That's true, because I am from Huntsville, AL but live in Renton, WA.

P.s.......

I live in Central Oregon, near a pine tree.........
Hey, I've driven thru there many times on my way to Reno. I bet I past your house because I saw a pine tree. :lol:

Don't think anyone intended on annoying you.

btw,
I am from where I live, so the answer is the same for me.

And there are those who, and I agree, would worry about someone looking up their name and addres and coming to their homes to steal their stash.ROFL......
This is "funny"....I have always had the same question. Now I have an answer and to be understood. I am just sure " they would want my stash" LOL Love your humor ladies, makes my coffee taste so good in the AM

I know it's not intentional. My kids learned to ask the question they actually want the answer to.

If you want to know where somebody lives ask that.

I have lived in places there is absolutely no way under the sun that I would have said I'm from.

I think one of the nice things about seeing a location is that I have met two wonderful board members in person. Both Bettia and GrammaNan live in the same neck of the woods as I do and I feel very blessed to have met them. I wouldn't have met either of them without the location being filled out. :-D
