[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 220838, member: 84"] Star You're right. People who have grown wasteful and greedy are getting serious attitude adjustments, and that is a good thing. Overall, we've become very spoiled. Not me. lol I grew up dirt poor and have never been much better during my married life. Second hand is what clothed my kids. lol And I've always done what I can for another person in need, even if it isn't much. I was raised that way. I'll say that I'm releaved that easy child has taken lessons she learned growing up to heart. Because she was such a spend thrift there for a few years I was really worried about her. Now though, she's tightening the belt just the way I taught her. She and sister in law will be ok. :) Skeeter....oh, my. That's awful. I've heard there are nearby counties also shutting down factories that are important in their communities.......large factories, too. I can say, no one around here is sticking their noses up at jobs at fast food places anymore. And easy child took me to lunch sunday.......the waitress had such an attitude problem. easy child refused to leave her a tip. Said that too many people out there nowdays would be thrilled to have that job for the waitress to act that way. (and easy child is big on tipping) Our food pantries are empty, even the church ones. Our county services are used up. And yeah.....when it snowed just recently there was no salt put out even though it was slick as heck on the roads. Second hand stores are a booming business here now.
