HA! I love that Lloyd Bentsen clip best of all. I remember seeing it live and laughing and laughing! That was the first presidential election I was really into.

I don't remember voting in 1984. We registered at 18 in my current events class, and I would have been 1 day over 20 on election day 1984. Maybe I did, I must have, I think I thought I was republican...due to one of my favorite teachers (same CE class) getting us involved in an event for Rocky Saxbe.

I still have a picture of me finishing a 10k race with my Saxbe shirt on!

Having a conversation with a guy in his early 20s today. We are discussing the limits on what I do and do not allow my children and stepchildren to do on the internet. I tell him I'm not a fan of young teens being on Facebook.

He says to me, "I guess your parents didn't let you be on Facebook either, huh?"

Really, dude? Really. I snort and tell him there was no Facebook when I was a teen, there was only barely an internet at all.

He says, "Wow, so they were really strict, huh?"

Really.
