I Cannot Imagine...

[fr0d0]

In Oregon, small towns are known for the meth problems. I grew up in a small town of 12,000 and we used to leave our back door unlocked as well as the church I went to. The church was burgaled and several computers were, um, "liberated." Henceforth, our family locked everything. After all, if God can't stop burglars from getting into his house, what chance do we have?

We have drugs and alcohol problems but nothing compared to big cities. Crime is very low. In the city I've been burgled a few times. I suppose it's being aware of your risks. There's a balance to be struck with maintaining your own personal freedom. People seem very hung up from what they see on the news. I don't usually follow the news, I have plenty going on in my own life thanks.

@Evie: To clarify: It's when I try to sleep that I find I've overdone itand then the thought loops kick in. I've always loved thinking about stuff. I don't get your 'switch' ...how you weren't like this and now you are?? I'm definitely an obsessive. I don't mind abandoning things. I don't mind losing focus on what's important sometimes too... the downsides.

@ Saerules: Well it doesn't matter the amount of sleep you get as long as you get enough, enough to be healthy for you.
