OMG!!!

Quote-"The first, last, and only time I went to Ron's parents house I thought I'd die. We're talking I thought I'd walked onto a gangster movie set or something!"-that's so funny!!!

I've lived in some pretty bad areas as an adult, as a kid I lived in a semi-well-to-do-(we thought)-area. We were what I like to call, UPPER-POOR-LOL!!!

I remember ducking bullets at night when dd was 3 yrs old. I remember trying to take her trick-or-treating and there was a shoot-out and I had to throw dd into the bushes. Can you guess I'll never move back there? And this was a $600 apartment building-LOL!

I still have family and friends there. I email one friend daily and write the other. My mother jokes that she couldn't live no where else because she likes not knowing if she's going to get rob at the bus stop, she likes worrying that she's stepping into gang territory, she likes watching her back-(she's so funny!!!).

Detroit is definately a scary place! I don't miss it at all, but I miss my family!
