Comments Made In The Year 1957 - how true! 
 
   "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, 
 it's  going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20." 

   "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long 
 before $5000 will only buy a used one. 

  "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A 
 quarter a pack is ridiculous." 

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

   "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire 
   outside help at the store." 
 
   "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas 
would someday cost 29 cents a gallon.  Guess we'd be better
 off leaving the car  in the garage." 
 
   "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it 
   impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be 
 wearing  their hair as long as the girls." 

   "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since 
 they let  Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With 
The Wind,' it seems  every new movie has either "hell" or 
"damn" in it. 
 
 "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible
 to put a man on the moon by he end of the century. They even 
have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it 
down in Texas." 

   "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for 
   $75,000 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 are 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." 
 
   "Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars 
 seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat." 
 
  "I'm just 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 Congress." 
 
   "The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I 
 seriously doubt they will ever catch on." 

   "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a 
 weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel." 
 
   "No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day in the hospital 
 is too rich for my blood." 

   "If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."

Where have all the Grandma's gone? 
 In the dim and distant past 
 When life's tempo wasn't so fast, 
 Grandma used to rock and knit, 
 Crochet, tat and baby sit. 
 When the kids were in a jam, 
 They could always call on Gram. 

 But today she's in the gym 
 Exercising to keep slim. 
 She's checking the web or surfing the net, 
 Sending some e-mail, or placing a bet. 
 Nothing seems to stop or block her, 
 Now that Grandma's off her rocker
