Rural Confessions #1: Just Be A Dear and Read Me
- Do you have a relative on disability?
- Do you like country music but can’t afford a cowboy hat or a truck?
- Have you ever taken in a stray animal or a bum? Do they live in school bus behind your barn?
- Is napping your sport of choice?
- Have you ever put a trailer hitch on a lawnmower?
- Have you ever relied on books, bowels or solitary bingo as social companions?
- Have you wanted to call child protective services on your parents, but they threatened to kill you first?
- Is your idea of fun taking an extra dose of an antidepressant or a muscle relaxer?
- Have you ever picked up someone with a DUI to haul them to your Internet date?
Then this blog is for you! This blog is dedicated to anyone who breathes oxygen in the Stateline Area, basically most of the human race. Has finding a mate, operational vehicle, working plumbing, church, career success or even a shirt to wear eluded you? You’re not alone.
This blog is for “the rest of us.”You aren’t going to find any stories here about chamber awards, beauty pageants or family of the year honors here. This is about colorful characters we come across and junk. As the rest of the world is settled into their rat race, the rest of us rats are tending to our arching hips, or bailing a relative out of jail, or helping one fill out a disability application.
This blog is dedicated to real people and what they experience in life. Just as the best deals can be found in a junkyard, often the best lessons in life are found in the most bizarre of circumstances.
If you have a self-deprecating story, send it on in! Shameless confessions? We’ll take them. We’ll even be glad to share our own tales of self-discovery and deprecation along the way.
Some upcoming topics to come include: “Homeless Tow Truck Drivers and Blackberry Brandi,” and “Internet Dating and Bounty Hunters.”
Stay tuned for the next episode of rural confessions!
Hillary, can’t wait for your first post!
I’m intrigued by the “Internet Dating and Bounty Hunters.”
