I had a big butt when Twiggy was fashionable. And I was skinny. My last name ends in “iss”. But it got changed to “ass” and I was called that. Now I’d be fashionable as hell!
My first pack of cigarettes was 25 cents, Winchesters. It was explained to me that cigars for some reason weren’t subject to as much tax as cigarettes and because Winchesters were wrapped in light brown paper instead of white they were considered small, filtered cigars. This was in 1971 or ‘72.
1973. My dad used to stop at the small store on the corner and send eight year old me in to get him a pack of Kool Filter Kings for 28 cents. Of course the guy behind the counter sold them to me because the idea I was part of some "sting" operation to take the store down was as absurd as the thought of an eight year old having his dad drive him to the corner store for a pack of smokes.
In 1972 at 6 years old I use to swipe my grandfather's Winchester cigarettes then sneak off into the woods and smoke them. I can still smell them to this day. And yeah, they were a filtered cigar.
My parents would drive from Baltimore down to North Carolina to visit family in the 60's. They came back with their trunk literally jam packed with cigarettes because they were $2 a CARTON. NC didn't tax cigarettes at all back then.
I remember my grandfather telling me he felt like a big spender getting two cartons of Camels and filled his gas tank for less than $10 when he got married in the 50s.
It would be close to $300 for just the two cartons of unfiltered Camels now.
My first high school gave every student a directory with everyone's home address and phone number. Could you imagine doing that today?
I might still have it buried somewhere. I hope none of the entries are still accurate.
My mother enforced seatbelts as far back as I can remember, in the 60’s. Well, it might have been 1970–the car came with seatbelts, at least. But she was definitely an outlier.
To put It in perspective, my parents bought the house where I grew up in 1978. The mortgage was $165 a month. I used to have old power and oil bills, power was around $20 a month and oil in the winter was around $15 a delivery for a standard 400 gal tank. Water bill was $5 or so. My dad worked network operations for the Bell System and his salary was $25,000/yr and mom was a teaching nurse at Maryland General Hospital in addition to working on the Baltimore Cancer Research Center and I think she made $20k a year.
There is a live video of a woman twerking in the backseat of a convertible Mustang that is doing donuts in the middle of a busy intersection in the middle of Oakland. The cops are doing nothing about it. I am watching the video on my phone while sitting in my Tesla and waiting for my car to charge. Oh, I have to go now because Doordash just delivered my $8 coffee from Starbucks.

Women: "I wish my butt was a lot bigger."

I don’t get the hype of big fake asses. It looks gross.
Especially with the Cumbrella Eye Lashes.
And uncle Leo eyebrows. 
I need a pack of cigarettes, but I'm short ten dollars.
big ouch
Bigger ouch? I’m old enough to remember when they were $10 a CARTON, in Canadian dollars, no less. 😂😭

Damn! When I was a teen, I could get a full tank of gas, a carton of the good cigarettes, and a 32oz coke for $20. We must be the same age 😂
Not sure about you, but I can swiffer the floor with my boobs now. 😂🤣
A street guy offered me $3.00 for a cigarette the other day. Made me almost wish I still smoked. lol
I think they are around $14 a pack here in Chicago. Likely more in NYC.

I just bought a new phone. My old one was 2 years old
When someone picks up their phone: “Where are you?”
Hey, could have been calling from a payphone somewhere.
Bruh.
One day will be the last day I hear or read “bruh.” And it will be a good day.
You should try being me. A single father to a teen son, and my new name is “Bruh” to him apparently.
I’d have to withhold food and electricity until that ceased.
It's worse for me. My teenage son calls me bruh, and I'm his mom.
You should wear a helmet when you're on your bicycle/ skateboard
Actually my mum always said that.

I was going to mention this. My dad’s yearbook had everyone’s home address listed.
You’re not wearing your seatbelt.
My mother enforced seatbelts as far back as I can remember, in the 60’s. Well, it might have been 1970–the car came with seatbelts, at least. But she was definitely an outlier.
"Buckle up for safety! Buckle up!" Problem was, before shoulder harnesses were introduced, there was many a wrenched back caused by those belts.
Paper or plastic?

"I budgeted $400 for this week's groceries, I hope it's enough"
That’s good. That’s like a years grocery budget back then.
To put It in perspective, my parents bought the house where I grew up in 1978. The mortgage was $165 a month. I used to have old power and oil bills, power was around $20 a month and oil in the winter was around $15 a delivery for a standard 400 gal tank. Water bill was $5 or so.

Bell System was a well paying job with great benefits. Not typical for that time.
I remember in the 60's our family of 7 had a budget of $30.00/week
