Kansas... Home of the Jayhawks, KSU Wildcats, wheat, birthplace of Pizza Hut, and, of course, the Wizard of Ahhhhhhs.

believer, I lived in North San Diego County for 2 years while hubby was in the Marines. Being from Washington, it was like a 2-year vacation from the rain... and I initially thought it was great!

Then, on the three or so occassions that it DID actually rain down there, I had to laugh at all the SoCal drivers who acted like they forgot how to drive just because a little moisture was falling from the sky! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> It was hilarious!

I really liked being able to plan outdoor activities for ANY day we wanted, but the smoggy air and brownish bushes got old after awhile.

And our christmas tree was pathetic! Trucked in from who-knows-where, it was like a Charlie Brown tree... so sad. That really made me miss home.

Come back to Seattle in August and I promise you'll love it. It's the month we all live for up here.

Glad to hear others have slugs too - except the kind that nerlykrazy had sounds a lot more slimy than ours!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

The Texans must be sleeping tonight. I have thoruoghly insulted them, and no word from them.

The Texans must be sleeping tonight. I have thoroughly insulted them, and still no word from them.

I'm from the province of Alberta. Hey there Alberta, I sincerely was sorry to see the Flames lost at home last night and have to play game 7 in Tampa Bay. I used to live in Cowtown, so going back to cheering for the Flames isn't too painful.

Hey there Binder, we're neighbours in the same city it would seem! Too bad the Oilers couldn't pull it together like the Flames this year, eh?

So on this thread if I count Alberta, Binder, someone from the maritimes (sorry, forgot name) and me, that makes only 4 canucks.....so is infidelity that much less prevalent in Canada, or are we just more reserved about discussing it?? Hmmmm.....I recall that the Dv rate here is more like 40% but I don't know about infidelity stats....maybe I'm thinking too much on a fun thread!!

Hiya Jen.....nice to see some locals here, but hard to believe from the same city.

It's a small world.......but I wouldn't want to paint it.

Here is a Texan....sorry, would have MUCH rather been laughing with you all on this thread last night, but had to deal with reality last night... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I think I had better keep my Texas roots to myself...keep a low profile, so to speak!

Send some of your spirit my way, believer!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

northwest nj. i use to live in south jersey for awhile----would love to do a jersey get together---sounds like fun at the shore time!!! and you pennsylvanians can come too!

Ummmm…am I the only Minnesotan (read: mini-soooo-ton) here? East Central…Cambridge to be exact…roughly 55 miles from either of the downtowns (that would be either Minneapolis or St. Paul).

Oh c’mon….there have to be some other GL-ers here…

Another Georgian, here! (hey, Lisa103 and patibelle). I hail from the "Big Chicken" region but spent 8+ years in Warner Robins.

ML, did you hear they're going to divide Alaska into two states?
Yeah, that means TX will be the *third* largest state in the union! hahahahahahahaha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Mitzi, Mr. Turtlehead and I are planning to move to WV in about a year, so you'll have company, dear. (We're not moving so that you'll have company, lest you misunderstand. We're compassionate, but not THAT compassionate!)

AHHH that would be me from eastern Canada...

I'm amazed that there is someone else from Iowa besides me. Not many people around this part of the country. So, lordslady and peaceandlove, hello fellow Iowans!

Southern California native here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

TENNESSEE! No Yankees here.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hi all,

Another one living in Northern California, but I have lived on been in most of the states and cities mentioned so far. Yup, that probably includes you Anyone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

However, this is for Mel. My W is from Texas, that is where we met and married and lived for awhile. It is truely a "state of mind". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Piece of geography for you folks. If you live in Texarkana TX you live closer to Chicago, than you do El Paso. Put the old string to the globe on that one.

Mel where in the Piney Woods do you live? If you don't mind my asking?

JL

I'm in Indiana. Right smack dab in between Indy and Louisville KY.

Nothing to see here.....flat land and corn.

I am out in Longview, which is 100 m east of Dallas, and an hour west of Shreveport, LA. BUT, I was raised in Lubbock!
