I cannot remember how many
single mom's came to us after the divorce and were totally devastated
because they didn't know what was ahead. Lets put ourselves in a
courtroom during a divorce hearing. We have basically (2) or (3)
potential blooming idiots getting ready to prove their stupidity. You
guess who these "stars of the show" are. Well, lets quit the smokescreen
and I will tell you.
Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded
the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive
thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure
time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the
workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own
family.
According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was
$8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in
1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease
was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was
discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break
throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of
the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and
being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1959-chevrolet-fleetside-pickup.htm&rct=j&q=&esrc=s
Hannah's was just a hole-in-the-wall, long and
narrow with a bar running almost the whole length of the building. The
brick on the face of the building, and the white wooden door outside,
were nearly black from years of soot from the coke plant and steel
mills. Patrons tended to be older folks who spent what was left of their
paychecks on booze, Polish sausages, hard-boiled eggs, and illegal tip
boards. When you
negotiate with your prospective employer, don't be afraid to ask for the
highest amount. This is a good point to start from. Your prospective
employer will be negotiating with a list of his/her own as well.
So
you're thinking of trading in that gas guzzler collecting rust in the
driveway. According to the official "Cash for Clunkers" website, your
1979
buy truck new or used won't make the cut-even if you swear it's
the biggest piece of "clunk" on the block. The official rules state
vehicles must be less than 25 years old. As for the embarrassing
junk-mobile you just inherited from your crazy uncle-trade in vehicles
must be registered and insured continuously for the full year before you
participate. That's something that a lot of
married couples don't think about. Yes. You and the person you married
are legally bound to one another. Your spouse (unless you legally put
someone else in charge) will be the one they ask permission from if they
ever have to pull the plug on you. Your spouse will get your social
security money in the event of your passing. It didn't bother me that my
wife had all these legal rights as my wife but it bothered her. She
doesn't want me or any one else having legal powers over her. I know that $20,900 is a goodly sum of money, but in 13 years we
more than doubled our money. And that is looking at just the financial
aspect of it. The many wonderful hours we had working on something
together that we both love, you can't even put a price tag on
that. "Trucks bounced back during the month," says Paul Ballew,
executive director of market and industry analysis at GM. Chrysler,
conversely, boasts its truck sales, "The retail side of our business has
really shown a lot of strength for us in October, especially with key
products such as Jeep Commander, Dodge Ram pickup... Jeep Liberty," says
Steven Landry, Chrysler Group vice president of sales and field
operations.
