I'm guessing two thirds here are urban or suburban.  


   ???

 ;D

I think that much less than 1/3 of all members here are urban.

I, for one, live in a suburb.

Rural, thank God. My husband and I had enough of raising 2 kids in the city. After our car was stolen, it was the last straw. Green acres for us now.

 ;) Gotcha, lizmom.

Yep, I'm definitely rural.  Close to a small country town.

Okay, Sapphire, much less than 1/3 here urban?  Why do you think that?

Whoops, I meant rural. That's a typo, that is.

Oh.  Okeedokee.

Well, that would make sense anyway; I think one third American pop'n is urban anyway.  That's just a guess.

That's probably about right.

     Rural, pop. 550, and that is to big.

We are so rural, 911 and the police can't find us.  :P True story.

LOL! We must be moving on up 'cause they just put in the 911 system here. Course, Fed Ex still can't find us.... :-\ And it's only an hour to the nearest Wal-Mart and mall.... :-X

Rural!  ;)

After way too many years of big city living!

Oops.  I don't know what I was thinking.

I think TWO-thirds American pop'n is urban or suburban, not one-third.

Urban, but wishing I was rural !

   Willowbirch; Why police we take care of our own.
 
     
     Anlilam;
    I was raised in Chicago Il. so I know what you mean.

Okay, fine. When my house is on fire, YOU come put it out, LOL  ;D

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

I'm sorry to say that I live about 1 mile within the city limits, so I'm suburban.

I really want a small place in the country to call home. My kids are raised and gone, so paying a few more bills off may make that possible.

I told my wife that we didn't even need electricity. I mentioned we could get a DC powered television and just pedal a generator when we wanted to watch. Further, I mentioned we really didn't need a car and pay insurance. She told me to write and let her know how I was doing.

 ;D

In Christ,
Tom

BEP I think our wives came from the same mold, cause that is close to what my wife said a few months ago.

I unfortunatly live in town, but we are looking for our first house outside of town, or at least a small town. Abilene is just to big 200,000 ish. I grew up outside of a 900 people town with one blinking traffic light. It was so quiet, and you knew your neighbors. We haven't been able to buy a house of our own because of my job. Being a military familiy we move around a whole lot. Well it doesn't seem like we will be moving around much now. We are stationed at one of the "Black hole bases". Once you get stationed here it is hard to relocate.

In body I live in a city, in spirit I live in the country.

Oklahoma Howdy to Coyote,

My wife said "fine" to the smaller house and 3 to 5 acres of wooded land. However, she balked and demanded running water, indoor plumbing, electricity, telephone, and all the trimmings.   :D

I think that we have our wives spoiled.  :D

In Christ,
Tom

 ;D You see? If it weren't for the wisdom of women, we'd all be living in caves and eating bugs! lol

Well caves stay cool, and crickets are pleasantly crunchy. A tip on eating crickets pull the legs off if you try to swallow them whole cause they try to crawl back out. Or you can just cruch them and all is well. ;)

Caves build up carbon monoxide - and besides, everyone knows worms have more protein.

(P.S. speaking of worms)...Did anyone go through the same Y2K stuff we did? We still have a couple years' worth of grain in our basement, and the giant rabbits we'd planned to breed and butcher if times got tough...and all the information on surviving if we had nothing else to eat but bugs...did you know the most recommended way to eat worms is put them in kool-aid and drink them? (okay - worms are one thing. But worms in kool-aid?)

By the way, Coyote - forget your cricket-eating methods. Just cover the little creeps in chocolate, it solves a lot and it tastes better.

urban....and very happy to be so

Im a RURAL trapped in an URBAN setting.  :'(

 ;D Isn't it funny how everyone would like to live in a rural area, away from towns and traffic and the like...I think that's what happened, though, when towns were invented!! Everyone said, "Hey, that's a great spot, no neighbors for miles, no shopping malls, just clean, fresh country..." And then they all moved to the country, and made it a city.  :P

We moved to one of the few places in our town that was "rural-ish". I guess everybody else liked the spot too, 'cause now we have three neighbors in (literally) our back yard, two in front of us, and more to come...and now a real estate man moved in next door, so we'll have city traffic, too!! lol

Rural and I LOVE It :)

Brother Love :)
