I do remember these pants.

Cargo pants of the 80's!! I don't remember what they were called but I'm certain it wasn't parachute pants as those were Hammer pants.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Oh they were fun times, weren't they those 80's??

Google parachute pants. Gayleen is right, they're the ones with lots of zippers, unlike M C Hammers pants.

Nope, these ARE parachute pants.

According to Wikipedia
They both were "parachute pants".

Wikipedia: parachute pants

Parachute pants are a style of trousers (pants) characterised by the use of ripstop nylon and / or extremely baggy cuts. In the original loose-fitting, extraneously zippered style of the early 80s 'parachute' refers to the pants' synthetic nylon material. In the later 80s 'parachute' may refer to the extreme baggyness of the pant. They are typically worn as men's wear and are often brightly colored. Parachute pants gained media attention in US culture in the 1980s as part of an increased cultural awareness of break dancing.

Just depends on which part of the 80's you were talking about I guess. I remember Parachute Pants = Hammer pants.

We let my 15yo cousin roam the park with her friends. They behaved. The rule we had was she had to call everytime she switched parks, before she left the one. She always did. Now she's 18 and just went to disneyland for the first time with her friends only. She made it home just fine and had a great time.

Thanks for the input - I left my baby with 3 girls. She has called me to tell me she was riding Tower of Terror twice and then switching to DL. They do grow up so fast.

Sweetheart we are closer to 30 then 40 days now, lol.

I remember the zipper ones, but I was early 80's.

OK I guess no one had karate shoes around here so maybe I made them up.

No you didn't!!! We had them, but in Australia, we called them happy shoes....

For any of you that have them to spare, my brother could use some prayers his way . . .

He found out that he has a mass in his colon, and on Sunday he will have surgery to have part of his colon removed. While pathology results are not yet back, I think they are pretty sure it is cancer. The only question is whether or not it is localized or has spread, and whether or not it is treatable beyond the surgery. My brother is 5 years younger than me - only 42.

Tomorrow I'll be taking my dad to the hospital to see him - we have not told dad yet all that is going on.

Amy and I talked tonight, and we have had family illness and hardship follow us on our last cruises. My mom passed away the week of our last cruise with the Geeks, right before we left. We had a funeral and left the same day. Now my brother's illness, and I can only pray that they have caught it in time.

Thanks for letting me share. It has not been very happy around here lately, and my thoughts are with all the rest of you who have had family and friends illness and worse to deal with . . .

prayers and for you and your family
