The religion thread is so much fun, let's talk politics!
 

No, not really. :lol3:




Seriously, or rather, not seriously...Let's have a total fluff thread.

I was born in San Antonio, Texas. I am currently living in Honolulu, Hawaii. This means I am 3,712 miles away from home.

Can anyone beat that? :D (Good tool for calculating distances here.)

I was born in Wellsville, New York and grew up in Seattle, Washington. That's a distance of about 2182 miles. I currently live in San Antonio, go figure! I love this place. It's only 1441 miles from Wellsville. You know, I haven't been there since I was born.

btw, congrats on getting back to your pre-preg weight :D

THANK GOD...there's one thing I always get drawn into and get in trouble with...politics. It's such a passionate subject, and somebody is always there to disagree with me...passionately...and ruin my day.

I agree...let's NOT talk about politics.

Well, I grew up in Rochester NY and now I live in Cape Vincent NY...where I spent all my fun summers...exactly 92 miles away....but feels like 3000 miles sometimes!!

:D

I win win win!!! :p

Hobart Tasmania to Manchester England 10 669 miles

:p :p :p

:D

Well, I only live 167 miles from where I grew up in Concord, MA, but that is by way of 7 years in Atlanta, GA and anther 2 in Toronto, Ont. so I have managed to get around a good bit. :)

hahaha, yeah, I think you win. That's probably just about as far away from a place as you can get.

Not so far for me. I was born in Beckley, WVa and am in Orlando, FL now... only 629 miles.

Nifty thread idea...

-lala

Shoot! Don't tease a person with politics then say "not really". Grrrrrrrrrr

I get around myself. Moved from my home state of WV and spent around 8 years in Concord, NH. Then moved from there to VA Beach, and now I'm back where I started in WV. About 45 minutes from where I started though. Didn't want to move right back from Point B to Point A.

Right now I live about a mile and a half from where I grew up... I did live about 29 miles away but then moved back. Soon I'll be moving to Madison, which is about 177 miles away...after that ( since I'll only be in Madison for about a year and a half) it may be Cincinatti, OH

Let's see...born in Kentucky, raised in Indiana by Kentuckian parents (that's a handicap right there! LOL), brief stint in Cincinnati for college, back to Indiana for about 19 years, then moved to east central Florida. So...I guess 1100 miles from where I was raised.

I have four kittens who live with me, one mile away from my parents and my husband's parents (in opposite directions).

My favorite kitten is a little blue and white tom who I think is going to be HUGE--if he makes it to adulthood! I'm worried about him because he's getting to that "exploration" stage and I'm afraid he'll "explore" his way right into one of the neighbor's dogs' mouths.

He is FLUFFY, though. That's my FLUFF contribution!

I grew up in a tiny little town called Rossville in Indiana. I did live in Wahiawa, HI for about 4 years. That was 4318 miles. But now my husband and I are at Ft. Huachuca in southern Arizona. It's 1457 miles. We may be moving to Houston. We're meeting tonight with the guy who might be hiring him. If all goes well, he'll get the job and we can get out of the Army. If he doesn't hire him, I guess we'll stay in. Wish us luck! Please!!!!

Well, I'm only a couple of thousand miles away from where I was born, so I can't top GBMM or Kykaree on that one. But my son was born when I lived overseas, so he's currently about 5,000 miles away from his birthplace. Does that count? Not that it comes close to Kykaree's distance. :)

Dalai Lala, my mom is from Beckley and I still have relatives there. I'd love, love, love to get a trip back to Beckley to see them again and do some genealogical/historical research, but it's about 2000 miles away, so it doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. Have you had a chance to go back recently?

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. I've seen it mentioned a few times in this thread.:D I now live in Shoeburyness in England. It's 3965 miles (6381 km) from Cincy to London and 42 miles from London to Shoebury soooo...4007 miles. Is that 2nd place?:carrot:

I've seen a formula for determining your porn star name. Take your middle name and then use the name of the street that you grew up with as your last name. So I'd be Renee Liberty.:dizzy: That's my offering to the randomness of this thread!:o

Well I haven't moved too far. I was born and raised in a very small town, Batesville, IN and now I live only about 68 miles away in another small town called Lebanon, OH. (outside of Cincinnati, OH which I see has been mentioned a few times here)

Also We did live in Victor, NY (outside of Rochestor, which I see was mentioned too) for one year.

*TFL*

My favorite version of that is to take the name of your first pet & the street you grew up on (I use the first one, since I lived several places growing up). This produces some strange ones, but mine using this formula is strangely appropriate: Velvet Cresthill. I think, if I ever get a romance novel published, that this is the nom de plume I will use. :devil:

Oh C'mon GreatBigMonsterMomma, there is such good political news today. Patrick Kennedy is blaming ambien on his drunk driving and capital police blatantly didnt give him a breathalizer, showing that their is corruption on the hill. Its not policy, its just another sad story in the world of politics.

But if you dont want to talk politics, my porn star name is Ben Lydia. Not that appealing :( Anyone have big weekend plans?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's even better, GBMM! If that's the case, then my porn name is Kisses Liberty!

What kinds of pets did y'all have named Velvet and Kisses?

Leave me outta this one. I'd be Gay Fenton. No way Jose!

Mine was a cat. I was six. :lol: Her name was actually Velvet Ears (she eventually had a daughter whom I named Velvet Nose). I just took the liberty of leaving off the last part. :p

Yeah, I know there's great political news, and on anothe board I'd be all for a discussion of "I wasn't drunk, I was on drugs" as a defense, but I would rather keep things friendly here. ;)

Kisses was a bunny rabbit. But come to think of it, I had another rabbit at about the same time, called Tipsy. So Kisses Liberty or Tipsy Liberty. Either one very good for a porn star. But not as good as as Gay Fenton!:D

i know right?


Lol I grew up in Brooklyn New York. Now I'm up in Rochester, NY. I eventually plan to Move to boston, Mass. And then Settle in CT. :p

HAHAHA!! We were talking about this at work once. My porn start name is Morris Latta. My old boss's name is Buffy Bonesteele!! The best part is Buffy is a man...and a hairdresser at that!!

Veggie...do you recognize those last names? I grew up in Rochester...those names are from Latta Road and Bonesteele Street...both in Greece. :D

Margarita - I haven't been back to Beckley for a couple of years. I don't get on with most of my mom's family and my Dad moved to Virginia so with any luck I'll never go back to Beckley again.

So, the porn star name thing won't work too well for me. When I was very small, the street I lived on was named after my grandfather's last name, so it'd be my middle name and my maiden name, very dull... Unless you take the pet name and the street I lived on in Ocala, Fl (the most, we moved a lot) and I'd be Demeter 198th Street Lane... hmmm..... Oh well!

-Lala

Mine would be Sherman Rural Road. Not very exciting.

I grew up in Chicago, IL and I now live in Joliet IL (about 45 mi) I did go to a boarding school in Kansas for two years. That was about 30 miles west of Topeka.

As for pron star names I would be Beth Keating the pet names don't work, we had two cats, one was Filbert and the other was Linus. My parent's have moved since I was little, so My youngest sister's name would be Patty Blakely, and I think that one is good.

I grew up in the Northwest Territories Canada, and live 2000 km from there...

porn name, Tootsie Pine... hmmm think Ill just leave that alone...lol

Let's see... porn star names :devil:

Middle name and street I grew up on:
Fox St. Mary

Pet & Street:
Salem St. Mary

... Grew up on St. Mary's Ave, right across from the Catholic grade school of the same name, and my mom's maiden name was Fox so that became my middle name :)

As far as working these names, I dunno about the St. Mary's bit heehee! Though there is a um, unusual, nun fetish I've seen about...

And yes, my first cat was named after Salem, Massachusetts. I was big into spooky stuff at the time... I was a rather odd child! Of course I am completely normal now... ;)
