In response to PB's wage question on GCC
Feb 25, 2022 13:19:41 #
Worked a paper route in my
early teens - made about
$10/week(with tips) - at 16
(1965), worked in a local
restaurant as a dishwasher for $0.95/hr. until I paid for my
driving lessons and got my
license !
Shortly after getting license, the owner came in and wanted me to clean up somebody's mess - told
him he could clean it himself, as
I was done with that job !
OJ - Was that 'pursuit of happiness' along the lines of 'getting lucky' or
participating in the 'submarine
races' ?
(Inquiring minds want to know !)

Thank you, PB ! I can still read all the posts in all sections, but I still can't respond or reply except via the Attic or in PMs - no idea how long I'm
going to be in limbo, but I'm not
going anywhere else !
OJ - Same here, buddy ! Couldn't
wait to get my license (Dec.1965), then my first car ('57 Chevy/July, 1966) - plenty of room in THAT back seat (for wh**ever) ! That said, the term 'four on the floor' carried a double meaning - it could be a standard shift pattern for a manual
t***smission, OR a 'double-date' !

It's really nice to know I still have friends on here that I can depend
on, even without asking for favors !
This venue is my only social media, and has helped me get through
some difficult times since I've
signed on, which is more than
I can say for my (so-called) family !

Thanks, guys ! The help and moral support are much appreciated !
Fred - I consider the Attic to be the 'big' table, if only for the lack of censorship - language and politics
are 'adult' matters and the 'big' table
was always for the adults and/or the 'older' kids ! At least here I can voice my opinions and/or use 'adult'
language when I get wound up over some issue without fear of being censored or reprimanded !
That said, I miss responding to
a lot of the jokes and funny memes/captions on GCC, and
trying to help folks on the 'Main'
and 'Location-Specific' sections
when/if I can contribute anything
helpful !

Not to worry ! The cobwebs are cleared, any/all spiders have been eliminated/eradicated, we've got
A/C, fans, a 50" widescreen TV,
sofa and lounge chairs, and the
fridge is packed with beer, soda and/or iced tea ! Hard liquor is
BYOB, but we can stock mixers
and I'll be bringing my blender
in to make margaritas and other mixed drinks ! It's all under control !

Just the price we pay for being
straightforward and outspoken regarding our convictions and
beliefs, especially if you're on
the 'right' side of the fence !
