What were housing prices like relative to income in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s?
Q. Does anybody have any links that would provide such data?
A. In 1976 my mom and dad bought a 45,000 3 bedroom house. They put 10% down. My father earned $20,000 per year. My mom did not work a wage paying job and they had four kids to raise.
I have been getting bug bites all over my legs/arms in my house?
Q. It mainly happens when I am in my spare bedroom. It is very painful and I can not see the bugs. I sprayed the carpet all over with flea spray and it does not work. What do I do?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. What are bed bugs? What do bed bugs look like?
Bed bugs are small, oval, nonflying insects that belong to the insect family Cimicidae, which includes three species that bite people. Adult bed bugs reach 5-7 mm in length, while nymphs (juveniles) are as small as 1.5 mm. Bed bugs have flat bodies and may sometimes be mistaken for ticks or small cockroaches. Bed bugs feed by sucking blood from humans or animals. Adult bed bugs are reddish brown in color, appearing more reddish after feeding on a blood meal. Nymphs are clear in color and appear bright red after feeding. The wings of bed bugs are vestigial, so they cannot fly.
Where are bed bugs found?
Bed bugs were common in the U.S. before World War II and became rare after widespread use of the pesticide DDT began in the 1940s and 1950s. They remained prevalent in other areas of the world and, in recent years, have been increasingly observed again in the U.S. Increases in immigration and travel from the developing world as well as restrictions on the use of stronger pesticides may be factors that have led to the relatively recent increase in bed bug infestations. While bed bugs are often reported to be found when sanitation conditions are poor or when birds or mammals (particularly bats) are nesting on or near a home, bed bugs can also live and thrive in clean environments. Crowded living quarters also facilitate the spread of bed bugs.
Bed bugs can live in any area of the home and can reside in tiny cracks in furniture as well as on textiles and upholstered furniture. They tend to be most common in areas where people sleep and generally concentrate in beds, including mattresses, box springs, and bed frames. Other sites where bed bugs often reside include curtains, the corners inside dressers and other furniture, cracks in wallpaper (particularly near the bed), and inside the spaces of wicker furniture.
Since bed bugs can live for months without feeding, they can also be found in vacant homes.
I just found a bed bug on my sofa. I started getting what I thought were mosquito bites in January. My kids and I were covered in bites. They look and feel just like mosquito bites, so I really didn't even think that it could be bed bugs. I did find a mosquito in my living room last week and I was able to kill it. So I thought all the bites were over. Well, they weren't. I looked up on line info on bed bugs and I checked all my furniture and beds and I didn't see a thing. So I thought maybe it's another mosquito. It wasn’t a mosquito. I think I know where they came from too. I have been living here for 5 yrs and never had any problems with bugs. My step son comes over every other weekend and he was complaining of "spider" bites he was getting at home. This was after he got a new bed, which I think his mom got as a hand me down. I bet that is where they came from. I am so freaking upset. They just gross me out.

Have you ever owned a pair of penny loafers?
Q. I understand penny loafers are still quite popular with lawyers . As unscrupulous as many lawyers are today, they should be forced to work for pennies .
Note : That was just a joke and wasn't meant to offend anyone .

A. Yes, throughout all my high school years (1959-1962) and college years and beyond. I still wear loafers.
I remember what a shock it was for some parents when teen girls began wearing penny loafers to school sans bobby sox....circa 1962 and beyond.
I own a very, very old pair of Bass Weejuns penny loafers that I can't bring myself to throw away. They're badly scratched, have worn out soles, one shoe has a small split on the side...years ago I stopped polishing them, so they slowly dried out and now look very tacky. BUT they are still incredibly comfortable. I only wear them when working around the house...with white socks and blue jeans(!)...this kind of 1950s fashion faux pas drives my adult daughters up the wall. But those shoes are more comfortable than bedroom slippers. I still jokingly point to those old loafers and tell my kids and wife, "Please bury me in these bad boys."
