Quoting Mro to Cougar428 <=-

Thanks there Dumas ~ I had already kind of seen that myself as well.
Not that I was saying anything that needed to personal, just
testing. Of course I realize that pretty much anything you post or
put out there will never be private.

you can send them a personal msg via qwk
username@hub/node

I will have to give that a try! Thanks again there MRO, I should
start reading the FM instead of waiting for you to point me in the
right direction...

Cougar


... What do you mean? You actually read this tagline?!?

Sounds like you have settled in pretty well, and I can tell you like
where you live. I also live in a rural area, I have 17 acres and
lots of room. I used to just go out on a clear evening in the
summer and lay in the grass to look at the stars. I haven't done
that in a while, but your message makes me want to give it a try
again this summer!

Thanks again!

I have been here about 19 years now and it was a vary big change from a big city to a vary small town of about 1400 but yes i have settled in preaty well. it's amazing talking about a small town last year my yongest granddauhter graduated from preschool from the next town over and I noticed that most of the parents that were there I knew from over the year and had watched them grow up and a few of them used to play with my children when they were younger. in the city you don't always get to see that. in the city at least for me you are lucky if you get to know the people who live on each side of you. also i'm not sure if i have said this before but small town drama. You can have a chicken egg and by the time you get to the next town it somehow turns into a full blown chicken... :) :) :)

I live in the "sticks" in SW Michigan, and I have 5 acres of
frontage surrounded by 80 acres owned by the previous owner. She
sold off the house and land, but kept the farm land for renting.
I'm on a side road, so there's times I can shoot critters from the
front porch with a .22 or even take a leak off the porch without
disturbing the neighbors.

Wow. Taking a leak in the front yard...

Wait, you're not from Appalachia are you?
(Just kidding! Appalachians - Please don't hit me!)

Thats funny but it's so true I have a few friends not in town but out in the town ship that you could shoot things right off of your porch. I have seen deer , coyotes , bears , skunks and all sorts of wildlife come though town and over the main state highway

Years ago I had co-sysopaccess on my neighbor's BBS and they could view all messages. Besides being a nice guy, my friend gave me access because we had heard from other local BBS's a minor (15y/o girl)liked to play games and talk dirty with other board members. We were concerned for her safety with regards to online predators. We had one younger member, my friend's next door neighbor wh was 16 or 17, and she had met him at a graduation party and had a crush on him. He didn't want any part of here. He said she was too crazy

That is a good idea. I had a few co-sysops back in the day and I was a co-sysop for a few boards also back in the 80s and 90s. I have posted this on dovenet before but i nearly became a victim from an encounter with a predator from a synchronet bbs system years ago. sad thing is the Sysop was aware and just told people to iggnore the person. He tried to lure me to him picking me up and taking me to a hotel to watch porn and mabey do other things depending..... I nearly did wanting to be cool and be an adult.

Raccoon and possum visit the cat food dish at night. We moved it from the
barn and put it under a porch light in a safe direction. I have a friend
with an $8000 Flir thermal optic on a suppressed .22. When I pay off my mortg age that would be a cool investment. A co-worker of my brother hunts coyote behind the house during the spring, and he only has an image intensifier nigh vision device. I've seen people using a red spotlight against raccoons and coyote effectively, since the red light wavelength doesn't appear to bother them.

I live on 17 acres and behind my house is a large uphill area. So I
do shoot my small arms targets right behind my house. The uphill
area is the back stop. I have taken out a few pest animals, but
wouldn't shoot anywhere other than the back. Who knows where the
bullets might end up. Tnere are occasional small black bears that
tear my suet poles down (bend the metal poles). But, I don't
normally see them. Deer as well, but I'm not a hunter.

In little towns everybody knows each other and thinks knowing everyone else' b usiness goes with it. My mother would yak on the phone with her friends ,
and my father would hear the gossip at the coffee shop or down at the tavern.

In a way Facebook has killed much of gossip and messing up stories because everyone can read the original post.

I have 5 acres of frontage that was sold off separately from the 80 acres of farm land that surrounds it. I bought the farmhouse and buildings, but the la nd owner kept the land and moved into town. She rents the land to a local farmer. My nearest neighbor on each side is a quarter of a mile away, with farm land in between us. On the mile stretch of road there are 5 houses
spaced out between fields and wooded areas.
