A place to meet your neighbors & exchange ideas

The simple life.

Rating: 4 after 3 votes

I have come to town to visit relitaves for the holidays.
I will be going home soon. The real world is a nice place to visit. But I have no desire to live here.
Where I live I have no modern conveniences.
No electricity, phone, running water, television or internet.
I chop my own firewood. I carry my water from a hand dug well. I walk almost everywhere I go. The food I eat I grow or kill myself. Sometimes I trade with my neighbors.
I have not been out in the real world for some time. When I return home. I donot plan to return any time soon.
Ignorance (of some things) is bliss.
If - when the crash comes. I will not be effected as much as those of you who live outhere. Learn your skills and be prepaired. If the crash comes? This will turn into a harsh place overnite.

Permalink Reply by Henrey Hawk on December 28, 2009 at 4:51pm: My point is. Some of us do live the simple life. There has been much talk about getting back to a more primitave way of life here. Some people seem to think there will not be much change. Some seem to believe that they can plant a garden in the back yard and live off of it.
I am just trying to exchange information about some of the differences they will face if they decide to go back to a simpler way of life.
You will gain some things and loose some others.
As someone with experence. I may be able to help someone decide if they want to make the tradeoff.; ▶ Reply to This

We were raised by the same people and share beliefs. But I am not anywhere as intune to the real world as He.
Thanks for the complement.; ▶ Reply to This

In this case, Henery Hawk is a cute little chicken hawk from Looney Tunes as far back as 1942. I can't imagine someone would really be given that name at birth.

In any case, I don't really care. The fact that "Henery" came out to play with us for a while is great and I wish him well. He did no harm.; ▶ Reply to This

I have lived as Henrey does in the past.
Responcibilitys forced me back into this world.
I will return to the good life as soon as possible.
Until then the fantasy will have to do.
By the way. Henrey is not misspelled. When I was a small child my Grandma gave me that nickname. At that time I wore glasses and ran in circles. Just like the little chicken hawk in the funny papers.
I am as much Henrey as you are Stimulus or Murdock.
We love you guys too.; ▶ Reply to This

I am correct in the spelling of the name of the little chicken hawk.
Wikipedia has quite a lot of information about Henrey.; ▶ Reply to This
