Craig, I went back and read your post and could not agree more. The youth of today expect everything handed to them on a silver platter. The entitlement attitude is rampant among the population but, you know what, We did it to ourselves. We all wanted more and better for our children just as our parents did for us. This came from the depths of the depression when nobody had work, money or things. We carried it too far and now we have to pay the price. You will always appreciate what you EARN more than what is given to you.

As for paying your dues, we all have to do that. Every time you ask a question you pay some dues by accepting the answer. Some dues are cheap but some are expensive and the answer may not sound like what you want to hear or offend you. That doesn't make the answer wrong, just you. I was always told "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". I grew up poor and stupid and had to pay some pretty big dues but I survived and now the path is easier. Don't let paying dues scare or pi$$ you off, we all have to pay them

Remember, nobody here owes you anything and the answers can get a little gruff, especially in the middle of winter.
