OVERHEARD IN 1955

"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 $2000 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 'Gon e 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 the 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 thing! s 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."

Happy Wednesday, NnB.

Thank you for always being there with an appropriate poem.
Today's thread should have been titles "Spending the Golden Years with Bob". :)

Good Morning Amy
What a wonderful thread, such beautiful poems and lovely graphics. I don't know why but I've always have had a fear of old age from the time I was very young.

No Snatching

Read:
John 10:25-39

I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. —John 10:28

Bible In One Year: Numbers 4-6; Mark 4:1-20

In the mid-1950s, General Motors displayed more at their auto shows than just cars. At one show in Miami, GM featured a display of a million one-dollar bills, as well as the Hope Diamond (the largest blue diamond in the world).

One afternoon a thunderstorm came through the city, lightning flashed, and the lights went out. Immediately truckdrivers with their flashlights rushed to the special display and formed a circle around the armed guards who were already there. The diamond and the cash were now safely guarded with two levels of security.

In John 10, Jesus described the security of His people: "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand" (v.28). When we know Jesus as Savior, we're secure in His hands; we cannot lose our salvation. But there's another level of security. Jesus continued, "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand" (v.29).

The Hope Diamond and the large sum of cash were quite safe with their two levels of security. How much more are we eternally safe in the hands of Jesus and His Father, the Almighty God! —Anne Cetas

Christ's work makes us safe; God's Word makes us sure.

Great thread Amy!

We've got company and they don't seem to realize they've worn out their welcome... Art Ritis and Ben Gay.

Such a fun thread today! Poetry and Potpourri always is such a neat addition, and another opportunity to revisit some of those great poems and graphics from Amy's Place, along with bunches of *new* stuff, which is an even bigger treat!
