Ok Russell,
You caught me! Once again I didn't clarify properly and I must make the
correction that I have never asked for public assistance as in welfare,
food stamps, etc.
I would be quite the miracle child if I had managed to grow up and
never had parents to provide for me but alas I am definitely not that
gifted. I was required to do chores on the farm and no, I did not earn
an allowance. I was in 4-H from age 9 and did work outside the farm as
soon as I was old enough(11 or 12) to earn my spending money.
