Verizonfioslover--you are the exact reason I packed my little red neck bags twenty something years ago and moved to the country. What a piece of work you are! Geez if we could all be so bright. Maybe if we got rid of all the farms and ranches like the one I live on--you could grow your crops on your roof-top in New York or something? Maybe you should think about this next time you are chomping into a nice juicy steak or greasy hamburger or enjoying the salad bar at your favorite restaurant. Where in the hell do you think those "VIDDLES" came from, you stupid ASS?
Since you seem to think it can all be solved by just "moving" why don't you do me a favor and move your ass somewhere else so no-one has to be subjected to your BS. Try Mars. I hear the foods great there.
BTW--your comment about getting with the technology cracks me up. I would daresay I could beat your yo-yo brain on all levels of tech and could easily adapt to city life again if I wanted to but I would bet that you couldn't spend one night out where I live without going into store/service withdrawels, you big sissy.
Think about what would happen to you if you lost all services, including power and water, couldn't go to a store, talk on the phone or rely on the corner grocery for your food for weeks at a time. Been there done that several times in my thirty years of country living.
Last year, we had a power outage that lasted over a week on account of a snow storm. Cooked on the woodstove, colder than hell, well is run on a pump, so the generator came in real handy. Always have to wait because we are last on the line, because (and this is pretty much universal) the power companies always get the heavily populated areas up and running first. I am sure you are thinking industry needs. You would be wrong. My brother-in-law, a mucky-muck with one of them, stated this; "Power has to go on in the cities first or they freak out and all sorts of things (LOOTING, etc.) can happen. Here in the country when the power goes out, we HELP each other.
The way I look at it is this. I have, for years now, managed to do without a store within an hour, people right up next to my house (we have several acres) dumb-asses like you, smog, keeping up with the Jone's, gangs, etc. I put up with the occasional bear knocking over my trash-cans, deer in the road, snow and occasionally ice, power outages every winter, trees down in my driveway that always seem to take down a line when they fall, muddy boots during calving, dusty scratches during haying, sheep shit getting tracked into my house, and windstorms that would make you think you were going to visit the land of Oz. Every summer we have the threat of wildfires because of lightning strikes and cougar have come right into our barn and killed our livestock. Every night the coyotes sound like they are right outside my door and I have lost a faithful cat or two to them. Yesterday--I found a black widow hanging out on one of my lawn chairs and I am sure if I went out in the back pasture near the ridge--I could find a rattle snake. Still--I would prefer any of these natural predators and annoyances over having to live in the same area with someone like you.
BTW--Hughesnet DOES suck. Who cares that you are a dealer (Obviously) I have had it for over two years because cable and DSL and clear blue, etc. are not available out here. Hell--we don't even have fibre-optic phone lines out here. The bottom line on HughesNet is; they are advertising something they are not supplying and I seriously am not a sue-happy person, but I would jump right in to get at them
As far as their out-sourcing--I have to agree with you--just about every company does that now and I have had some excellent service from India. I try to remember there is a language barrier and they are as frustrated as I am, and proceed from there. I do get as pissed as the next person, but I try not to take it out on them.
Please know this Verizonfioslover --I am not downing every person who chooses to live in the city--just you. I have lots of city dwelling friends who are awesome people and I get pretty excited about going to places like San Francisco because it is such a different cool place to visit. But then at night when I am done being wowed by the city lights, I look up and miss home big time. Nothing beats stepping outside on your deck and gazing at the stars, unobstructed by lights, housing, noise, traffic or any of the other things that make them sort of obsolete in places like LA and San Fran. Can't beat the real thing. |
