Where are you from?

[sbrehm72255]

Just to get to know everyone a bit more and to see where folks come from, how about showing us where you're from.

I.m from way out in the country of Missouri, closest town is 12 miles away and the nearest shopping mall is something like 60 miles from the house. Here's a pic of my house that I had built almost 4 years ago. there are a few other houses around, but everyone keeps pretty much to themselves.

I'm in Atlanta GA by way of Mena AR and northern CA, I was born in Concord CA and raised in Modesto and Stockton, I've lived in the east bay area, Los Angeles, Mena AR, Russellville AR, Baton Rouge LA, Waldron AR and now in Kennesaw which is part of the Atlanta metroplex. I hate moving X(

[sbrehm72255]

I'd hate to list all the places I've lived and number of times I've moved. My dad was in the military for 25 years and I was in for 20, so you figure a average of 3 years at any one place and that will give you a rough idea. That's not counting what they call short tours (6 months to a year) and those small little things called combat tours. ..................;)

I live just west of Indianapolis. I have been here my entire life. I am about to buy the farm that I grew up on from my dad in a few months so I am excited about that.

Loves the country!

I envy guys like you. In my lifetime I've moved well over 50 times (easily, probably closer to double that) and I just detest it. All I ever wanted to do was live in one place and be there until they laid me out in the backyard.

I live in an apartment in Baltimore, near Towson University.
The air is terrible, the community is mostly rowdy college students, our toilet gets clogged up weekly (thank God for liquid plumber), and our AC/Heater is pretty much useless.
But the rent is only $410 bucks a month, theres about 1000000 chinese food/ chicken wings joint within a 5 minute walk... and of course... hot college co-eds.
BOOYAH!

[Lothar]

I'm in the suberbs of Minneapolis, MN myself. And just a suggestion, why not start a google frappr? I've seen it done on other websites. Kinda fun, and you get a pushpin. :D

no definatly not the US... I am from TEXAS!




not that i am a geography major but isn't TEXAS in the USA? just asking


I am from the East Coast of Canada, in case you were wondering.

[sbrehm72255]

Some folks still/want to think that Texas is it's own country..............;)

At least my uncle thinks it should be............:)

Snohomish, WA USA = small farm town, quickly (way too quickly for my taste:mad: ) becoming suburbs for seattle(25mi to the sw) redmond(12mi to the south), and yes it is THAT redmond) and everett(10mi) I'm actually 6 miles out of town so it's still mostly big trees and pastures, with a few developments here and there. less cows, more horses and lamas (hobby farms) then there used to be.

Just moved to Tucson, AZ. from So. Cal.....job transfer. Housing is much more affordable in the desert.

[madscientist327]

West Michigan, about an 45 min or so north of Grand Rapids. ^^ Small town, live in a duplex (an old house that was divided inside, one half mine, one half other renters). I want my own house... -sob-

sbrehm72255, you have such a beautiful home. ^^ And yeah, the nearest mall is about 30-50 minutes away from where I live, but I like small town life. Quiet and slow paced. :)

I lived up in the Grand Rapids area back when I was a kid, I don't remember exactly where anymore, it was a long time ago...........:eek: All I really remember is that it was really cold during the winter and hotter than all-get-out in the summer.

[T-Shirt]

Steve, did you ever post any pics of what the storms did to your house a driveway? very curious.

[sbrehm72255]

Never got a chance to take any pics..............:eek: A friend of mine (lives down the street) has a Bobcat service and he was out fixing the entire street the next morning.............:) And to top it off, he did it for free except for the cost of the rock fill, he has to be one of the nicest people in the world. So outside of a lot of shovel work on my part, the total cost of storm damage was like $50.

Ah, thats really neat. :D I've lived in MI all my life, though I've moved several times around the state as a kid because my dad was transferred to different shops. And yeah, you remember correctly :) it gets quite cold here in the winter, and very hot in the summer. We are a bit of an odd weather state you could say. They always say the weather in michigan changes every five minutes. lol. Not true ^^, but sometimes it feels that way.

And thats great that you didn't have to spend a lot on storm repair. I know that can be a pain for the pocket book. :(

[T-Shirt]

That great. I've had to do driveway repairs/improvements by the trailer & shovel method (overhanging trees tight turns meant no dump truck access). It gets old really fast (or makes you old) Machines are the way to go, free machine and skilled operator Priceless.

Cool, make sure you get your "G'day mate" down pat and you'll have the women swooning ;)


(Although it never used to work for me when I was single :D )

:D I got an acting scholarship to college based on my impression of Steve Irwin... The ladies love the accent when I'm out, but it always makes for an awkward phone call 2 days later when they call to go out again...

[DarkSynergy]

Welcome to the forums Black Andy. We should drink sometime.

Carry on.
