Ah yes, back before the illegal alien problem. Back when V8 Vegas and V8 Chevy Luv pickups were still seen on the road... when every man could change a flat tire, and nobody carried their camera phone around. Back when kids rode their bicycles all over until dinner, then out again in the street to play catch. Not many fat kids back then, and each one knew which bathroom to use.

[@Johnnyboy792]

Ahh the good old days :):):)

[@susanlester1]

Truth!

[@kathcasey2090]

I was with you up until the last sentence. "Not many fat kids back then, and each one knew which bathroom to use." I was a tweeny in '76, I never thought I would make it past 35 years old. Because 35 was really old. And now I'm a great grand mother with a gay child. And I can't imagine what that's like, let alone back then. That your attitude is still prevalent sickens me.

[@Ravennwing]

What a fantastic year! Movies that are eternal and music that was right behind them. And finally, Barry Manilow!! Yes, yes, I was the ONLY person in my eighth grade class who enjoyed Barry Manilow or, perhaps, the only one who admit it! Many of the movies in this vid I have in my collection. Life was just so much...SO much nicer, back then.

Rocky was a big topic of discussion at school. Most of the kids thought he should have gotten the decision and won the fight.
