I posted this in the Teach USA thread, but I think it's relevant for those wondering how suburbia can look like heaven but feel like hell.

I ain't never livin' in Plano.

At 4,000 square feet, this store claims to be the largest in the SanFran Valley:

You're definitely going to need something for that embarrassing incontinence before they allow you into Once Upon A Page.

Well I live in CA and Woodsy, if it makes you feel any better, I found the whole thing very odd. My 'playgroup' involved Prada, Gucci and 'Oh have you tasted the blah blah wine from blah blah vineyard and did you try the lasted ridiculoulsy expensive spa yet?'
Did I try and fit in? Did I heck, I am still 20lb overweight, my nails are still crap, my hair still needs cutting, my clothes are from Target and I can't tell where my pubes stop and my leg hair begins but I am as happpy as a pig in shit!!!

Hey you couldn't have lived far from where I grew up. Well for my teens at least. I lived in Slaithwaite - well the very top of Slaithwaite, at Cop Hill right next to the Rose and Crown pub. Not at all far from Scapegoat Hill if I remember correctly.

woodsey

oh my god, small world, yeah its about a mile away, was born in Holmfirth but lived in Golcar most of my life, moved up the road to Scapegoat Hill for the last couple of years before we came here, loved it, the view was incredible..theres a picture in the photopost if you fancy a look, strangely enough I worked at the Rose and Crown Pub for a while and used to spend most Fridays in their drinking illegally Used to go in the Silent Women as well, hope you don't know any of the people I know

snorkmaiden

Holy crap - I think there is a really high chance we know eachother. I practically lived in the Silent Woman and I worked at the Rose also. Well, I worked as a waitress there when I was teenager for several of the landlords. Nick and Jeb mainly but a few others. That was a really long time ago though. I left Hudds about fifteen years ago. Did you go to Colne Valley?

I am proud to say this was the first establishment to ever bar me

snorkmaiden

Wow, what did you do to deserve that. Keith was the landlord when I was going there but he retired not long after I left.

My friend Michaela managed to get barred from the Shoulder of Mutton just down the road there in the mid 80's. That was quite an achievment as she was only 15 at the time and shouldn't really have been in there anyway

woodsey

Do you know Ronnie (Richard Thornton) I used to hang about with Lisa Taylor, her parents were the landlords at the Silent Woman...

Eskimo

Remember all the hunt supporters used to go in there - well we had a diffrence of opinion on blood sports

Woodsey is now trying to guess who you are as I think your the same age 33 ish

snorkmaiden

I do know a Ronnie - how old is he? The one I know was maybe a couple of years older than me and I'm 34. There are so many Thorntons in Slaithwaite I don't remember Lisa Taylor but I am really crap at remembering people from back then.
