The "Where do you Live?" Thread

[Sarya]

moszibby, why don't you, then? It's not that bad here as Hollywood films naively pretend :)

 

On topic: voted for Europe. After all, we're European part.

[jojo man]

America. I live in Kentucky (Po-dunk capital, U.S.A.)

I'm still in Redwood City, California. some photos

 

I want to retire from my current job and move to Nevada or another state farther east in the next year.

...thanks, Lisn. You know, it took me ages to figure out your tag: Lisnpuppy= 'Listen Puppy' , at least I think so.

yey! just voted, so now the Europeans are at 50% of respondents.

As some lists have started to appear, I thought I'd add my own, of places I have lived:

England ( course )

Wales- mid and south

Scotland ( the best so far )

Canada - BC, Alta ( old abrev ), Yukon ( does it still exist? )

Morrocco- Marakesh express

Spain- Arenys de Mar, Ibiza, Torremolinos before it was crap.

USA- LA, Ore, Wash.

Would like to go to the East, but have developed a flying phobia. Could drive but there are some unpleasant places in the way. Better learn to sail, and avoid pirates.

 

Yes, Chesto, Yukon still exists. We have a new province called Nunivut. If you want great old world charm in North America. You have to visit Quebec City, but Newfie is the oldest settlement in North America. Like Texas, we use to be a Republic, before being part of Great Britain, than Canada. We were called The Republic of Ireland. We're over Five Hundred years old; them good ol' vikings. Here's a bit of Canadian history for you. The first non-native person was born in Labrador back in the 11th century.

Thanks , Carah. And for the history. Pity Erik et al couldn't make a go of it. America might have been a different place ( no offense denizens of the continent of N. America ). Course, knowing the Vikings, they still would have p'd off the locals in the long run.

Your pic, on this page, is bugging the flop out of me. I know I've seen it before but cannot remember where, or what. Care to put me out of my misery?

As Monty Python sang: I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK....

Mostly say the bit about Houston just to annoy fellow Texans. Lived awhile in Kerrville, Dallas, Fort Worth, (sounds like they kept running me out of town), Nacogdoches, but mostly in the Beaumont area. Miss the southern hospitality, barbecue, Cajun food, and the beach in the winter. Don't miss the humidity. Moved up here because of my mother. She looked after me my first 17 years of my life, so it's only fair I look after her the last years she has.

In some ways, I envy those that live in other countries. It's merely home to them, but to us that haven't been there, it's an interesting place. I mean, we only have a few hundred years of history.

But the way I see it, each place is what you make of it.

I'll 2nd all that & commend you for looking after your mom, have a kudos.

That's cool, I didn't know that

I think I remember from some where that the baby's name was Snorey, sound right?

I said traveling.

 

Even though I was born in the U.S., I travel very often, and do not like to stay put... :rolleyes:

Hey Chesto,

It is a pic of Boudicca, I found off Google Images.
