I know the younger generation gets tired of hearing about "the good ol' days", but life was definitely different 50 years ago.

Amen,

re: life was definitely different 50 years ago.

I remember when my grandmother, my mom, my aunt, my sister and friend would spend all day Saturday doing Toni home permanents. Horrible smell. And I remember when packages of cigarettes purchased machines from had two or three shiny new pennies inside the cellophane on the package. Cigarettes were twenty-two or twenty-three cents each and the pennies were your change for a quarter. I also recall when you picked up the phone and waited for an operator to say "Number please" and you had to listen for your specific ring signal on the party line. Ours was a long and two short. Ah yes, the good old days!
