      I’d be you sometimes if I wasn’t so busy being me. Sometimes it might be cool to be you and not me. Even something as benign as the way your mouth feels when closed,

      do your teeth line up better than mine? Or have you developed a weird way for your jaw to rest due to clipping teeth if you’re not careful.

      Anyways I think it’s my turn to report in on the huddle so bye

    Compared to them, I’m broke. My street has 1.8mil+ houses on it. We got a super good deal on this place, it’s getting leased to us at cost.

    We have to drive 10 minutes away to go grocery shopping. Not that there aren’t stores around here, but who wants to pay $8.39 for a box of organic hippy brand cereal?

    My neighbors come in two main flavors: they’re all either devoutly religious or think the moon is hollow. I’m just a regular atheist, guys, stop freaking out about fake shit!

    Most are retired or have young kids. I am mid-career with no kids.

    There are a lot of 1st - 3rd generation Indian and Pakistani Americans in the neighborhood. They are good at cricket and I am not, though that doesn’t stop me from joining in the occasional pickup game.

    I go running in boring sweats and tees. I haven’t invested in “athleisure” leggings and whatnot; I don’t think I standout as a particularly fit or fashionable person. Neighbors frequently comment on how much exercising I seem to do. Which once they pointed it out, I don’t ever notice any of my neighbors exercising outdoors like I do. Unsure if they exercise indoors, at some gym somewhere, or just don’t at all.

      or just don’t at all

      I would wager it’s this one. I found that folks who noticed my activity levels tended not to be active themselves so it stood out to them.

    I think we’re the only middle aged couple with no kids on this street and adjacent ones. Every couple I’ve seen even remotely near our age when we walk our dog either has children or a pram.

    Did try to make friends with some new neighbours a while back that were roughly our age. Very friendly first chat, they were both enthusiastic about greeting us - they approached us first.

    The first thing they asked was whether we had children, when we said no they were visibly disappointed and seemed to lack interest in furthering the conversation.
