Everyone that lives here has basically lived here for hella generations, my kids are 5th, and everyone knows everyone. Like one big family. :party:

See that's bizarre to me.

I couldn't even tell you my neighbors' names.

Any of them. You'd think living on the same floor in this condo for seven years would net you a conversation but nahhh. :shrug:

That's the "Don't stand under icicles!!!! They can fall and KILL YOU!!!" philosophy I was raised on that infects me now. Can't help it. :shrug:







Are you using a wrist rest as you type? :coffee:

My town is like that too. My kids are friends with some friends kids, have the same teachers etc....

There is something very romantic about that but eff that. I'll take FTs romance and a good mugging outside any day now.ROFL

I'd rather have to deal with a bear than a mugger, lol.


I left for 8 years to go to college (see- get knocked up and have kids) and came back when we could not take it any longer. It wasn't bad at first, where we lived is where most people drive down the mountain to shop. But really it was the kids dealing with all the little ghetto kids at school that was the final decision. None of that up here. Absolutely none.

It was about 5 years into city living when we decided we had to leave. Now I appreciate this place more than ever. Not a day goes by where I don't wake up and feel joy for my life ;)

Oh no doubt I am happy as hell to have the boys have gone to school and grown up in Sleepyville. I wouldn't have had it any other way. There is a lot to be said for watching your kids swing under a tree you planted.:thumb:

FT feels a lot of joy in his life too. :coffee:

That's how it was for us. The only person we ever got to know was a gal who was a drama queen. She lived next door to us and she wanted her kids, who were terrors, to play with ours. She used to always bring good wine and weed later than night, so she stuck around, lol.

She used to be a Budweiser girl. Dated Ricky Henderson (or was one of his bitches, I guess) off and on for 15 years. Interesting stories, to say the least.

I get like that in NY. I really do. That and I get claustrophic in the canyons. I feel utterly squashed. I also can't stop imagining earthquakes when I'm there! .:eek:

I lived in the Bay for the first 12 years of my life. Mom and Dad moved away from here when they got married for his job. But we still came back 2x a month to visit.

Anywhoo, I have been in lots of earthquakes. I was actually riding a unicycle during the Loma Prieta in '89. Screw going through one right in the middle of an industrious area like NYC or SF!
 
You know, the typical fighting about not keeping certain things in pants :blah:

Crackheads are a mile or two over.
 
My son lives in Brooklyn and works in lower Manhattan. I sort of like that part of NYC :shrug:
