Thread Name: BS: How Poor Were (Are) You?
Subject: RE: BS: How Poor Were (Are) You?
I "Came from money". My father was an attorney as were my grandfathers. I went to private school, spent time at country clubs. The only thing I miss from the country club is the Fouth of July buffet and fireworks. (I pigged out on coconut snowballs!)

It was never my sort of life. But I've had to put up with a sort of bass ackward snobbery all my adult life, because I'm not "plain folks".

I clean houses for a living. One of the ladies I work for is playing games. I've been through it before. Somebody isn't happy with her job or her marriage and takes it out on me. Since money's tight, I have to put up with the games.
