Remember when flip flops were called thongs. My one daughter just looked at me like I was nuts. I told my other daughter to change out of the thongs before she went to baton lessons. Times have changed.

and when a screw was just a screw, and coke was something you drank...
-
and when you were down with something it was the flu

I drove truck for around 8-9 years OTR and when I was in training and we had our CB talk, a good buddy was a compliment to another driver. Now a good buddy is slang for aknowledging a gay man. Times have changed.

wow twirling is my love and both my daughters were not interested, not as popular as it used to be
have her learn at least two batons and she will always have an edge on the competition
and lighted batons are good for talent shows
fire baton also but they are better for outside

I had three twirling last year. My older one (17) quit. My twelve year old is awesome. Her group is competing in Wildwood New Jersey again this year. I can't go. I have first communion, confirmation and prom in the same weekend. I'll post the link for pictures when I find out what it is. She does two baton. She also has a fish tail solo and another solo. My 7 year old's group is too darn cute. I did the props for their show. It is Beauty and the Beast. I also painted the back drops for the older gorls. I love it all!

Anyone remember when only beatniks smoked maijuana?
-
Romona do you twirl ? it helped get me a college degree I still love to get my batons out I always thought fish tails were hard.
we rarely have twirlers at any of our football games we have flag teams but it is not like real twirling I still have my fire batons.
Stasie was more interested in basketball, Missy was more interested in drill team and dancing If my son would have shown any interest
in twirling my husband, the coach, would have sh*t.....I taught twirling as part of my job for years and loved every minute of it.
I was teaching in a junior high... It was exciting. I'd love to see photos and I would extremely love to see Beauty and the Beast.
Do you have any male twirlers and they are not gay.....Have you seen the twirlers on the internet. They show twirlers' tapes they
send to colleges for tryouts for scholarships. If you post your girls twirling, please let me know.
I remember when students could not wear either kind of thong to school.

Us Aussies still call them thongs :ausflag;

Okay, for those of us who can't spin a baton - what the heck is a fish tail?
And to keep from totally hijacking this post - "friends with benefits" used to mean someone you knew who was lucky enough to have a 401K. . .
-
friends with benefits :rofl; :clap; :rofl;

I will post pictures as soon as I can. I never twirled. We got into it by accident. My one daughter was too young for a jazz class (the 12 year old), so I said let's try baton I think she was 7 at the time. My older daughter was drafted when she was playing with a baton in the parking lot while we were waiting to get her sister from practice. My little one was always tagging along. So of course as soon as she was old enough she joined. We don't do parades. Just competitions. We compete in Tournament of Bands Chapter 11.
Hey, remember when we tried not to step on a crack (to protect our mother's backs) ? Now we have to worry about our kids smoking it.

In Hawai'i flip flops are called slippers -- I got in such a habit of calling them that - that when I got home no one had a clue what I was talking about.

Was going to post this, but thought it best to check one of our Aussies hadn't already done so. Thanks charee! :2thumbsup;

You Aussie girls should post pictures. The thread could be "See the Girls From Down Under in Thongs!". That would get a few guys wondering! :rofl;

I remember when 'gay' meant happy and 'bad' meant bad not good ..hehe

Thong underwear and swimwear is a style characterized by a thin strip of material along the center of the garment's rear designed to sit between the wearer's buttocks cheeks connecting the front or pouch to the waistband behind the wearer.[1] Thongs come in a variety of styles depending on the thickness, material, or type of this rear portion of fabric and are available for both men and women throughout the world. Thongs are similar to g-strings, the main difference being that thongs have more material between the legs and back whereas a g-string has less, usually an actual "string" of material. Retailer FreshPair defines thong as "An underwear style for both men and women with a thin fabric back that rests between the buttocks" whereas a g-string is "A panty with a very thin (string-like) band of fabric in the back. ??? I don't know what you all are talking about. >:D

All our female aussies are gorgeous and I'd love to see them in either kind ;) ;)
the males (well me anyway)... not so flash :)

I lived in Nice, France for a year and bought a "bikini" there. First of all it was hard to find one big enough to cover anything much and second of all girls seldom wore the top half so I thought they should have been called "monokinis" and cost half the money. I paid a small fortune for what amounted to one hankerchief with some string thrown in for free. Never had the nerve to wear it here.
-
Going back to the original matter....Remember when computers weren't around? When we actually played outside for HOURS and didn't come in until the streetlights came on?
-
Remember when a weed was a plant you didn't want, when a pot was something to cook with and mary jane was either a name or a style of shoe?
-
Remember when you gave a phone number by giving a word for the first two numbers? Growing up I was ALpine 6 or 256. This came up last year when I took a group of 20 somethings to one of my favorite local restaurants - West 5 which here in West Seattle was how you'd say 935. I was explaining it to them and they were looking at me like I had tulips growing out of my head. They all took out their phone to confirm that West 5 was in fact 935. Then we had a round of deciding what our numbers would be today.
My home phone would be West 8 but my cell phone hmmm ... 65 ... Olympic 0?
-
Remember when grass was something you dreaded to cut in the summer?
-
Remember when the big crime at school was running in the halls or chewing gum?
Oh for the good ole days.
I remember those phone numbers Bill. When I grew up we had a
phone number that started with Hickory.
Do you remember when pot was a pan?
-
My mom has had the same phone number for 54 years, but now it's all numbers. When I was a kid I thought we were so special because the prefix 347 stood for Diamond 7!
-
remember when you answered the phone you had to talk to bill collectors
caller ID, a bill collector's nightmare
-
We had a party line. That meant more than one neighbor shared the same phone line and could listen in. We also had three TV stations. An NBC, CBS and PBS.
-
Remember when rabbit ears were tv antennae.
-
And rabbit's feet were lucky key chains.
-
Hey, remember when we tried not to step on a crack (to protect our mother's backs) ?
When I picked my son up from school the other day, he and a few other boys were actually doing that! I was so glad they still do it!
Remember when the only time you could see cartoons on TV was Saturday mornings and the only time you got to play video games was by paying a quarter at the pizza place?
-
We had a party line too.
-

rofl. Thankfully, for the wellbeing of the population as a whole, I do not own a thong, at least not that type. :shy;
I do have the ones you put on your feet.
-
Remember penny candy.
Or when you could let your children play outside without worry.
-
We played outside as children, it would be nice if kids today could do the same. We'd be out for hours on end - my sister, me, our dalmatian, a bike and a skateboard. I don't think our parents knew exactly where we were half the time, but they DID know we were within the vicinity of the block that our house was on (we wouldn't dare sneak away - never even occurred to us actually).
-
Good Lord! We sound like old people. :rofl;
-
Remember when government wasn't so into legislating common sense? (Or maybe people just weren't so stupid...that's probably it)

So true, the baby boomers will be the last generation to know that freedom, what caused everyone after us to have to suffer. Pick any thing a child/teenager wants or needs to do and someone has legislated a law... ::) Boxman

I agree. I remember one day one of my daughters came home from school and said a boy kissed her. We should have sued. She was 5.

Will she be in therapy for the rest of her youth?

We used the run the hills behind and in front of our house in Escondido. We lived about a mile under the Bear rock out there. Right above the country Club golf course. When Mom wanted us she would send the dog out for us.

I think she is fine. She's getting straight "A's". If she turns out to be like Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan I will be sure to discuss the traumatic events of her youth with Dr. Phil while we are on Oprah. :rofl; :rofl;

:sarcasm; :rofl;

Rob and I were driving home from dinner with our son tonight. He was planning on going outside when we got home to play. I said I remember when that's all we did was play outside, we never went in the house unless we had to. I also said the internet wasn't around back then and he was shocked. I said we didn't have these elaborate video game systems either, Atari was just coming out when I was 12 or so. He wondered what we did. I said we played outside in the summer and played games, read or watched a little bit of tv in the winter. I said we only had 1 tv and again he was shocked. I told him we didn't have to worry about strangers as much, everybody looked out for each other. He thought for a bit and then said he wished it was like that now. I said you have no idea how much I wsh that too!

that type of swim suit was once described to me as a "suitless bathing strap" but we were originally talking about summer shoes held on the foot with a piece that went between the toes. but then i always called them "flip flops"

Sluff I never heard about the Good Buddy thing! I feel old too...

Expressions like "a quarter to" and "half past" have faded into the sunset...

That's one change that really makes me sad. When I was a kid we ran wild everywhere without fear. Of course it's still like that where I'm living now -- it's a tiny island and kids don't have to worry about strangers because they know absolutely everyone. Last year a cougar swam over and for a few weeks the kids here got to experience life as city kids live it -- escorted by adults everywhere.
Which reminds me: remember when a cougar was a wild animal?
-
In Michigan, they still are wild. The question here is "Remember when the DNR didn't believe anyone when they spotted one?" For years, the Department of Natural Resouces insisted that cougars were extinct in Michigan and that people were just seeing large bobcats. A few years ago, one of the DNR team saw one and took pictures - changed some tunes around here! How dumb did they think we all were, that we couldn't tell a 40 pound bobcat from a 100+ pound mountain lion?
Here kitty,kitty!
