Wife & I are going out for a simple dinner at a Thai eatery and then to a movie. I was thinking back to the times when I was trying to sell bottles and cans to scrape enough $$ for a movie ticket, the price of a meal was something else. Am I appreciative? You betcha.

I agree, gone are the days when we went hungry because I botched cooking what little food we had in the pantry - good riddance and may they never come back.

Yeah, just think of all the bottles and cans you'd have to scrap to sell for dinner and a movie and gas today.

Yes, find enough bottles to turn in, get $1, and enough gas to take you to the beach and back.

Oh yes-------------One dollar would put 3 1/2 gallons of gas in my Chevy.
