My foster dad is a cool one. He mainly drove big trucks for supply and such. But there was a communist faction in Germany called the Rote Armee Fraktion (also known as Baader-Meinhof) And one night he was posted as a guard together with one of his colleagues at a munition depot. Turns out they (The Rote Armee) invaded the terrain they were guarding and they tried to steal the munitions and weapons, my foster dad’s fellow soldier ran away. My foster dad stood his ground. Let’s just say it didn’t end well for the Rote Armee. It’s something he doesn’t really like talking about, which is logical. But he’s one badass of a man. One of the few soldiers that saw action in Germany after WII. He even got a medal, which he threw away. It still haunts him in his dreams sometimes, not often, but sometimes…

You're probably right, but in this picture she looks fairly close to the same age the girl I dated in the '90s was at that time (she was 19 when we began dating). Also my former girlfriend had straight hair.

My grandparents had that couch and I had to sleep on it when we visited them...theirs was NOT a pullout, they just put sheets down on the couch to make a bed for me. Even with the sheets that upholstery fabric was scratchy as hell.

Yeah but the movie was made in 1930s Hollywood. There were drugs for sure.

Something about that type of face is really appealing to me. Tsukasa Aoi has a similar one.

I reckon OP's mom looked very similar in the 90s to the way she did in the 80s.

Ok but why can't you walk barefoot? The grass is no different today than in the 80s, probably safer even with how often people threw bottles back then

Well it isn't like the original wasn't a little heavy handed. One of the reasons I loved it.
