Just doing a little venting - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MyFairLacy · 03-02-2008, 11:03 AM

I grew up in a small town (and my parents still live there)...a town of about 4800. My parents and grandparents own (or owned) several businesses there so almost everyone knows who they are and therefor knows who I am. You know, there is a song called "Everyone died famous in a small town" and it is so true

Gosh, I love being in a much larger town now (about 150,000 to 200,000 depending on if college students are in town or not) and it is so nice going places without having to worry about who you are going to run into. In my home town, I HATE going to the grocery store or especially Walmart because you run into so many people and have to talk to all of them. Walmart there is like the "gathering place"..people just stop and talk forever in the middle of the isles. I can't imagine living in a small town again...I like to go back and visit my family, but I've turned into a city girl for sure. It's almost like stepping back in time when I go home... It's a dry county there too (which i think is the stupidest thing ever..what's the point

). Oh small towns...not at all for me anymore

I would but, there are no books on that subject in this little library. They only have books in there that the town council approves of.

So mostly its just a bunch of reference books and children's books.

I guess its a good thing though, if I did that I'd probably end up in jail or something.

OOO! I know! I bet the postman knows your business too! Just order a lot of free catalogs and such for weird things! ***cough*** adult topics or alternative medicine. They think you have all these health problems anyway! lol!

Oh yeah they know my business. I've had to explain to them what YT is because I've gotten boxes with things like YT RULES! written on them. Sometimes I don't get things that have been mailed to me. My mom mailed me something BEFORE CHRISTMAS and I have yet to receive it. I mailed something to a YT member a couple of months ago and as far as I know she hasn't received it. (if you have pm me and let me know

)

I get a G.W. Little catalog every so often and I have walked out the door to see the postlady thumbing through it and shaking her head on her cell phone talking about how crazy it is to spend that kind of money on stuff for a dog! When she saw me coming she waved it and said, "I was just looking at these cute little clothes." Riiiigghtt. Apparently she didn't realize I had heard her.

I should get some friends to send me letters and put from Witches R Us or something where the return address goes. LOL I could even mail myself some. I could get Mike to drop them off at one of the other post offices on his way to work or something. LOL

Well you have something the rest of them don't seem to have - a sense of humor & a live & let live attitude.
