WOW! I'm originally from a small town but not THAT small that people would talk about what you're buying at the grocery store
! It's nice that you have a bit of a sense of humor about it, though. I can't imagine living around all that DRAMA! I hate drama...
Why do they even care WHAT you buy or what you do??? These people need to get a hobby or something--find something constructive to do with all of their free time.
I think at this point, I'd start acting really bizarre around people, just to get a reaction--see what they'll say next. Go beyond your porch with the garden hose and your clown makeup
