[quote=Anonymous]I was actually thinking about this last night. When I was growing up poor, we had old threadbare sheets and no top sheets. Our blankets were quilts used to wrap furniture that my father brought home from work. Our towels were packed in cheap laundry detergent as an incentive to buy the cheap detergent. I now have the best sheets, towels, and blankets, even for my kids and in the guest room. My husband doesn't understand even though he also grew up poor. We bought all bread and related products from the day old bread store that always had a hint of mold. I rarely throw away food, but if I smell mold on bread, it immediately goes out the window for birds or other critters. We couldn't afford sanitary napkins, so I wore bundled up rags that had to be washed by hand in cold water to get out the blood. When I joined the Navy, the best thing was real Kotex. [/quote]
