I was a Responsible Design Engineer for antennas on a MILSATCOM program.

In 1989 I met my last girlfriend at an FFRF convention in St. Louis, MO. She turned out to be the best girlfriend I ever had in my life. She felt pretty much the same and said she'd never had a kinder, more intelligent boyfriend in her entire life. I couldn't believe my luck, especially considering that I was 19 years her senior.

I'll listen for agonal breathing.

My wife-to-be and I had moved into a single wide in a rural park near her parents. We needed to be close to care for them. My dad had been gone a year, and I was drinking as hard as I ever was. A year later I went sober.
Yesterday was our 34th anniversary BTW.

I was living in a home unit in Melbourne, and had been put out of engineering work caused by
the Australian economic recession.  I was working as a car detailer for AU$50 per vehicle, and
I could usually detail two cars per day, although the work was very sporadic, and I couldn't
maintain my mortgage repayments.  Bank interest then was 17.5% pa, so the bank effectively
gave me the option of selling my unit, or facing a mortgagee auction.  I sold the unit, and made
a decent profit, but then had to start throwing money down the toilet by renting.  

I gave up smoking—40 per day—but developed a life-threatening case of peritonitis.  So much
for a return on my health investment LOL.

December of that year? No clue. Dreading the upcoming 90's (which I'm now oddly nostalgic for, just like the 80's)? Mid-year I had represented the United States in a youth wheelchair track and field meet. Home turf, University of Miami, so I didn't get to travel anywhere exotic.

Boring year overall, though, IIRC.

21y. Just started university.

[Thumpalumpacus]

I was in the Air Force, facing possible deployment supporting our invasion of Panama, and very uninterested in television.

[Szuchow]

Busy with nonexistence.

December 1989, I would have been 1 and 1/2 years old [so I was born at the very least haha].

I honestly don't know what I was doing back then - I lived with my mother + father at the time, they were both 18/19ish [Young parents] and trying to work full time/support me/run a house etc. I think my father had just started his job that he still has to this day, and my mother was trying to get a better job as she didn't do all that well in high school - thanks to my arrival haha.

I can't really remember anything from before I was around 4 years old, so I imagine standard toddler stuff

The year is 1989, it's December, and the year is almost over except it is the beginning of a show that will enthrall the world.

I am referring to The Simpsons.

Where were you, what was going on in your life at that time. If you weren't born yet, screw you.

I was ten years old.     That is all I remember.

Your turn.

I was in my first semester of college and was about to start a job at Pizza Hut. I worked there though college and made friends that I still have today. Good times.

Fun fact: The Simpsons started as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show before it was given its own half hour show.

1989?  Probably coaching a Little League game.

I was 22 and a newly qualified RN working in orthopaedics.

I would have been finishing up my first placement as a student teacher working at a junior high school in San Leandro that went grade 7 to grade 9.  I remember chaperoning a dance where I saw what must have been a ninth grade boy dancing with a girl who was barely more than half his height.  Weird.

Earlier in that fall semester I had started out being placed as a salaried teacher at a high school in Alameda before having begun any instruction in teaching at all, but I bailed after two weeks, realizing I wasn't learning anything.  On the way home from my last day there I was headed to pick up my stepson from the Piedmont Boys Choir when the Loma Prieta earthquake happened, as his mom was out of town.  Had I not have turned off I would have been on the lower level of the Cypress structure which collapsed killing so many people.

The following fall I started teaching in my own classroom and "eat my shorts" and other bits from the Simpsons were quite popular.

[Old Man Marsh]

I was four years old and wouldn't be introduced to the Simpsons for another year or two.

Aside from that I don't remember much about that particular month.
