Dug out the yearbook and had a look at "what we pay now"

Ok in '76 we were paying..

6 Pack of Bud cans..$1.85..(no deposit)
Gasoline..53 cents /gallon for the Hi test..(The purple stuff..anyone remember real gas????)

Pack of smokes..55-65 cents..
Ice skating at the rink..25 cents per hr..
Ice rentals by the hr. for "pick-up games"..$45
Bowling..60 cents / string..
Skiing passes..$8 weekdays..$10 weekends..

I was 5 or 6 in 1976. I didn't pay for anything.

 

....................and not even a spot in the sheets yet.

 

CRAP! I graduated for HS in '73---gas was about 40-some cents a gallon then. In '74, when the Arab Oil Embargo hit, people were outraged to pay 46 cents agallon.

I was born in 72 so I'm right there with Stealth....I didn't pay for chit.

 

Come to think of it, I did pay for things that I did wrong way back then, with spankings.

I was one year old, my biggest concern was making it to the bathroom.











Funny, thats also a concern now sometimes and is growing in frequency........

 

Well a woman never tells her age, but I'm younger than Zap.

 

Haha, a woman.

 

I'm just a tad younger than you Zap, I remember those days. . .
