If you don't mind not living in/around a major metropolis, no it won't suck.

My parents lived there for about five years and while there ain't much going on there is plenty nearby if you're of the type to move about. If you want everythign within 20 miles of home, though, you may be very bored.

Yes, housing is much cheaper. Lani and I would cry every time we visited my parents and got a look at the real estate prices.

I only knew this part of the song my heart, the rest I Googled. So I'm only partialy scary.

Winky Dink, and you
Winky Dink, and me
Always have a lot of fun together
Winky Dink, and You
Winky Dink, and me
We'll be pals in fair or stormy weather.

Ask Chris about my scary song knowledge, though.

Okay, you know the Winky Dink song... but not a verse of Monty Python???

*sigh* They really WILL let anyone on this board these days. Who's running this madhouse, anyway? ;)

You had me worried. That's all I knew as well.

Monty Who?

I have one that won't sleep anywhere else. Usually she has company. This is their 3rd one. The last 2 both broke after being overloaded with furry bodies.
The things need to come with weight warnings.

I'm feeling kind of sad, tonight. And lonely. Mostly in regards to the wedding.

I put a toe back into the water of the online wedding communities this week, because I had finished my favors and I didn't feel like there was anybody I could talk to about it. But sharing these things with people I don't know-- particularly when they're all talking about frolicking about planning with their friends and family-- just isn't helping me. Because *my* mom is too sick to even talk about the planning, and her absence makes the joy of all of this ache, in small part. My attendants are 2000 miles away and thanks to the time difference, by the time I get home from work-- after 8 anymore, these days-- they're all already in bed. The people directly around me actually change the subject when I talk about the wedding-- and I don't feel like I do it to an extent that it's rude. I try to bring it up sparingly.

But you know what? I want to talk about it, goddamnit. This is the biggest celebration of my life-- surrounding the happiest event of my life. And although there'll be missing puzzle pieces (Mom, for likely most of the day, and all of you) I'm really excited about it, and about the marriage. I just want someone who wants to look at my shoes, or give me opinions about my invitations. Who'll go out for tea with me when Tom's brothers take him to Vegas in May. And aside from my sweet groom, whom I'm trying not to overwhelm, I feel kind of alone.

Aww, I"m excited for you LSP!! As ususal Life gets in the way of everything. Talk your heart out I say!

LSPE - you know I'm online nearly perpetually. Chatter away re: wedding goodness. I can't come to tea, but I am generally up for some wedding chatter. Bonus points for links to things I can opine over.
