Funny conversation with a "city slicker"...

[the funny farm6615]

i am in iowa and we just had a guy from atlanta georga buy 10 acers across the road from us, he told us he was going to put a moble home on the property. 2 weeks later the home showed up, he was going to put it @150 feet off the road and we have had major flooding in this area, there was only a dirt path and well the home sat @ 25 feet off the road for 3 weeks till it was dry enuff to put it where he wanted it. when i asked/told him he better get some gravel he asked if 2 five gal. buckets wold be enuff?

then he didnt know how to get his water hooked up. so i asked if he called the water company, and he asked why, and i told him that he would have to have the water co. come and put in a meter and run the line back to the house. he said "really?" !

then he was afrade of my gp and i told him she is really friendly, and that she is over there all the time becouse she chases the cyoteys away and he was very scared and asked if they would attack him or his wife. then i showed him pics of the wolf and mountin lion that were in the field where he put his house

then he told me that he wanted to get a horse. i asked if he was going to get one that was already broke? he said "what does that mean?"

what do you say?????

yesterday at @ 8pm the new neighbor got stuck in his drive and instead of asking us with a trackter and 4 wheel drive truck to get him out, he called triple A to come get him out.

I dare say, he probably didn't know you could pull a vehicle out with a tractor.

In fact, he probably doesn't even know you got a tractor.

I predict that he'll soon tire of our hectic country pace, don'tcha think?
Really, you learn to wave at your neighbors driving by, saying "hello", offering assitance when you see it, and accepting assistance when it's offered, and being helpful without being nosey. It can be very stressful to a city slicker.

Really? lol I never knew that. I'm not a cityslicker, but I'm afraid I'm quite naive in the barnyard world

Well I'm glad I read your post before I posted a question about that

he already told me his wife was getting sick of washing her car every mourning before work, you have to drive on 8 miles of gravel before you get to my house.

and he does know about the tractor, i pull hayracks by him all the time. and i would have offered to pull him out but i didnt know he was stuck till the wrecker showed up.

Oh my, they will tire of the country life very soon. I'm surprised that they were allowed to put a mobile home in a flood plain? I live near the flood plain in a 130 year old house and just built a garage, outside of the flood plain and had to go through all sorts of red tape and FEMA certifications and such.

I predict that the first flood scares them out of there. Why would anyone wait for a flooded area to dry up before putting their house on it? I mean does he think its never ever going to flood again?

Did they ever get the water hooked up? I guess so if she's washing her car!

I wonder what they're planning on feeding that horse? Gummi bears and Doritos??

My parents had a neighbor who lived up on a ridge with his sister. They are both retired. Behind this ridge there is a large farm. The fields back up to their property. The sister wouldn't come out of the house unless her brother checked for wildlife first. She saw a deer in the field once and was afraid if she came out it would charge her. She was also afraid of squirrels (I am too, but only one in particular) and the ring necked pheasant that crossed the backyard.
They no longer live there. They didn't last a year.
