I contributed to grocery and rent funds when I was at home.  I was gone
a lot as a teemn but I did like to eat at home when I could.

My parents are buying a house soon here in town and my mom as mentioned
she'd like to have a family dinner often as my younger lives in town
also.  It'd be nice to spend more time together as we're all older now.

Social Security's allowed monthly work income levels are based offof
1984 wages; Congress has never adjusted them for inflation.

I was complaining when I was 16 about paying 69 cents a gallon for gas.
I was driving a 1978 Ford LTD that never passed a gas station.
