Remember 1955?

Hi, Friends,

An example of "Shock & Awe."  A look back in time to my "good ole days' that I remember so fondly.  I was a teenager in 1955, looking forward to graduation from high school in 1956; and on to college.  Read on, friend, and enjoy the memories and laugh with those that will read this in disbelief.
 

NOW FOR A GOOD LAUGH !!!!!! REMEMBER 1955 ? 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 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage. 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 $50,000 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're 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. 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 government. The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on. There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel. No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital,  it's too rich for my blood. If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, Forget it. Know any friends who would get a kick out of these ? Pass this on ! Be sure and send it to your  kids and grand kids, too ! LOL, TEE HEE, HAHA,  I hope that brought back good memories to you who are "mature" enough to remember!  Maybe my kids will now believe we didn't travel around in covered wagons back then.  That's the honest truth....they believed we were from another time entirely. That's it for today.....keep on PASSING IT FORWARD! Hugs,  Barb
