WOW you had a cardboard box !!!! some people have all the luck i was suck with just one news paper to cover up with ..one page at that

we couldnt afford to waste newspapers as shelter, we had to boil them up for food
I still remember the Sunday comics roast... and eating leftovers for the rest of the week..

Well... when i called it a roast.. we actually all just sat around the paper and called it the filthiest names we could come up with, and as for boiling the other pages (if we were lucky), it was more like prolonged soaking in tepid water - you really dont want the details..

it really sucked for me after the storm hit us ..i lost my home(the newspaper) and had to just sleep in the middle of the snowy field ...all i had to eat was snow and bark off the trees nearby...unfortunetly there was only 2 trees so we had to eat them slow so they wouldnt run out.

I suppose we were pretty well off, in our industrial toxic waste dump.. any bird or animal sick or desperate enough to try eating the things that looked like plants (while they werent moving about), promptly fell over dead, and if Gramps and the aunts and uncles and cousins and nephews and in-laws were quick enough, we might have a pigeon to share... I got a feather once

oh it gets worse after the last tree went down we lived off dirt ...and then the drout hit and there was no water ..so we were forced to move around and look for water ..the only water we found was a small pond full of aligators and snakes ...5 of the 15 of us died that week to snake and aligator attacks ....

We always had our puddle, summer or winter, it never dried up or froze over - although it did smell funny sometimes ( Aunty Grinkle said that was because my nose was working ) and it was all pretty colors... and best of all, it glowed at night The little flames flickering on the surface cost us a cardboard box or three, and the odd cousin or two - but they were all odd when you think about it so I guess that didnt make any real difference.
But alligators.. oooh.. we used to dream about alligators.. ( I take my medication now, so I dont dream about them as much )

I couldnt get any meds...later after we lost 4 more and we only had 6 left ..the water dried up ..we had to move again ...right thru a desert by the time we got to somemore water there was only 2 of us left we lived by the strange dark greenish brown water for awhile but had to fight off constant swarms of killer bees and bears ..and a few mountain lions too ....

Yes, its nice to reminisce about the good old days, when things were easy and we didnt have a care in the world.. not like now :'(

But I am feeling a little guilty about derailing this thread ( de-railing, that brings back memories too ahh the things we did to amuse ourselves )
