How were you raised?

My sister and i were raised by moderate/semi conservative mom and dad. Both from central Texas, Dad went to UT and got hired by Boeing in the 60's, mom stayed home tillwe were in junior high. Went to Church every sunday, and easter and Christmas eve for 18 yrs. We drove to Texas for vacations a number of times, a few in the 68 A108, till 73 when we bought a 73 Winnebago, Dodge chassis with a 360.

Parents have always been MoPar drivers, strange cause my one grandfather was a Buick guy,i was too young really to know about my other grandpa, he was a WW1 vet and was 89 when i was 7 or 8.

I dont think my dad has ever done anything wrong in his life. I hear the stories "i have never had a ticket" and believe it. As a matter of fact. I have never seen my dad sick, fart, throw up, or even swear.

Parents were conservative with money, we always had what we needed, but they never really flaunted it. My dad was a Special Projects Engineer and i heard a conversation one day that he got shorted 2 hrs on a check, and that added up to $10,000. But even to this day, i think my parents have the only house on the block without cable.

We always took some kind of vacation, but he never took sick time. Back around 95 Boeing let you accumulate sick time, since my dad never took it, the day after he retired he went in and bought a new Chrysler LXi, for cash.

My dad is the one that taught me how to work on cars, and to put his tools back in the right place, and how to do a job so you wouldnt have to do it over.

Good parents, yay
