• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The Year was 1955

The Year was 1955, ONLY 62 YEARS AGO!

Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?



If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.


When I first started driving, who would have thought that gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.



Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.



I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They're even making electric typewriters now.


It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.


It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.


I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.


Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.



The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.



There is no sense going on short trips any more for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.



No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.



If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.




































 
Ah memories....

Was just a kid but remember the folks talking like that. :shocked: who'd a thunk....:yikes:
 
Hi vided,

Re: The Year was 1955

The year that I got my Driver's Permit. 'Look out, world.'

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.
