there must be people here who live in the city and some others who live in the country!

Answer 1

I have lived in the country all of my life. I am only 30 years old, yet can remember not having electricity or running water when I was little. It was inconvenient, but also instilled in me a great love of reading and imagination. I am lucky enough, now, to own three horses and have the fields for them to run and play. I have three dogs that don't have to be penned in all the time.  My children have the freedom to play outside with out me worrying if they are going to get snagged by somebody.  It is quiet and at night during the summer I can hear the frogs chirping in the pond across the road and the stars are so bright.  We have a wonderful school system, ranked one of the best in the state.  My husband and I and now our children attend it. Yes, we do have issues with communication.  We can only get dial-up internet and the phone lines can be a bit spotty as well. Our cell signal tends to fluctuate quite a bit too. To me it is worth it. It keeps the big bad world from clouding up my little piece of mind. I don't really know anything about living in a city, other than I don't think I would want to. Hope this give you a little country insight.
