Not directed at anyone in particular

but after reading the thread below by the obviously young editor asking for help, a thought just occurred to me:  MAYBE the original poster in this thread was one of those young mother's working with kids at home and MAYBE her editor was working at home with her kids.  MAYBE both were having a particularly bad day.  MAYBE they lashed out at each other.

Still better than resorting to child abuse.  Just another argument for not trying to be all things to all people all at the same time.

You are a "mobile home dweller", not "trailer trash" or a skank.  There's a big difference, one you can tell by looking at the home and the person.  We have some very nice mobile homes on our block nestled amongst the stickbuilt houses.  There used to be four "trailer trash" houses.  One of them remodeled and it looks quite nice.  Another one moved out, someone bought the lot, sold the trailer, tore up the old foundation, and now they have a really nice big yard.  We're still trying to get rid of the other two.  If they'd only clean up the junk littering their yards, mow and water once a week, and paint the exteriors, they'd have nice properties.  I don't understand why able-bodied people would not maintain their properties to keep or increase the value.  Instead, their dumps make the entire neighborhood look trashy.  Ironically, there are city laws here that they must mow and they must clean up their junk and abandoned cars.  These are the people screaming drunk in the streets at 2:00 a.m.  Other people have turned them in to the police repeatedly.   Thus, true trailer trash.  If I had only known 10 years ago what I know now, we never would have bought this place.

I can somewhat relate to your taking offense.  It's the same thing with the dumb blonde jokes.  However, I just tell myself that I'm not dumb or dyed, so the remark isn't directed at me.  You aren't a trailer trash skank, so the remarks weren't directed at you.  You are a very nice, intelligent mobile home dweller.

to you or in reference to your posts????  Sorry, but the world and this board don't revolve around you.  Get real.
