Slovenia? Where is that? Europe? Asia? Updated. We now have all 50 states represented in some way, whether it be a person lives there, has lived there, or was born there. However, we do not yet have all the states who “currently” have people living in them. We still need 2 more places in Canada. One a Territory and one a Province I do believe we have all of the British Isles represented. I do believe we have all of the areas of Australia represented. Correct me if I’m wrong. **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.

**Idle Thoughts** : It’s in Europe, sorry for not specifying and thanks to **mkl12** and **Sternvogel** for clarification. Yep, it’s the northernmost part of the former Yugoslavia. ---

Minor point but I can’t get past it, I was born in South Australia and yes, I did live there up until 5 years ago, but seeing my name in red and not blue was stressing me out. ☹ Yes I know how stupid that sounds. Yes I’m working on getting over it. :smack: ---

I’m such a dwick! I entered my name on the map, with the highly original shoutout “Yo” After seeing this that my shoutout muse has been sleeping around, I went to change it (says you can, right?) Problem: that apostrophe in my name got mangled and became “Nature” on attempt two. When I noticed that (but before I noticed I’m in there twice) I re-entered as “Natures Call” So now I’m in there three times :smack: How do I delete the extra me’s?
