forThose of Us Over 40 Years Old...

In summary, DS brought home a toy today from Grandmas that belonged to DH. It was two hard balls, each on the end of a long string that you bounce together and it makes that "clackety" sound. They are called clackers.

This is so fun i love going down memory lane (loved the 80's).
My first concert was Shaun Cassidy and then Adam Ant (lol) for some reason I thought he was cute in a differnt kind of way. I think my first and probably 1/2 of everone elses Idol was Elvis. When I was younger and had a chance to go to 2 of his concerts I will never forget that.

I used to LOVE Adam Ant but I preferred him when he was Adam and the Ants. I think I had all of his albums (yes, albums) including some that weren't released in the US. LOL!

I loved Shaun Cassidy! One day my mom came home with a People Magazine and Shaun was on the cover...I put it right under my pillow so at night I could dream of him. And I think I was 10 or 11, so don't ruin my innocent love of Shaun...

Funny you should mention Shaun, I was channel surfing on the car radio this afternoon and stopped on a soft-rock station for a while. They were playing Shaun Cassidy singing Da-Doo-Run-Run....I thought of this thread. Brought back some fun memories.

I was pretty ga-ga over Shaun, but Andy was my man.....I was in college (in AUBURN~WAR EAGLE) and driving to my then boyfriends house when I heard on the radio that he had dies. I had to pull over I was crying so hard! And when I got to the boyfriends house, he thought someone I actually knew had died.....well, in a way he was someone I knew~:cry: :cry:
