"Living in the sticks," as I understand it, wouldn't mean living in a sod house on the Great Plains, but in a cabin in a wooded area. That is, "living in the sticks" is near to literal. It is interesting to me to the more general meaning of living in an isolated area--and it occurs to me I am hearing it from a prairie dweller. Hmm.
