Walt still uses that! The rest of us don't, but it's all he will use.

I don't miss being picked on and being called nerd.

I don't miss being on the free lunch program.

I don't miss "Knight Rider", or the stupid talking car.
Hey! I loved that show!! Whatchooo talkin' 'bout?

I don't miss not knowing what kind of meat we were eating from day to day (my dad was a hunter, and we were poor, so we ate alot of unusual protein. One winter they got a real deal on horse, so we ate horse all winter. Didn't even know it until we ran out and Mom finally spilled the beans!)

I don't miss having to can fruits and vegetables in the hot kitchen without air conditioning most of the summer. Washing jars - ewww. I hated that job!

I don't miss mucking out the cow stalls or the pigpens either. That was definately not another favorite job.

I don't miss the smell of Mom rendering out the lard. P.U.! But I do miss the lard!

I don't miss being grounded from going to church and youth group activities.

I don't miss our bedroom being freezing cold in the winter (no heat ducts upstairs) and sweltering hot in the summer (no air conditioning)
