School teachers are spending so much time on discipline and so little time on math - one of these days 53+53 will equal 110.

I was livid when my son was born 10 minutes before midnight. We had to pay for him for the whole day...$20.00.

What made it worse...they had induced labor. I should have sued.

When I saw the headline, I thought it was something Obama had said. (Sorry)

Be sure to read this with your "shakin' cane" in hand so you can shake it at all the young whippersnappers.

Thank you!

Way too many anachronisms. If you want to make up a phoney baloney article fine, but do the research first so you don't stumble all over yourself before you even get started.

My son was born in the Labor Room and not the Delivery Room remember them? The doctor told my mother (they didn’t let husbands in then) that the only OB nurse was busy and she’d have to assist and we didn’t have time to get to the delivery room. I asked immediately if that meant that I didn’t have to pay for it. My son cost me $383 for the hospital and $104 for the doctor and that was 1973 and I had the money saved.

My husband made $112 a week and I saved 2 paychecks every month.

Sort of like:

2=a number

1=a number

Therefore: 2=1

Remember when a Three Muskateers bar cost a nickel and it was big enough for two friends and you.

Ice Cream was a nickel a scoop, and they used to make litle loaves of bread that they gave away as samples.

Spinning wheels to no where. No longer a $1 hr wage, but no 12 cent loaf of bread, a $13,000 house or a new car for $1200. So now we make well over $1 an hour, its up to $8?, so what, a loaf of bread is over $1, a house maybe 120K a car closer to 25K. So what really improved? Most of us are no better off today than our parents and grand parents were in 1953. But one thing is different, we sure as hell had one great guy as a President back then. :o)

That was the first thing I noticed, too. :-)

Uhm, ain’t that more like 57 years ago?

[sodpoodle]

Too bad - ‘cos it’s a great read and a poignant reminder how far & fast we’re slip-slidin’ away.
