To answer the latter half of your question, no, people will not think you’re cool for doing this. Some will be majorly put off by it. Some miiight not be entirely too cringed out by it, but they still won’t think you’re cool just cuz of this. Your best bet is to be yourself and find the people who think that’s cool, whether that includes talking oldtimey or not.

How old oldtimey are we talking btw? Just out of curiosity lol

What does it mean “we discovered by coincidence from someone we needed 30k”? And who deposited the $32k? I’m confused by the story but certainly agree God may be found anywhere.

Old evidence does, too

As a fellow itchy person, of course! Happy to help!

This is going to sound unhelpful, but the trick is just don’t itch. You have to rewire the part of your brain saying that scratching is how you make it itch less, and convince yourself that it’s the opposite–noticing the itch and not touching it is how you’ll make it go away. It’s a bit like getting into an ice cold pool, feeling all your muscles tense up and your breathing gets tight, and telling yourself that staying in is how you’ll get used to it. Fake it til you make it, then your brain will start to believe you.

No, you’re right, and your husband is romanticizing the countryside. You’d be significantly better off looking in places like Virginia, where you can find ranch properties and feel like you’re well out into the country while still being ~30 minutes from a Richmond-sized city.

What does “if he wanted to be would” mean here? Would what?
