As part of my dissertation on the messageboard, I'm wondering what kind of Financial Backgrounds you all come from? A well-off family perhaps, or a destitute family of circus freaks? I'll start---My mum became a single mum when I was 4, after my Junkie Alcoholic Brickie dad was kicked out--we lived in a small council flat in London--then she married my step-dad, who had two degrees (in Maths and Physics), and who worked for Shell UK--now, they are well-off--So, I've experienced two sides of that upbringing. How about your upbringing-- |

upper-middle class, white suburban house. Grew up in one of the richest counties in the nation, mostly public school some private. Drove BMW, shit like that, still am pretty much that way, though I hardly consider myself elitist or in any way stuck up, I mean that. |

My mom and dad were very careless and had me at 17, and he left a couple years later... she went to college and I basically was raised by my grandparents... but I have a big, very closeknit family so it wasn't really a totally lonely only child upbringing, I thought my aunts were sisters for a few years when I was reeaaally young! I'm a spoiled brat. |

All across the Arctic fables describe marriages between humans and whales. In a Yakut version, the baby whale is affectionately adopted by the tribe and kept in a special bucket by the side of his mother’s tent until he outgrows it, at which point he is freed into the sea. When foreign whalers arrive, they kill the adopted whale. The tribe responds to this violence by attacking the strangers. The Yakuts tell this story to explain how warfare first came to the human beings. |

My mom talks to him on the phone sometimes, and he wanted to talk to me once... I declined. She says he was too young and not ready, blah blah blah, all that stuff, and I guess that's true. Says he still loves me and all that, but the feeling isn't mutual, I want nothing to do with him. Maybe if I have some little Ophecks' I'll rub it in his face that I wouldn't do that. |

Yeah me too. Speaking of, didn't you promise me a picture of your mom a few weeks back? |

I'm in two minds about meeting my father--my mum's friend in London knows where he lives and stuff, and apparently he's doing OK now--I have no ill-will towards him--I don't blame him for how he was--he was a drunk drug addict, I'm not going to judge him--I think I might freak out if I met him tho--It's a tricky one, since I'm going to be emigrating shortly. |

we were kinda like the poverty stricken nobility...that you read so much about in the Brit Isles....my family is a family of Tribal leaders/elders..but thanks to the Wars etc..it has been mostly merely in the name..we have lands but the incomings are a lot tighter than out goings...we basically lived upper middle class lifestyles (all show mind you) on lower middle class budget..if that makes any sense what so ever.. |

I was literally born in a ditch. i had worne no clothes for 11 years...and when i saw them i was like holy kizzow! then another naked friend of mine told me about ... Lottery. i didn't know what this was! it was crazy i tell you. so my naked friend found some clothes and put them on and we went to this store that had a sign on it called LOTTO (I couldn't read at the time but he could you see). we bought one ticket and we frickin' won!!! he told me 'I OWNZ TH1Z PL4CE NO\/\/" then he told me how much we had and i litterally flipped in the air! pff...now i have it all brothers and sisters. i live in 2 mansions put together...have 169 girlfriends and drive any car i want! PFF.... oh yeah...that wasn't true. |

No hurry to meet him... someday I might... you're a young stud, you've got time to think about it. I'd freak out, too... I could actually see myself meeting him, but not anytime soon. Just give it time, I guess, that's what I'm doing. |

my parents were poor through childhood, and paid there own way through college. when they were firsy married, they basically had no money, but my dad kept getting raises, cause hes a hard worker, so now we are uppermiddle class id say. i have a very close family. |
||||||||

Yeah--that sounds like modern life in the UK--everyone maxxing out their Credit Cards to live lifestyles advertised on Tv--then ending up only ever paying off the Interest on their cards--damn shame, and morally bankrupt. Luckily, they'd never give me a credit card--a book is a luxury for me. |

You're not old until you're 35! |

That's the thing, Ophecks--I don't have that much time to decide any more--I'm probably leaving shortly after Christmas--and I'll be going to London (where he lives) to get my visa and fly off--so it would be then or (probably) never. : / my mum sometimes says I remind her of him...(before he was a junkie mind)...it's so hard :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never say never, it's a small world. Unless he's got some terminal illness or something, I doubt this will be your last chance. If you decide to bite the bullet and meet him, let me know how it goes. Imagine how good it would be if it went well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But alas it's not Credit Cards over there..it's the money lending system..you put bits of land in hock whenever there is a family upheavel progression etc..Kid needs to go to college needs a car etc..it hardly ever gets paid back so the land gets erroded and bitten off bit by bit by the banks..money lenders etc..leaving the family lords of ever diminishing domains.. |
