Glad you're here! GREAT thread! Really takes me down memory lane! And I didn't even kill all that many brain cells back in the day, either!

I can remember "dime" bags. I remember when four of us would go in on a $20 bag - $5 per person - and then we were REALLY gonna be living it up that night. A $20 bag was a BIG deal back in the early '70s.
