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

Pleassssse ban fireworks in Shimmerzville! And loud parties that have deafening music. (The "neighbors" a half mile away on the other side of the cornfield had a party last weekend. The bass was INSANE! I think one of my other neighbors called the cops cuz what party ends at 10pm? LOL)

It would be awesome if it was a sleepy little town with homes on lots that were a bit distant from one another. Maybe have a commercial center of town with houses on the outskirts? That way, more privacy!
 
We'd get a lot of shit done. Then retire to special architecturally designed cave structures with sensors that could read dangerous mojo within 20 feet of the cave. Others would have houses high in trees.

And we'd each have weird things like singing bowls and incense because the shops in town only sell this kind of thing. Well, there's the store that sells essential oils. And of course a liquor store...all bottom shelf vodka is okay. But also a great treatment facility. ...we need one of those.

And therapists: body psych, SE, cognitive, EMDR, sensory motor...everything
A "gym" full of yoga, Pilates, t'ai chi, qi gong, martial arts

A huge library. Lots of books. All the best research. We'd have book clubs to discuss Polyvagal Theory. Or the less mentally-involved early trauma types will be guiding meditations. All kinds of meditations.

And things to break...like the local garbage...break it down, sell the raw materials.

Smaller people can live in shells, in caves. When they come out, they can morph into crabs, playing very small violins. Yes, we are a beach town and ther is always music. And everyone is enjoying it, while trying not to start a fire as they are chain-smoking on ambien.

A community-hosted art or music festival so we could all challenge ourselves to get out of our caves, create and tolerate a few good feelings.

We'd all fit into our roles easily. I don't want competition or even connection, but I help others solve problems in philosophical ways. I also tend to see gaps within the whole picture, so I would be looking for those....like oh yea....we need to buy a ballet company. We'll house them above the liquor shop.

We will trade benzos for eggs. Singing bowls for weed. Etc...we don't need a currency.
 
And I would be in her kitchen and I trigger would hit me and I would fall.on.the.floor. Smash. No warning

:clown: You would have to bring a choice of table cloth, otherwise you would be garbed in mine as I set dinner on your arsh. Good looking kitchen tables are hard to find. We might make it the coolest fad in -

"Shimmerzville"???????

and could take bets on whose kitchen you would be at on a calendar money pool.
 
Hmm. I have no clue what that would look like.
Hilarious probably. Off the top of my head:
- Half the houses would be bubble wrapped, for safety.
- Lots of friendly dogs no one's allowed to touch because they would all be service animals.
- No fireworks ever.
- 15MPH speed limit everywhere.
- More therapists offices than Starbucks.
-Marriage counseling would be the second largest industry, with drive through pharmaceuticals coming close third.
- Road works, roofing and any other occupation that involves sudden banging noises will be outlawed. (Enforced by the army vets, dressed as hedgerows, practicing their cover & concealment training.)
- Would be the only place on earth where seeing me running about the yard during a hailstorm, wearing my mish-mash combo of flak-jacket and helmet, trying to save my plants wouldn't look all that weird.

All I know is, I'd live there.
 
Cough, well, I wouldn't know, I'd be busy moving to another town (it's not you guys, I just don't want to know a lot of things about my neighbors, prefer it if we're anonymous and polite strangers to each other, and can happily isolate like... 365 days a year, that one day in four years exception for socialization is doable.)

But cheers, I'm happy for happy communities. ;)
