710584 2008-10-10 02:18:00 I'm 18, and apart from having a kid, that was exactly the same 13 years ago when I started school.

710585 2008-10-10 02:23:00 Hell no!

Metla's post applied to me perfectly, apart from the fact I don't have a kid.

I meant school was the same for me 10 years ago as it was for Metla 25 years ago, just I don't have a kid like he does. :o

I definitely could have said that better. /slap

710588 2008-10-10 18:03:00 You were lucky. We lived in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to get up at six, clean the newspaper, eat a crust of stale bread, work fourteen hours at the mill, day in, day out, for sixpence a week, come home, and dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.
You try to tell that to the young people of today, and they won't believe you.
