If We All Lived In The Same Town....

And those who are found to be insensitive and incompetent could be hung in the village square. Just as a warning - the best only allowed in Shimmerzville

LMAO. :hilarious: We'll sell buttons... "I Surived Shimmerzville, PhD"

We should have community gardens, at least two--one where you can garden together and one where it's one at a time. They'll have therapeutic purposes. We'll have a green house with aromatic plants you can pick for sensory stimulation purposes.

We'll have the most amazing sleep clinic ever. We'll raise money by charging pre-screened and voted-upon researchers to be able to come in and run studies.

We'll prove to the world PTSD sufferers aren't any more dangerous than the "normal" people who put us in Shimmmerzville to begin with, because we'll have tons of weapons and never hurt anyone.

I'm not worried about the "traumatized parent" thing or "raising the next generation." All of the kids will be well-attached and have great boundaries. "Is that dog working?" They'll ask. They'll say, "I want a hug. Can I touch your body?" They'll say, "I like you, but I'm not in the mood to talk today. Bye, neighbor!"

We can have outsiders (non-sufferers) who date us. They'll need temp visas. They can stay at the B&B on the noisy side of town. Maybe @Mr Laurie will volunteer to run that hostel.

@digger is right, @shimmerz. Let's just throw them into a sensory deprivation chamber for 12 hours and then boot them out.

I feel like we should double this amount, don't you?

You're probably right on that. ;) Though if we budget $900,000 for bad decisions, we'll definitely spend more like $120,000. Maybe cushion all parts of the budget for those days!

I would LOVE that town!! PTSD is so alienating.

Oh come on, visa issuing and waiting times are a pain in the you know. <contemplative>

Steven King could get a ton of inspiration from such a place. It's not quirky people I mind. I'm quite interested in quirkiness. It's all the fragranced self soothing paraphanelia that I'd be running from. Can we have a town ordinance that addresses pollution please? Solar panels (so quiet) vs windmills (so loud). Recycle everything. Non GMO crops in our organic farms. Cisterns for rainwater. Zip around town in golf carts and power our boats with battery powered motors. I volunteer for raising our plants from seed. And my greenhouses would have snakes and all would be welcome to hang out in the warmth on a cold winter day. Ummmm I am available for growing our medicinal marijuana. Been there, done that!! Bonsai pot plants. Sign me up!

Zip around town in golf carts

How about pony carts??? They can provide you with organic fertilizer.:)

 

[Kintsugi]

Pony carts, a trolley, and bicycles for all.

My T once asked me what I thought "safe" was. I had no idea what he meant. So he asked about a time or a place where I felt completely "safe". Didn't have an answer. If he asks again, I wonder how he'd react if I said "Shimmerzville"!

 

[Ronin]

@scout86, it's super concrete and isn't anything with blue variants even, a lot of progress is being made.
Y'all I'm keeping the clean paper plates if you're just putting it away and it's area limited. Doodles to be done.

How will we cut the lawn?

My grandmother would always have mow her lawn with an old motor-less push mower, the turning of the wheels spun the cutting blades, and they make very little noise.

I hate the sounds guns make, so let's install a giant indoor firing range for those who like shooting

or perhaps ban gunpowder and use air rifles.

Somewhere with access to both water and mountains would be nice

Make sure the mountains are tall enough that they are snow capped all year round. this way I can run up there every day and bring a truck load of snow home with me and build a new snowman on my front lawn while everyone was a sleep at night (Ha ha ha ha, "everyone asleep at night" ha ha ha... I was being funny:D).

Getting a bit extreme, but O.K.

We should have community gardens

Can we fertilize them with the dead doctors?

We'll prove to the world PTSD sufferers aren't any more dangerous than the "normal" people

Does this mean "NO!" to the dead doc fertilizer? You know, if we don't tell them where it comes from, the "normals" will never know.
