Yeah yeah you; quit bragging cause you live in a NON DEPRESSION hit- farm, mid western state where Dorothy or somebody lives. Did I ever tell you I wasn’t a negro? Did I ever ask you why you have a big head?
Oh, the depression hit me all right.
Lost that nice paying job. The one that could afford the wife’s car payments. The one that could afford a weekly date night. The employer provided health insurance long gone.
I paid over $2k in doctor bills last month for myself out of a rapidly diminishing savings.
I feel damned lucky I found another job. Paying me just barely over half what the other was. NO BENNIES. Longer commute.
We don’t go out. WE DON’T DO ANYTHING.
Except go grocery shopping once a week.
We have to make that count.
