    Back in my day, $10.00 bought me and my girlfriend dinner (At the local smorgasbord), gas for cruising 'til about 10:30 PM and a root beer at XXX Drive In on the way home.
    Even further back in my day, $1.00 got you two bus tokens (10 cents each way), into the monster matinee (25 cents), a candy bar (10 cents) and a soda (15 cents) and I had to give my mother back the left over change!

    Back in my day I went to the sink for a glass of water, not the fridge for a bottle of water.

    Back in my day
    you didn't lock doors
    you knew all the kids in the neighborhood
    played in the summer from sun up till after sun down with kids at the park or the school - no play dates
    Watched Courageous cat, Gigantor, speed racer.
