      I’d be you sometimes if I wasn’t so busy being me. Sometimes it might be cool to be you and not me. Even something as benign as the way your mouth feels when closed,

      do your teeth line up better than mine? Or have you developed a weird way for your jaw to rest due to clipping teeth if you’re not careful.

      Anyways I think it’s my turn to report in on the huddle so bye

    Compared to them, I’m broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it’s getting leased to us at cost.

    We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren’t stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?

      Same, my family has lived in this house for more than 100 years. My great grandfather build it with his own hands. My grandfather and father were farmers. Now there’s new folks from the city who payed top dollar for their houses. They’re all complaining about the farm and everything my or my family does. The old neighbourhood is slowly dying (from old age), but those folks knew how to live in a rural area. These new folk want to apply the rules of the city here. I guess they’ll be turning into a suburb within the next 20 years.

    I’m a foreigner. Most aren’t. I work from home. Most don’t. I drink kava everyday. I doubt anybody else does.

    nothing. I am a very ordinary earthling in a very ordinary and nondescript living area. Everything is very very typical and does not stand out at all.

    I think we’re the only middle aged couple with no kids on this street and adjacent ones. Every couple I’ve seen even remotely near our age when we walk our dog either has children or a pram.

    Did try to make friends with some new neighbours a while back that were roughly our age. Very friendly first chat, they were both enthusiastic about greeting us - they approached us first.

    The first thing they asked was whether we had children, when we said no they were visibly disappointed and seemed to lack interest in furthering the conversation.
