Just so everyone knows, this is a continuation of [this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=333605)
Hasn’t been updated for quite a long while so I thought I’d resurrect it.
If you’re new to the topic, feel free to post any info you like to be added to the list. If you have posted in here before but have changed or new info (be it location change or name change or, really, any sort of change), feel free to tell me and I’ll change anything you wish. 🙂
The Key/Legend is the same:
**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
And finally, the ever-growing list (keep in mind this list is about a year and a half old, it may need updating and changing a bit [or a lot] at first).

I have also lived in Ontario (1 year) and Northwest Territories (seemingly forever) in Canada.
Also, holy crap do you have a lot of time on your hands?

If I understand this…
I am in **Washington (state)**, was born in Ohio, and have lived in Pennsylvania , British Isles, and France at least once.

I was born in Maryland.
I live in Colorado; I have also lived in New York, Florida, Virginia, California, Massachusetts, Texas, Ohio, and Vermont.
I’ve lived in Italy. (Sicily to be precise.)
I’ll be moving to Canada this summer. Put down, umm… Ontario, though Nova Scotia and Alberta are still possibilities.
That should give you something to do for a few minutes. 🙂

[/QUOTE]
You got it. 🙂
Now see, only other main thing (that sometimes caused confusion in the older topic) is that if you STILL LIVED in the place you were born in, you’d have a bolded blue name (however, it doesn’t seem to apply to you).
**GingeroftheNorth** , yeah, it’s a curse somewhat. :smack:
Geez, **Frank** , and here I thought **Large Marge** was the member who has moved around the most. I think you may have dethroned her.

For me:
Name in Bold Font = currently is in location Ohio.
Name in Blue Font = was born in location New South Wales.
Name in Red Font = has lived in location at least ONCE (but was NOT born in) England.
Name in Green Font = will be going to or returning back to location in future New South Wales.

And as a bit of trivie – my Social Security Number is a District of Columbia one, though I was not born there and have never lived there. I worked in an office in DC for about 2 weeks, and used that office as my mailing adress for the SSN.

**Idle** , you ever think about a career with the Census Bureau? 🙂
I’m no longer in Maine; I’m back in Illinois. I was born at a very early age in Pennsylvania, and have also lived in Florida (twice) and Wisconsin.
I spent a lifetime driving through New Jersey and New York one day - does that count?

Let’s see if I get the colours right:
Born in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, have lived elsewhere in Southern and Eastern, Ontario
Currently live in **Houston, Texas** , I’ve also lived in Austin. The only other place outside Ontario I’ve lived in is Los Alamos, New Mexico
Hopefully in the future I’ll make my way to Taiwan for a spell or back to Ontario

I’m currently in Chicago, so for Illinois I should be **HazelNutCoffee** , and for South Korea I should be HazelNutCoffee. (To be precise I’d be HazelNutCoffee for Michigan and Georgia as well.)
I’m pretty sure **Monty** is currently in South Korea, FWIW.

Hahaha, while you all can use the color codes yourself, it’s not needed. 🙂 I do appreciate it, but I didn’t mean for anyone to do that. Really, if you all just put your info and specify where you were born and live and have lived and will go to future-wise, I’ll do all the colorcoding for you. I don’t mind.
So yeah, just don’t feel, repliers of this topic, that you have to colorcode the things yourself in your post.
