Extreme Makeover Home Edition is one of the
Top rated Sunday Night TV programs and a great show for the whole family
to watch. It was a wonderful treat when the TV show came to visit my
state of Michigan and surprise a family in need.

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

Considering cost of
living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home
could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970

the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy
bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and

costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods
$0.10. Since

and they mounted the front steps of their new apartment together. She
fumbled in her pocket for the key, her hands shaking, some part of her

at any minute. He doesn't even know you're gone, she thought, and
finally found the key. Well,
since that was the only plan the three of us were able to come up with
that whole evening, I figured it was destiny. There really wasn't

Army recruiting office. There were, of course, some tests for me to
take. Skip: "Yaw, I can see that, let me yell at him: --'Hay stupid, yaw
you, what you doing!"' Amery looks at Skip as if that might not be the
smartest thing to do. A little later I waved my hand around in front of my face to
clear some of the smoke and give myself a line of sight. I drained my
beer and told Murphy that I had to bail. He slapped me on the back and
headed toward the old scarred pool table. As I walked out into the
sunlight I was thinking that I'd never have to see the inside of that
place again.
