Redneck's update Living in the city, ugh.

[RedneckDyke]

Hi y'all. I know it's been a long time since I've been here. We finally had to sell the beasts and move into the city. My wife is a nurse and got a good job out of state so I followed her. Long story short, the economy made it hard for people to afford luxury items like pastured pork any more. We got to where we were bleeding money trying to feed everybody. So we sold all the beasts and moved to a big ol' metro area. We are going to spend a couple years making money and eating ramen noodels then get somemmore land.
But don't worry. I am still a big ol' redneck and wear camo britches and love bluegrass. I will never stop being a country woman if I live in the big ol' city.
I can''t have hogs here but there are places to grow veggies so it'll be ok. I am currently on the computer at the lefty cyber cafe/bookstore/coffee house. Cities have their bright spots.

Glad to hear from you RND! Cities DO have their advantages ... just keep focused on those while you are there and continue to reach for your long range goals and dreams! Best of everything in your new situation.

Bring a bit of the country to the city. Some folks might learn something. I love bookstores and cafe/cyber sites. Have met some interesting people.

I don't understand why you're not allowed to have hogs in the city. A hog can be house trained just like a dog. And, hogs don't bark at night and keep the neighbors awake.

Sorry to hear that you have to leave the country and move to the city.

I'm glad to hear that you have found the silver lining though. Enjoy the up-sides of the city while you're there. And be grateful that your wife has work, too many people are job-less right now.

You can take a redneck out of the country but you can't take the country out of the redneck! There are plenty of rednecks here in Dayton. Enjoy gardening in the warm months. You might even make a few bucks if they have a farmer's market in your town.

Hi Red! Sorry to hear you had to sell the farm, but glad you're still around. Enjoy what you can and dream of what you will have once again in the future. Enjoy the cafe! Sounds like it might become a bit of a refuge for you.
