I had a lot of clients who remembered the depression years and shared their stories. It was sad back then - and it's sad now that we heading down the same road again. I'm afraid most Americans have no idea what lies ahead and are far from prepared. Not that they haven't been warned, but that they still don't believe it can get that bad. I pray it won't but I don't have my head in the sand. <br />'love & hugs from afar'Cher' Shotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946818491901881410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-74155244618858517202011-04-07T09:21:46.357-04:002011-04-07T09:21:46.357-04:00I lost what I was saying so will keep this short. ...I lost what I was saying so will keep this short. I do remember parts of th depression and by the time I was old enough The first thing comes to mind is it was so hot. Our wells would go dry and we would have to wait for them to fill again. Their was always water in the stock tank because we needed the animals to stay as healthy as could be on a limited amount of feed, my brothers could come up with. Dad said Roosevelt was the best President we ever had. Our house was as shabby as the ones in the picture. It was the only house I knew until I was about 12. We always has food even if it was bread and gravy and often it was, and eggs cause we had chickens. I swore I would never eat another egg or bread aND GRAVY AFTER THINGS GOT BETTER AND OF COURSE i EAT EGGS. No bread and gravy though.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-939011551345069762011-04-07T01:06:07.175-04:002011-04-07T01:06:07.175-04:00Hi Jack and Sherry.

I just wish they would figure out a way to be reasonable with the cuts and work well together to accomplish the work that needs to be done. I think not knowing if it is going to be shut down or not can have a lot of people on edge and that is not good with everything else going on in the world these days.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-14191628114668720692011-04-06T13:10:28.599-04:002011-04-06T13:10:28.599-04:00My parents grew up in the great depression and the...My parents grew up in the great depression and they learned some valuable lessons from it. I always heard the tales of cardboard inside the shoes cause the soles wore out and having one dress for Sunday and another for everyday. Most of us wouldn't know how to live like that. There are lots of cuts to the budget here in our State. Folks are complaining big time and after all is said and done it will be still a lot better than when it was during the depression. I wonder if folks really know just how much they have.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
