My neighbor is from Farmington and he actually told me he didnt believe I was a native Californian. He said " you'd fit right in back ther" I wondered what he meant by that for a long time. Finally his wife told me "your a friendly person, you wave and talk to everyone". Now I see.

My husband gets so upset. " WILL YOU STOP SMILING AND WAVING TO PEOPLE THERE GOING TO THINK YOU LIKE THEM!.":EEK:"

What a catastophe that would be! He's means well. You do have to watch yourself around people out here. You might get a stalker at your heels.

Anyway, I think they should change there state motto to " the open arms state" because thats the way they make a lot of us outsiders feel. Thats how they make me feel in this forum anyway. God bless em all.

Good Thoughts!

I am naturally friendly too, and it has gotten me into a couple of stalker situations. People take you wrong. And I don't think that's an "around here" thing...I think that's the way the world has gone.

California used to be just like here. Friendly, safe, wonderful.
It's changed.
I never thought I would leave.

And I've found different groups all over this state...mean groups and nice groups and artsy groups and simple folks. I think there's something kinda special happening on this forum...I've been on several others, too.

I'd like to have some kind of annual reunion of the Missouri forum...not sure where or when or how, but is there something...like the State Fair...that we could all meet up for?

Just thinkin.
Have a good afternoon...

Funny, before we actually moved here we used to drive to visit my hubbys folks almost every weekend or so. And on the way back to the BIG city, we would pass many a home near the road with the folks sitting on their porch. They would wave to us, in our Chevy truck. My Hubby would look at me and say 'Wave Back, now!' I'd just look at him and say 'But I don't know them!'

He again would say, wave anyway. So by the time I got my arm up in the air we would already be a mile down the highway.

I's ask him, 'Why should I wave to someone I don't know?' As always, my friendly, smiley, and happy sidekick would just say, 'Someday you might really meet them and it doesn't hurt to be friendly. That's all they were being'. So now, when I'm driving along, the poor out of staters get this 'in fashion' two finger wave off of the steering wheel. Wonder WHAT they think about that?

So, yes this is different here in my rural area than in the city that I call birthplace. Now don't get me wrong, we were friendly there, but in a different way. We knew just about everybody on our block and a few blocks 'over'. And on our long walks to school (no busses then and through rain, sleet snow, storms, Oh sorry). we knew the neighbors there also.

Friendly place we have here. Took me awhile, but I learned
