I feel very much the way you describe,, I was on my own paying for a place to live and the cost to live at 15 years old,, I did finish 10th grade,, the "jocks" made me despise most all sports at a early age, I was running equipment at 6 years old by myself, I worked at our families CASE dealership from the time I could pickup a wrench, between that and the custom farming we did I had no time for sports anyway,, three I did enjoy was soccer, hockey and volleyball I was the best player around in those three,, but here at that time there was no money for them to be a "real sport" so other than in PE I was not allowed to play them. here like many places if you did not like football you were a outcast,, lets just say I will not even allow it on my TV still,, not that it is that bad a game,, hey if you like it more power to you, it was from the real jerks who thought I was nothing as I did not know how to play it and ridiculed me to the point I still greatly despise it today,, funny to me was going to my 20th class reunion, I look at least 10 years younger than all of those so important jocks, and am still in far better shape than they are in body,, ones who girls called "gods" are nothing more than round fat blobs, or just plain old bald men today,,, I am nothing special but as another stated in the comments, growing up the way I did also made me what I am today,, those privileged ones that grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths have no clue what its like to go a week with eating a few crackers at best, what it was like for many years to work seven days a week work three jobs, 6 of those days getting 1-3 hrs sleep at most and still smile everyday and be thankful I had what I did,, money still means little to me other than it sure is needed to make your world keep turning,, I really do not think I would change one thing if I could go back as far as that time,, and I feel many others would "grow" if they went through some of it as well,,,

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
