“Find a New Yorker that feels the way you do that would like to trade places with me.”

Refer to cognitive dissonance,, of course i won’t find one. They are all happy to live like children. And here’s the good news,,you don’t have to find someone trade! If it’s so awesome,,,,

I know your game, seen lots of New Yorkers talk like you. Always telling how wonderful it is there. They talk like they are in a hurry to get home, but never *act* like it.

Alas, see my previous post. I'd move to NYC in a second if I could overcome the only obstacle in my way: Spousal approval. She was happy when we had four acres in the boonies, but I was developing an unhealthy fascination with sleeping pills and razor blades.

I feel the same way about rural life as you do about city life. I can't believe they're really happy living in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and plenty of time to do it in. I stuck it out for a full 10 years before I had to tell her that I was leaving that particular corner of Hell with or without her, because it was really that hard on me. I can handle a lot of things, but mind crushing boredom is bad for the soul.
