| 3309 | Article | massreality | My brother and I had a bunk bed that was pretty cool. It was wooden, and didn't have that colorful look like the images of the ones above, but you could actually unstack the beds into single twin beds. So, when we got older, my dad was able to provide us each with our own beds for our rooms. Still, I would have traded in my bunk beds for a race car bed any day of the week. I wanted one of them so bad. | Feb 03, 2016 |  | |
| 3342 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @DirtyD79 That car mechanic role play sounds awesome, I never would have come up with that as a kid. | Bunk Beds | Feb 10, 2016 | |
| 3533 | Article | DirtyD79 | @Hoju Koolander My father's an auto body technician so I probably got the idea from watching him working on cars. I also remember we had this plastic set of toy tools and me and my bro liked to use the saw on this one old wooden table because it made some neat sounds like "oi oo oi oo" Maybe it's not so much I was RPing as my own dad as much as me and my bro were some really destructive little brats as kids lol. | Bunk Beds | Apr 30, 2016 | |
| 3283 | Article | Vaporman87 | This was a part of childhood I never experienced (for which I am grateful, actually). It would have been very difficult for me if I had, being a very shy and introverted kid who was also short. Probably the closest experience I could have had to this would have been my first year in high school (which, as I have previously mentioned elsewhere here at RD, was actually my 7th grade year... since there was no "middle school" in my school district. 7th graders and Seniors walked the same halls in my school). That was a bit of an awkward struggle for us all, being so young and trying to find our place amongst these high schoolers. No, I needed the stability and familiarity in my youth. Even though my status in school wasn't exactly what one would like, it was enough for me to get by without too much bullying/humiliation/etc., and I even managed to be acceptable enough to be on friendly terms with some whose status was much higher than mine. I made it work, somehow. To have to give that up and start anew... that would have crushed me, I think. I'm glad you made the most of it Hoju. My hats off to you. | Being The New Kid | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3284 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | I've been where you've been Hoju, and much like you I embraced the change. I moved out of state in the summer right before the start of 9th Grade, AKA the start of High School. I had spent my entire life up until that point in the same area I was born in. It wasn't as big of a move as California to New Jersey, but it was still a change, one of which was happening right before I started one of the most important stages of life. However, I embraced the change. I hated where I went to school growing up. I was picked on for a variety of reasons throughout middle school and parts of elementary. My 7th grade year was one of the worst years of my life. During that year I got into fights more often with those who picked on me, spent a lot of time in the principals office for those fights, and hated getting up in the morning to go to school. I'm guessing that year among other reasons was what drove my parents to move out of state. I ended up enjoying the move. I made new friends and was actually happy to get up in the morning to go to school. I'm was glad to read this article and learn of another story like mine. | Being The New Kid | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3285 | Article | pikachulover | It think it depends on where you live in California. Were I went to school junior high was from 6th-8th grade. But there was this strange limbo where you could choose to be at the elementary school up until 8th grade. | Being The New Kid | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 3281 | Article | Vaporman87 | Short but sweet. I don't recall this show at all. But the concept seems pretty solid. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, TDitH. | Long Lost 90's: Eyewitness | Jan 19, 2016 | |
| 5736 | Article | RetroOtaku620 | I love watching both eyewitness and amazing animals as a kid. I really wish I owned at least one video tape for each of those shows as a kid. Heck, I wish I owned some video tapes of those shows now! | Long Lost 90's: Eyewitness | Sep 03, 2023 | |
| 3292 | Article | Vaporman87 | I knew that I enjoyed the song, but don't recall much about the video, despite the fact that I was a huge music video watcher when this video first came out (on both MTV and Friday Night Videos). I love that you have brought this to our attention. It gives us another glimpse at what we thought life might be like in "the future" back in the 80's (even predating BTTF's version of our time by about 6 years). What was it about "the future" that made us instinctively envision a lack of color (silver everything)? | Rick Springfield’s futuristic ‘Human Touch’ video takes place in 2016 | Jan 24, 2016 | |
| 3294 | Article | OldSchool80s | @Vapor Glad you enjoyed it! All predictions of future fashion were so far off whether you look at BTTF or any other futuristic film like Demolition Man. Rick definitely was right about the computers taking over music-making not to mention our day-to-day lives. | Rick Springfield’s futuristic ‘Human Touch’ video takes place in 2016 | Jan 24, 2016 | |
