Greetings to all! I'm a widow who lives so far out in rural Idaho that they don't even deliver mail here. I'm seeking others to chat that are more like me than the locals. The day I moved here in 2015, two neighbors brought a cake and asked if I was a member of the LDS church. When I said that I was not there was a long silence after which one said "Well....I guess we could still be friends."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Wow! Sorry about those church ladies. I live in a small rural town in Illinois, but not as isolated as it sounds like you are, which must be a challenge. Still, this is a very conservative and fundamentalist area, and it would be even worse if not for nearby universities.

Haha! The nearby university here is BYU Rexburg! That's not helpful at all, lol!
But did you eat the cake?

Tried, it was nasty!
There are some things I love about living in the boonies.. like I go down and catch a steelhead about 100 yards from my house.. but on the otherhand yeah.. gotta drive 16 miles for mail.. no cell phone and no power. Thankfully there are not a lot of religious fish or elk around so it's not a big deal. but man I get so tired of winter and dealing with having to go so far just for gasoline. But then this time of year it's so worth it.. boonies.. it's a love hate thing

Eagle is 336 miles west of Chester. Chester is about 72 miles west of Yellowstone National Park.
Im in rural IA, I do get mail service but I also quite alone as I am surrounded by Christians, the fundamentalist types!

l'm in Ia too, looking forward to seeing it in my rear view mirror, had enough snow and cold to last a lifetime.
poor baby they sure don't use those supposed values on us heathens
@whiskywoman You are dead on right there!
I can certainly relate.
Let's chat then. Spent 5 years in Idaho. Now live in rural Texas, so perhaps we have something in common. Hit me up if you wish. I won't be a pest.

What part of Idaho? Where do you live in TX?
Maybe they meant LSD church. I'd suggest that you clarify next time.

LSD church sounds way more fun. Saying that I've never taken LSD and never will but still seems a better option.
Haha! They sure didn't look like the type to even know what LSD was!

Posted by Ray13I just joined this group, thought it would be best one to post something like this: Thought this might interest some of my fellow agnostics - I just donated my 160th pint (total 20 gallons) of blood...

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
