Default Re: Gas ration WW-2

i remember all of that, putting a worn out tire with the bead cut off inside another tire, a really big boot, nucoa, imatation butter in a package, it was white, then they put in a small color button inside the package that you broke inside and then neaded it thru the contents to make it yellow to look like butter, selling bacon grease to the grocer for money, sold by the coffee can, big and small ones, coffee cans you had to open with the key attached to the top of the can, my mom would save them and strech them out at xmas time and hang on the xmas tree for ornaments, the ice man coming once a week to deliver ice, and the milk man twice a week, and i do remember those push lawn mowers, god i hated those things(still do), back then you really had to work hard to make ends meet, not like the spoiled kids today, in the movie Leap Year the pampered lady (Amy Adams) got sick when the chicken was killed for dinner, she was ask "dont you know where chickens come from" and her answer was,yes, from the frozen food section, lol i think that answer was hilarious, ok no more rambling
