Would you want to live on an island?

[DubiousIntentions]

How about this one in ForthBridge, Scotland? Not bad if you can avoid the base jumpers landing in your yard.

Well, if the island is shaped like a pair of luscious lady lumps, count me in! I can only imagine the paradise that would exist on such a heavenly bosom of land. The rolling hills would be like sensual slopes of sexy seduction, leading me to endless hours of titillating exploration. And the beaches... oh, the beaches would be like silky smooth spheres of seduction, inviting me to frolic in the warm, inviting waters. Of course, I'd have to be careful of any base jumpers that might be diving into my private paradise, but I suppose that's a small price to pay for the ultimate boob island experience. Who needs the mainland when you can spend your days surrounded by the alluring assets of amorous affliction? I'm ready to pack my bags and make my boob island dreams a reality.

[DubiousIntentions]

You must not had any in awhile. 🤔🤔😯

[Sixgunsound]

I'm not sure what a base jumper is, but trespassers will be given one chance to leave, then asked what level of persuasion they require to get out. We can go from verbal to bare hands to rocks to knives to swords baseball bat to axe to A LOT of exciting speeds and flavors of hot lead. If I'm spending the kind of money living on a private island would require, Gtfo!

Thanks for MHO

The only Island I would consider is Catalina Island off the California coast. You can see it on a clear day from the Huntington Beach pier.

Avalon - Catalina Island

Actually I think Catalina would be pretty boring most of the time. A lot of fog, and there isn't much to do off the water. A lot of the area right around Avalon is private and so hiking is restricted. You can go to the west end of the island for more open hiking but still, unless you're big into snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking etc. I think it would be pretty slow. Though not compared to some of the other islands mentioned.

I lived on Oahu for several months and it always felt weird that I couldn't drive more than 20 miles in any direction.

[Daniela1982]

@zagor Any island has limits.

[CrimsonAngel09]

If there aren't any people, sure.

People suck.

[exitseven]

No, I have a vacation house on an island. It is nice to spend a vacation there but most people that try to retire there end up going crazy or becoming alcoholics after a couple of winters.

[DubiousIntentions]

That's not good. Now you know why all lighthouses went automated.

[exitseven]

yes, it would be good for somebody who hates people but otherwise it is a tough gig.

[WalnutButter]

I was chatting with a really smart engineer who was getting close to retirement. He bought a cabin that was 8 hours North of Fairbanks, and you could only get there by snowmobile. He knew how to harness the sun, wind and the stream in his backyard. That would provide the meager amount of electricity it would take to power his 12 volt cabin. He was going to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and would hunt and fish for the rest. I glanced over at his wife and made eye contact. I’m not a telepath, but I think I was for that moment. Lol That poor lady!

But on the plus side, he said they see reindeer every Christmas.

[DubiousIntentions]

@WalnutButter What good are reindeer without Santa?

[WalnutButter]

They taste like chicken.

@WalnutButter these days life expectancies are pretty long. and you could be retired for 30 years or more.
I had a friend that owned some acreage in northern maine. He lived in a trailer. He did not have electricity or plumbing. I went to visit him during a very confusing time in my life. I thought that maybe I would stay there for a while. I think after 4 or 5 days I was ready to go back to civilization.

[WalnutButter]

I'm trying to stick to a certain diet, and the guy says you can live to be 150. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. The part that sucks is that you have to give up gluten. Your friend lived a tough lifestyle, but maybe that worked for him. I told a story on here about how dumb it was for my boyfriend and I to rent a motor home for a vacation. I will never forget looking out of the window and watching people pitch tens, make fires and cook over the fire. It was the ultimate paradox. They were having fun, and I had a microwave oven.

@WalnutButter I worked with a woman whose father lived to be 104. years old. She said God did him no favors.

[WalnutButter]

I agree with Kenny Rogers. I just want to die in my sleep.

[exitseven]

@WalnutButter yikes, I always thought going down in a hail of bullets would be cool stud way to go.

Where is your vacation house?

I’ll charter a boat if you want to go on a three hour tour & live on a beautiful island.

[DubiousIntentions]

I know, with Ginger and Maryanne.

[OfMiceandMen]

Absolutely, I would be okay without the bridge. A ferry would be cool. I don't need the big city life to be happy, can make my own fun.

I find you can do more that what the big city offers if you have water around you.

[ManOnFire]

I would love to live on an island. In fact there is one in my state I'm crazy about, the only problem is that there aren't many jobs there but it really is a special place.

[nolabels]

That would definitely depend on the island.

Tropical, providing that which I needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle, sign me up! 👍😊

[BeMuse]

I guess it all depends on how big the island is... Technically the American continents are a really big island.

[Siri137]

Actually, I already do. It's quite a big island though.

[Sparkie460]

What island do you live on?

[Siri137]

@Sparkie460 North Island, New Zealand.

[Sparkie460]

Ok wow we are very far away.

[menina]

I would but in Scotland. I would live in a tropical island.

[menina]

* but not in Scotland

[GOOSEBOY78]

@menina Australia is a Island not a continent.

[menina]

@GOOSEBOY78 Humm why are you talking about Australia? I didn't mention Australia.

[Sevenpointfive]

yeah sure. but maybe the GGW island circa 2000

[Surely]

If you were a diehard homesteader. An island would be the way to go!
Nice to dream about. But don’t think that I could live on an island permanently!

[JustinTheGreat]

No thanks. I love vacationing on islands but I don’t think I’d like living on one.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I would not. I love tropical and all that, but not everyday!

[DubiousIntentions]

Maybe if you shared it with the love of your life?

[CuriousMufuxka]

Nah, I'm single by choice. Also I'm not fond of hurricanes.

[Iron_Man]

Not really, but we have star island on Miami Beach

[SunnyRS]

Sure, as long as there are precautions against floods.

[bota_selena]

I would love to live there!

[Sparkie460]

I already live on an island.

[DubiousIntentions]

We don't mean Tom Sawyer's Island at Disneyland.

[Sparkie460]

I live on long Island in New York.

[exitseven]

hashaahah yes. I suppose you do.

[SnowedIn]

Yes please. I'd love that.

[Dargil]

Yes Bohol Island, Philippines.

[Likes2drive]

I already do, it’s called Long Island

[Sparkie460]

I forgot that we are neighbors

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes, possibly. In Washington.

[Pterodon]

No I wouldn’t

[nawtee_me]

alone maybe but not with a bunch of people...

[Erron_Black]

i want to with u :D

[Kingofkings1992]

Nope. Not my cup of tea.

[msc545]

Not enough to do.

[DubiousIntentions]

You got a bridge to the mainland. You can compare this to living in the suburbs.

[msc545]

In that case YES

[In_Trance]

no, I'm good

[WhiteBoyChill]

I sure would!

[wepiwod]

God yes
