We have to go over to some friend's home for lunch. I do not really want to go because these folks are kinda boring, all they ever talk about is their pretty yard, or what type of paint they are going to use when they paint their house. Debbie has already warned me to use good manners and not to act crude. Last time we were there, I embarrassed Debbie because I took the catsup bottle and made it sound like a fart when I squeezed it to put some catsup on my hamburger. If you will hold the plastic bottle at an angle while squeezing it, it will make a fart sound. They are nice folks, but are just nerd type folks...not interested in the outdoors, wild animals, fishing or that type of thing. Their idea of the great outdoors is visiting the zoo! I just want to eat the hamburger and get out of there...as a matter of fact, I don't even want to go, period! Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)
we only socialise with a few people. Some that we have tried to get to know just have nothing in common with us. I could not mention hunting, would be met with either polite smiles and a change of subject, or in the case of some, outright disapproval. If i said anything about logging or tree cutting, that would be a real problem. Most of them are never content to have a couple drinks, just want to get drunk and use a get together as an excuse.
If we talk about goldpanning, they all want to try it, as long as it is nearby, close to the mall, no real work involved, and there is instant gratification
In any community though, there are folks who share the same attitudes and lifestyle. I am sure you will find them .

would want to get as far away from the city as possible. Say, is there any grizzly bears where you pan for gold? If so, has any of them ever caused a problem?
Wayne, the problem that I am running into is one where I am out of my element...these are city folks doing city things. They are nice people but our common interest is not the same. They seem to like to drive and be seen in expensive cars, they know every sales clerk in every store at every shopping mall in the area, they like fancy dogs with fancy grooming hair cuts, and they know where every fast food cafe is in the entire city...everything from fish to hot dogs! I just do not belong here, but there is not much I can do about it at the moment other than make the best of it. I have to find a doctor somewhere that will fix my legs, the sooner the better. One of these days, I will be back out in the brush country, you can place a bet on that! Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)

like living in the city, but give poor Debbie a break and be on good behavior! No gross sounds at the table of she may have to punish you when you get home!
and burgers too,ketchup is for french fries and the cream gravy that smothers chicken fried steaks,of course nobody likes people to tell them how to eat their food.i put some ketchup on some steak at a friends house as a kid and thought his dad was going to have excrement coming out when he saw me.
i put ketchup on my steaks as a kid and my Dad and uncle would get real twisted! They said kids did not deserve steak <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008_ZNxdm799YYCA' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_2_103v.gif' alt='Barbeque' border=0></a>
