Kimsuetoo | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 09:40 am     I am white trash for sure. I was raised on beans and cornbread. Collard greens were added on a good day and sweet tea was the main beverage of choice in our house. At one time we had 7 cars at our house (but all of them ran) and only three drivers in the family. I was raised in Spokane WA (Hi Kearie) and now live in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. I married a "Biker" (dreamy sigh)who works for the sewer department. We do not live in a trailer but have a nice home and two younguns'. When we were young our selves my hubby actually said "we are not getting a trailer. I don't want to go to work and be trailer trash". So we lived in a government subsidised houseing project instead. I still make beans and cornbread like my mama and tea is served regularly (not so sweet anymore) |

They used to pass more quickly, now they just kinda hang on in there. How many more hours till Thur? Geez can't believe I might be bummed if Roddy goes who woulda thunk it LOL. |

Guiltyviewer | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:49 am     Why thanks Biloxi! You may be white trash honey but you're FIRST CLASS white trash!! |
2eyesopen | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:54 am     I was born and raised on the west coast(Wa. & Ca.) and married a man from Georgia(who lived in a single wide,when we were dating). If I'm not white trash I'm at least related by marriage. |
Chancesdesign | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 10:57 am     Hi, me name's Chance and I be white trash. I been in 'covery for 'bout a week now. (E'er since KiKi kindly 'formed me of the fact.) I's 'shamed to admit I was born and raised in Coloradie. That's 'bout as far from the coasts as ye can git. My 'covery aids 'clude sleepin' with every man I kin (while lyin' to them that they are the only one), usin' drugs, and tellin' everyone that will listen about both. |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:09 am     This is the funniest thread!! When I moved to Western PA, one of my friends in Iowa was delighted because she didn't know anyone who lived on the East Coast.. HAHAHA!!! RURAL, hilly, full of coal mines and down home boys...this ain't the east coast! I DID live in a mobile home the first time I was in grad school. Owned it, even! Saved a ton of money on the high rents in a university town and was able to buy a nice house in the suburbs. Raised in a small town in Illinois where "the smaller the tawwn is the furtheah soouuuth they think they's from". Now I'm back in a small town, and on my first night back from my road trip travels I AGAIN smelled that skunk on my porch. What kind of town has roving skunks??? Even though I stayed in the trailer for a night at ResortGirls, I don't think I qualify for white trash...my passport is well used! |
Jadarville | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:10 am     I live on the east coast but I work at Wal-Mart so I Must be white trash. Biloxi I'm gonna look into that there lazy susan problem for ya :> |
Seamonkey | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:15 am     Hmm.. I guess I was probably born White Trash.. near the White House.. born in DC but lived in MD and VA for the first 4 years. So maybe that is ok since it is east coast, but probably too southern for Chiara's taste. Then I spent 9 years in Detroit. definitely middle america, tho we did have those lakes around there somewhere. And since then.. West Coast all the way, baby!! Mostly So Cal with time in Berkeley. But if Chiara is "class", I wanna be trash. oh yeah. |
Niceguy | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:16 am     I'd like to tell y'all about a time a few years back when I was visiting Manhattan. I knew that the Richard Bey Show was shot on the east coast but I didn't know exactly where. I wanted to watch a live taping. So I call the station, W O R-TV and reserve a seat for the taping. Its in Secaucus, NJ. Long story short I'm standing in the stations parking lot waiting to get in and some fool drives around with a bull horn and yells,"Richard Bey is white trash entertainment, Richard Bey is white trash entertainment!" The irony that this show was so popular and essentially across the river from NYC was not lost on me. Of course some people would say that a true Manhattanite would never sit in a Richard Bey audience but I strongly perceive that as a lie. Chiara is delusional. |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:17 am     Jadar!!! Long time, no see, girlfriend! So you DID get the job at Walmart! Congrats! Hope to see you in chat sometime...don't hold your breath, though. Classes start next week and I'm not ready...ton of meetings this week, and I haven't unpacked from all my trips! AND I have to make a MAJOR revision to my dissertation. It's that "trash" part of me that can't seem to write in a scholarly way! Hoping to get my life back soon! Good to see you again! Marm |
Sia | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:22 am     What a wonderful support-group this has become for fellow white-trash like myself: Me an' mah husbin and kee-yids used-ta be what'choo call "po' white trash," but aftuh mah husbin took a bettuh job we's doin' much bettuh. Heck, ah guess thu fu'st step was him a-gittin' offin his lazy be-hind and just gettin' a year-round job. Cuttin' grass in the summers just weren't 'nuff ta feed the fambly oncet we had a youngun on the way. Po' white trash is what we called ourselfs since we was gettin' help wit' doctuh bills an' such. We got them-there coo-pons, too, ta help us pay fer milk and juice fer the kee-yids till Daddy got him that-there bettuh job. Now we even gots money in thu bank an' none of that-there credut-card debt, so you might could say we's doin' purty good. We even have us a four-wheeluh AND a golf-cart for jauntin' 'bout on thu farm. We kinda like livin' out in the backwatuhs and don't make fun of our citi-fied fambly who come ovuh ta visit now and then. Their kee-yids jus' stand 'round and gawk at thu pond like they never seen eny body of watuh what doesn't have a cee-ment bottom. Guess we's still white trash, though, 'cause we don't make thu kee-yids bring their bikes in thu house overnight and let 'em leave toys scattered in the yard all the time. Sandbox doubles as a litter-box for the outside kitties, and we got more'n one dawg, and they ain't them-thee teeny expensive dawgs, neithuh. All thu cars we got run, though, and ain't none of 'em up on blocks! S'pose we'll have-ta put some fancier sidin' on thu house to move up anothuh notch; that-there asbestos-shingle stuff don't look too high-class. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:28 am     Woooo Hoooooo!!! Well darlins, grew up in the Crescent City, surrounded by old world charm, wrought iron, and history. Didn't grow up in city proper but along the eastern fringes.....my family moved after Hurricane Betsy broke through a levee and flooded our first house. Now I'm living on the western fringes...love being barefoot, shopping at Kmart and watchin BB. Guess that means I'm trash through and through...Oh yeah...gotta work for a living...that clinches it! Hillbilly...pass that plate of fried okra! I've got some red beans and rice and a plate of fried chicken livers I can share! |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:30 am     ...{hillbilly passin the okrie} i's take some's them red beans and rice..but i's pass on the livers... |
Realityaddict | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:34 am     Hello, my name is realityaddict and I am white trash! (according to Chiara, anyway) Does she really think she is scoring points with this kind of talk? |
Wapland | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:34 am     Ain't all us Canadians!?!?!?!?!
...and here is Mr. Mountie looking for more! |
Sisalou | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:35 am     Well, I never thought about it before but I reckon I'm white trash. I had always considered myself oilfield trash. Born and raised in West Texas. Never even saw the ocean until I was 17! Favorite foods: fried okra, watermelon, beans and cornbread, cornbread in sweet milk, blackeyed peas. Also luv my sweet tea. AND, Walmart is one my favorite stores! Does Target count as white trash? I love that store too. |
Schoolmarm | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:37 am     Wappy! Where do the "white trash" Canadians live? Or did y'all send them down south to our neck of the woods? I think that Target is upscale white trash! |
Bunyun | Sunday, August 18, 2002 - 11:44 am     OH Lordie de! I must be "white trash" for sure. Yep. Got to be. I am from that Ore Gone! yep! We still have cowboys and indians running amuck! We live off the land as much as we can. Many Ore Gonnians hunt,and fish! Yep! we kill them thar critters, and eat em! Yum Yum! No room for those high society folks around here! Nope! So yep, I is "white trash" and darn proud of it! Sure am glad I aint like that thar Chia! LOL! Why, by cracky, Momma would surley get out the lye soap and clean my mouth out but good! |
