You know you're old when you go to an escort board to ask a question about escorting but realize you are restricted to discussing only off topic subjects like square pegs, toilet paper and grape soda....because talking about escorting on an escort board is TABOO. Welcome to 2016.
I don't know but I still have two $2 bills in perfect condition pressed in my dictionary. LOL I figure they'll be worth something one day but probably not much now.
This makes you a youngster, my friend. I remember when gas spiked overnight to 49 cent per gallon. That really stung...
I went to an estate sale some years back. I bought a box of office supplies. Stapler, paper weights, markers, resume paper... Additionally there was a thick dictionary.
Whoever put this box together obviously didn't much care and never checked what could be in there.
The dictionary had $80 of new singles and over $200 of twos.
Mint.
Today they are worth $280.
So many people saved them I'm sure the Mint is still laughing.
Good deal for me, I paid $5 for the entire box and am still using the stapler and paper weight.
The bills will probably disappear when all my stuff is sold off at my estate sale.
As a kid I remember going to the local store and hanging around outside with my friends.
For 0.25$ you could get a Coke and a chocolate bar. When you finished and got your refund back on the bottle you could get 2 freezies or an ice cream sandwich. Or 10 icy square chocolates. Or 5 icy squares and a snow ball. I used to know all the possible combos. Anything to maximize the sugar and chocolate hit.
If you got together with a friend, this took .35$ when they were on sale, you could split a Pepridge Farms chocolate frozen layer cake. They were good back then.
The big hit on the economy in the day was chocolate bars going from .05$ to .07$ and then to .10$.
Shit, your .25$ was hardly worth anything.

A friend of mine had an older brother who won $100,000 on Wintario.
He bought a house, furniture, two new cars and still had close to 20 grand left.

My first new car was a Smokey and the Bandit TA.
Everyone wanted one and after seeing the movie, so did I.
400, 4 barrel, 4 speed, T bars, snow flake wheels, screaming chicken and all the good stuff, $7964.93 all in.:thumb:

I was an under aged drinker at the original Sanctuary back in my teen-aged goth days....
I started smoking at age 14 (quit at 23), and cigarettes were $.25/ pack.
You are also old if you had a Princeton haircut, and wore bleeding madras shirts.

You know you're old when you can recall:

I don't know, but when I was very young we used to go to Warden and Danforth--that Harvey's stood for years. I think they're building condos there now.
I`m sure there was one on Jane just south of Wilson we used to go to.Lots of hot rod cars and bikes in `73.
Actually, it's usually the younger people who don't know grammar, or how to spell. You must be a young great grandad.
