Tad,
Do you remember gasoline at 11 cents a gallon. Do you remember a new Chevy or Ford for $6oo. Do you remember damn few people could afford to by a new car. We were born before Fm radio, television, frozen food, plastic, polioshots, ball point pens,dishwashers, clothes driers, credit cards, air conditioners, electric blankets, pantyhose, the PILL! We could get 10 cent for a Saturday afternoon movie if we could find enough empty soda bottle to take back to the grocery store for deposit. ( Made of glass) ROCK Music was a Grandma's lullaby sung in a rocking chair We knew gasoline, car tires, sugar, butter and meat rationing. I remember unpaved road with three ruts in them. Two made by wagon wheels and the middle one made by the horse But WE SURVIVED!! If you remember life then you were born before WW2. If you were TAD, then you are on our side of the GENERATION GAP!! You're OLD Ole Thom |

Dave,
Here goes "Old Remember When" again. I do believe that Roll Your Own was called a Target. They became popular during WW2 when we were in the Armed Services. We could buy a pack of Cig. for 5c. The tobacco companies weren't ready for that. The Civilian supply became real short. The story we got, when they upped production they couldn't get the green paper because of all the "olive drab the military was using. We all believed it was a cost cutting move to use white paper. Anyway, they came out with a slogan; "Lucky Strike Green has gone to War" How could we call them cheap after that? Ah yes, I remember. Ole Thom |

Horass,
I really don't believe you're capable of painting an image. Even a Stone Age Image. Post something believable and stop your damn bragging! I heard you never got a passing grade in finger painting. (g) Ole Thom |

I remember making my own spears before combat, and looking for stones for my sling. I made my own shield, and painted it with the legions symbols. This post is 100% free of steroids |
