These are just too funny, but so true, lol. You know youre in a small town when the store owner is friends with the banker who is friends with the only mechanic in town who is your son's teacher's husband who also does mobile auto repairs on weekends out of his 1978 Chevy pickup...
You know you live in a small town when town folk flip you the bird because your 21 year old son, who moved away from home a year ago gets in trouble with the law.....this recently happened to my neighbor.
Remember it? Up until we moved into our condo, that's how we cut our grass in Chicago! We're planning to move soon, and I intend to get another one!
I didn't realize they still SOLD those though. I remember it when I was much younger, then we went to the gas model, and I never saw the "nutbuster" again.

LOL! Yes, they still make them, and they're sooooo much easier to use. I had one of the old ones and used to cut my Chicago lawn with it. I'm getting a new one next time!

I found that we sell them...one was around $130 and the other was less than $90. Depending on the size of the cut.
You know you live in a small town when you go to the local high school baseball game and you sit on the opposing teams side and nobody gives you a hard time about it, because they know that even though you have lived here for 30 years, you are on that side because you have a nephew playing on the opposing team. And they are OK with that.
You know you're in a small town when two people at two different supermarket checkout lanes want you to go in front of them because you have only two items.
You know you're in a small town when two little kids on bicycles pull over to let you drive thru and, as you drive by, they apologize for hogging the road for, oh, about 5 seconds.
Both of these happened to me today, in two different towns in rural IL.

How true. We went to the "BIG CITY" this afternoon, about 20 miles away, population about 17,000. In the one store there was only one checkout lane open and there were about 6 or 7 people in line. The lady ahead of me had a whole cartload of stuff and I had ONE item. Do you think she offered to let me go ahead? No Way. Oh how I missed home at that time.
When there are more people checking people out then there are customers. When you moved to a rural town a year ago and already know all the people at the post office by first names and they know you too. When many people in town know you've been gone on vacation and welcome you back after only a five day vacation! When yoiur neighbor is building a new barn and has more people offering to help out for free then he knows what to do with. When another neighbore drives by on his ATV asking if you've seen his horses!! All true and happened in the last week here where I live. It's so nice to come home here after visiting in Burbank, CA.!!!
