I had to look that up

I'll see your $7 as we don't even own a toaster, we use the grill on the oven

BTW we don't even have a microwave oven or an ice maker and only have one 32" TV

When I was a kid we were so poor we'd get up 5 hrs before we went to bed just so we could work a few extra hours at 1pence/hr. We couldn't even afford to live in a shoe so our family of ten made do with living in a large matchbox

Ahh kids of today don't know how good they have it

He earned some of his ASEs going to Millstream Career center for half days in high school free of charge (this saved him about $7000 at UNOH).

$7 k for ASE certs?? That right there is what is wrong with the country. I bought the study guides, studied for 2 weeks, and got them all for about $50.00. Actually, I take that back, I think I had to pay around $300 to take the tests.
