So where do you live then, **TheLoadedDog**? Someone told me NZ and I think I’ve had you there since. I’ll change it though, no problem…but to what? Heh. **Gorrillaman** - Just as long as you don’t press charges. **Ice Wolf** - You are most welcome. 🙂 **Pixisis** - Actually, you’d only be blue and green, but that’s still fun. I don’t count people who were born in a state as red, as I think blue defaults the “living in” state. Obviously they lived there once if they were born there. As for current location, I have you down for what you are now, but when you back, you will, however become a BOLD blue/green, and your current location will turn red. Just tell me when that happens. 🙂 **fishbicycle** - I guess you would call me that, since I’m an only child. I tend to really spend time putting things in order. I don’t THINK it’s any kind of OCD habit, but lists and order keep me busy and I love doing projects like that. I once put all 500 of my mother’s CDs in alphabetical order just because…and if you put all the threads in About This Message Board in order by post count and decending, you’ll see I have one of the most replies to a topic in there (a list of members on here total, in which I also put them in order of post count, and date of regestry!). So you could say I have great patience for long, organized lists. I have no life, and I don’t work because of a disablity. So I usually have nothing but free time all day. I spend a third of the day volunteering, a third reading, and a third online. Well, wagering in sleep there too, but I seem to require little sleep. **Large Marge** - Yeah, it was that at first, but so many were putting where they were born, and places they had lived anyway, that I decided to include it. **Name in Bold Font** = Doper currently is in location. Name in Blue Font = Doper was born in location. Name in Red Font = Doper has lived in location at least once (but was not born in). Name in Green Font = Doper will be going to or returning back to location in future. Mixed colors/ **bolding** = Doper has more than one attributes to location If you are not labeled on the list as something…or, if your status ever changes,…OR if you want me to update something… **OR** if you want me to add on info about you, (because I only did the color schemes based on if you were clear on or specifically said where you were born, lived, were moving to, etc), just reply and I’ll add on/change/update any information! 🙂 If I’ve made any mistakes just tell me. Also, if you are bothered or don’t want to be listed on a certain location for any reason, just tell me and I’ll remove you.

I was born in Ohio, and lived most of my life there. A few spelling corrections: “Conneticut” should be Connecticut. Under “New York”, **taxii78cab** should be **taxi78cab**. Under “Pennsylvania”, **Guinistasia** should be **Guinastasia**. And by the way, I’m the oldest of the four kids in my family. ---

Wow, this is turning into a huge project. > [@Idle Thoughts](#): > > **Large Marge** - Yeah, it was that at first, but so many were putting where they were born, and places they had lived anyway, that I decided to include it. In that case … I was born in Hawaii, live there now, and have previously lived in: California Colorado Illinois Vermont Missouri Indiana Texas Washington (state) Port McNeill, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada Agana, Guam ---

If we are also recording places we have previously lived for some length of time, you can put me down in red for New South Wales Australia, England, and one we don’t have under Pacific - Bougainville Island, NSP, Papua New Guinea. ---

I’m not sure if she’s still around. _waves_ 🙂 Hi, I’m still around, I rarely seem to have anything of interest to add and for the last few months I’ve only had rare access to the net from home so I prefer to lurk during work hours and fight my own ignorance, (and occasionally my co-workers). For the record, I live in Darwin in the NT although I was born and lived in Adelaide in South Australia for the first 27 years of my life. Cheers, Acaciacath ---
