Reply #38: Yup...that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about...

...it wasn't "white flight" or elitism or any other of the negatives associated with moving out of the central city that brought me to the (gag) suburbs. It was the simple desire to have NObody interfering with how I conducted my own day to day Existence.

I can do laundry at midnight (and I DO!) if I feel like it...jump up and down on my own floors...and know that all the noise I make (or not) is my own.

That's it. Nothing else. I've got nobody under me, nobody over me, nobody to either side of me. If I want to crank up my stereo at 7:00 AM or 11:30 PM, that's my business, too.

On the down side...when my neighbor across the (very narrow) road starts up his power tools at 8:00 AM and I'm still in bed...ah well...nothing's perfect. :)
