- Most of the time, I like living in the middle of nowhere.
- However, just recently it's been getting on my nerves.
-
- I am delighted that my relatives want to give me china, silver, and
- crystal for my upcoming wedding. Of course, they want to know which
- *patterns* of these things to give us. This would normally be fun.
- Unfortunately, I live in the Middle of Nowhere. There is exactly one
- store in this area which sells china, crystal, and silver. While
- they carry almost all of the brands I am interested in, they do not
- actually have all of the patterns in the store. Furthermore, they do
- not have *pictures* of the patterns, either. Not only that, but the
- manufacturer of the silver that I think I want can't provide me with
- a picture, or the name of a store that would have the pattern anywhere --
- they don't know which stores might have it.
-
- !Peeve: My wedding is only 4 months and 8 days away.
