Because it wasn’t coming a few years ago, it’s artificially created, which you know well. I knew food would get expensive with climate, but this seems meant to thin the herd. They were actually offering paying off your groceries in 4 installments, no interest. Unsustainable.

Terrifying but likely the bare naked truth.

I remember how thrilled my pals Pat & Mike (not kidding) found out they could use Pat’s cc for groceries. That was cash poor students in the 70s. Break from ramen.

I lived on yogurt, Raisin Bran, rice, and fruits&veggies from working the OH unit, and eggs from helping out at the poultry production unit. CalPoly was AG and architecture/engineering, thank god.

Sure musta helped. I recall being satisfied on crackers and honey. Great meal to give your kid.

We were all mostly penniless, everyone was in the 70’s. Our post Nixon/Ford recession was very stubborn.

So true! And maybe a couple hundred bucks in offices. No power. May start 5 cents above min wage. The Working Poor and no one cared too much.

Even the working rich were hit and not happy about it! My dad didn’t buy a new car for 2 years, sold the house in Jamaica, I loved that for him!😂 My sister told me, we weren’t in touch at all.

See?! It still brings pleasure!😆 It was a blah house. I just found an old envelope of photos in one of Sean’s portfolios I hadn’t explored-he was an architect so he had many. I’ll take a look, I think there’s one of me bored out my mind there. They entertained customers, fun, fun, fun.

Will we EVER see your pretty face, Huck? Or is it a professional thing? I hesitate to post some for that reason. But an old one of you and Sean would be nice. 🥰

You saw the one of me and hubs, yes? Sociopathic family member is/has been scary/dangerous for decades, I don’t leave them up long for that reason.

Sean wasn’t on that trip, just me and the old fogies. No idea who took that one, but I’ll look for it. Gotta get ready for the docs now.
