You might be a child of the seventies if...

[BrianB]

You remember buying 8-tracks
You owned leisure suits
You watched the moon landing
You had a radar range instead of a microwave oven
You watched the Monkees on TV.
You remember when tv shows said "In Living Color"
You watched live TV without tape delay.
People walked over to the TV to change channel

[Vanessa White]

had posters of David Cassidy on your wall;
favorite shows may have been Starsky and Hutch, The Rookies, Partridge Family, and the Waltons;
Barbie and Ken were still together, Barbie was still anatomically incorrect, Ken had a beard, and they got their first Country Camper;
tried to play records backwards for the hidden messages;
heard the rumors first hand about Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper, and what they supposedly did at concerts;
knew Bonnie Raitt's music before she was a pop artist;
wore Levi's only, and wranglers were totally uncool;
still had music, art, and home ec in high school for every student.

I remember walking across the room to the TV to change the channel!! I remember when getting cable was exciting, and you had that box with the buttons sitting on top of the TV set.

I thought Barbie and Ken WERE together?

My school required music, art, home ec, and "industrial arts" =woodshop. For everyone.

...was the ONLY high-schooler who DIDN'T wear bell bottoms and platforms...(always a few years behind the fashion...)

Alas! Barbie and Ken have split up, not too long ago.

Barbie is bisexual and has finally accepted herself. She is now dating Christy but is sometimes seen with Teresa, although they insist they are only friends.

Ken of course has finally come out as the proud gay man we all knew he was inside. He remains quiet about his love life, but says he is happy and wouldn't change a thing.

Skipper is still young as ever and in support of her bisexual sister and gay ex-brother in law, she is the president of her school's Gay-Straight Alliance Club.

Oh wait, that's just my dolls' story......

... or you taped pennies to the arm of your record player.
... and played OUTSIDE because there were no video games ...

...or you actually used a slide rule in high school. Calculators were too expensive.

Just for the record. I think I looked downright cool in bellbottoms.
And I do remember my sister having posters of David Cassidy, the Osmonds and Bobby Sherman on her bedroom walls. (I thought those guys were pretty hot actually.) :rolleyes:

Oooooh, I had a big secret crush on Davie Jones and was jealous when Marcia Brady got a kiss from him.

Oh dear - I used one because they didn't have calculators yet - just adding machines. Or was that an abacus?

The main reason I know I'm a child of the (very, very early) 70's is because there are about three years I just don't remember. Oh yes, and then there's the trails ...
