How were you raised?

Born and raised in northeast PA, was a rebel at an early age and got my *** whopped for it quite often..was harrassed by nuns in Catholic school for being left handed, bullied by most of the kids cause I was a fat kid that would cry if you kicked me in the nuts,was asked (putting it mildly) to leave the Catholic school in the 6th grade, finally had enough of being bullied and struck back and hurt the kid who was picking on me one day and then got caught selling cigarettes and homework..finished off in public school. My father used to take me on electrical jobs as a go-for from the time I was 8. Learned alot about electrical to the point it is now part of what I do for a living. Taught to hunt, fish and work on cars by my uncle Harry. Built a bunch of fast cars and drove em like I stole them...I've often said if my kids drove like I did I would take their cars away. Joined the Air Force in 75 and stayed in until 80, got married and divorced during that time. Opened a record store in California in 81 with my new girlfriend and ran it til 83 when CD's came out and I was sitting on $140,000 in vinyl records that nobody wanted anymore so I sold it and moved back to PA. Managed a chain of furniture and appliance rental stores for 12 years until I was downsized in 95...took my 401K money, sold my Harley, paid the government for allowing me to use my money, and opened a sign shop which I've been running since.
