When compared to other areas I guess I do live in a kinda crappy area, but Im never in "FEAR" for my safety or "FEAR" for the safety of my family, heres a quote from my last post,"Do I worry about my family 24-7? your damn right I do! and it would be the same no matter where I lived!" See? I WORRY, fear has nothing to do with it, if I was afraid I wouldnt be here taking care of mine Id be in some high end area paying high end prices just for the illusion of "all being well" Im one of a few people that know that BS is everywhere and Im as prepared as I can be to deal with it should it come, thats all, I love my family and would gladly give up my life for them, does this mean that I live in fear, no, just means I love them is all and remember you shouldnt just assume that someone needs improvment on their life just because they live in what some consider a "bad area" I never said I was poor, or sad, or misrable, Im none of that, finacially Im doing well, Im very happy to be in my situation, and Im no where near misrable! My neighborhood is an "up and coming" area so Im just sticking it out when things get better Ill STILL be in MY neighborhood Thanks for the concern though
