  1. thats too scary. i prefer to live in the country. ive been to New York only 1 time and it was fun for the first couple of days. after 2 or 3 days, i started feeling smothered, i felt like i couldn’t breathe. no trees, no peace, no quiet, all chaos.

    1. NEARLY EVERYONE FEELS THE SAME WAY. IT TOOK MY DAUGHT 5 HOURS BEFORE SHE FELT THAT WAY AND SON IS STILL THERE, TO PROVE HE CAN MAKE IT. NYC IS NOT FUN.

  2. I usually make fun of people in movies NOT running at full speed from a disaster. And I will make fun of real people here.
