COMMENTS MADE IN 1955

[Kathi]

"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."

"Have you seen the new cars
coming out next year?
It won't be long before $2000
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,
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 that 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 money 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 just 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 a night
to stay in a hotel."

"No one can afford to be sick any more;
$35 a day in the hospital
is too rich for my blood."

"If they think I'll pay 50 cents
for a hair cut, forget it."

Every day spent on earth is a blessing, every day spent in our Montana is a day blessed twice.

Good one Kathi,
I do believe at one time or another my Mom and Dad made those same comments.
Think about it, someday our great grandchildren will be making the same type of comments about us old fogies and our 3 buck a gallon gas prices while they are shelling out 150 bucks a gallon at "Micky Dees Soyburger and CookingOil Service station" with over 30 trillion sold.

"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us!"
You know you are retired when you wake up in the morning with
nothing to do and go to bed at night with it only half done.
BUT, Keep in mind, doing nothing can be a very
tiresome job because you can't stop to rest
