Sorry hon', I was not answering YOU specifically, but the thread in
general when it went ethnic. ;-)
Did not mean to attack anyone, just the general attitude.
I live in South Texas, just a couple of hours away from Mexico. There
is a house just 3 doors down from me that is over 60 years old, has no
central air or heat, has a collapsing roof and I'm told by someone
that has been IN the house that the floor is collapsing too. The
living conditions are less than ideal
It is lived in by a family of 10 mexicans, including young children.
The older adults all have rotting teeth... It is cheap rent. I wish I
could help them... :-(
