All those things you've mentioned wouldn't be living in my book, but torture, but then that's just me. I guess that is one of the benefits of having a small town mentality and preferences. It is easier to keep your lifestyle from being effected one way or the other. I still do whatever I want to do, I am just more thankful now that what I want to do doesn't ever include being in enormous gatherings of people or flying on airplanes.
