A loner's paradise

Found this place at the end of a dead end road - just got the keys for it 3 days ago!

2. That wouldn't appeal to me because I'm a city person. I've always been a city person and I suppose I'll die a city person.
 
You can be just as alone in a big city, maybe moreso. All you have to do is close the door.

4. You're right - definitely would not be for a city person.

I like space, fresh air, momma nature, etc.

So does my body - shoveling snow, dealing with gathering wood and water has kept me healthier than if I'd just been sitting in an apartment.
 
I'm a nature nut.

3. That's my kind of place.

I live next to miles of public land, have 6 acres of my own at the end of a private dirt road, and the next-door-neighbor still irritates me. Not quiet.
 
My dream house would be in the very center of a square mile of my own, surrounded by many more miles of public land on all sides. Inaccessible, out of sight, out of hearing distance.

5. Only got one neighbour within a mile.

I have not met him yet, but am told he is in his 70's, single and reclusive.

works for me!

<<<lives way out in the middle of nowhere, but might as well live in Grand Central Station.

Same thing.

Sam has been in the computer business for 25 years and is finally sick of the stress. He quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alabama to be as far away from humanity as possible.

Sam sees the mailman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise, it's total peace and quiet.

After 6 months or so of almost total isolation, he's finishing dinner one day when someone knocks on his door. He opens it and there is a big, bearded man standing there. "Name's Enoch... Your neighbor from four miles over the ridge... Having a party Saturday... Thought you'd like to come."

"Great," says Sam, "after 6 months of this I'm ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."

As Enoch is leaving he stops, "Gotta warn you there's gonna be some drinking." "Not a problem... After 25 years in the computer business, I can drink with the best of 'em."

Again, as he starts to leave, Enoch stops. "More 'n' likely gonna be some fightin' too." Damn, Sam thinks... Tough crowd. "Well, I get along with people. I'll be there. Thanks again."

Once again Enoch turns from the door. "I've seen some wild sex at these parties, too." "Now that's not a problem," says Sam, "Remember I've been alone for 6 months! I'll definitely be there... By the way, what should I wear?"

Enoch stops in the door again and says, "Whatever you want, just gonna be the two of us."

Keep telling yourself that.

Keep telling yourself that.  

I don't understand Ugly's statement.

After losing her license--for life--to practice in registered nursing, in disgrace and humiliation she moved from Boston to remote New Mexico.

In fact, she lives near the "four corners," where New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado meet.

I've never been there, but I don't imagine there's a whole lot of people around.

I know, that's a great, classic joke.   

I don't know what Warpy's point was, butting in like that.  A guy buys some property, it's good news for him.  She has to piss in his cornflakes and say "not my cup of tea" or somesuch.  I think it's rude.  Why not just say congrats and be gracious about it?
