73. I haven't socialized in the home of ANYONE

Mon May 21, 2018, 08:26 AM

May 2018

of any race in years.

Iowa is a weird place, at least the little town we live in.

No one invites anyone they aren't related to into their homes.

It has been 16 years since we were invited to anyone's house or anyone has accepted an invitation to our home.

I hate this state and this town.

Kind of depends on your definition of socialize and race rurallib May 2018 #15

Agreed. I guess I need a list of races dumbcat May 2018 #19

If you don't know what I mean by race, just apply whatever definition you usually apply EffieBlack May 2018 #21
