Sister Bear…
I remember RIGHT BEFORE the Yom Kippur War in ’73, gas in New York City was 35 cents per gallon. The arabs started an embargo, and overnight it went up to 98 cents per gallon.
Of course by comparison to today’s prices, that still seems very cheap, but for THEN, it had almost tripled in one shot! People were SO angry and upset! Imagine if tomorrow the price of gas went to $8.50 per gallon and you’ll get the idea.

Now I know the reason why people do it, so their kids can feel really old!!!

Dial up internet, walkmans (I think they stopped making them pretty recently).
I’m getting very nostalgic now, thanks guys.

May 24, 2011 9:36 pm at 9:36 pm #769849Shticky GuyParticipantSomeone’s grandfather said he remembers when his parents could send him down to the local store with a dime and he would come home with 3 breads, butter, eggs, meat, chicken, cookies, chocolates, drinks, oil, rice, milk and a newspaper. But you cant do that nowadays; there’s too many security cameras around.
Ps Excuse the ignorance but whats IIRC?
