What Do You Remember on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

When you had to wait until you were 16 years of age to go on a date with a guy. Then, he had to ask your dad, first. Sometimes the parents would go along on the date or even drive to wherever you were going on the date to make sure you were having safe fun(Guys didn't enjoy this idea as much as the girls)! I really enjoyed "good manners" and "common courtesy" too! Oh yes, modest dressing anywhere you go even on the beach! This was before the thong and the revealing cleavage was in vouge to show the entire world lol! I see the "crack of dawn" every where I go today even at the Mall,now! With cell phones today, I even know everyone's bra size, lol!
