Where are you from!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: November 21, 2007, 08:03:03 PM »
You know I really love this site but when you click on someones name to find out where they are from more time than not they omit that information. That in my opion should be required information. It is not like we are asking for your street address. Please just give us a city and state. I can understand not wanting to share your age but what part of the country you live in. Come on now!!!!!!!!!!! Dale

You've never been stalked by some psycho you could not shoot for some reason. I have. It's a real PITA.

I'm in South East Alaska.

Chilachook, if you think being pursued by some wacko who can't shoot, then think how you feel being stalked by somebody who CAN shoot!!  ;)

Born and raised in Tennessee, a good place to be from, far from.  My mother lives there!  I now live just outside North Pole, Alaska.  Me the wife and youngest son.  Two and a half miles from Santa Clause house.

As for a stalker, NO PROBLEM, a one way hike in Grizzly country and it's all over.  I live in Grizzly country.  Have two or three pass through the back yard every year.

Last stalker made a near fatal mistake, came into the house while I was gone.  Wife shot him.  Load of bird shot both thighs and groin.  Last we heard he had been locked up as a nut case, and shipped back to Pennsylvania, where he had family.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Yer right Dale.  I should have filled that out a long time ago,  guess I wasn't thinking.   Not unusual for me.  Ask my wife. 

Michigan.  Lived here my whole life, I'm 51 now.   It seems like I get colder every Winter so I know why people move South now.

OH...by the way, I'm getting a colonoscopy Monday, and I'm going to get a note from the doctor for my wife, that will confirm my head is not in fact up there. 

Nice meeting you Dale.

Jim

Oh yeah, better throw this in for good measure (in case there's any Minnesota or Illinois members)  It'd be nice to know if there are any, too, for the rest of us.  Then we can use smaller words   ;)

I live in upstate NY just North of syracuse or Southern California. See I can be anywhere but no one really knows which is why making it mandatory to put in a profile will not work. But I am North of syracuse (maybe)

I am from the land of the Cheeseheads. The land of the Green Bay Packers. Just down the road from myronman3, I would like to meet him some day and see what he has to say in person.  What I mean to say is North west Wisconsin.
