senior in high school. The majority of my job was cleaning up after people. It’s more than just returning items that were not purchased to where they belong on the sales floor. While there was quite a lot of that, there was also quite a lot of trash. Candy wrappers, empty beverage containers, even dirty diapers were entirely common…
A pig named Sambo, losing her favorite purse to a hole in the wall, the ruination of a little pink dress, three sisters and one crippled brother, playing in the creek, and later a lanky and blond haired and blue eyed young man… all memories and shadows of a little girl’s former life. Most may remember the 1950s as an era akin to the Roaring 20s and characterized by swirling poodle skirts, tapping saddle shoes, and bustling soda shops across America. However, Patsy Ruth Carroll can recall the 50s…
vegetables, and fruit. Make sure to rotate your stock by using the oldest food first and place the newest in the back. Powdered drink additives are advised, as well as flour, sugar, salt, dry milk, and at least the more common spices. Adding power bars and candy would also be a good idea. If you are in a situation that has you cut off from power and/or society for an extended period, you will really appreciate having a variety of things to eat. Water cannot be over emphasized.

Childhood in the 1950’s Many things have changed over the last several decades in our culture, including childhood trends. Many would argue that the 1950s, for example, was a more basic time, with less complications and no electronics. For example, during that decade, a family might own one TV set, so compared to families and children in current day, nearly everything was different. While there may be some similarities in childhood in general throughout the decades, there are many more…
December 2011, I hop off the bus and realize that my dad is not home. That was the first sign that something was wrong. I had a feeling in my stomach that I had never experienced before, and that was dread. Before I can ask what’s going on, I’m told to quickly pack a bag, and that we would be staying somewhere else for the night.
