@LegalAmerican It's kind of a universal rule of every Forum I've been on: If one makes a claim, it's the responsibility of that person to back it up. I usually don't do it unless I have the link already open in another tab. It's a practice I sometimes honor in the breach.
I've gotten burned too often.
CL,,thank you. I post on two other sites. The first site, I ALWAYS backed up my posts with LINKS, Video's. The LEFT on there called it spam.
Then others got tired of me ALWAYS BACKING up my statements. So, on that other site, I stopped doing that.
Here, they want it again! . Most of my back up, is on my desktop computer. I am on a lap top. Then people say, nasty things because I can't see well now, and moved into new home. Everything is a mess. I can only do, so much. I have run out of space. My shelving units were taken apart. Can't find shelves! lol It will take some time. Life happens, while I try to unpack it all, put together, etc.
So, the computer is not set up. I do understand what you are saying. My point was just about grandfather being immigrant, with not having much, then look at Grandson. Billionaire and president! I got annoyed at the DETAIL.
I am an immigrant to USA. My parents had two suit cases, in debt 600 to our sponsors, and us two little kids as a liability . My parents worked hard. All kind of dirty jobs. Mom worked in a diaper co. washing dirty diapers! Can you imagine ? I remember the ammonia, burning my eyes, when I went to pick up mom. We walked everywhere.
All kind of story's, about our survival, not speaking the language. So, after a while of being frugal, saving, they bought a car for cash. Then bought a home. Took in a border. Mom, bought shoes at Kreskes for 2 dollars, and blouses for 88 cents. We kids did not get toys. One new pair of shoes, one other, for daily wear. Clothes bought at second hand stores. You get the picture.
Then mom and dad, built another home. They were able to visit Europe every 3 years. Mom got her mink coat.
New car's. We did most of the work ourselves on the house. I melted lead, for plumbing, at age 11. (I know about lead) Then I put on tiles on bathroom wall, age 11, where I used a heated knife to cut the tile to fit and roc lath on walls for plaster. My brother, put in hard wood floors at age 14 and other roofing needed. I tarred the basement, and me and grandma, dragged those gray blocks from road to house, so they lay those. I know in America, some parents don't want their kids , age 11, using a knife!
So, bottom line? Then American born people,,(the spenders) said,,
OH, YOU ARE SO LUCKY!
