Subtitles didnt exist then did they? he he he ... you said subtitles.... he he he... I only liked one Alice Cooper song and I cant for the life of me think of what it was... It was later in his career. I loved Mork and Mindy... I was very young but I remember it. Nanu Nanu...

You didn't mention how well I sang and danced to the 80's tunes last night in my delirium from medication. I thought you were laughing because you were so impressed with my talent for song and dance. You were really just laughing because it was funny. John and I had Christine laughing last night as we danced to 80's tunes. My excuse was medication induced craziness. I don't know what his excuse was. Just crazy, I guess. It was fun none the less. I really wanted a pair of tight pants with an oversized shirt and leg warmers. That would have really completed my routine. I needed some winged hair too. And blue eye shadow and mascara and hot pink lipstick. Melissa

Oh yes... you ROCKED the joint. Sounded just like Aretha... () Just kidding... I had loads of fun watching yall be crazy... Ill have to get yall to do that out in public sometime... Too funny. Your foyer is the perfect place to do the Tom Cruise dance move from Risky Business. We should do a skit.. HAHA... Wouldnt that be funny... Remake all our favorite 80s scenes.. That would be a hoot. John doesnt have an excuse.. he is just like that... thats normal behavior for him... haha... I almost peed on myself ya know when he scared the crap out of me. I told you I freeze when I am scared. I double dog sare you to tease your hair up and tight roll your pants for work on Monday. Wear the Blue eyshadow and the hot pink lipstick. I would laugh my ass off if you did that. We should assign a day to be 80s day. It should be a national holiday...

Man, I used to could tight roll a pair of jeans. That would be fun to show up to work like that just to see the reactions I would get. They would probably try to commit me. Melissa

All of these are making me have flashbacks... As a little one I like Captain Kangaroo and Scooby Doo. In the seventh grade, I thought Rick Springfield was "da bomb". High School was "Facts of Life" on TV, Guns and Roses on the radio & "St Elmo's Fire" on the big screen. I can't believe Demi Moore...but that's another rant. Elesha

I LOVE ST ELMOS FIRE.. My sisters wedding party walked down the isle to the theme song... Its a great movie. One of those movies I have to watch everytime its on.
