[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656293, member: 1550"] Ha, ha, Copa. You rock. It's always best to be yourself :) It was maybe not until thirty five that I admitted to myself that I was more earthy and maybe even (gasp) blue collar than my more academic family and the many who sought to be more sophisticated, wealthy, and upscale than they actually were :) I never identified with THAT, but th e idea of growing up in an upscale suburb where most people valued education and THINGS even more than people, it took me a long time to admit that I really get along much better with those who are just down-to-earth average folks and, like me, know nothing about name brand clothes or the makes of various cars :). I know nothing and care nothing about the latest fashion...that HAS to make me a shame to my community ;) As soon as I married, and that was young, I fled the suburb and have no fond memories of, what I refer to as, Snobville, IL :) Some people really had money there. Some wanted to have more than they did. I grew up near Chicago. [/QUOTE]
