City Slicker or Country Bumpkin???

11 years ago

I just took the quiz below and it says I am a country bumpkin. So I guess they are right. I've always lived in the country and I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.

How about you? Do you live in the city or country and which is your favorite place to live?

It said I was a city slicker but that's not true. I really am a country bumpkin that likes to do things in the city. I want to go home to the country to live. I don't thing it asked enough questions.

The quiz says I am a city slicker--which is probably accurate. I spent my first 46 years living in the DC suburbs (my last house in that area was in a subdivision of 45 homes on 5 acres); the last 18 years have been spent in the country, where our "yard" is more than 5 acres and our nearest neighbors are 1/2 mile away. I like the country better. However, when I get "old" (as if I'm not already), I'd like to be in a smaller house, with a smaller yard, and neighbors within hollering distance.

I consider myself a country bumpkin, too. I have lived in very rural areas Greenville and Presque Isle Maine) and I have lived in small cities (Peoria, IL and Lewiston, ME). I grew up in rural Maine where my dad owned a hardware store. At the time I was not impressed with the store but now I am grateful for all I learned from working there and my dad, who was an amazing man and could fix just about anything. I now live in a small town on the Kennebec River in Maine and own an old house and everday put the knowledge gleaned from my childhood to use in restoring and repairing my old house. Just today I cut some glass to size from the inventory in the barn to replace a window. My skill with glazing compound isn't pretty but it works! I love rural life but do enjoy a visit to the big city now and then -- great museums, exotic restaurants (i.e. ethnic cuisine) and the buzz of a city. That said, I'm quite content to watch the hummindbirds from the breakfast nook and lie in the hammock in the backyard and watch the bald eagles flying overhead. Mabel in Maine

I am doing one more trip monday! I have to have a royal velvet for myself after finding that they are rare. I can pick up some more bulbs but I am not looking for trades right now. You would have to pay for the bulb and shipping through paypal. Let me know by tommorow if you guys want some. I can only handle so many though...If I get a lot of interest I will have to close it..... I can do it for a few people. 1st come 1 st served...I can do it for three people...Not sure what they have left. 1st person picks from the bunch and so on and so on...Their prices you cant beat...Royal velevet is 7 dollars for it...Barb

Similar kinds of things I am aware of or involved with in Philadelphia, Cleveland, and locally where I live in the Lehigh Valley. For example, there's a group I know of where a woman is donating her large property for the youth group of her church to grow food to donate to the local food pantry and also the United Way there is attempting to coordinate home gardeners to be able to donate excess produce to the needy (the big issues with donations are always storage and distribution). Like I said in that other article that got pulled for whatever reason, where there's a will there's a way. It's great work to be involved with!

It says I'm a city slicker and that I like Malls!!! Hahahhaa......I abhor malls and shopping of any kind. Except grocery and kitcheny things. I love shopping for those.

I grew up in a small town, and came to where I live now (a smallish city) 18 years ago.

I am a Country Bumpkin. We came from CT & both of us hated living there. For the last 15 years we live in rural TN & love it. Our road is 10 miles long & there is 6 homes with 2 being just for weekend use. Love having cows for neighbors

It said I was a country bumpkin, and it is true...even tho I thought the quiz asked silly questions. I have lived in the country all of my life. I would be very unhappy if I had to live in town.
