I didn't read all of the exchanges here but I am not insulted if someone needs a "high society" type for stimulating conversation.
My DW wants exactly what Syracusa describes - a neighborhood of professional friends. I feel for her because we can't afford it. . .so she goes without friends. I really do feel bad about that.
I just point out to her though that I am a country doctor. . .and we'd be sitting around at finely decorated table and like the Planters All-Fruit commercial, I'd say,
"Can ya' pleeze pass da' jelly?"
Syracusa: lighten up a bit.
LivingLarge: you lighten up too. It's okay if someone doesn't want to hang with you because you talk about the Philadelphia Eagles too much and how they are the best football team.
