The one I have was my dad's, is from the 30's or 40's and while it fires, it's a rough shot. So, I'm jealous. And Julia, there are tons of good canning recipes online. ;-) You know what I want?

Not at all, no bags packed for anyone, I should probably get on that... hahaha<br /><br />I spent some time in South Carolina after high school. I didn't much of the State itself but what I did was pretty. I mostly saw drill sergeants and grass, lots and lots of grass. <br /><br /><br />"We are heading up to NKY later today!"<br /><br />Thats cool! Its neat to see someone from the area! We're heading out to Forest Fair/Cincinnati Mills/whatever you want to call it Mall today. But only after the MIL and I go pick up the stroller her and fil bought for us :P, I've been oogling a sit n stand for awhile now and she bought us one! Then we're going to take the kids to Bass Pro to see the Easter Bunny.<br /><br />Then I'm going to come home and finish cleaning and baking. I'm attempting a homemade cheesecake later tonight. 0_0<br /><br />and Julia, is your husband perhaps friends with mine? They sound alike! My hubster spent roughly $1400 a month or so ago on 2 new handguns. Making the total number of handguns 4, and 1 shotgun. His next purchase is another shotgun, and he wants a rifle. Him buying the guns is how I ended up with my Kindle Fire b/c I was not a happy Mama when he came home with 2 new guns. Well I guess if the world goes to chaos in December we'll be semi well prepared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150281513445964347.post-53321860971907317012012-04-07T07:22:40.027-04:002012-04-07T07:22:40.027-04:00LIsa:

I appreciate that offer more than you know, thank you. We have a cousin who lives in Greensboro and she has said if he needs a place or any help, she'll ave his ass so I think we'll be okay but if not, I'll remember this and it's very much appreciated. :-))<br /><br />I completely agree about the entitlement thing, but I also think there *was a lot of crime like this back then, taking into account the lesser population. We just didn't hear about a lot of it.

May I ask what area? If he's near Raleigh (I'm about 20 miles east but I work downtown) and needs anything, email me and I'll send you my phone number. It never hurts to have a local contact.

They were being taught in school that things like the Depression could never happen again, because of governmental controls. I'm so grateful that mine took *my lesson to heart eventually, and was as prepared as possible for the recession.<br />It did seem that *most kids *and their parents had a spend-it-all mentality. With that came some pretty palpable anger as times changed. Out of that anger ... ? I don't know if it translates to violence or not. Maybe sometimes it does.StringOfRandomLettershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287790879188505756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150281513445964347.post-89269351570393713802012-04-03T14:43:44.936-04:002012-04-03T14:43:44.936-04:00"It almost makes me feel that the thing that ..."It almost makes me feel that the thing that changed was that feeling of entitlement....when it used to be about being happy you had a job that you stuck with your whole life kind of thing."<br /><br />I think entitlement is a huge part of the problem. So many people think things are owed to them, or they deserve it. When in fact they aren't entitled to a thing, nor have they earned it. <br /><br />I also think it has something to do with taking responsibility for yourself, and how kids are parented as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150281513445964347.post-64335774373456620292012-04-03T13:32:48.896-04:002012-04-03T13:32:48.896-04:00Richard Speck in Chicago.

Apparently from what I was able to find we have been having these things happen quite regularly for over 40 years.

Y'all are damn Yankees, nearly. ;-)" <~~ Made me giggle<br /><br /><br />We don't have much family left, I come from one of those families that has been completely destroyed by drugs/alcohol. My dad is 51 this year, he is the youngest of my grandma's 3. Both of his sisters are dead, 1 from a drug overdose, the other murdered. One of my cousins died of a drug overdose in 2003, and the family that's left is in and out of jail. True story, my aunt that was murdered.. actually made America's Most Wanted in 2001 :(<br /><br />Of my grandma's 3 kids, she had 13 grandkids. Of those only 3 of us actually stayed in the family, the rest were taken away by social services and placed for adoption. Both my cousins are older than me by 13 & 15 years. The one who died of an overdose had a little boy but he was taken by his fathers family. My other cousin had 3 kids, the first 2 their dad took, the last one the state took. Unfortunately her oldest daughter is following the same path as her mom. <br /><br />I say this in a non bragging tone (because really who would brag about such a things, its really sad) but I am the only family member left that is okay. I don't do drugs/drink etc. I follow the laws, graduated high school, college and still in college. Its very lonely, and sad for me.<br /><br />Knowing my dad is essentially homeless and my grandma is in a nursing home it can all be so much at times. I tried to take care of my grandma but after losing her kids her mind has never been the same (I should mention my grandma raised me and my 2 cousins) <br /><br />well there, sorry for writing a novel. My husband doesn't talk about my family, and I don't bring them up to him. His response is "who cares, forget about them" however that is not something I've ever been able to do, its just recently I've been able to accept the situation for what it is. 0_0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150281513445964347.post-27044877497190912912012-04-03T11:27:00.025-04:002012-04-03T11:27:00.025-04:00Lisa, yes that is correct.

It's just completely out of his control, isn't it? :-( "<br /><br />I used to think it wasn't but as an adult I see that it really is, he can't stop, he doesn't know any other way of life. My dad's family has been in the horse racing industry since well the earliest I know of is the late 20's early 30's. My grandfather was a jockey, and my dad started on the track as a kid. Somewhere in there alcohol joined the party. As long as my dad works with horses, he will drink. Unfortunately horses are all he knows, and all he wants to do. He's worked at a few food places here and there but horses are it. <br /><br />I'm honestly not sure he will ever get sober, the few times I've talked to him lately he has said he doesn't want to stop, its his way of life and he doesn't want to change 0_0<br /><br />I guess in the grand scheme of things I'm glad now that my kids don't know him, they'll never know the pain that comes with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1150281513445964347.post-79171786454491226442012-04-03T09:36:17.807-04:002012-04-03T09:36:17.807-04:00mama P: Are you in NKY?
