I remember when gas was $.25 a gallon when I got my driver's license and first car.

The first car my dad had was a LaSalle with running boards. After that, he bought all Hudsons and then Ramblers. He never owned a Chevy.

My first car was a ི Chevy, green and White, that my dad paid $12 for (cost of the tag). My uncle gave it to him and was a stick shift. I never drove an automatic until I was 20 and bought my own car with my own money. I paid $1500 for a ྀ Rambler Classic, 4 door (my first 4 door, too) in turquoise blue. My dad was mad because I didn't pick the Navy blue and white stick shift Rambler because it was cheaper.

My allowance was $1.50 a week and to make money, I chauffered all my friends around plus to school and back for $.25 a week.

And, I just turned another year older on Monday. Ugh! Thank heavens, no one in my family wished me HB. I quit counting 20 years ago.

We bought a birthday cake with Happy Birthday Jesus on it and sang happy birthday.  Our 7-year-old loved it!

Doncha just love getting flowers?!  Happy birthday and here's to many more!

the family and I are having a birthday picnic.  Nice weather here in Michigan too.  You're invited!

I'd definitely give it a shot.  If you're like me, you've probably already spent a small fortune on every other concoction out there on the shelves...what's one more, right? 

You want a real treat?  You HAVE to try Bare Minerals.  I always wear a little makeup whenever I go out, just to give my self-esteem a much needed boost.  Liquids, even the kind that say they are 24-hours, just seem to slide off my skin or make my skin peel.  This stuff is fantastic and really covers incredibly well, even though it is a powder.  Even my ultra-sensitive skin doesn't have a problem with it.  I tried a sampler from QVC a few years ago, fell in love with it, and now I also get that as I need it from deals on Ebay. 

Again, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!  

Today is my sister's B-day too . . . my sweet Angie Pangie!  (aka Piggie Pie)  LOL!!! 

and many more!   Cat

I will be 47 on Thursday :)

My child will be turning 8 in a month and a half and we are planning his party.  It will be at the house this year and we are renting one of those bouncy castles.  He is inviting girls and boys but will plan on the boys spending the night and camping out in the backyard in a big tent.  Would it be appropriate to put an insert into the invitations letting the girls' parents know when to pick them up that evening and that only boys will be spending the night?  TIA

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways.. yadda, yadda, yadda.

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in he*ll I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a dam n Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the dam n library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the dam n record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

And talk of about hardship? You couldn't just download porn! You had to steal it from your brother or bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! Those were your options!

We didn't have fancy c rap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Play Station video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics sucked a$$! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just SC rewed!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were sc rewed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your a$$ and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! W e had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-s!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up. We had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... Imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupi*d JiffyPop thing and shake it over the stove forever like an idio*t.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled.

You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

The over 30 Crowd

I just know in advance you will all wish my mom's (she's like mine) Toy Terrier, TinyLyn, who will be seven years old tomororw, a happy birthday! She is just the love of my life, and so dear. Let's hear it for Tyne! I got her a birthday cake for dogs at JustDogs at our mall.   (Me and Tyne)
