OK, so I live in the sticks now!

Ok, so you might live in the country if:

You have to get a riding lawn mower (there’s really no option).

Your water has little black particles in it because it’s a well. Well, we are “off the grid” with the water anyway!

Cable “doesn’t go that far. ”
DSL, therefore definitely “doesn’t go that far.” Are you kidding me? Dial up?!?! Say it isn’t so! That is so 1991.

You are “about twenty-five minutes” from everywhere.

You have more frogs, bugs, and algea than chlorine in your cheesy above ground pool. (definitely not a selling point for mom & dad!)

Did I mention there is no Internet out here?

You have one bar on your cell phone…if you’re lucky!

I’m pretty sure I mentioned we don’t have high speed Internet.

And finally, (drumroll please!) you are at least 10 minutes from “civilization”–AKA Wal-Mart! (thanks for the idea Jenny Long on my Facebook wall.)
