Time Warp 1988 (What do you remember doing twenty years ago?) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DLevine2 · 06-27-2008, 10:56 AM

In 1988, I remember 20 years ago I was in daycare. We lived in an apartment. When we lived in an apartment we got to go swimming all the time during the Summer 1988. The Olympics were in Seoul during the Summer that year. During Christmas that year my grandmother took me and my brother to ride the pink pig at the Rich's in Downtown Atlanta.

This June, we had the hottest day ever...and I was down with the flu.

Despite being 104 Degrees, I was in blankets.

*ClassicPinUp* · 06-27-2008, 11:06 AM

At this time I would have been 6 days shy of turning a year old...so - Waddling around with my sippy cup in hand, chasing the dog, taking a nap, making a sticky mess, laughing at the funny faces daddy/mommy made, playing in my little baby pool etc. I miss those easy days

The summer of 88 was very hot and dry. Our lawn was burned up and it was 90+ degrees for days.(In Michigan) After 2 months we finally got rain in Mid August. We also had some very bad T-Storms.
Also during that summer my brother in law who is a retired policeman got shot in the chest while on duty. It was serious but he survived.

Yes, I remember that 104 degree day in 1988!! My dad piled my siblings and I into our old 1974 Opel, we got ice cream at the Dairy Queen drive-thru near our house (which is still there!) and then we drove to my aunt and uncle's house. My poor aunt was in the middle stages of pregnancy at the time and that was one of the hottest, dryest summers of recent history. She was utterly uncomfortable and miserable. I can't believe that my cousin will turn 20 in November!!

I also remember our family drove to Canada for about a week in August 1988, and once that vacation was over, it was almost time for school again. I started third grade that year, and I also needed to get glasses before the year was out since I was having trouble reading the chalkboard/overhead projectors.

Ahh, this time in 1988...I was a year old, chasing our cat around...ahhh memories!

Nighthawk76 · 06-27-2008, 01:01 PM

Along with 1997, the summer of 1988 was the best of my life. As both Penny Lane and Monika point out, it was very, very hot in the midwest that summer. Opening the door each morning was like opening the oven door....it was that hot! I remember that we had a hail storm in May that caused damage to our car, and then it didn't rain again until September.

Me and the other kids who lived on my court went to the pool quite a bit during the summer of 1988. Next to staying in an airconditioned house, it was really the best way to keep cool. We also went to see a couple of movies like Big, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Great Outdoors.

However, the highlight of the summer of 1988 was August when I went to visit my grandparents in Arizona. They bought me a ticket to come out and see them for my 12th birthday. Just imagine, it was my first time on an airplane and I was flying by myself...very scary!

Even though Arizona is traditionally a hotter state temperature wise that Illinois, since they have lower humidity than our's, the weather was actually nicer there. My grandparents took me to all over Arizona and California! It was such a great time.

In late August I began the sixth grade.

PZelda · 06-27-2008, 02:09 PM

1988? Don't ask me.

I turned 3 that summer. It was also really hot up here- my parents say it never went below 90 degrees, not even at night. I'm sure I spent a lot of time at home or at the community center swimming pool that summer. I do, however, remember seeing "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" when it was in theaters that summer.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 06-27-2008, 02:49 PM

Um...being conceived? lmao

James"Thunder"Early · 06-27-2008, 03:13 PM

I was two, I don't really remember anything.

Brieannas21 · 06-27-2008, 03:23 PM

I was 7 and in the 1st grade and hating every minute of it.

But if you are talking about the summertime, I was either swimming or out playing with someone and having fun.

AB · 06-27-2008, 04:26 PM

The place where I used to work would shut down the last week of June & the first week of July for repairs, so I would have been on vacation back then. The place I work now only shuts down on Christmas day. lol!

The pool was the place to be that summer.
