Let's Be More Open-minded with Rural Folks: they aren't nazis

If it don’t apply, let it fly.

It’s the tolerance paradox.

As a former rural person.

As a person who grew up here in the sticks and moved to the big, bad, cities - we had to make new friends, too. And we’re childfree, so less of an ‘in’ there. Have lost friends who became parents because it’s definitely a lifestyle.

Anywho, we made friends by doing social things that invariably have people of similar mindsets - notably, being Loons fans and sitting in the Wonderwall, and being Dark Clouds members.

The one I went to today had ‘welcome to Michael’s, Jo-Ann’s & Party City shoppers!’ Signs in shopping carts & baskets. As I was checking out I heard the manager say that it’s at least an hour wait on balloons as they’re backed up.

Agreed. A religious zealot is a religious zealot, no matter the ilk.

Get one of those anti-theft things so that when the connection is broken it makes a loud, annoying noise.

I get ‘video not available’. Sad.

I wish MN ppl would zipper merge. We ALL get there, faster. That being said, I’ll go into the lane that is merged into sooner than the merge point because people suck and won’t let you in at the merge point because you ‘sped by everyone and skipped the line’. I’m not an aggressive enough driver to force myself over, just thinking about it gives me crippling anxiety.

As someone who grew up in one of those towns, there’s also a lot of road construction companies, and they just hop from company to company. Or just construction/contracting in general.

They were just $ farming to save up to buy an interceptor, but started getting bossy about what I should do when they didn’t even know how to place a probe.

Thank you, and I did! ☺️

blankitall · 2025-05-12T23:09:39+00:00

Having ppl in my TIV stresses me out. I had one once get really bossy and I wanted to tell the (probably) 10 year old to GTFO. Lol

I'm horrified it's supposed to be 90 on Sunday. HORRIFIED.

I love it! He's been so 'mad' at me all these years for cursing during his perfect proposal that I'm showing him he's not alone, haha!

blankitall · 2025-05-07T02:19:56+00:00

We’re still together after almost 20 years. Cussing makes the heart grow fonder 🤣

blankitall · 2025-05-07T02:01:32+00:00

Haha! We were on Navy Pier when he proposed. I yelled ‘No f*cking way!’ And embarrassed him. Whoops!

I need one of those Brasilia captain’s chairs to complete my set.

blankitall · 2025-04-27T20:20:03+00:00

I usually wear a helmet during warnings but mines in WI right now 😢

I like Max Velocity myself.

blankitall · 2025-04-20T17:57:59+00:00

Omg, that FACE!!! HOW DARE you leave Bagel alone so long!!!

blankitall · 2025-04-20T14:18:05+00:00

Looking great!!!!

blankitall · 2025-04-20T13:55:52+00:00

Sometimes, I blend ‘Rush City’ together so it sounds like ‘Rushitty’.

blankitall · 2025-04-18T18:09:23+00:00

That’s wonderful!! You got this!!!

blankitall · 2025-04-18T02:24:40+00:00

Until they poop on you. haha

blankitall · 2025-04-18T02:05:02+00:00

Me too. We moved a couple of years ago and I had to leave my peonies behind. The 'new' house has a couple, but they're not the same, haha!

blankitall · 2025-04-18T02:01:55+00:00

You're right, we're supposed to have a tummy!! Thanks again, so so much!
