I mean, I love Jordy, I enjoyed the story, the last sentence made it very gpc-y, tuckish, white Midwestern, whatever you want to call it.

some people are humble?

he's just a farm kid.......the couple of people that i know he went to grade school with said he was a pretty shy and quiet kid........i think as an adult, that trait turns into humble.

"just a farm kid" is very condescending to me (farm kid)

Neither one of you guys is as humble as Jordy though. (farming community town kid, somewhat humble)

I am more humble than any of you and I grew up in country (not a farm tho)

KITNfury · « **Reply #185 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:15:05 AM »

Personally, I'm the most humbled when I win something.

CNS · « **Reply #186 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:22:25 AM »

Winning stuff is the worst. It really tests you. I mean, you want to celebrate, but you can't because celebrating is what losers do all the time.

I'm a farm kid and am in no way humble. Farm kids have it rough ridin' made, their parents are rich, and live a great lifestyle that no one can just buy into unless they're ridiculously wealthy.

CNS · « **Reply #188 on:** February 09, 2016, 02:30:15 PM »

Mich, you are one of the lucky. You made it out!

all my friends that stayed home to run the farm are definitely wealthier than me.

Farm talk gossip that people up around Riley are pissed because Jordy is buying up all the farm ground that comes up for sale. JORDY!

And his dad is pretty much managing it. Won't sell anything unless Pops Nelson likes/approves of potential buyer.

can you imagine how incredible farm life is you guys? everyday I ask myself, why not me?

MakeItRain · « **Reply #197 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:46:49 AM »

Are we conflating humble with nice? I'm not sure getting paid money to make a commercial about your life is particularly humble.

Yard Dog · « **Reply #198 on:** February 12, 2016, 08:51:44 AM »

This may or may not be related, but there is a downside to all of this.

I have a few buddies who are brothers and grew up in Ashland, KS. Their family are successful ranchers. They are both looking ahead to a prosperous life, but are desperate to find a girl while in Manhattan. That's because when they move home their options will be between bucktooth Sally and using Farmers Meet (which we know is full of gold diggers).

So it might seem glorious, but it aint all glitter and gold.
