I would also like my husband to wake up so we could go get breakfast, but I am not quite low enough to go "accidentally" wake him up.
Kate, are you worried about noise? I'd bet you'll become accustomed to it and not even notice.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, train tracks on the other side of a highway doesn't seem like it would be a problem. The highway itself would worry me more, but obviously you noticed that one before you bought and took it into consideration.

Since you’re in Nashville, the sound of the train might fill you with with a sense of deep regret about the man you shot in Reno.

I've been known to send one of the kids to wake DH because I am just low enough to do that.

Probably the only trains that use those tracks are Midnight Trains to Georgia. (Everbody with me - whoo whoo!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I live about half a mile from the railroad tracks and got used to it pretty quickly. I do still get ear wormed from hearing that lonesome whistle blow, but I can sleep through it just fine as long as the bedroom windows are closed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of loved living several blocks from the train station, because I do like the whistle sound.

A block away is one thing. Less than a hundred yards is not fun.

The status is NOT quo.
My first house as a child was near the train tracks, and I still fun those sounds deeply soothing.

Oh yeah, I had friend with commuter rail tracks in their backyard. That was noticeable.
