The 80s just had a vibe. I miss them so much. No other decade felt the same way.
I'm proud to still have a sewing machine and a recipe box in my house. Some things shouldn't phase out.

[Nunofurdambiznez]

Was in my 20s in the 1980s.. wouldn't trade a single MINUTE of that entire decade for ANYTHING!! Some of the best years of my life were spent having lots of fun in the '80s!

Married in 1980. My kids were born 82, 84, 86 and 90. The 80s were my decade of young motherhood and being a wife. Still happily married. And btw, not only do I have a sewing machine, I use it frequently and not just to mend things.

I wish I could go back to the 80s and relive every moment and appreciate every day with my mother now that she is in a nursing home with dementia I keep playing back my childhood

What I wouldn't give to go back to the 1980's and undo a lot of the decisions I made back then.

The encyclopedias didn't get outdated too quick because, every year, a yearbook was sent out to owners . It updated the set with new current "discoveries" and such.

[ryankenyon]

It's weird seeing a piece of my life in a historic context.

[galenwest]

Turned 18 in 1984 and loved the ‘80’s. The girls hair, the rock bands hair, me having hair. 😂

I still have my popcorn ceiling. 80's are hands down, the best decade ever... As far as the long phone cords... OMG.. I didn't know anyone who didn't have one that could span three rooms. Hilarious to think about that now.

[leesashriber]

I miss the eighties! That was the decade!! ❤️ Thank you for the trip down memory lane. So many great times 😊

The world book encyclopedia was my introduction into everything science and space age in the 70s and 80s. I credit my grandparents for keeping those books current for me and my dad. Seriously, my knowledge of trivia is directly tied to those books I read over and over again.

[PBryanMcMillin]

I was in my 20s in the 80s, so I was young and broke. My place was full of thrift store furniture and appliances. For, at least, the first half of the 80s my place looked more like a cross between the 60s ;and 70s. My 1970s La Machine was my prized kitchen appliance. I still have it and it still works great.

[bridgetmccracken]

I still have a recipe box 🙂. Thank you for this fun look back

[skipper]

Born in 75, the 80’s were THE BEST. I’d go back in a nanosecond! Man I miss those days.

[jasonwomack]

As a child in the 80's I learned some of the best vulgarities, while watching my dad and his friend install a garage door opener.

[miriambucholtz]

I had a sewing machine then and made all our clothes. We couldn't have afforded them otherwise, and my workmanship was better than the stuff in stores. I still have a sewing machine, which I use.

[nikkitronic]

I grew up in the 80’s. Born 1980. We had every single thing mentioned here in my family home. Popcorn ceiling, floor to ceiling mirrors, sewing machine, cane chairs, big tv on the floor, even that exact same wallpaper with the brightly colored tulips, all of it!

[Fuzzy_Spork]

My dad gave me a word processor typewriter when I started college in 1988. You could type out an entire sentence on the little screen, check it for typos, then "print" it on the page. I can't say that really saved any time, maybe paper 😅, but I used it for every assignment and essay. Loved that thing!

[wmalden]

I love my popcorn ceilings (sparkles in the living and dining rooms). Never need painting. Deaden sound. Hide dirt. They still look great after 55 years. I also have Formica counters, carpet and wallpaper. I could care less if my house is “dated”.

[tailsoluv]

My family didn't have funds for Encyclopedia Britannica, so in the early 1960s they purchased a set of Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedias one a week from our local A&P.
