Thanks Diane! 🥰

[@80srob65]

You and your husband are one of the 80s channels that have inspired my channel. I was born in 89, I grew up in the 90s. but having an older brother 7 years older, I grew up on so much 80s stuff from movies, music, cartoons, toys etc. So im 80s obsessed as well. Right now I only have my trailer uploaded. But great stuff is coming up. Thanks for being one of the inspirations for my channel!!!. LONG LIVE THE 80S!!!.

[@Our80sLife]

That's AWESOME, thanks Rob!! We're happy to be an inspiration for you and wish you success on your new KZbin channel. Your trailer is great, and we've subscribed. All the best, Abby & Keith

[@80srob65]

@@Our80sLife Oh wow. I wasn't expecting you to subscribe. Wow, thank you. Yeah bit long of a trailer, but I had to explain why someone like me who grew up in the 90s would love the 80s so much, if anyone get's confused. But it's kind of hard to explain, I just identify with it. Haha.Yeah It's going to be fun. It really doesn't matter to me if it's successful or not. it's just a personal page for me, and everyone is invited to enjoy it. Anyway, look forward to more of your videos guys!!!. In the words of bill and ted "Be excellent to each other and... PARTY ON DUDES"!!!

[@Wild1995]

Ziggy was so big in the early 80s. That one was in such good condition

[@Our80sLife]

I still love Ziggy, what a cutie! Thanks for stopping by our channel!

[@Mark.Watson]

Great finds. Yes, I'd like to see some 80's cooking. Maybe start with the book you just got.

[@Our80sLife]

Sounds good! Thanks Mark!

[@RetroManMike]

Great haul! I think cooking videos would be awesome.

Thank you Abby for sharing a your new treasures. My favorites are the DALLAS-book und the Garfield alarm clock.

[@Our80sLife]

Hey there Bernhard, thanks for watching! The Dallas book was an exciting find... can't believe I spotted in in a HUGE pile of books, yay! I might've squealed when I saw it, lol!

[@jessicaarnold4028]

You always find the cutest things! Thanks for showing them to us!

[@carriebay]

Omg the choose the adventure books!! Kids were loving those books in 2nd grade in 1991

[@Our80sLife]

Oh yes!! Those books are so clever and fun! I'm always on the hunt for more! Thanks for watching my video CarrieAnn!

[@chrisman3965]

Love the haul, especially the CYOA books. I read so many of those growing up.

[@Our80sLife]

Me too! We might need to read one on our podcast and see if we still enjoy them. Thanks Chris 😊

[@julieh9010]

Wow you found so many awesome treasures. I loved the Smurfs record. I had the same one on cassette tape. I love everything you found. Thanks for sharing.

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Julie! I’m surprised I didn’t have the Smurfs record or tape as a kid. I love the Smurfs! 💙

[@NaturalCleanHome]

You had a lot of really good finds! I like your vinyl addition, ziggy, and Garfield. Very rare items... I'm happy for you!😊

[@Our80sLife]

Oh wow, thanks! I’m headed back out tomorrow for more thrifting, yay! Must admit… it’s kinda addicting!

[@JennsRetro]

I would be interested to see some 80’s meals that maybe we don’t know about these days?

[@Our80sLife]

Got it, thanks!!

[@JennsRetro]

Love the show Dallas! Thank you guys for talking about it 😊

[@Our80sLife]

Oh girl, Dallas is our favorite show! We have a full playlist of Dallas videos, but I never get tired of talking about it, lol! Thanks for watching!

[@cherylandsteve573]

Some items, wish I still had from 80's - my parents still have my yellow radio in there garage lol, works Great!

[@Our80sLife]

Wow! As I’ve been helping my parents clean out their basement, occasionally I find some of my old treasures too. There are some items I wish we’d kept though.

[@joyfulnoise349]

A cooking series would be fun to watch!

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks! Time to start planning some 80s-themed meals!

[@TheSmilingTabbyStickers]

I’d love to see an 80s cooking video!! My mom used to host decadent dinner parties in the 80s. I remember clams casino and baked Alaska!!

[@Our80sLife]

Oooh fancy! 😋

[@gardendormouse6479]

I remember chocolate mouse was a popular dessert back then. We made it in Home Ec.

[@Our80sLife]

@@gardendormouse6479 Yum! I love chocolate mousse, but I’ve never tried making it before. 😋

[@nagarcia76]

Do you ever wonder if stuff you buy was actually yours back in the day? Like that book!!

[@Our80sLife]

Lol! I would probably think about that if we still lived in Dallas, but I’d be surprised if my actual stuff made it here (we live in Kansas now.)

[@nagarcia76]

I had a Simon game. Remember that?

[@Our80sLife]

Yes!! I was never very good at it, but that’s a fun game.

[@CallieandJordanSquad]

After school cooking haha to funny. Keith get ready for some radical lunches to take to work in the next few weeks lol. Yes 80’s cooking videos we want that. I think I remember the first choose your adventure books.

Fabulous haul! I especially love all the McDonalds toys 💖💖

[@Our80sLife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@btetschner]

I was not aware that the Brass Armadillo was a chain store. My previous roommate and I used to often go to the one in Omaha, Nebraska.

[@Our80sLife]

Me neither! It looks like there’s one in Kansas City too, which is where our daughter lives. We’ll definitely have to check it out!

[@CallieandJordanSquad]

Love the clock and the cooler is super cool. Never played inner circle but it seems like a cool game

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks for watching! It’s a fun game, would totally recommend if you ever happen to see it.

[@FlintandSteelSurvival]

One day you are going to look back and regret passing on the shoulder pad bundle. Hahaha excellent haul my friend! Just cleaned my grandma's house out you'd have had a hay day!

[@Our80sLife]

Those shoulder pads, LOL!! I just love estate sales because you literally never know what you'll find lurking in somebody else's house, especially in the basement! It's so interesting to see what people have chosen to keep and store. I'm sure you found some fun stuff at grandma's house.

[@gmanandhislady]

Such AWESOME finds!

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Kristy! 😊

[@Seiferboi]

Those items are awesome! My faves are the Smurfs record and Garfield clock! I recently got a landline phone, which I think is actually from 1978, but I had it in the 80s. The original one is probably around the house somewhere. It's cool because it has woodgrain sides and top, plus it's a clock and am/fm radio combo!

[@Our80sLife]

Oh wow, that does sound neat! I don't remember phones with a built-in radio, but I'm sure I would've totally wanted something like that too!

[@Seiferboi]

@@Our80sLife I finally figured out what it's called. It's the Clock Radio Telephone 7-4700, in case you're wondering what it looks like.

[@hoagie1978]

Cool Haul.....I also collect 70's and 80's vinyl. I have th SNF soundtrack in my collection too. I use to wear that out when i was a kid and picked up another copy in recent years...it is definitely worth more than what you paid for it. The books will be a lot of fun to read....those cook books scream 80's. I would have be around 9 or 10 when those were released. The kids on the cover look like they stepped off the set of Kids Incorporated or Silver Spoons.....LOL

[@Our80sLife]

Awesome, thanks!! I'm already loving the SNF record, it's so iconic and I love the Bee Gees! Oh yes, you're right about Kids Incorporated, lol! I think I have a couple of videos of my friends and I cooking back in the 80's - I should probably try tracking those down!

[@bigalcincinnatikidadventur7692]

I remember seeing that Garfield Clock when I was a kid, and as big of a Garfield Fan as I am, I wish I did, LOL!!! I'm actually trying to get the original doll again!!! I actually have the original Saturday Night Fever Record, and believe it or not, I actually met John Travolta when he was in Cincy filming the movie Gotti. He was a nice guy, but I wish I brought the album with me for him to sign, but I did get a photo with him and his late wife!!!

[@Our80sLife]

It's funny how we're buying back our childhood stuff (or things we wished we'd had back then!) That's SO cool that you met John Travolta and Kelly Preston (RIP - she was a beautiful lady.)

[@sharonm.t.2492]

Great stuff! All of it. I used to have that Disney's chilling sounds of Halloween 🎃 album. I recognized it right as I saw it. So cool that you found that Scavenger Hunt by C. Pike book that was in your old video. Yes! 👏

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks Sharon! Yes, that book was a major score for me... especially since the newer releases of his books have redesigned cover art (which isn't nearly as cool as the originals, in my opinion.) We haven't listened to the Halloween records yet, but I think my younger self would've loved it too!!

[@btetschner]

Great haul! I especially liked the Garfield alarm clock, Nickelodeon lunch box, Inner Circle game..... The fact that you found the same book in that video AND also the same board game on your list is to Santa is crazy. Also, I am a Heathcliff fan and am surprised you found anything related to that, there are hardly any items out related to him. It is so cool you had Patsy Swayze as a teacher!

[@Our80sLife]

Thanks so much! I think after scouring estate sales weekly for several years, I’ve developed a keen eye for 80s treasures, ha! 🤣

[@btetschner]

@@Our80sLife Keep your eye open for: x Pickle Things by Marc Brown (book) x Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark (1981, unless you don't like scary stories) Both 80's books

[@btetschner]

Oh, also....have you ever seen the Dino Riders toys? I don't know how they became overlooked, they are legendary toys. (It might be a genre you aren't interested in).

[@Our80sLife]

@@btetschner OMG! I just bought Scary Stories at the last sale I went to on Friday! I loved those books too! I don’t recall ever seeing Dino-Riders, but now I’ll be on the lookout. 🦖Thanks!

Wow, I didn't know that you met Patsy Swayze! That was awesome, Abby! I was born in 1985 on December 13th. And I will let you know what I want for my birthday.

[@Our80sLife]

Very cool! I don't have any of the small ones, but they must be adorable. Have fun!!

[@btetschner]

Idea for two other channels: x Finding certain meaningful items through thrift routes (Salvation Army, Goodwill, garage sales, estate sales, flea markets, craigslist, facebook markets, etc.) x A Swap Meet channel - Explanation: By swap meet, I mean to actually swap items. a.) This tradition has been devalued over times because people have been too lazy to swap items and just would rather pay money for them. b.) A swap meet is also not a flea market, two terms in which people have been using interchangeably. Those channels have the potential to establish two valuable traditions (which are very practical).

[@Our80sLife]

You're right. Around here, a "swap meet" is usually a flea market (often outdoors.) I guess we've never been to an actual one. Sometime we need to actually film our shopping expeditions. Most of the time it's either too crowded or I'm busy shopping and just forget, ha!

Hello I know this is way of topic but I have been wanting to grown sea monkeys for the longest time I have been studying about them so I can get them then I heard if Packet 4 Plasma 7 and my question is do you need it so is it optional or do you need it and if you do need it do you have any suggestions where to buy some?

[@Our80sLife]

Hi there! Plasma III is optional, but we’ve had good luck using it with our Sea Monkeys. We have a video about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqKuhHaFjMxkfLs It can be purchased from the Sea Monkeys official website.
