Remember the Good Old Days? Sock Hops? Drive-in Movies? Buddy Holly? Or other things that made it Fabulous? You know, before cellphones? Come on in and share your memories. Or take a trip back in time. ![](http://images22.fotki.com/v816/photos/2/292835/2872062/divider_greenDOT-vi.jpg)
Let's start with the 1950. ![](http://images22.fotki.com/v816/photos/2/292835/2872062/divider_greenDOT-vi.jpg)
First Modern Credit Card Introduced In 1949, Frank X. McNamara thought of a way for customers to have just one credit card that they could use at multiple stores. McNamara discussed the idea with two colleagues and the three pooled some money and started a new company in 1950 which they called the Diners Club. ![](http://images22.fotki.com/v816/photos/2/292835/2872062/divider_greenDOT-vi.jpg)

Disgraceful for sure! Cowards!
It says volumes about the differences between Christianity and Islam.
That it does. And it will never change.

Congratulations to the Buena High School Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) cadets!!
Just keep them away from the White House and Congress. The cadets will completely overshadow so many of those poor examples.
