I'm 100% honest- I tell them I'm a Villager & lucky to be one. I also tell them we should've moved here years sooner

What does this bottom of the barrel really mean to you? Can you define?

If I were going to make a guess..... maybe the people that read that you think Wildwood is the bottom of the barrel! That is what you posted this morning.....isn't it?
