How Thick is Your Bubble

Re: How Thick is Your Bubble

I don't really watch TV, hadn't eaten in any of those restaurants and don't but mass produced beer.

Figured I'd have been more elite. :mad:
 
Re: How Thick is Your Bubble

48. Apparently, I live in a bubble. I don't go to chain restaurants or drink mass market beer.
I went to a 99 Restaurant(chain in New England) Friday when we were in Worcester for the tourney but it wasn't on the list. I enjoy Yuengling lager so I did check the mass market beer.(I think it's mass marketed)

No bubble for this guy, even if I went 0-fer on movies, and only a couple of tv shows, no Ellen or Dr. Phil all the way through, and only a couple of chain restaurants. I'm just a small-town, blue-collar, first gen middle class kind of dude.

Yeah, most of the TV shows where they asked if you'd seen an episode from start to finish were all geared towards women or simply air during daytime TV. That's not possible with my job.

Rich, pampered housewives who don't work.

Evangelical Christians will often insist that the women stay home to rear children. I have a friend who said she'd be a stay-at-home mother even if her husband only earned $30k per year. They would find ways to make it work because she it's where women belong, according to the Bible. She grew up as the youngest of five, her mother stayed at home, and her dad was an English teacher at a private, religious-based school, so his pay wasn't very high.

I have a cousin who does that - she stays home with the four kids, and he's a music teacher in a rural Indiana district who makes ends meet by joining a landscaping crew during the summer. They are happy, and I guess that is what matters. I know I couldn't stand it. <--- bubble

28. A lot of my bubble is self-imposed. I'd rather drill a hole in my skull than watch most of the dreck on TV today. I guess I'm a little too Fark Independent (tm).

I was solidly middle class growing up, and am the first in my family with a 4-year Bachelors (dad got an Associates and became an accountant, mom handled property descriptions for tax purposes for the county.)

No idea on the neighborhood not having college degrees - does my time attending college itself count?

I did not count my four years at Tech for that question. I perceived based on subsequent visits that the neighborhood I grew up in from 0-4 years of age was a lot more blue collar than the neighborhoods I've lived in ever since (with the exception of Houghton). However, maybe I'm dead wrong and my life has been even more perfect and bubblelicious than my score says. :p

She told how her dad, her siblings and she would take on varying odd jobs to help - delivering newspapers, thinks like that. I can't recall all that she mentioned, but had some fun stories about delivering newspapers that stuck with me.
