That one being Texas...

Though I spent a month and a half in Wisconsin during the last election, so I was technically a resident there for the purpose of voting. (Got to vote for Sen. Feingold and U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore- oh yeah!) But I was just staying in a dorm; didn't have an apartment or anything.

LOL! (No, really, just want to make sure my guess is right).


I was born in California, and have basically moved around SoCal. With my liberal views, I don't think I want to move East, unless it is to New York or Vermount - and I don't like cold weather (anything below 60 above).

When did you live there? Where on Guam did you live?

[babylonsister]

97. Hi, driver8

We lived in Mangilao, a village at the top of a hill. We moved there in 1995 and stayed for about a year, which is all we could take! Got tired of no water pressure, no power, etc. And you? Were you in the military there?

[driver8]

108. My father was in the military.

We lived on the NCS base -- I am not sure if that base is there anymore or not. I went to Maria Ujolla, Harmon Loop (name is now changed, but not sure to what), and Finnegayan elementary schools.

My family lived there for almost four years and loved it.

AR
MT
WA
OR
AR
MT
OR

I think that's it.

[salin]

75. That is a very interesting sequence

quite a range in regions... how much was this due to family relocations while growing up - vs due to your own relocations as an adult?

[sandnsea]

77. 50/50

It was my parents until MS. That was a move with my first husband who was stationed there. The AR is because my parents eventually moved there and we tried that a couple times. There is alot about MT my husband and I really love, but it just ends up being too cold and isolated. The WA's were job related, although my current husband (of 25 years) did grow up there. We've been in Oregon for about 8 years now. I think we're fairly well settled.

I grew up in Missouri, then went to Kansas State University. After graduation moved to San Jose, California. Heard that Montana was the place to be. Moved to Glasgow, MT, then Missoula. Too cold. Moved to Denver, Colorado. After 10 years there moved to Brooklyn, NY where I have been since 1982. I Love New York and have no plans to move again, except ?? lets see, maybe Costa Rica, or Mexico or other dreamy places.
