Stupidly I didn't realize that didn't have to mean putting up with a violent streak or mentality as well. <BR/><BR/>I did however marry someone who had the happy upbringing and well we're divorced. In the end I think it helps tremendously when the other person gets where your coming from, either they've lived it, or had some experience with it at some point.<BR/><BR/>Case in point Paul had a hard childhood, numerous addictions. Won't say anymore about that (it's his story not mine). He overcame them to be a pretty great guy. Today he works with troubled kids. The thing is he's been there and gets it when I wake up with the sweats and that look of fear on my face. He gets it enough to make me comfortable he knows about it.<BR/><BR/>Long story short(yeah this was going somewhere)..the vote would always go with the person who overcame and made a life for themselves. I think the personality and oveall attitude would be far better.

Isn't that kind of offensive to those of us who might be factory workers? I am no longer, I wisely chose to get out before things got bad. But. My home is now paid for, I have a retirement fund that I invested in wisely, and a pension when I am 65. And I'm young enough to start over doing something I enjoy. <BR/><BR/>Just an FYI that not all factory workers have the mentality that you seem to think they do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3771446067618745870.post-20368031964316129442008-10-30T13:17:00.000-04:002008-10-30T13:17:00.000-04:00Mike, next time you paint you need to add a few dr...Mike, next time you paint you need to add a few drops of Lemon Oil to the paint. <BR/><BR/>Problem solved.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
