(and crashing them for racing too) But my family was always on the lower middle class side. My dad worked 2 full time jobs, and my mom worked full time as well. My grandparents worked until in their 70s (even though they were highly respected upper class citizens in their home country) as waiter and seamstress.

I don't like saying what high school or college I went to. Maybe it was just my year? I don't know, but most my friends feel the same way. Around here it seems you just say that city and people think "brat". i don't really like that.

Hey Capt Noonie, does the OC city have the initials NB? I'm from HB, well, that's what I tell everyone! I was born in Los Angeles, but thank God my parents moved us to Huntington Beach in the early 60's, when I was 4 yrs old. Before the Watts & South Central riots!! Now, I live near in a small area near Oakland, you know where a child raping monster killed 4 sheriff deputies recently? But, you do have to look for the good where ever you are. Donna
