In my day a "bag" was four fingers and cost $25 - 35.00, and you bitched when that "bag" only weighted 28 grams. If you asked for a quarter or a half you meant pounds. Boy do I miss those $70 quarters. Just a minute... that's about how much my two 400w'ers cost to burn for three months, works out too $25 or less an OZ. So I am still stuck in the 70's.

Oh yea.... and a dime was what you used to call your dealer
It's the Venusians
It's the Venusians
Hey Now, "This use to be a hell of a good country" "It started when we started bouncing radio waves off the moon in 1947" "It's the venusian, they been living among us in vast numbers ever since."
In my day; On Friday I would buy a ripple wine cap full of leafy stuff, called Alcpulco gold, no seeds, cost $5 and it would last till Monday!

Ya Pinball it was great to grab a quarter and it would last like a month. "You roll joints like a dealer" my friends said ;-) Never sold any... EVER.

Well I didn't say I always got the 8 dollar Chucks HeHeHe. Nothing Lasted Long on my feet as a youth (Insert Generic "Walking UpHill Both ways to School" pun) Wranglers? In My Day you could Blend with Wranglers. At least you were almost "with it". I was in Bib Overalls and Sears Tough Skins until the 9th grade.minds_I said:

In the day my people would gather at the creek, smoke, drink and swim naked. Sit in a ring around the fire sing songs, talk about peace, love and how we were going to change the world.
"Where have my people gone?"

I guess it was all a dream and I'm the only one that didn't wake up.
So sad it makes me cry

In my day when you saw someone stuck in the snow at the intersection you got out and helped push and more than likely another car stopped and helped.
In my day the kids who had the most money also drove a tractor.
In my day a farm consisted of a few acres a few cattle and a few hogs and a bunch of kids.
In my day my brother and I walked across the street down to the creek with cane poles and caught bluegill all day long. Same creek today may have a couple of carp.
In my day you could drive down any gravel road pull over and go fishing. No subdivisions sprawling along every waterway. Now there are No Trespassing signs on every single piece of land. In fact no such thing as a gravel road around here any more.
In my day milk at school cost $.03 and you ate what was served. The lunch lady made your lunch and was a friend’s mom. Not Pizza Hut and Taco bell at the schools like today.
In my day you got your vaccinations right at grade school buy the nurse. The bus driver always had a home remedy for some malady that he stopped and gave to your parents to experiment on you with when you were sick.
In my day drivers Ed class cost $8.00 not $350.00
In my day you joined a sport got your uniform and turned it back end at the end of the season. Today it is $100.00 per sport and buy your own uniform and this is public school.
I miss all of it now. As usual you never know how good you had it.

...Then - my 1st. car, a 9-yr.-old very well used hand-me-down, that somehow survived as my whole family's 1st car (I was #5) - and I was REALLY glad to get it (after driving the family station wagon for a year!)!!!
...Now - "Unsafe at any speed!", and yet - a classic!!! (I really wish I didn't wreck it!).
My daughter wants her 1st car to be a VW Beetle - a new VW Beetle!!
