So here is mine....

Comments Made In The Year 1955

only 53 years ago people....

'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the w ay 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.'?

'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any mo re. 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.'?

'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.'?

yeah...I still hear things like this from my grandma and grandpa. It's sad how a lot of kids now a days take things for granted, back then they would have never guessed about the things we have now.

I remember I never stayed inside during the summer time, I was always outside playing with neighborhood friends, and my parents never worried about me. Everything was all good back in the day, and yeah I am only 23, but I remember a lot about how things were.

Sorry for your loss man, at least you know he is in a better place and not having to see what this world is coming to.

Growing your own fruit and vegetables isn't worth it, trust me I lived on a farm all my life and I still work on one. Prices of seeds, sets of onions, fertilizer (unless you wanna get your own producer, so to speak), plus you have to waste your water of your cistern to water them and then waste gas to go fill up your cistern or pay to have it delivered. Not worth the hassle it brings.
