I remember buying moms cigarettes for 30 cents or less, and later, when I was old enough to drive, gasoline was about 25 cents. That's how life was then, and I didn't have a problem with it, and I still don't today. We were never forced to eat anything, but if we didn't want the food we could walk away. Sometimes, if I wasn't very hungry, I would only eat till I was full. We were never punished for that. |

You put a quarter in the machine and the cigarette pack had two pennies on the side, under the cellophane. They also had penny candy. Bread was about a quarter too. |

Admiral Popeye is the finest officer in the US navy today. Our beloved president trump asked him to stay on duty a few more years, though he could have retired in 1950. You must be prejudiced. Is it because the admiral is married to a dark brown lady from another ****ry? Is it because the admiral's brother is a raving homosexual? Is it because the admiral is a walking sphincter? |

We weren't either, but they did have one rule, you could take as much as you wanted, but you had to eat what you took. I only got caught on that one once with home canned cherries, I sat at the table for a very long time before they gave in. LOL Cheri |

We ate pretty well too since we lived on a ranch with pretty much fresh everything, beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, and so on, but mom and grandma did not bake bread often at all, too many other chores came first with seven kids and not all the modern conveniences we have these days. They never discussed money with us kids, but I don't think we were rolling in it by any means. Cheri |

Fortunately, I was never in a Vietnamese prison camp, but if I had been, I imagine I would have eaten anything I could get. One of my uncles was a POW in north korea. He lived on a few fish heads boiled in a pot of rice for a long time. It was all they gave them, and damn little of that. He survived. Some didn't. |

I have a cousin who was a POW in Vietnam for over 5 years, he would have eaten, and did, just about anything he could get his hands on. Thankfully, I have never known true hunger. Cheri |
