Thread Name: BS: How Poor Were (Are) You?
Subject: RE: BS: How Poor Were (Are) You?
In my neighborhood growing up in the mountains, if we didn't grow it, shoot it or make it, we didn't need it ..

Funny we never thought of ourselves as poor, we just made do with what we had ..

only now as an adult, I realize how broke we really were, but we were happy, never hungry and always had a roof over our heads .. seems like a good way to grow up now that I look at it. We had the whole woods as our playground .. never needed camp or toys, we had it all right there
