[QUOTE="Shari, post: 390393, member: 1848"] Oh, and I might add...growing up, you helped people. When the neighbor girl was stricken with a brain tumor that they fought for 3 yearsthat killed her, her little brother lived with us. To my knowledge, they never gave us a dime, and that was just fine. When another neighbor was killed in an accident, the combines in the community were rallied and his crops came out first. Each farmer paid his own fuel to get it done, and that can be hundreds of dollars in those machines. They weren't hired. That's just what you did. When another family lost their farm during the drought, and the mom had a breakdown, their youngest son was a senior in high school and working for my dad. He just moved in for a period of time. Again, not a dime exchanged (and he'll tell ya I cook WAY too much macaroni! lol). He worked for dad to make his way through college. We didn't really have anything to speak of. But we shared what we had, cause sometimes it was a lot more than someone else. I hadn't even really ever thought that we coulda had more "money" if we hadn't done these other things, but no way would I consider that, even now. And I can't imagine the Brooms putting out a dime for someone other than the golden grandchildren.... [/QUOTE]
