My Mum rolled my socks over my pants and then I put my buckle up goloshers on, my wife on the other hand grew up in the Fairmount Projects Waterbury,Ct walked to school back 4 lunch & then home at the end of the day ( I've driven the route 4.7 miles)
if you know the area all hills My wife had no supervision no winter clothes cardboard bottom shoes socks for gloves if she could she could get them there 5 girls in the family and get this Her Father would tell them he wished he had BOYS , He found a family in the projects with 5 boys the Lamottas and gave them a ride to school
and bought them nice presents .
But the winter time was the worst for her the rest of her sisters
and the girls became very independent and this has made my WIFE a very strong and careing person.
this is not BS I'm so happy to that She came into my life 30 plus years ago

My grandson (2nd grade student) loves wearing the Sorel winter boots so much. His teacher sent a note home asking my daughter to please pack some sneakers for him to change into. He doesn't want to unless they have gym class. The teacher says he's disturbing all the other classrooms because you can hear him walking from the other end of the school.

Some men have quickly forgotten that if not for the sacrifice a woman made (specifically their mother) that they would not even be walking on this Earth. I have absolutely no respect for them.

So instead of having the parents of children who wait for the bus adjust their schedules so they can keep their kids warm, let's %$%$%$%$ up everyone's schedules. %$%$%$%$ing Cranston School System is really pissing me off. Had to go into work late yesterday because of that huge snowstorm we got overnight and the fact that they cancelled school for Thursday at 5pm on %$%$%$%$ING Wednesday, now I see that school is cancelled for tomorrow. Well now it's bring the kids to work day tomorrow. This state doesn't know it's a$$ from it's elbow.
