Remember the days when toy cars would survive a trip out of the attic window, down the roof and into the yard without even chipping their paint?
They won't even roll down the roof now

I remember when 3.2 beer was legal for 18-20 year old drinkers, with 21 being the legal limit for higher proof liquor.

I remember going to the local liquor store and spending a dime for a cholocate bar that was bigger than the tiny things they sell now for 90 cents. I could also get a three-scoop ice cream cone for 15 cents at the local drug store.
I remember going to the 7-11 and getting 5 hotdogs for $1.

But, do you remember buying 5 hamburgers from McDonalds for a dollar?

I work at the local library, and it's really more of a "community media center" for everyone but the college students and children.
I miss the days when a library was a quiet place filled with nothing but books and people looking for books.

I remember buying five packs of baseball cards for a dollar! One time an uncle gave me a $5 bill. I went to the local mom and pop shop and bought 25 packs of baseball cards! I usually only had enough money to buy perhaps 2-3 packs at a time so buying 25 packs at one time was a rare treat. I opened each and every pack as if I was opening up the Dead Sea scrolls. :banana: I think this was 1978 so it would have been these cards.

Ya know if God had allowed one more person on the Ark they could have formed a baseball team and called it the Righteous Nine.

Yes, and could only wear slacks/jeans underneath the dress ONLY if the snow was deep enough. Snow! Snow!

Yeah our legs were freezing. I was in third grade when it was changed. Came from a family with 4 girls and boy did we load up that cart with jeans and corduroys at Kmart!

Not at all. Long beards didn't seem to bother the House of David baseball teams of the early 20th century.

THANK YOU!! I needed that. That made me smile in a way I haven't in a very, very long time. G-d bless, my friend!
