there are things on that list that make me cringe.


and, scary thought (!!), what are we going to do when we read something like that in 15 years about the 2000s?

Wow, now I feel old....I did/remember most of the stuff on that list...


Is it wrong that I have NKOTB songs as mp3's and occasionally listen to them?

I remember all of those too!


By the way, I kicked a** at Oregon Trail. The secret was to have a lot of kids so it didn't matter when they died of cholera. Oh, and don't shoot more than 1 buffalo.

"Stop, girl before you break my heart"

"Remember when we said girl, please don't go. And how I'd be loving you forey-ey-ey-eyver. Taught you 'bout hangin' tough, as long as you got the right stuff. Didn't we girl? Ooo-ooh. Didn't we girl? Ahh-ahh. Tonight-ight-ight..."

LOL

I can relate to every single one of those, except for I didn't want to be Jem from Jem in the rockers, I wanted to be Kimber, her guitar playing bandmate!

I am laughing so hard at all of this! I remember EVERYTHING on the list. I went to a NKOTB concert once. At the time, I thought it was a kick-a** show. I got this HUGE button (I'm talking 4" or 5" in diameter) that said NKOTB and had a picture of all of them on it. I wish I still had that....hee, hee, hee......

I also had the NKOTB trading cards.  Anyone remember those?  There were 88 cards and 11 stickers, so 99 total.  I had 91 out of the 99.  I actually hope I still have them, but I'm afraid I might have thrown them away awhile ago...
