But I am sorry that you had so many problems!<br /><br />It is funny that your hometown is the 4th largest city in Ohio but not really a city! At least you have something your city is famous here. My hometowns are not famous for anything! :)Katrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200118828260732172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976575256558816155.post-24363699769855589682012-11-28T14:20:48.805-05:002012-11-28T14:20:48.805-05:00Your German hometown sounds a lot like the island ...Your German hometown sounds a lot like the island I grew up on... particularly the talking part.

A little town thats friendly, sometimes a little too friendly & the bar keep killed himself...nuts. Also, very interesting.<br /><br />As for you new hometown, have you ever seen the movie HouseSitter with Goldie Hawn & Steve Martin? Well if you havent, go rent it cause your description of the town totally reminds me of the one in the movie. Also, I hope for the sake of your eyeballs that your shirtless neighbor has a nice bod :/Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180987728892745670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976575256558816155.post-69316669437454165962012-11-27T08:57:40.041-05:002012-11-27T08:57:40.041-05:00I had to download Google Chrome for my new laptop ...I had to download Google Chrome for my new laptop just so I could comment on your blog (apparently Safari doesn't like Blogger any better than Firefox did). It had the added benefit that it synced when I logged in and now I don't have to transfer all my bookmarks lol but it was because I couldn't comment here that I thought of it.<br /><br />Anyhoo, it was interesting to hear about both of your home towns. If you ask my husband my home town isn't a real 'city' even though it's actually the 4th largest city in Ohio. Most people don't recognize it unless they're from Ohio or MIchigan, and even then it's usually only after I say it's close-ish to Detroit. Those who do know it probably know it most for the glass industry (hence 'the glass city'), the zoo, the art museum, The Mudhens and/or Tony Packos.

My Argentine home town is really small, too, and there's always a lot of gossip and such ... In Argentina there's a saying to describe that that goes something like "Small town, huge hell", haha. I'm not sure people use it in English.<br /><br />On the other hand, it's wonderful to know that in the unfortunate event that something wrong happens, your neighbors will be there to help ;).Mikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143809461043872782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976575256558816155.post-91599165609769264942012-11-24T15:39:50.206-05:002012-11-24T15:39:50.206-05:00I love this!
