Another school year is over (+ thank God for the rains!)

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 27 May 24

We're spending the last week of May here in our provincial home before the movers come on June 1st to haul the big furniture and appliances and bring them to our city apartment. I'm getting less and less sentimental now. Thinking...

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 3 Apr 24

I've been so glued to my phone and tablet lately that I'd forgotten to take some notes in my planner. So, I made a cup of rice coffee and set aside some time this morning to jot down some thoughts and plans - at least for the...

Back from staycation

Macy @almostoveryou (4954) • Philippines 6 Apr 23

Our family spent 2 days in the metro proper for a short staycation. We booked a small condo unit in Pasig City and stayed there with our kids. I so enjoyed the pool as it's been really hot here the past few weeks. (The dry season...

My Friend Doesn’t Understand

Richard L. Meister Jr. @RichardMeister (5328) • Otis Orchards, Washington 1 Jul 16

I have a friend who lives in the country (a rural area). Every once in awhile he’ll ask me about something like having a car than doesn’t run parked in my driveway. I have to explain that is against the rules where I live. Since...

Do you long for city or country living?

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 25 Apr 11

I long for more quiet and think my ideal is living on at least an acre of land with evergreens and a lake and fairly isolated from neighbors. I want to be somewhat close (within about 30 minutes) to some fairly large city for...

alextub @alextub (14) • New Zealand 19 Sep 10

Just sitting here in rural New Zealand surrounded by green grass and trees I was wondering what it would be like to live above a city in an apartment. Do any of you live say above the 6th or 7th floors in an apartment building? I...

Are you a country or city person?

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 21 Apr 07

I am definitely a city person. Montreal is a city of three million people and I have lived in the city all my life. I wouldn't want to be in a bigger city because I don't like all the congestion, I think Montreal is big...

Where would you prefer to live?

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 9 Apr 07

I think it's the human condition that maybe we're never happy where we are...If you live in or near a large major city like I do you yearn perhaps to live in the country--I know I do..If you live in the country..you yearn perhaps...

Do you live in the country, city, or somewhere in between?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 7 Apr 07

I live in the country, though I am near city life, about 12 miles away. I've lived in my current home for over 11 years and my only real complaints are that the street I live next to is a two lane road that serves as a mini...

Why do some neighbors not understand how to be a "good" neighbor?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 26 Mar 07

I don't expect a lot from people and I'm a pretty "stay to yourself" person. This being said I live in a neighborhood that is fairly quiet, very middle class, family oriented but not filled with tons of kids, etc. It's truly an...

Is clean air important to you?

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 14 Jan 07

I found a list of the top 25 cities in the US with the cleanest air...the best air quality index. My city was number 21, which I thought was not too bad! I was surprised to see several California cities on the list also. I thought...
