my how times have changed

Today I spent $51.33 filling up the van. I don't remember walking to school in the snow, uphill, both ways, BUT I do remember filling up my Ford Tempo in high school with a 10 dollar bill and having enough left over to get a soda. I guess I do have a story to tell my Grandchildren that will chill their bones--oh yeah, no one had email addresses when I was in high school either.

You'll get your grandkids with that story!!! My kids don't even know what walking somewhere means.

I laugh, I miss the minivan days when $50 would fill my tank. Now that I have more Bucks and a bigger van it's generally $105..serious and OUCH! Costs me $18 just to drive to the U and home.

BTW...I got my first email address in 94, but out of HS.

You kill me.

How about a day before cell phones, people had to actually wait until you were home to reach you and, in my family's case, without the luxury of an answering machine.

Ok, I guess I'm glad I don't have a minivan!
