Michele was watching the early news when an item came up about disposable razors, and all the plastic that they add to landfills. I thought it hilarious when they showed one where you had to unscrew the handle to change the blade. Hilarious, because my father was using just such a razor 70-some years ago. As for myself, I have been using the same double edge razor since 1969. For a while, it was hard to get the blades, as some stores stopped carrying them, but that's getting better now. I guess it's true about each generation having to relearn the things that previous generations took as a given. Everything old is new again.

I know I should get up and go water my outside flowers before it gets hotter. But I don’t want to. Maybe the forecasted storms later will do it for me. :rolleyes2: Saturdays used to be for sleeping in.

I am with you - I didn’t want to this morning as well, but I am trying to get two large new grass patches to grow where my trees were removed. Argued with myself whether or not they would be fine until it rained tonight, lost to myself and went and watered. It’s just miserable out there.

Especially for college kids making minimum wage. I do hope eTextbooks are better. I have a few years before DD finds out. :crazy:

In 1973, I had to buy a Hematology textbook for a class. It cost $90, and we never actually used it in classwork.

I had some like that too. And tests that were written when I was a toddler.

After hemming and hawing it wasn’t that bad out and there was a breeze. Now I’m debating starting the sprinkler for my raised gardens or waiting to see if any storms materialize. :lol:

I remember those days when stores had jars of penny candy; when a full-sized Milky Way was a nickel; when a banana split with 3 scoops of ice cream was 50 cents..........and I was making $3.31 an hour.

My first job was actually salaried. I made $100 a week. I remember my dad saying, "Do you know that grown men support a family on that amount? USE IT WISELY!" And they did.

I worked in a nursing home briefly before I went in the service, making $2-something an hour. Then, in the service, once I got out of boot camp, I made the princely sum of $100....... a month. I never made as much as $3,000 a year, as an E-4 with over 3 years of service. My, how times have changed.
