Yep we had tickets too. You got 4 if you were a kid, and 8 for an adult. Then they switched to the electronic system a few years back (I forget exactly when).

Tickets ?
We had paper cards that got stamped.. Could not take out more than 2 books as a kid and 4 as adults..
Library 'tickets' were a little pouch with your name and address on them.
when you wanted a book, you presented your ticket at the issue counter. a card was taken from the back of your book and placed in the pouch. The return date was stamped in the back of the book, and the library kept your ticket until you returned the book.

Yah I remember those but we only had those in our school library..
Never really thought of them as a ticket and as far as I recall they called them book cards..
As for gas prices, Iremember being young enough that the price of gas didn't matter. Mum just stopped off at the two pumps on the car dealership forecourt, passed the pump jockey five pounds, he filled the tank and still had time to check the oil and water, and we were good for another week.
I still remember milk delivered in glass bottles by the milk man.. He used to milk up the empties as well.
Taken yesterday in my nephews room (Thanksgiving).
I remember them doing away with Pluto, kind of strange not seeing it up on the wall.

I am that old I can remember when your mother moaned it was because of pleasure, and not from the arthritis of today.
I can remember dollar gas
Gas is down to 3.85.
Been 3.10 at times here in the last couple weeks in the midwest.
I also remember milkman deliveries and bottle pick-ups. Also the huckster truck, and our insurance man coming to the house often...I don't know if it was monthly but it seems like it. His name was Ben.
I hear that...it was close to bucks for awhile here.
Odd isnt it...same gas just a different place.
I often see a quarter a gallon variation within 100 miles from me when I am out driving.
And the Five and Ten with dyed peeps running all over the table bins before Easter.
I remember solid chocolat bunnies at easter, not the hollow one. lol
I also remember the milkman.
There was diaper pick up for a while to...but it didnt last long.
Knobs on the tv...that had to warm up about a half a minute.
A coca cola was good....especially the small 7 ounce ones.
Would cost about 100 bucks now lol
speaking of milk, wasn't the cream on top of the milk ?
