Let's hear from youse!
Wishing you good luck selling the house. It's a terrible time to have a home on the market; I hope the right buyer turns up for you, and soon.
Small communities are notorious for being "in your business. Achange souns good. Good luck on selling your hous soon.

got stress much? sending good thoughts your way.
While you're still in the burbs, I've found the perfect tee shirt for you to wear around town, when talking with neighbors, and at small town functions.
Thanks for the good thoughts, and that T-shirt is just the thing!

We live in a small town too and John has been here all his life. That is one reason why he is always talking about moving. Everyone knows your business or family name.
I hope that ,when you are able to move, you find a place and people that are well suited to your new life!
By the way, I LOL'd at the whole cat lady scenario!! I had quite a visual going on in my head!! 
Truth is always stranger, and often funnier, than fiction!!
You just described every reason why I left the South. If you want privacy down there, the assumption is that you're either hiding something or you're mentally unstable (or both).
Good luck with the house and I hope you get to make the move soon. (I can't imagine moving during a Wisconsin winter.)
Hello,Mixter.From the outside,it almost seems like a sitcom...very funny.You should write more like this on your blog.
You express very well.The people you explain must be very frustrating to you...but...I found myself laughing(sorry,I know at your misfortune)at how crazy and/or sublime your small town and it's folks are.
Funny funny stuff(well it would be if it wasn't happening to you,but was on some freakin' Tv show).
I'll have some 'more',please.
I have an acre lot, in the city. The kids have a yard and I have my faceless anonymity. But I had even more anonymity when I lived 4 miles from the nearest town, and my kids could roam without scaring the piss out of me. I actually miss it.
I will always either live in the city or completely away from people. I will (as I told my wife before we ever got married) never do the in-between thing.
This is why I love living in the city. We know our neighbors, but pretty much everyone is oblivious to your trials and tribulations unless there's someone climbing in your window.
The story of the bf in the garage is just too much.
John Mellencamp wouldn't be too pleased about the disparaging comments towards small towns in this thread.
