To get Christmas $$ my best friend & I made candle sconces once, out of pine board, & went door to door selling them. They didn't sell too well.

You click to open a thread titled "You know you're old when..."

Someone had to have made that joke somewhere in this 151 page thread.

Here was one of the very first Multi-functional devices...

Between the Yellow & White Pages, it functioned as our Contact lists, our Internet and also doubled as a booster seat.

....when you went to college before student loans were common and tuition was cheap enough where you could work your own way through college without having a big debt to pay off afterward.

It's Freaking amazing that we survived all these years without all of the safety gear and I think we turned out pretty damn normal and successful.

Instead of being on their cell phones, or playing video games, and wondering what box to check (Male/Female/Gender Neutral) I'd like to see some of these Snowflakes today get a job when they were 10 and drive their bike around delivering papers and collecting money. Then going to school and coming home to help around house.

My first job outside the home was selling newspapers on a downtown street corner, followed by the much better income paper route.

Black Friday delivery normally took THREE loads

On (VERY) rare occasions when water actually fell out of the sky, mom would drive me with the tailgate up on the Volvo.
