ANY 30 SOMETHING's OUT THERE?

YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...
You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one
sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.
You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down
with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.
You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually
worked.
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket.
You even owned roller skates with metal wheels.
You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (Admit it!)
You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.
You had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days - remember Moon boots (you then
advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80's)
You had either a 'bowl cut' or 'pixie,' not to mention the Dorothy Hamill'
because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic when people
thought you were a boy.
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.
You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded
outfits.
You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.
You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
You even had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole &
the buckle).
You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House
on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least
one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!
You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink.
Your hairstyle was described as having 'wings' and you kept it 'pretty' with
the comb you kept in your back pocket.
You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry
Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
You carried a Muppets lunch box to school.
You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was
your boyfriend.
Every now and then 'It's a Hard Knock Life' from the movie, 'Annie' will pop
into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too.
It was a big event in your household each year when the 'Wizard of Oz' would
come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
You even asked your Magic-8 ball the question: 'Who will I marry. Shaun
Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?'
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame
soundtrack albums.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's
eyes of those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
You made Shrinky-Dinks!
You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape
player up to the speaker.
You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered
books from the Weekly Reader book club.
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume
books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)
You thought Olivia Newton John's song 'Physical' was about aerobics.
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or
rainbow designs.
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.
You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL OF THE OTHER 30-SOMETHING (or not quite yet 30)
GIRLS YOU KNOW! IT WILL MAKE THEM SMILE TOO!!!!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
