This is # 5001, I missed it by one, I wasn't paying close enough attention.
I just was listening to the song...
"Hold on to the Dream" by Irene Cara...would someone be so kind as to post the lyrics to that song, if possible. I think they are very uplifting.
I just wanna say that I have had my ups and downs on The Rewind, but there have been so many good things out of being here, that out weigh anything bad 100 to 1, so I am still grateful to be apart of the coolest group of people on the internet. I love you guys!!
I am glad to see new people like Brooke (80'sfreak)..coming on, and to see who is here all the time , is really neat. After being here a year and 1/2...it is neat to see constant new topics all the time. It does bum me that people have not gotten along and people have left. I would like to see John Kilduff return, because he did put alot in to this site and I think it is a shame when things get so far out of control that people don't stop, and take a breather, and regroup themselves. I have had to do it myself.
Anyway..I really feel like I know most of you very well, (including Noms- )....
I hope you all Hold on to your Dreams!! Mine is right here hanging in the 80's with the people I wish I would have hung out with the first time around!! Your all way cool!!
Me in 1989-the end of the 80's, I don't look so thrilled about it neither...
Me now:
Contrary to some people's beliefs...I do still find lots of stuff to still smile about in 2005!!
But ...we don't wanna go there ...let's stay in 1985!! It is more cozy!! Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
Here you go! Dream (Hold On To Your Dreams) by Irene Cara
I’ve been chasing dreams for so long Just one step behind and then they’re gone Illusions of love would come and go I guess you have to hurt before you grow And everybody knows Never let go of the, never let go of the dream
I always seem to lose what I thought was mine And many times I tried to leave it behind Deep inside, hope was still alive Deep inside, dreams will never die That is why we’re movin’ closer to the truth
It’s really great for me to be here I’ve won over the pain and the fear It’s been so very hard through the years Been looking through a rainbow of tears And still I never really let go of the dream
Sometimes I saw my life just falling apart And all the rejection tearing at my heart Deep inside, hope was still alive Deep inside, dreams will never die If you try there’ll be so much more for you
It’s really great for me to be here I’ve won over the pain and the fear It’s been so very hard through the years Been looking through a rainbow of tears And still I never really let go of the dream
We can all be free, we hold the key If we can see what we wanna be Life’s never easy, you get no guarantees Why not give your all and see what you can find?

I remember when you hit a 1000 and that was like amazing, there is no way that anyone will ever catch up to you now.
Thanks for all of the knowledge that you have shown us, you still inspire me everytime I get on here and I see your name and some cool topic that you have come up with.
Kudos to you ISIS!

Thanks Jess, you ain't so bad yourself, especially coming up with good topics!! Posted by deathbystereo80 (Member # 2005) on :
Wow, that was FAST!!!
I see they haven't made you Old Grandma Rewind yet - I guess they're saving this for your 10.000th post.
So here's to the next 5.000! Posted by GremlinBreakfast (Member # 2585) on :
Many congrats to you Isis! I thought I was doing great hitting 300 posts, yet alone 5000!
The 80's are a distant memory for me, (being so young at that time and everything) and I just love reading how personal and individual your posts are. They are so descriptive that they make me feel as though I lived the era with you... experiencing your life through words almost, as well as meeting the people in your lifetime and also to the places you have been. I guess it's almost like reading your diary/journal.
I'm already looking forward to the next 5000... just make sure you take it easy and that you don't burn out!

Thanks Toni, please don't give them any ideas about the "Grandma" idea-
Grems- thanks for what you said, that was really nice, it actually means alot to me to know that you see it the way you do, and don't think I am completely annoying-
I really did love the 80's alot, and don't see anywhere that it will change for me.
We had company here on the weekend, and they saw my Pac-Man and Frogger board game sitting here, and they never even knew those things were ever made, and thought how cool.
That's one of the reasons why I love collecting stuff, because there were so many cool things, that if someone didn't live during that time, they never would even know those things existed.
Grems, I am trying not to burn out, I don't even know how I made it this far- Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
Isis burnout????.......never!
I'm proud you've made it to 5000......and i'm glad your here. It wouldn't be the same without you....I know thats true.
I agree on the constent new topics and great people here.....why we're all so drawn to the Rewind.
your always talking about great memories and bringing up movies maybe i've forgotten about so keep it up!!!!!! your the "cool" mom of the Rewind. !
Yay!!!!! Miss Isis!

Oh Muffy, your my favorite girlie Goof...I am so glad we are friends!!
If I start to "burn out"...make sure I watch Fire with Fire at least 3 times, it might inspire me! Posted by ValleyCat (Member # 1322) on :
Congrats Isis!!!
5000 is an incredible amount of postings. I thought it might be interesting to research these postings and find out the breakdown:
72 postings saying hi to new people - were you one of these people?
51 postings wishing people Happy Birthday - You know you were one of these people.
87 postings about Breakin'- Togas optional
465 postings mentioning Valley Girl - Very disappointing this total should have been way higher!
1742 postings about other 80's movies - what other movies?
92 posting on the 70's board - Bionics, Cartoons, & King Kong.
59 postings on the 90's board - Though most of these were about movies from today...I guess that counts.
3 postings on the Karate Kid Board - Just to say she was there.
548 postings about 80's Music - Valley please post the lyrics to this song....how did you do that so fast?
504 postings about how great the 80's were - We can all relate to her vivid memories and then some.
623 postings defending the fact the 80's are awesome and stuff today sucks Tassh. - This number seemed low...HA!
755 posting about how great she is and don't forget it! (btw, here's pictures to prove it!) Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
What a super mega goof!
What happened to my "I Love Valley" posts, total??
I think it is around...5075 and counting.
That information seems to be pretty accurate, are you stalking me?
That must have taken all day, you must have "flexible hours".
