Dear MM's Mom,
Nice to see you again.
Your farm sounds wonderful.
I forget what bawling cows sound like!

Dear Nikko,
Yes, we have a lease, but I think the issue is more me.
And I dream about living in the middle of no where but like the convenience of living near services.

Dear Befuddled2,
That is good that you live in a quiet place. No kids? Do people have pets?

Dear Bizi,
I think the closeness of apt and condo living brings the noise element. But then my sister lives on "quiet" cul de sac and still deals with such things as her neighbors' power tools and dogs.

Dear Waves,
My old apt 4 miles away was in the middle of a big intersection and across the street from a small airport. And on an ambulance route to a hospital a few blocks a way. But I guess that we were set back from the road enough. Here I am nearer the road. And people drive faster on this road.



I can rest easier knowing that quiet does exist and that you guys get to participate in it.

The noise sensitivity is fairly new. I have to think about what is going on. Do you know I can't see movies anymore because of the speakers in the theaters? I watch DVDs at home with the sound off and read the text at the bottom of the screen instead.
