people don't understand this way of life.
My wife and I will be moving into a more reasonably priced home in April...I already know I will have 20 or more people with pickups waiting to load up and help when we move...THAT is what I'm talking about.

I have a bo at work who is closing on his house in January...we already have the plans to get him moved..there will probably be 50 people there....THAT is what I am talking about.

It's just a different life...and it's a good life.And of course we all dont listen to country...I was in a rock band up until a year ago.

The point is...don't judge us by a few idiots.I can't speak for everyone but I live such an amazing life now with all my bo's and the feeling of community I get here that I never felt anywhere else.

I am a progressive...and I am at home in the south
