I lived in AZ for 32 years and loved it. One day I got a wild hair and moved to a little town in the show me state.

Well there are 100 people in my little town. Kinda wierd I'm a city boy but now live in the country and I love it. This has to be the best thing I ever did for the wife and kids.

Every time I go home I crack up. I look around and I can't see any other homes from my house.

I love it there on the farm and damn glad I made the move!

So all you city folk can have your traffic and crime. Just stay away from me and the peacefull countryside I call home.

Oh we don't speak spanish here either!

^You will. No place is sacred, brother. We're being infested.

However, I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in the ghetto, graduated to the suburbs, but my ideal home is on at least 10 acres with a fish pond and plenty of stuff to shoot at.

Did ya move in with Jade and the Midget ??

wheel,

So, if they put in a fish pond at the prison, you're going to start sleeping at work?

Wheel first I don't roll that way...

Second I was here before Jaderose.

^^

Gotcha ...

just Fnn around 🙂

wheel,,

BORING...I'll take city or suburban life any day.

One more thing. I think too many in this country are way over extended. The way I look at it is the simple way of life will get by much more easy if the **** hits the fan.

But hell if you want to live on top of eachother nothing I can do about it.

^

Coop,

you may be correct.

I think I'll look for a Chalet in Switzerland..

lol

Hey, to each his own...we need all types, not knocking it. I just remember going to my grandfather's farm in Mississippi in the winter as a kid and being bored out of my skull. Done Manhattan, South Beach, now married in suburbia and life is good.

10 acres is nothing

Hey coop, sounds like heaven to me!

hell, 1 acre is room for plenty of malt

but Iknow what you are saying, grm: For one thing , it takes a lot of money to make city life good

Re: 11

10 acres is eternity to a guy like me. I grew up dirt poor. I don't even know what a half acre looks like.

I moved on to suburbia. Which has even less room, at least here in kookifornia.

10 acres with a fish pond and plenty of woods, with critters I could kill (for food or fun) sounds like heaven to me.

A brother could likely set you up with that.

MACS I wasn't rippin, but growing up in Iowa and now living here land is cheap. Especially right now.

My buddy has 150+ acres up near Jade and looking at buying the adjacent 150 acres to his homestead. They get paid to leave it in its natural prarie state and hunt and fish on it. Their home adn manicured lawn probably sit on an acre or two with the rest at their beck and call.

He makes the same money I do. Its doable, just a matter of what you want to trade in return (like so cal weather)

he also has a tabacco hut and seperate man cave (bigger than my house) with wood stove and beat up old chars to smoke in

I know!

Just let the housing market in CA come back! (LOL)

I bought my house on the cheap. Watched it go to "Who the hell would pay half a mil for that small of a house!?" proportions and stayed put. I'm still in the black... but I coulda made a killin'.

Anywho... I'll have to get my SIL to convince my wife Wisconsin is okay. She lived there with her husband for years. She loved it. (except for the cold, but she got used to it)

Never met anyone from Wisconsin that didn't want to go back. Of cource none of them knew 8track.

Honestly folks seem to love the place.

I grew up in RI, brother. I can do Missouri weather. It ain't CA, or the Philippines, but it ain't quite as bad as an Atlantic wind in December, eh?
