<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 7655921, member: 97383"]Blake, Your dad saying he had a great weekend for a buck in the 1960s sounds like a stretch <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I spent my teen years in the 1960s & I can tell you first hand that you needed more than $1.00 to have a good weekend <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. When my brother & I reached the age of 13 our father stopped giving us a $1.00 a week allowance & told us to get a job <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! Just to spite him we did get a job on weekends selling balloons, cotton candy, cheap flags & other junk at parades & festivals around Rochester, NY <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. We worked for an old Jewish vendor who let us keep half of the proceeds of what we sold. On a good weekend we could make $15-$20 each <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Life was good back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
