"We have forgotten life's other values---good food, art, culture, literature..........." RyanH

These are not the good things in life......

Friends,Family, and health. They are the things that matter. Of course time to enjoy them helps alot also.

You can keep your art, culture and literature. Just give me health!

I grew up in a middle class family, whatever that is, and we had money for some things, and some things we didn't have money for. I know my father did his best in providing for my family, he worked his butt off so my mom could stay home whith the kids. I just wish he had lived long enough to enjoy his life, he was always working right up to the day he passed away.

BM,
Thanks for the comments.....greatly appreciated. Like I said, I think you are too hard on yourself sometimes.

RyanH,
If you read back through these posts you will see that even people with not so well off parents dont have a good relationship with them. You'll have to excuse me for not feeling sorry for you. It seems to me that it is human nature to find reasons that you are worse off than everybody else.....

Vixen,
You are absolutely right.....most of the world is only interested in themselves. Its a shame that more people arent prepared to help others. The only contributions I can currently make, due to a 80+ hour work week, is monetary or in one or two cases sitting down and listening to their problems.

RyanH, I would have loved to have money instead of love. In my case i got neither. Dad was off banging his secretary (literally), and my mom was at the bar. There are lots of us here who got neither love nor money. Only thing good is I am independant, and I learned to cook dinner in like 3rd grade or I didn't eat.

Okay, MP5!

Quit whining! We all had issues to deal with. Deal with yours.

i successfully predicted bikinmom would be big in this thread. she is the kind of person that wants everyone to think she had it rough growing up. i think its generally a woman thing to like to believe you succeeded despite all the obstacles put in front of you.

I was middle class I guess. My dad worked doing accounting for a big company, and my mom worked at a rehabilitation center. (Group home) Later on, my dad started his own business and made probably 100k, but then my mom and dad split up. So now i've been living with my dad and we are lower middle class. We are starting our own business soon and hope to eventually be in the upper class.

You shouldn't minimize the fact that you are independent. That says a helluva alot about you as a person. Many people in even their 30's and 40's still depend on others.

May, what is your problem? You are just mad because I overcame adversity without getting so fucked in the head that I started sucking dick like you.

From what I read on the bathroom walls, you're much better at it than I am.
