> [@LH75](#): > > I think I may be the only doper from Nebraska Do I count as a doper if I’m not a paying member? 'Cause you bet your sweet bippy I’m in Nebraska. ---

I didn’t see anyone actually post, soooo…South Carolina checking in! Well, upstate SC at least. I still haven’t had the pleasure of exploring this fine state just yet. ---

Sorry guys, I left North Dakota back in 2003. ☹ I’m in Utah now. I just got here. 🆒 Tripler Yeah, there was Montana, Georgia, and some “-stans” in between ND and here. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > As I read over the represented states, I am convinced that North Dakota does not exist. I have never been there, and IIRC, I have never met anyone who has claimed to be from North Dakota. Only state I’ve never been to. However, I did have a housemate once who, for some reason I’ve never understood, claimed to be from there. If defunct US territories count, I lived in the Canal Zone for a couple of years. ---

I hope it’s OK to resurrect this thread, but I was thinking we need a 'What State are you From?" poll now that we have the technology, but I don’t know how to do it. Also, is IMHO or ATMB the right place? ---

MPSIMS seems like a better place. Definitely not ATMB. Connecticut. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > As I read over the represented states, I am convinced that North Dakota does not exist. I have never been there, and IIRC, I have never met anyone who has claimed to be from North Dakota. I rode through it once on a train on the way from Chicago to the east side of Glacier Nat’l Park. It was daytime. We saw bison from the train, and I noted there was a bar, a liquor store, a casino, and a gun store visible from the station at every single stop on that route from Fargo on.
