[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya know what, it's my turn to rant.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about FARMS.  I am sick and tired of hearing all the complaining, whining and blaming.  I could give a damn what race FARMS are.

Lemme tell ya, I grew up in a dirt poor home, my dad was the son of immigrants, abused as a child, bipolar and a drunk.  He left us when I was 5 years old.  My mom came from a broken home, she was raised by a single mom who was the pariah of her community, and she in turn also raised us as a single mom.  We were shipwrecked in a backward dirt poor coal mining town in the middle of nowhere, with no opportunities.  There was no low income housing, we had to room with strangers because we couldn't afford an apartment.  We lived on rice and beans.  I worked two, three and four part time minimum wage jobs at a time, scrubbing pots and pans, pumping gas, painting houses, cashier, you name it.  I didn't sit on the stoop sucking on a 40 ounce, I didn't sit around BSing and smoking blunts all night and get up at noon, I worked my ass off.  I managed to put myself through college, managed to get out of that hell hole town, worked and worked my ass off to get ahead in one job after another, paid off my loans, put myself through grad school, waited til I was financially sound before having babies and now I have that family and own my home.

That's how you do it.  I saw I had a problem, so I fixed it.  You don't sit around waiting for someone else to fix your damn problem for you.  As the old folks say, the Good Lord helps those who help themselves.[/quote]

I agree  with  you 100%!  [/quote]
