Hi all!!
« on: March 13, 2011, 03:17:39 PM »
One of the things I love/hate about moveing from a big city to a very small country town is the convience factor!! (not really, but you get the idea!:-)We have been in Missouri for over two years now, and we are slowly adjusting to the lifestyle.
One thing I miss about the city, is the convience! There was a Starbucks or fast food place on just about every corner, or intersection!! And I have realized, I CAN live without fast food!! lol...When we first moved up here, I thought I'd die without a Krystals! lol...Haven't had one of those in over two years! The nearest town we have is at a hundred miles away! lol...and as much as I love Starbucks, I am soooo thankful, we don't have one here, or any all you can eat places. I just never realized how much we "abused the privelage" so to speak! It's easy, you don't have to cook, or clean up! But in return, you're slowly killing yourself! So, I must say, that living in a small country town with minimal fast food, it's not so hard to turn them down! So when we do go back for a visit, it won't be so hard to say no to! It's all about self-will and how motivated you are! Happy Sunday!!

Hi snobles!  :)

We live out in the sticks too and love it.

Shopping happens twice a month (once for non-perishables and twice for perishables).
There is a Starbucks in the shopping complex along with a Fred Meyer and Albertson's grocers, along with a Costco.
My wife LOVES Starbucks and orders coffees with their sugar free syrups for flavor when she's in the area.

There are times though when I wish the Home Depot hardware store were closer.
Something always seems to need repair around the property and/or house.
What you do today is what matters!

I seriously think we have less than 7 police officers in my town. Ask Doug and Umpa about Murphy. They know my town.
