That’s too damn small. 10,000 - 50,000 is the optimal size of a place to live. Edited April 11, 2021 by Outpost31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel claustrophobic when watching movies that have establishing shots of big cities like NY or wherever. I would literally have a panic attack if I ever went to a city with a population over a million. There’s lots of things to do in big cities. Concerts, bars, museums, restaurants etc. Not to mention way more options to get groceries and stuff. In a small town or city your limited to all of that. I personally never really get the appeal of NYC as well. It makes me feel claustrophobic and everything looks so cramped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have "Concerts, bars, museums, restaurants etc." And anytime we go to that type deal. Will know numerous people while there. Groceries? A city might have more options. But ours is far superior in quality. Within 5 air miles of me alone. There are numerous fishermen, 2 beef farms, dairy farm, few veggie stands, 2 Amish markets and 3 wineries. And what you named to do is all indoor. If I want to go sailing, jetski, water skiing, maybe mudbogging, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding or hit the beach. I just step outside and do it. It surrounds me. Edited April 12, 2021 by PARROTHEAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 30s aren't bad. 31 and honestly they're off to a far better start than my 20s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scar988 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 My dad passed this morning. He's not in pain anymore. Is it bad that I feel like I should have some friends over to drink and hang out with this weekend just so that I can process this better? Like how does one truly ever handle grief? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry for your loss. There’s nothing wrong with hanging out with your friends and drinking to process it. There’s not an easy answer to your last question. Over the years after my brother died, I ranged from antisocial behavior to heavy drinking/partying. The things that really helped me move forward were going for long walks to think, talking to friends who could relate, and figuring out my own spirituality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did something like that a bit after my dad passed. People process things differently, however you choose to process is on you and not up for judgement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People process grief differently, if you feel having a small gathering and having a couple (or more) beers is going to help you - do it. When my friend passed away last year, she had a small viewing but then everyone gathered at her favorite bar afterward and we all basically cried together, ate oysters and drank Miller Lite. It's what she would have wanted. Honestly, it helped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
