We initially weren't very welcome there as the people who rented the house before us were 4 single GIs that liked to party, but that's another story. One of the strangest things to me was when I would go to the local grocery and pick up some food. People would follow me around wanting to see what Americans ate. I ate what they ate since I was low rank and pretty poor. I did have a party and invited all the neighbors and cooked burgers and dogs and corn on the cob. They had never had corn before since it's something to feed the animals. They fell in love with Southern Comfort and coke and they just wouldn't believe that I didn't have a horse, live on a ranch in America and didn't carry a six gun at home. Granted this was a few years back but the whole idea of what America is came from the shows they watched on TV.<br />CliffCliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13252741238180706080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-7273818731841414872010-02-17T13:22:37.890-08:002010-02-17T13:22:37.890-08:00When the .gov lets me have some of my money back h...When the .gov lets me have some of my money back here in a couple days, I'm going on a major food run.

LMAO!!!! <br /><br /> So sad, but so true. Tell me how in modern America, there are families that only have 2 days of food in their cupboards? I grew up at poverty level, but we always had full cabinets, so don't play the poverty card with me. (Of course, my mom was/is a miracle worker and should be considered for sainthood.) I can understand running out of milk and eggs, but how can you not have basic stuff in your larder like flour, rice, beans, pasta, soups, canned veggies?<br /><br />Regarding the English, they're a whole 'nother people, even if we do speak the same language. My impression has always been that the English see Americans as wild, unruly, uncivilized children, and prepping is just another means of rebeling against authority. They may be right. Of course I think that whole American Revolution thing is still a bit of a thorn in their sides. They don't care for rebellion one bit LOL.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662745930080756613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-78828544227514692162010-02-17T05:45:54.443-08:002010-02-17T05:45:54.443-08:00Just a little commentary from my part of Georgia (...Just a little commentary from my part of Georgia (the state, not the country).
