I'm getting ready to go to the mall and walk a bit while I wait for my pretty princess to get off. Our regular sunday routine is to go to breakfast together when she gets off on sunday morning since her work week is over.
I'm not in a real festive mood today since I have the dental adventure tomorrow. So I will just post something that a friend sent me this morning:
Comments made in the year 1955!
That's only 53 years ago!
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00."
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2,000.00 will only buy a used one."
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
"If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it."
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas ."
"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President."
"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
"It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."
"It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."
"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more, those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
"I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."
"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to congress."
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel."
"No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood."
"If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."
I'm feeling my age today so I thought this was appropiate. I do remember even in 1969 when I started smoking, a pack was 25 cents and a gallon of gas was 25 cents. I found it interesting over the years that gas and cigarettes seemed to keep pace with each other.
When I was a teenager I would get paid from my job, fill the 22 gallon tank of my 62 chevy, buy a cartoon of cigarettes for the week and have $5 left to take my girlfriend out on a date. A date then was much cheaper. A dollar would buy burgers, fries and drinks and the Dairy Dip and the drive in movie was a $1.00 a car load.
See y'all in a few days. Wish me luck.

. None-the-less, feel better soon 
Just kidding!!
Kristin! Good luck on making those miles and hours! Our week begins on Friday and ends on Thursday. Please send me a PM with your totals and I will get you posted to the board! 
and apparantly the parental supervision, which as far as I can tell, just means that I am the one who has to figure out how to get Pandas and others out of hot water! 
Erica for sending us an update on the snoring Panda!
