37. Trailer park
Fri Mar 13, 2026, 05:37 PM

Resident for many years before joining the Navy.
Sorry to break The woke, (with a “W” rules)
Guess you hate the series Trailer Park Boys with Bubbles and the gang. I will burn my CD complete series of the comedy.
Had my laundry stolen from the Park Laundry mat 2 times while there. And 3 meth lab busts in that same Park. Probably not Dems then, but Nixon was in charge so who knows.
When I joined the Service, after needing to get the hell Outta there with no voting rights and a draft number of 324, it was still my only way to move on. The Park built my character and pushed me to make a change. Not all Parks are paradise, not all subdivision are, not all condo’s and not all mountain coves up here are. So I will just shut my pie hole to not offend anyone while relating to my life experiences.
We have 12 Dollar stores in my small county and growing. A that’s the only job opportunity here in Upstate Florida NC, those being the only ones that can afford, and are buying all the mountain tops.
But a dozen gun stores and over 30 churches. Even snake handlers.
Trailer Park Boys was, is funny, not ashamed to laugh at the stories of that life, I lived it. My parents had no basement.
So it gave me opportunity to start an adult life. Very thankful for that.
We have a large trailer community that live right by the river that Helen took out as did other big floods here. And they all built right back. It’s the only property they can afford.
A sad reality. Billionaire playhouses for summer get aways for the rich force them to stay there.
Guess I could make fun of the billionaire MAGA’s that live on Islands or gated communities, or mountain tops, but that will be offensive to the good ones, so, pie hole shut. Gonna work my WOKE regs.
Proud one time Trailer Park Boy with the skills gained. Never leave the Laundry Mat. (Even though those cloths were Dollar Store cloths I could afford then) still hurt my budget.
Bubbles is everywhere.
