I have never in my life heard such insane and rude comments in my life. The "quality of people drawn to trailers?" Get real. I bet you buy all brand name clothes, foods and everything else, too, because it means you're a better "quality" of person.

So you live in Snobville, too.
Did it ever occur to you that one day you might be low income, too. I don't think many people choose to be low income, but so what if they are. They doesn't make them any worse than someone with a huge income. I live in a rented house and pay $160.00 a month rent, which, by the way, is a lot less than most people make for a trailer payment. So, does that make me low income because I choose to live in an older house that costs less? No, it does not. It means that I have better things to spend my hard-earned income on than keeping up with the Joneses and their neighbors who live in Snobville. The low-income house I live in is a very nice neighborhood and I have wonderful, educated neighbors.

Yup, just breathe...................... nm

let it go, doll....BREATHE... walk away, it's over. NM

We eat, breathe and live transcription. Why can't there be something else to break monotony?

I woke up to -18 degrees this morning - it hurt to breathe outside! nm
