Her first and very sincere response was..."what rules to bend, what rules to break, and that everybody that acts like saints is full of sh@$!" growing up my parents owned a construction company and as i was growing i remember the stress they dealt with on different jobs and dealing with different companies.

now that i am older they own a very successful commercial constuction company that builds chain retail stores and restaurants all along the east and southern coast.

i asked her a short time back what did they learn that made all the difference and made things different? Her first and very sincere response was…”what rules to bend, what rules to break, and that everybody that acts like saints is full of sh@$!”
