I can remember a nickel admission for a movie and 5 cents for popcorn... I
can remember when the Five&Dime only charged 5 cents to 10 cents for goods.
I can remember 50 cents for a pack of smokes and 10 cents for a coffee with
free refills.

I'm going to be 50 this year..... I don't even have one grey hair yet!

God Bless Him Scotty,

Us old *******s are really from a different time, good or bad, who
knows? It is what makes us different and we know we are different.
Can't
help it. We do appreciate the love shown us

We come from a time when cigarette smoking was OK. In our day we mowed
grass. It wasn't worth $100 / ounce. Aids were people that worked for
free.

Fast food meant fish on Friday. We didn't know about instant coffee.

TIME-SHARING meant moments together, like your Dad's Birthday Party.
Hardware meant stuff from a Hardware Store. Software was like flannel
PJ's and slippers.

Made in Japan meant junk.

Making Out meant you had a job that paid the bills. A nickel brought an
ice cream cone, a big bar of candy, a telephone call even a postage
stamp with change.

Your Dad and I are SURVIVORS from another time so celebrate his
Birthday
and overlook the "Generation Gap" We can't help it any more than you!

Ole Thom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
