My town used to be small. It's been over run by yuppies though. <_< Yes, yes, I know...generalizations and all. We still gots a feed store, the gift shop that's been there since I can remember is out of business, and they're talkin' about a fourth exit off the interstate. We live on the edge, next to one of the last of the county's small towns, and I drive through it on my way to work. It's such a pleasure. ^_^

The lights here however, are always red! Swore to my wife, if we manage to make it halfway through town without hittin a red light, we's buyin a lotto ticket. Hasn't happened yet. <_<

I live in a suburb of a small city. Fun, fun fun. Well, a couple days ago I went to the library and I wanted to get some classic communist literature other than Karl Marx and Engels, such as something by Lenin, Trotsky, or Luxemburg. Well, there was two books by Marx and Engels, but not a single thing by Lenin, Trotsky or Luxemburg. However, there were PLENTY of books by Ann Coulter. This is, by the way, Mass-flipping-chusetts, the most liberal state in the U.S. And there is more by conservative shrew, who will have no lasting historical importance, than the leaders of the February Revolution!

Like your style. ;)

This topic needed to be revived. i like it too much. lol

You live in a small town or the sticks when

no one gets off on the interstate exit because all they see is MORE trees.

The only store in "town" also sells feed, hay, bait, tackle, and delivers pizza.

The real pizza plaze wont deliver to your house because you live too far from their location.

The city hall, fire department, sheriff's office, library, and courthouse are all the same building.

Hi Dee Jay,

Been citified over the years. But, that's a small town term that I haven't heard since I become one.

We used to make jokes about Seattleites. find one hunting and run - they'll shoot at anything!

What I remember most is the grave conversations about the weather. Nothing to do with global warming, it was about finding that perfect time to spray the parathion on the cherries, or whether the mornings would chill enough to redden the apples.

A non conformist was a guy who didn't have a crew cut.

Commies were fluorinating our water!

You know you're from a small town when the clerk in the store tells you she was sorry to hear your biscuits burned at breakfast and you hadn't told anyone!

(True story!)

You know you're from a small town when you walk in the post office and find the staff gathered around reading the latest postcard from YOUR grandmother's vacation. And aren't embarrassed to comment on how her trip is going.

(another true story)

You know you live out in the sticks

* If You still have an old dug well and outhouse in your yard.

* If your old rusty tin roof is leaking.

* If your post office still has Billy The Kid and Jesse James wanted posters on the wall.

* If Pony Express still delivers your mail.

* If the IRS is still trying to track you down for selling moonshine.

* If you haven't heard the Civil War is over you may live waaaaaayyyyy back in the sticks!!

and finally..

* If you still keep all the Sears catalogs to supply your outhouse you may live off the beaten path of civilization!!

Not to mention your bum may be really sore!!

Huggsss...Katrina

Small?

A big Sunday for us is getting dressed up and driving a couple miles to the gas station by the interstate...

There we'll fill the car with gas for the week, rent a movie for the evening (no cable out here and we only get a couple of stations "through the air")Buy a paper to see who went to jail on Saturday night, and get all the latest gossip of who's apples are doing well and who had to spray their beans for beetles...exciting stuff...

You know you live in a small town when you get your mail even if the address has been left off or is wrong.

When there are more churches than stores.

When the checker at the grocery store reminds you what you forgot to buy.

When your child comes home from school and tells you what you did that day and where you went because the town grapevine extends to the school.

Everyone at church knows by Sunday morning why you got arrested/in trouble Saturday night because listening to the police scanner is a hobby in every household.

You can't date people from your school since you're more than likely cousins with all of them.

The county paper is weekly and in black and white..and the photos are printed with a dot matrix printer.

It all depends on what you like-there's a city about an hour away. But I have more to do than I have time for-and I never worry about getting robbed or anything. There was a red fox looking in my screen on the siding glass door a couple of days ago. I find that exciting. And I have DSL so I am connectedto anythhing I want.

I love small towns.

Your pond: Fishing n Swimming

Neighbor on the left: Swimming ONLY

Lol the neighbor for fishin only, ahd so much seaweed gunk all around the pond, you couldnt get in there even if you wanted, and you diddnt wanna, pike, carp, bowfin...not swimmin water, specially with the big turtle he had in there

Our pound was fun to swim in but it ahd catifsh, bluegill, some bass, so you could fish

When your neighbor actually gets a NEW mailbox and has a party for it ((Once again, alot of fun lol))

      Maybe surface tension?   I was in a political debate yesterday and it got way too focused on social stuff and I just had to steer the conversation back to how natural gas transitions to a liquid under pressure.  One of the people I was debating had a career working in that field and it was a good opportunity to expose stuff like that.  He mentioned that it isn't just pressure, it is temperature too.  So then I mentioned how the lines are running underground and asked how that played a role in it.  He came back saying that natural gas is a liquid under pressure.  I guess I didn't get a straight answer on that, but it did move my thinking one step down the road.  Perhaps I should have been more direct with him and asked him at what temperature and pressure.  Is there a chart?   I feel people would be better off if they paid more attention to the objects in their environment instead of focusing on some of the things that we hear so much of in the news.  People are pretty clueless as to how much trigonometry plays a role in so many things in our society.  Even land surveyors don't really use it anymore because programmers locked it away in a function.  Much like how cascading style sheets (CSS) is a wrapper for math.  I wonder what former president Trump thinks about all of that?  He must have some knowledge of how his buildings are constructed, right?  There certainly is a part of me that thinks he is just putting on a show about all of this.  Perhaps I'm wrong though.  All kinds of people in the world.

      Hello Jennifer and welcome back.  I find New England to be a great place to live.  I have a number of acquaintances and friends in Maine and I love the state.  It seems you are doing well.     Hugs,  Jani

      Oh, my "maybe this person is an egg" story is the (male presenting) piercing person and I discussed body hair removal methods, he says he doesn't want any hair except on his head, which is what I said during a couple hair removal sessions before and just after the egg cracked.

      I, too, am lucky.  Here in the UK I have a great therapist, a fully supportive GP, and a psychiatrist and endo who look after me and my needs.  I found the therapist on Psychology Today.

      Over the last few years of being on this site and going through medical transition, I've come to own the M->F identification.  Funny, I made a typo of M->T.  It is a curiosity if I'll ever put Gender: Female on this site.  It is my intention to be there someday.   Right now, because of career stuff and a high stress event with an electric hair clipper last fall, I'm feeling much more masculine than I would like.  I think that once I make some decent headway with my third career, I'll settle into a more feminine feeling.   I never really considered gender very much.  I certainly always used a feminine appearance as my presentation goal. I think that when I was young, I briefly had the idea of transitioning, but I convinced myself quickly that medical transition would be a bad outcome, so I put all those feelings and ideas in the closet for decades.  I'm still very apprehensive about medical transition.  I've always taken health to be a high priority for me.  I wrote a book last December about my fears of it all and my conclusion ultimately is that sometimes there is more to life than being a pillar of health.  It's important to take some chances if that is where your heart takes you.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep.

      Thanks so much @Vidanjali,@Ivy, and @DonkeySocks She's stable now and going home Monday after tests and some observation time. So that's a positive relief.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:
