Yes we do have some things in common.
What is different is that you have children and I don't.
I do think that the culture has changed since the advent of the electronic age as people do much more online and with their cell phones and other gadgets whereas people used to see other people in person in the old days.
I lived in the Midwest a very long time ago, when I was from ages 5 to 12, but what I would not like is the weather because I do not like really hot or cold weather or snow. I would also not like people being more conservative as I am more liberal. Where we have many different kinds of people and not many religious people compared to the Midwest. I am not really that religious so that would be uncomfortable.
I don't like boring scenery, all flat and with not many trees, as in the Midwest. Washington has many trees of all kinds even in the fall and winter, and we have lakes and mountains and of course the ocean is not far away unless one lives in Central or Eastern Washington. Of course we have the long rainy season but I like rain, and I like the contrast between the rainy season and the dry season.
I also cannot drive for more than an hour without faling asleep. I much prefer the back-roads to the interstate or even two lane highways. I find the scenery and the little towns I go through on the back-roads much more interesting, and the traffic is much lighter. Anymore, I only go out of town when i am going to pick up a new cat.
I do not even do Zoom meetings with Baha'is. Once I called in for a Feast, but I only heard the voices. I do not like being seen on a computer screen or seeing others on one so i have this far avoided that even for work meetings by using my land line corded phone.
I do not know if I would want to attend Baha'i activities in person because it is not an option right now. This month the Baha'is are having a big outdoor picnic for a bunch of different Baha'i communities throughout the county but I don't think I will go because the unvaccinated have to wear a mask, and that way everyone knows their status. The whole Covid thing is so out of control, it is just easier to stay home with the animals.
It is really difficult to schedule an appt with a counselor in Kaiser because counselors are so much in demand, but the new counselor I got schedules ahead for several months so I was able to book appts every 3 weeks starting in September through November. I cannot get appts more frequently than that because I really don't have a serious psychological problems, only generalized anxiety over my sordid lifestyle!
