Minnie, I tried to email you, but that isn't an option when I click on "my page" by your name.

Patti lives in southwest Iowa. I live in southeast NE (Nebraska). I could see the ugly clouds from our house. Missed us by a few miles. whew!

That's a good idea Minnie.
Until last year, I thought Patti lived in Colorado (the Co in her name). I now know it isn't, but couldn't remember where.

Yeah I agree, when someone posts a thread that has to do with where they are but doesn't say where they live, it's pretty much useless. Like the farm pictures, where's the farm, it does not say...

Even if it said where they lived in their profile somewhere, doesn't have to give the address, heck just what state would help.

Say yes to this request, please. Just the state would help to make so many posts more understandable. The mi in my user name means Michigan, just in case. :)

Yes, I was wondering where Patti lived too so I can remember to take a helmet if I every go there! That hail!

I too thought Pattico is in Colorado.
There have been posts requesting people to add their areas, but too many don't, and yes, it makes it so much more personal to know what state everyone is from.
Kathy G in MI
And yes, the MI is Michigan.

Thanks everyone for understanding no addresses just the area

I agree, just the state would be ok. I too wonder where the weather is, good food, markets, I also sometimes use West Coast or Midwest regarding my family. Thanks to all who remember
Marie from ND

Marie, I've been trying to decipher your name.
ND Cal. I thought it might be N. Dak, then Cal is there, so I have no idea.

I think? Marie is in ND but at some point was in CA. I may be wrong.

Anyway, the mo is for Missouri. Extreme S.E. Missouri where it is cloudy and light rain falling today. :)

Charlee

I thought I was the only one trying to figure out where pattico lives. LOL

I tried to make a user name to indicate that I'm near Chicago, but some people have thought I was Chinese.

Hah! Evidently the people servicing Medicare here also thought so. They registered me as FirstName Su LastName.

I'm 30 miles north of the city, along Lake Michigan. It's been gorgeous here after our long heat wave -- maybe a tad too much rain and humidity, but wow, is everything GREEN!

I live in the Sunny Okanagan in B.C. Canada

Now Dolly..it is a small world. I grew up in Okanogan WA : ) Funny we spelled it different!
Teri PacNW and I both live on Whidbey Island in Washington state. She's at the SOouth end of town, and I'm out to the North end ..

Hi whidbeykathy
How far North are you from Seattle?
Dolly

I'm in NW Florida, where it's 85 and sunny!

We are about 90 miles north of Seattle.
Here's a map of the Island..
The South end of the Island is 40 miles from us via SR 20, but we on the North End are closer to the mainland, so we drive across Deception Pass Bridge; and then on to I-5 in Mt. Vernon
The time is about the same, 1.5 hours on a good day. The South end you can sit a hour waiting for a ferry, after you drive almost a hour in traffic to get there; making it a LONG drive :(

Here is a link that might be useful:

I thought I was so clever, when I used OklaMoni for my name... but they quit letting us have capital letters. :(

I live in the middle of Oklahoma

Moni

Hi again whidbeykathy
Thanks for the information.
My DD lives in New Westminster near Vancouver,Canada.
I'll have to ask her if she has ever visited the Island.
Wishing you a great day

Good idea for sure! or at least include in your user page (is that what it is called?) I am in western NY - near Buffalo - and our weather this summer has been great - hot, sometimes dry, and with a good amount of rain to ensure good weed growth!

I wondered about us having a page in the site where the Kitchen Chairs are (duh, can't recall it) where we had a listing for those that wanted to so that we could see who else was in our state. Maybe like a map with a dot near your city/state. I'm not computer savy and I know Marilyn isn't well now but pehaps in the future.

BTW, I'm in Lakeland, FL , not Boston - that's my last name!
We who use the Florida Gardening site decided to put our city and gardening zone in our names so that when we dicussed plants people would know how well the grow in our area since some of Florida is tropical and some is more like northern weather in the winter.

I also thought Pattico lived in Colorado, I do,
and was concerned about the weather she had....
It would be a good idea if we said "here in...."
That way everyone would know right away....

Chisue, I have a sister that lives in Highwood on the lake. Are you around there? She lives in what used to be Fort Sheridan.

OOPS! I should have said Joann, not Marilyn, I think. Anyway, does anyone know why when I post on sites in the Garden Forums, my user name comes up with my city in it and it doesn't here? It just shows up as mboston.

I live in the middle of SD. The only thing I would like to see is when people put pictures one here especially in the I'LL SHOW YOU MINE IF YOU'LL SHOW ME YOURS especially if they are scenery pictures. I just got a digital camera and someday I hope to put pictures there too.

I live in the state of confusion and can't find it on the map

I agree that it would be great for people to mention what state (or city) they're from in posts mentioning prices/weather etc.
I'm in Palm Springs California.

Hi lazypup ... from southern Ontario.

You wouldn't happen to inhabit a Ford Fusion, would you?

I've been wondering ...

... if a con artist drove a Fusion ...

... would it be "con-Fusion?

Or con's-Fusion??

ole joyfuelled ... who also inhabits that state of confusion, at times (not in the U.S. of A.)

Ed -- It would be "Cons' Fusion". They're the guys who try to hold up banks with notes written on the backs of their own deposit slips.

sleeper -- We're in the next suburb north. We moved north from Wilmette to get more peace and quiet after DH didn't have to commute into the city anymore. The Ft. Sheridan properties turned out just great! Guess the battles over the redevelopment of the golf course aren't over yet, but I love seeing that expanse of open land that extends from Sheridan Road to the lakefront. Our 'city' is celebrating its' 150th birthday this year.

I live in middle TN .....

I live in Kilgore TX a just right size town of 12000 in the mideastern part of the state.

It is in the pine belt but has many hardwood trees. Generally the weather is ideal except for a few hot days in late July and August.

The occasional cold days in winter are very bearable.

Bigbaby and I live in southeastern Minnesota. That would be where the farm pictures came from.

soxxxx, I have a cousin that lives just down the road from you, in Henderson.

Ron

I'm in the South Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. I too would so appreciate a note about a poster's home state in a specific post if the content would be made more understandable with such information.

Pattico lives in far west Iowa. I think she is near Sioux City. I don't know where Patti43 lives.
Our weather is OK today a little warm and very humid. It is 87 now, which is better than the high 90s we had a couple of years ago.

When did they shorten our usernames? When I first joined it showed my name followed by my state and garden zone. I also live in Texas. We are suffering through the hottest summer on record, and I thought 1980 was bad. There was rain last week, but it parked just on the edge of our county. We didn't get any. We have only gotten about a half an inch all summer. All the ranchers around here are having to sell their cattle because there is no hay.

When the kt first started back in 97...we all put our names and states...hence liz ga...it stuck...when it went to pay we could have anything we wanted...then it went free again and we got away from putting our states next to our names...I love seeing where everyone is from!!

My screen name gives my real name, where I used to live, (Ohio) and where I live "now", (Georgia).
