Not at all. That's one reason I work so hard now. I actually see coming from poverty as a positive influence in my life. The trick now is to pass a strong work ethic on to my kids who are growing up in an upper middle class home.

 

Btw this should be in off topic

 

Are you going to start a thread for every thought that crosses your mind ?

 

Isnt that what TW is for now?

 

Just curious

 

Nope
We didn't have 2GENs in the driveway
Walked to school
25 miles each way
Everyday
In the snow
And rain
But own a tacoma now
The end

 

Happy 10,000th

 

Didn't even realize it was either.... What a shame to waste it on this thread

 

Of course, that's what 2nd gen section is for, right?

 

Nah. Poor as shit, uphill struggle to say the least.

 

you forgot to add the snow was up to your butt and were barefoot

 

Congrats?

 

we had it pretty good i guess, never went without neccesities. but my dad farmed and worked a full time job and my mom was self employed for all of my young childhood then worked a full time job from the time i was 12 till i moved out. mom worked mon-fri dad worked feb-nov ha. his full time job was at a farm supply store so when he was busy farming he was also busy (70 hrs/wk) at his job, but alway managed to have a good deal of slack time during hunting season. we never had cable or satelite tv, and i still dont, i didnt get a cell phone till i was 16, and i got whooped when i needed it and i turned out just fine i recon. I know how to do alot of stuff now because i had to, and im thankful for that.

And that right there is the hard part. It's difficult to get kids to appreciate anything these day.

(and yes OZ, this should be in off-topic)

 

I rode my bike 20 miles each way to school for a week

 

You forgot that you walked to school uphill both ways carrying 100lbs of objects called "books" through the snow and broken glass! Come on now, get it right!

 

Was it motorized?

 

Geesh, I must of forgot my meds this a.m.
