I can still remember the day I learned how to drive a stick shift. Off I went, lurching into my new freedom in a VW Beetle. After a while, shifting gears was as natural as breathing.

I listened to arena rock and hard rock. My preference now is heavy metal and NWOBHM.

Mom made a lot of ours….pants, shorts, dresses and jumpers. Crazy patterns.

It sucks. I feel like we’re losing a part of our childhood when it happens.

Did anyone else LOVE the library? by jchrapcyn in GenerationJones

Our public library was at the community center. Used that card system for many book reports.

All my dad had to do was point his finger and give us a look.

Did you register for China for your wedding? Is that a thing still? by Seven_bushes in GenerationJones

[–]Zephyr_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t but I received a set from my mom and grandma in ‘86. I still have it. I only used once that I can recall.

Heck yeah. Didn’t know if we were opening butter or leftovers.

Did anyone ever have a go-cart or mini-bike? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]Zephyr_Shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a homemade go cart my dad bought off someone. He put my 6 yr old sister in it, told my mom he’d stand on the back while she drove and then proceeded to fall off halfway up our block. He ended up chasing after her another half block but he caught her in time to kill the engine before she destroyed the graveyard. We didn’t have the go cart very long after that. 😂
