This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

Or you grew up in a poor area. i remember when my dad started making 2500 a month (pre tax income)
we were living high on the hog we actually got to take a family vacation after 2 years at that income level.

I was a trust fund baby and I deserved every penny of it because of my aristocrat blood. They say hard work gets you places, but as a product of generations of fine human breeding I say the work is only hard if you aren't smart enough to do it efficiently and on the backs of others.

Yes. And that's all I'm going to say.



Don't want the competition from poor people using your story as an inspiration or what?

Yes, until I was 9 years old, my two older brothers and two older sisters and my parents lived in a tar paper shack that had newspaper for insulation and a leaky roof. We didn't have hot water and the cold water was a pump in the sink or a pump out front of the house. We had to heat water on the stove for baths. I slept with my two older sisters in the same bed. We also had an outhouse.

My father went out to construction sites on his lunch hour to learn how to build stuff and then the whole family got together and built a small brick home in front of the shack on the same property. It had 4 bedrooms so I still did share a bedroom with one of my older sisters until she moved out but it had two bathrooms with flush toilets and we finally got hot and cold running water. My mom never got a dishwasher or microwave until I left home. I was the youngest of 5 children.
