    In Canada, and in the U.K. they sell by donation poppy pins for Remembrance Day. Here the official distributor of the pins is the Royal Canadian Legion and when I was a teenager you had to be former military or RCMP to be a member. Therefore most of the volunteers selling and making the pins where WWII veterans. Us teens actually bought the pins and proudly wore them. I still do as an adult, even though to increase membership the legion now lets anyone join and most of the WWII vets are gone. The poppy pins once made by disabled veterans are now made in China. But I still buy and wear one because I remember the old days when it was a WWII vet involved. I'm still surprised they don't have poppy pins in the states. info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_poppy#Canada

    Not that we were hurting, and we never missed a meal. But my folks worked hard to provide for my sister and I.
    I have all the respect that they pulled it off, and I never went wanting.

    I didn't realize my parents had money until in about grade 7 a friend came shopping and made a comment after seeing how much my Mom just spent.

    I knew you were poor when I found out you lived on my street.

    I have a red dog and a black dog.
    Far from racist

    Actually, I don't care about anyone's race. Beaners, Canucks, anyone, I don't care.

    I'm an equal opportunity racist, hate them all equally including my own.

    As a general rule, I just hate people.
    I'm perfectly comfortable living up here on the mountain with my wife and my dogs.
    The cat is still questionable.

    I prefer to not leave the house.
