I now have sciatica, herniated disk, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and high cholesterol. I'm pretty healthy though.

I thought it was 55 back then, but I was born in '71 so I could be wrong...

Re: So what has changed since you moved here over the years?
In 1972 I got about $2.60 per pound sterling, cars were still the length of football fields, but when I got one of the first "sub compacts" I could fill it up for $5 (and yes, I don't recall a speed limit on the interstates in some states). Offices were totally over-heated in winter and utterly freezing in summer. What has changed personally? Well, two husbands, ten dogs, two apartments, four houses, eight cars, six jobs later I still feel like the kid from Yorkshire, but I've enjoyed my life in NYC and CT.

Biker groups are large and have a lot of vote power, so they were able to put down the vote requiring bikers to wear a helmet, cyclists on the other hand didn't have the power. Technically anyone cycling a bike must wear a helmet, but cops only get snippy with those under 18..and that's only if they can be bothered to put their doughnuts down

Oh yeah....the Red Sox finally pulled their finger out of their panties and won a couple world series, the Pats got good and won some stuff, even the Bruins and Celts managed to get some jewellery.

Definitely one of the perks!
Good to hear things are going well Sally, I know you have been a bit unhappy in the not too distant past, hope the trend continues for you all
