[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 1831297, member: 8373"] My grandparents also went through the DP. My pawpaw was born in 1906, lived till he was 91. He was hit with a mortar on the first day of the battle of the bulge. Lived the remainder of his life with Malaria, shrapnel in his neck and leg. He worked as a bread delivery guy in the 20s and 30s. Made $5 a week. My MawMaw was 7 years younger than him. She used to tell me how she would take the kids downtown to the store, then come home and eat bologna sandwiches everyday. I alked her how they managed to live on $5 a week. She said, we just did, we didn't have a choice. She was the toughest woman I have ever met. Lived for a week with a severe herniated intestine that the doc said most people are in the hospital screaming in pain and die after 2 days. She damn near pulled out of it, living in the hospital for a week and half. Our parents (or grandparents) generation was FAR tougher than the ones that came after. I am a child of the 70s, I can't say much other than I know that my grandparents went through more crap than I have. That said, I see a time when we all will face similar peril when the house of cards finally collapses. It's coming soon. [/QUOTE]
