3136	Article	Vaporman87	Such a great article, and a great subject for one. It's crazy to think that, even with the catering to smokers going on in the 80's, it's nothing compared to the way smoking was treated in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. Smoking was just cool and no big health issue then. By the 80's, we were pretty well caught up on the dangers of smoking. Yet it still held a firm grip on the market. Comparing that to today, there has been a definite progression. And thank goodness for that! No more smoke-filled restaurants and bowling alleys. No more need to ask the guy in front of you to put please put out his cig. Yes, smoking is pretty frowned upon by today's society... and I am glad of that. That isn't to say that smoking doesn't still affect us though. Especially here in hillybilly central, smoking is a big thing. I go into the gas station every morning and I am almost guaranteed to be standing behind somebody buying their daily dose of carcinogenic sticks. We may not SEE it as much, but the addictions are still ever present.		Dec 01, 2015

3134	Article	pikachulover	Those gumball machines and novelty phones were usually a prize on those 80s and early 90s kids game shows like Double Dare. My family didn't have any of those things. My aunt had a clear phone and another cousin on my other side of the family had one. When I was a kid I always wanted a gumball machine.	3 Essential 80s Home Decor Items	Nov 28, 2015

3131	Article	Vaporman87	Well, I wasn't as desperate as you when it came to snack foods. We had plenty usually stashed in the pantry in the kitchen. But that doesn't mean I was not guilty of food thievery. Truth be told, I was guilty of it in an "against the law" way! See, once, while my mom and I were in a local department store (the mom and pop kind, not the big retailer kind), I took it upon myself to try my hand at theft. Yup. I snuck a candy bar into my pocket and made it out of there with it. All the way home actually. Then, when I foolishly (and perhaps, over-confidently) munched away on my spoils, my mom asked me where the candy had come from. I wasn't going to lie. I'm guessing I felt so much guilt over having just committed theft, that lying on top of that would just push me to the next logical step of joining a gang and shooting people. So I chose to fess up. I was then spanked, forced to call the sweet little old lady at the department store, and apologize to her through my tears. She graciously forgave me, and life was well again. Needless to say, I NEVER stole anything EVER again. LOL	Confessions: The Snack Burglar	Nov 23, 2015
3130	Article	Vaporman87	Surprisingly, we never owned a single one of these items. That's right. I was totally deprived of these. In fact, I don't even know of any friends who owned any of these items. Man, how did I even survive? LOL Nowadays you can even own a miniature "claw game" for your home. The kids get a kick out of that... until they get tired of always "winning" items that they already owned.	3 Essential 80s Home Decor Items	Nov 23, 2015
