If ya find it, set it for 1975 for me. I got a score to settle.
:-)

Should I ask what happened then? Perhaps not.

yeah.. no. It wouldn't mean anything to anyone but me even if I told
the story.

I would have hid the money I earned better and said "No" more often to
my family even if it had meant that they'd have to have bread for
dinner instead of the meals that I slaved to cook. Maybe someone
would have realized something was very wrong in the house and helped.
I was just a kid.

Yeah, I know how that works. I got a Summer job when I was 15 and waiting
for exam results but I don't think I saw a penny of what I earned. Times
were hard though. We had the gas and / or electricity cut off quite a few
times when I was a kid. Both my parents had fairly serious illnesses at
various times and logged quite a bit of hospital time. With that history
and the economic climate at the time jobs weren't alweays easy to come by.

Thereya go. Wasn't that less pleasant than you thought it would be?

Sorry about that but I wasn't the *very* nosey one. ;-)

It was for me.

For better or worse our history is what helps to make us what we are, right?
Nothing to be ashamed of.
