I remember my great grandfather walking to the local pub everyday for his one nightcap, until he was 96. He started working in the coal mines at six for $4 a week.

I remember my Grandfather waking up every morning and having his "eye opener" shot of Brandy.. ...that's the booze not a woman. .
Died telling Irish jokes, and happy at 92.. ..

Remember when there were Pensions from the company one loyally worked for most of their life..

Nah me either... but one set of my grandparents were well taken care off until they both were dead.

There never was a time when words didnt hurt. Words that hurt are what leads to sticks and stones

Another topic just made me think of this one

Remember when you used to cut grass and you didn't get $50?

I remember as a kid going around the neighborhood and cutting other people's grass (cut only - we didn't edge back then). I used to get $3.50 front and back. $5.00 for a big yard.

That was 40 some odd years ago. Was anybody else as cheap as I was back then? Now it's $50....

I used to cut grass in the neighborhood. Funny demographics on that job... to my parents, it was always a Japanese gardener (remember "bad for grass" in Chinatown?). Then it was baby boomers as kids like me. Now it is mostly Hispanics. Hey, does that make me a former oppressed minority? In all seriousness, it's always been a low paying job no matter who did it, until recently. I fired a gardener/pool guy when he didn't show up one week but still wanted to be paid. His excuse? "It was a holiday." So I am supposed to provide paid time off for cutting the damn grass? Sheesh!

[KTPhil]

Another long lost job... paperboy. I used to have a paper route on my bike every day, but now it's been taken over by corporate and their (under)paid adult drivers.

The Moose dropping festival in Talkeetna! Peta killed that one[/quote]

What, were they dropping meese from helicopters, or celebrating poop? If dropping meese from helicopters I can understand, but how do you define poop cruelty?

bill[/quote]

At the time Peta thought it was the helicopters thing (need a BIG one to drop very many at one time) but in reality it was just one big 3 day street party but Peta threatened to launch a large ad campaign against Alaska tourism (just like they have tried against the Iditarod) and Talkeetna crumbled against the pressure.
