I have noticed alot of the new members do not list their location.

Personally I like seeing all the different places people are from.

It also helps me when responding as to what time Zone the idividual is in. Or how to phrase a response.

Besides that I am Nosy. LOL

I was born in San Diego, raised in San Diego, and live in San Diego. I've never left! And why would I? Although I'd like a refund for the weather these past couple of weeks. With the amount we are paying to live here, someone should be refunding us.

I, in common with most people in Suffolk, have made the massive move between the various houses I have lived in of approximately 10 miles<g>

I did live in Tokyo for a couple of years though ...

Arnold Fribble was born somewhere in Ayrshire, Scotland;
for many years his home was in Frolic Street, Newtown, Wales;
now he lives in Machynlleth to prevent people from visiting.
His daughter Sally Ribble (née Fribble) lives in Birmingham in a house that many people, the post office included, mistake for an electricity substation.

I was Born in 1879 in Germany and was brilliant from a very early age.
Although I was not very successful at school, I had a very clear understanding
of the universe around me....woops that's Albert Einstein (or maybe Arnold Fribble).
I always get us confused.

Actually, I was born a poor black child in the south east USA and eventually fell
in love with a character played by Bernadette Peters. Damn, I did it again. That's
"The Jerk".

Oh yes, I was born in Bethesda, Maryland, USA and though I've moved around a little I am
now just about 10 miles north of there in Gaithersburg. I work as a database developer to
try and support my golf habit (and keep my wife happy). Oh and today's our anniversary.
