We've been living the "back to nature, live off the land, etc., etc." Ok it was fun, but now I'm getting old--54--I work all day and really don't want to come home and chuck wood in the stove, gather eggs, feed the moo cows and all that stuff that we do!! Our kids think we're totally wacko and I'm beginning to agree!! Ok maybe I'm just cranky cause it's 10 below out. But there are days I think--"Dam, this is what my grandparents worked so hard for to QUIT doing!!" I've found myself more and more wanting to leave this cabin, land and critters and go to that condo in town!! So is it just the weather and I'll be better come spring?? Is this literally "cabin fever"?

Hubby loves it all and lives to chop wood on the weekends!! He can't wait to retire and chop more wood--I'm thinking a week on a beach or a week anywhere else but here!!

No Bigfish person--we are old hippies, we live in a cabin in the country, raise chickens and a milk cow and heat with wood. I bake bread, "put up" food, etc. Don't know what to tell you!!

You know, in my humble opinion, when we get older we just don't want to have to work THAT hard! Girl, move to the condo in town and take a rest! Rent out the cabin to some young hippies and if you miss it sssoooooo much, then go on back to it and do it! It sounds like it's time for you to have a blast and watch some young folk work hard!

Most of us came in from the cold a couple of decades ago. It's still a mess and worse. Better to stay in the sticks and contemplate serenity and loveliness and kindness. Then go to your computer and blog the sh it out of bureaucrats, the greedy, the power hungry and most young people who are so blind, unread and addicted that the invasion has begun and they don't even know it.

I can't believe you're still living like that. No one else is. Everyone one else gave everything up except the smoking dope. And are making big money not ty dyed t-shirts.

This question is BOGUS. You are making fun of hippies and you want others to do the same.
