What is your take on The 80's?
I only have recollection of the latter half of the '80s. It was a good time in my life, so I look back fondly.
I loved those book catalogs. I had to save my allowance, however. .25 a week.
That's right.
You had an allowance? My parents didn't believe in allowances. Or toy guns. They were cheap vegan pacifists.
At least mine weren't vegan. But that .25 was an allowance earned for doing chores. Tell me THAT's not cheap.
I once raked leaves for this elderly neighbor. Even bagged them. And she paid me 5 cents a bag. WTF? That's backbreaking work right there. I think I ended up earning less than a buck.
<- - - - -Got 10 dollars a week until he was 15 then it was bumped up to 20 a week.
But, I'm putting myself through college so I guess it's a trade off.
You should have turned tricks SM.
No one put me through college - luckily I didn't last long there anyway.
mateo, what the eff happened to the Joel Vig thread? It's gone!
Um. .. no thanks, Stagey.
I did hustle a bit in my late teens.
Rath, I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the threads that have disappeared today.
Wow Rath-
I guess bww deleted it.
I walked away, so I didn't see. did people comment on it?
mateo, whatever happened to that Jap Sailor Moon avatar? I kinda miss it.
-ANESE!!
Gosh, that was decades ago. That was one of my first Av's.
Yes, we were having a discussion of logistics of how a situation like Vig's should have been handled in the first place so as not to end up where it is now. I walked away for a while too, who knows what happened.
hm interesting.
I didn't want to stir the pot, as it were - I just thought it was an interesting bit of news.

I don't get an allowance! Never have! I'll be putting myself through college, too.
We danced to "Happy Phantom" by Tori Amos tonight. I think it's my new favorite song.

Well, that's my evening contribution. I'm going to bed.
Good night, lovies!
Some people on this board are so loud, I'm getting a headache.
DGG, I think we should we should perform Last Five Years in the middle of Central Park for money. Of course, visually we'd make the least likely couple ever, but let's hope they'll all be too drunk to notice.
Wow, I killed the thread. I've always wanted to do it, but now that I've succeeded It doesn't feel a glorious as I assumed.
Wait! What!
