I grew up in the 50s, in a household of 12, in a two-story flat. The residuals of the food line still held. We lost alot, including my parents giving two children up for adoption for lack of being able to feed them.
We came out of that so strong Gail. Made me who I am today.
I had one little panda as a child, never got that ‘mama’ doll I craved. That poor panda had to be pried from my little hands.
Your right we came out stronger for the experiences. It will take that strength to turn back the tide of communism that is gripping our country.
I vowed I'd never go hungry again for any man/woman....home owner's ass. better watch out because I'll plow up that front yard and plant veggies and dare them to make me take it out after 0 has cut my SS/Medicare/Tricare to the bones and I still make to much money for 'assistance'!
I make quilts for LeBonher children's hospital here in Memphis and cough pillows. I know many of them have little to nothing because of their free loading, refuse to be educated parents. I won't punish the kids for the retradation of their parents mindset.
