[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 306362, member: 84"] MM I so know what you mean. I grew up waaaay under the poverty line myself. That upbringing allowed me to be a stay at home Mom even though husband's pay always seemed to hover near the poverty line. Now that we're empty nesters, husband and I are rediscovering the friendship part of our relationship. With no difficult children in the house.........Well, it's MUCH easier. lol But now husband is out of a job. So, since we didn't have cable, phone, or internet for quite a while..........We watched old movies the kids had bought us as presents over the years and we'd never had time to watch, and old TV shows. We went thru my whole series of Red Skelton.....I haven't laughed that hard in a long time........and husband's series of the old Robinhood show from when he was a kid. Odd. I haven't had my fanny planted that long in front of a tv in about 10 yrs or more. LOL We eat what we want to eat, and that's not so hard on our tight budget as our food tastes don't quite match those of our kids. We're tickled to have say......fried egg sandwiches for supper. lol It's almost like it was when we were first married. And OMG you wouldn't believe how poor we were back then.:raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
