, I just have it...I don't wear it. Okay, I am lying!)

My hair is still big, (you can see in my profile), and I still look bizactly like I did in HS. I am still 4'10, I still weigh in at 95lbs, and I will be a fluff chick until I die!

BTW...why is it that girls get so offended by the term "chick"? I am one, what's the big deal?

ALSO...does anyone else remember the 3/4 sleeve shirts that had the rainbow going up one sleeve, across the chest, and back down the other sleeve? I just found a horrendous pic of me in one from 7th grade. (circa 1982) GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!! :)

~g

[DT29]

Keep the hair, burn the cloths ladies. lol :D

[Zalve]

Upload your old photos and make us laugh :)

//Z

[dancingdoll86]

OY Zalve!!

Everyone would see the pics....and absolutely die laughing!!! The 80's were the BEST decade, however, you look at the pics and say to yourself, "My God, what on EARTH was I thinking?!?!?!?"

I wil have to find someone with a scanner, (I only have a digital camera), or head on up to Kinko's to do it.

I do have photo albums online here at cartogra.com. If you page down to where it says "view friends album", type in gretchen1987 and it'll open all of my albums.

Not really a shameless plug...it is just a site where I keep all the photos so that everyone can view them. (In Fla...in Cali...in SC...you get the idea!)

~G

[MDC]

Just checked out your photo album, Gretchen! I liked the picture of Aron at his surprise birthday party... was he doing his Unknown Comic impersonation???

[dancingdoll86]

Ya know...when it was happening, I didn't even think of that!! I was laughing pretty hard at your view of it!!! ( :D :D )

Actually, he was pretty drunk. We had gone to play pool down in Cleveland Hts. and Ihad about 6 long island iced teas, and he had about 8 vodka tonics. (That's about all he CAN drink...he's a type 1 diabetic!) So, my job was to get him over to Brett&Suzyn's...but we made a detour to Arabica. We got to the party, and his gift from Brett was an entire bottle of Absolute! He was halfway through that thing when gift time came!!

Needless to say....he was quite drunk. I drove us home at 4am, he laid down on the bed fully clothed and fell asleep. I tried to undress him, but, b/c his sugar was so high, (I had to test him and give him his shot while he was out...it was WAY HIGH!), he threw me off the bed, into the wall and onto the floor! It was hysterical....I was laughing so hard I was crying!!! When I told him about it the next morning, he felt really bad, but that is one of the side effects of high/low sugar. The person becomes foggy...and the brain shuts down.

So, I have rambled on and on...what did you ask?!? (*teasing*)

*hug*
~G

[drunkpunk]

I love the fact that this post is tittled 'Just a quick poll' and yet here we all are. hahaha. this may go on forever!! can they get bigger than 2 pages I wonder. See ya ;)

[Adam]

I was thinking of the same thing drunkpunk. Not such a quick poll anymore is it? :D

Each topic can get many pages long. So the answer to your question is yes, it can get longer than 2 pages.

[Adam]

LOL! That was funny. As I mentioned topics could get longer than 2 pages, I had the first post on the 3rd page.

[drunkpunk]

So I see!! Cheeky cheeky! LOL
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
HAHAHAHAHA!

[Brandon]

I know this is late, but I just joined this website...

I will be 27 this October!

[Belladonna]

Another late one:

I'm 18. I'll be 19 next month tho. Legal age here is 18, and I have the misfortune of looking 15! So, if you guys want to hear stories about carding.....

[MDC]

Wow, Bella, I think it's awesome that someone as young as you love and appreciate the 80s! Most people your age believe that Britney Spears and N'Sync invented Pop music!!! :)

Uh, Adam?

I was, like, totally joking. No biting over here...that hurts too much. (Unless done someplace....ooooops, not going there!) ;)

No! No! No! It was NKOTB!!!! ;) I actually made a skirt out of my NKOTB bedsheets that I still occasionally wear. I was never really a fan tho... I just find it funny! It freaks my friends out ;)

You are sooooo lucky.
:D

[boingytig]

Yeah, lets hope I stay that way--looking younger than I am! LOL

[dancingdoll86]

Evie!!

We are lucky that both of us have decided that tanning isn't the best thing to do...that's what's going to keep us looking way younger than we are. (*lucky us lucky us*)

I guess we'll wait and see what happens to us once we have a baby. I am just hoping that my chest doesn't end up looking the way it did BEFORE the reduction, ya know?

Waiting for Sept. 5th!

~G

[Adam]

Are you planning on having a baby soon Gretchen? My wife and I hope to have one next year. Her clock is ticking, if you know what I mean? ;) I am looking foward to starting our family though.

I'm curious to see what you look like boingytig. Do you have a pic? If you need me to upload if for you, let me know...

:D :D :D

[dancingdoll86]

Hey Adam!

I am not sure planning would be the correct word for this! Though my clock has been ticking quite loudly, and just spoiling my 3 Godchildren is making me want them more!!

Also, I have scanned a bunch of old photos of my 80s years, and Evie is in there....some Jr. Hi stuff and a few from the HS years. *heehee* I am sure that she will appreciate it! (Almost as excited as I am to show off my hair faux pas....I cut it all off to go to my HS 10 yr reunion. It's just now growing out!!)

:D

~G

[BambiK7]

Hey Zalve,
That would be me! Ha Ha Ha!

When I was 30 people said I looked 20, now that I'm 38 everyone thinks I'm 30, so hopefully I will always look about 10 years younger! ;)
My fiance is 3 years younger and his mom "thinks" I'm younger than him...but I think his sisters told her my "correct" age.
Ha Ha ha!

[ August 22, 2001: Message edited by: BambiK7 ]

[boingytig]

Ok all, say your goodbyes to Gretchen cuz those pictures are going to result in her untimely demise, I am sure! I don't have any current pics of me Adam, but I will work on that.

[dancingdoll86]

Evie!!! (*giggle*)

But they are so cute!!! There's one of you hiding from the camera by the bleachers at the Middle School, one from 9th grade choir with you and Aemi, and another one from HS with you sitting at the table with Mary Lynn and Kathy. (10th grade.) Believe me, the ones that I am posting are not that great of myself either...except the one from the reunion night with you, me, and Hugh!!! (My infamous "bird" haircut!!)

***smooches***

~G

[boingytig]

Hey, at least you didn't decide to go blonde right before the reunion! Thank God I got rid of that look, ack!

[dancingdoll86]

Nah...instead I hacked off 9 inches of hair....that took me 4 years to grow in the first place!!

BTW...I thought you looked great as a blonde...NOW what are you?!?!?

~G

[BambiK7]

So when are we gonna see these pictures??? :eek:

[dancingdoll86]

I am still trying to get the photos scanned in...the ones I did at Kinko's didn't work right or I did it wrong. (Always a possibility!!) I found a scanner at CompUSA on sale, so I'll probably head there soon.....Evie's gonna kill me!

~G

[boingytig]

Gret--
Back to my natural color with a slight touch of blonde highlights on the top layers! And you're right, you will be at least seriously maimed! :D

[drunkpunk]

And yet again I say, Just a quick post? LOL. This by far is the most ongoing post in recent history. It's title is certainly missleading. I think, just going back to the original topic, that it is great to see so many people on this site, from so many generations and so many age groups. The eighties then must have truly rocked. Could there be any other explanation? I think not.
Luv ya all :D
P.S. Im 32 on Oktober 21st!!!!

[jen*]

Definately not just a quick poll anymore. Definately not. Def-Definately not. lol

[drunkpunk]

So, I think that this thread should become our blah blah blah post. I will be post #82 on here. I'd like to see if we can get this all the way too 100. It's silly I know. But It's something to do. So we should just hang out at this post and chat about whatever and see if we can break the 100 mark. I love this "JUST A QUICK POLL' column. I crack up everytime I see how many posts are on it and the tittle. HAHAHAHAHAHA. too funny.

Leilani here... 25 years old I don't feel a bit over 15 though. Some say I don't even look it either. Unfortunatly two years ago I got carded for asking for an application to work for a dollar store! UNBELIEVABLE! <img src="graemlins/confused2.gif" border="0" alt="[Confused 2]" />

[Ladyofthe80s]

Belated welcome Cheryllynn79, for a minute I thought you might be my cousin until I looked at the state you were posting from.

I love how this thread keeps going, and going...

I felt old at 23 when my nephew was born. 30 was a piece of cake by comparison. I love being in my 30's. I hear 40's are even better. Let you know when I get there, though I'm in no rush. LOL

I'm new. Posted a few tonight, but it's time for bed. Thought I'd add to this long list.

I turned 33 on March 4. Most people think I'm younger, but I feel older.

Hi, Im 21...One of the youngest I think...Because I was born in 1980....yes Im a CHIILD of the 80's
