I grew up in so cal, but the Spanish dictators are the sm

Have you gone to the MTDaily website? On the homepage, they have a link to loads and loads of samples of all kinds of operations and procedures, or you could go to MTDesk, samples there also that you can print out. I also think there may be samples at MTBot.com, but sure, though, many links there...hopes this helps, good luck, you'll learn fast!
I am 30, grew up watching Peter Jennings.
 This was really sad for ME because I have seen him on the TV since I can remember watching TV. The time I remember him the most of course is 9/11. He was there nonstop. I will never forget.
Um, what? I grew up very poor and made it through college and now
I am working FT and so is DH.
If I grew up into an adult blaming the govt for my poor mistakes and irresponsibility (bringing children into the world when you can't even take care of yourself) then that would not be a good thing.
It is NOT the govts fault that people are poor or that they can't feed their kids. Give me a break.
In fact, I am living proof, and so are millions of other people, that no matter where you grew up in life or where you've been, if you are determined to make it, then you will. Just ask Judge Mathis.
Quit blaming others for your life situation. Start taking control and action and responsibility!
yep, she grew up poor... born 1935, so I'm sure sm
the economy wasn't exactly booming then, and they were certainly poor. My dad born in 1923, and HE would wash old bread wrappers to use as lunch bags, and then wash em again and use them till they fell apart. Why buy plastic bags when they come free on the bread?
I grew up in FL, and my black teachers used a lot of these phrases...sm
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet because every northerner I know has asked me about this..."I'm fixin'to" as in, "Get your shoes on, we're fixin' to go to church." 2 of my 5 elementary teachers were black, and they both used this phrase all the time, so it was perfectly normal to us. Those teachers weren't any less educated, they were just native southerners raised in segregated communities. My hometown was still segregated well into the '80s.
It's funny, half the phrases people are naming on here I wouldn't have thought were southern-specific, they're that common to me.
distant trains for me, grew up with 'em. NM

A lot of people who grew up without privilege ended up skanks too
Money or lack of money has nothing to do with it. It's whether the person has any value system, lines they will not cross, and standards set for themselves regardless of financial status.
My respect for Busy grew by leaps and bounds TY! nm

Made in Japan is what we grew up seeing. Look where Japan is now
Car manufacturing and textiles are gone. Bush just signed another trade agreement with central america (CAFTA or maybe it is central america or LAFTA hahaha. More jobs out the window. You think these poverty stricken people are going to be buying cars from us? The only thing they will be doing is sending their kids here for their college education.
Cry patriotism. Rome fell when they ran out of raw materials (steel, timber) and their nation was filled with immigrants brought in for cheap labor who reproduced then at astounding rates, becoming the majority, only to be so unpatriotic they could not create an adequate army or an infrastructure as they were not deep patriots with a deep undying love for their land and constitution.
Rome stood for several thousand years and fell in less then 400 years.
In the end, corruption prevailed at the highest levels.
History will repeat itself. Not in our time but in your grandchildren's future, the situation will be irreversible. There simply has to be a middle class and the middle class need middle class jobs.
