Had no dad so my 5 brothers and sisters and me worked at a donut shop my mom ran. They were between 16-20 years old and i was 9. I didn't get paid but i work just as hard. They made me stay in the back cleaning and making boxes fore the donuts. Then my mom married my step dad who ran a janitorial service. I worked Friday and Saturday from 5 pm to 4 am and 5 pm to 4 am Monday through Friday during the summer. Used a buffer stripped the floors waxed them and clean toilets, etc etc. Never got paid. Why hire someone when you get me for free. Did that from age 12-15. My first paying job at 15 1/2 i got $1.65 an hour. within 5 month i got a raise to $ 2.00 an hour I felt like Donald Trump.

I salute you. I know how to use a floor buffer after it learned how to use me. I can buff the shit out of a floor. I know how to clean a toilet too.

Damn. I was making $9/ hour in 1975, driving a '61 Chevy pickup and moving furniture.

Holy Carp. That's $52 per hour in 2024 dollars. Total baller.

I was making $5.20 in '79, and that at the time was an actual living wage. IIRC, minimum wage was about $2.65 then.

Chicken is gross. I like when you bite into a piece and there’s a vein in it. Yummy veins.

Of course you make what your daughter will choose to eat,who wouldn't for their kid ? We wish our son was still here to cook for and we would cook anything our daughter would want.

But...I do like chicken, and like Jim Morrison said
You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken than any man ever seen.....

C+ maybe B- depending on what it looks like inside.

Back then you couldn't get a "real" job unless your parents were poor, because of CETA. So a friend's mom formed a little business moving furniture for apartment dwellers in and around Boston. As soon as I got my driver's license we started. We charged $27/ hour for the team, cash only. She paid for the truck, insurance, fuel, maintenance, advertising, took the calls and made the schedule. Craig and I did the physical work, collected the cash, and Since I was a year older did all the driving. We split the cash three ways evenly.

My friends that did manage to get "real" jobs were making minimum wage, which I recall was $3.15.

Did that for three years. After my first year of college I got a job in my field as a draftsman and was making $5/ hour.

$1.65 an hour 100 years ago is like being paid almost $30 an hour now. Why you flexin' on us, Anj?

Edit: there’s a lot of judgy ignorant morons here and in the world in general. If someone wants to eat a pine cone let em eat a damn pine cone. Also stfu about eating pine cones.

The STFU part is what I'm looking for from every ****ing Vegan on the earth. Including your daughter. Let her know for me, would ya? There's a fine chap!

Is this some sort of humble brag? Whoppity ****ing do! I eat cereal for breakfast. Sometimes for supper. Should I request a trophy from the needy **** Millenials of the world? This falls under the title of "WGAFF". Enjoy your 'veggies'.

The question is. When you're sitting on the toilet does your feet touch the floor? The_Dude wanted me to ask you that.
