tiger beat was the best!
it was very coveted among my friends because the air base exchange only got so many copies and you had to get there early to get one.

Tiger Beat, 16, Teen Beat, 17 - you know where my allowance went. I'd take my weekly dollar and go to 7-Eleven and get one mag., candy bar and a soda.

I remember saving my pennies to buy albums
I saved forever to buy George Harrison's All Things Must Pass set. Cost a fortune, something like $20.00

Did we already talk about patches on jeans and jean jackets?
Anyways, that's where the rest of my money went. Buying patches...

If I had a birthday or there was a 5th Saturday in a month, I'd go spend my dollar buying the latest 45 record. They cost $1.05 with tax and my dad would always give me the lecture about money not growing on trees when I asked for that extra nickel.

I had a girlfriend named Julie who loved Bobby Sherman and then when he came out with Julie, Do You Love Me? I thought she would lose her mind.

45's were great! I had one of those "fancy" stereos where you could put a stack of 20 on it to play.

I could put a lot on mine, but I couldn't do 20.
I used to have to do extra chores so that about once a month I could go to Radio Shack and buy a new needle for my record player. Radio Shack was about a mile away and I walked there and back.

LOL
I didn't wear jumpsuits, but my dad had an entire wardrobe of them
My day was jeans...and uh...jeans - ones with about a 2" zipper and so long they got frayed from wear - topped with bubble shirts or halter tops.

I didn't go to the store to buy Tiger Beat - I had a subscription. I kept 6 years back issues for a long time, but they finally got in the way, so I threw them out. Watch them we worth something some day!
Yes, I had the step-in jumpsuits & had to iron on the letters to my last name on the back. Gosh, I hated those things. Well, I guess they were ugly so the guys wouldn't stare at us! Remember playing cricket dodgeball in them!
I've still got some of my 45s. I'm missing those little plastic pieces that go in the center (what were those things called?) so I can't play them on my record player.
See, I'm one of those people that physically has to SEE my music. I don't think I could ever get into using an iPod & downloading songs. Just too strange for me.

They were called adapters, oddly enough. You can buy them here. The turntable that plugs into my computer that I got for Christmas came with one.

Mimeograph worksheets!
Oh my! I remember smelling our test papers before we wrote on them.
I graduated in 1972, and I remember that too. Not sure when mimeograph became a thing of the past.
How about The Waltons? Now there was a family!
memographs probably went out because of the popularity of Zerox!
You were a 70's kid if you remember:
Mork and Mindy
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Muppet Show
Sesame Street
The Electric Company
Roller Skates With Keys
Walkie Talkies
K-tel albums.

Guilty of that one myself.
