Which Massachusetts county are you posting from?

I'm in Worcester county. Any one else from Worcester County?

If not, what county are you currently living in, of have lived in...

[jjmalonejr]

1. Originally from Essex county

I live in CA now.

I've also lived in Middlesex and Norfolk counties at one time or another.

[WindRavenX]

2. I'm right between Norfolk and Suffolk

Like, literally, the two places merge right on the damn hill my college is on...so...um, I think technically because I'm in Newton, I'm in Norfolk county, right?

[TaleWgnDg]

27. Boston College is in Newton, Massachusetts . . .

Boston College is in Newton, Massachusetts . . . and Newton, Massachusetts is in Middlesex County. Chestnut Hill is a part of Newton, Massachusetts, as is all the "subdivisions" of Newton.

7. I'm down near the rhode island border. I have been lurking on Du

since the election and signed on a month or two ago, prior to that I was working for John Edwards making phone calls and writing letters. And then when kerry got the go ahead, well of course I supported him.

I posted a lot over at the edwards blog then tried to go over to the kerry blog but didn't like the format, so hardly ever posted.

I stayed with a few close bloggers over at jregrassroots.org, then found du and have been here since and it feels like home.

It's nice to meet you!

[Longgrain]

9. I think I've got you beat as far as lurking...three and one-half YEARS!

I've know about this site pretty much since the beginning (Jan. 2000) I first heard about it through Bartcop.com.

Finally registered during the height of the Kerry campaign.

Either way, welcome aboard...:hi:

[Riding this Donkey]

10. You definitely got me beat on the lurking! And Thanks for the welcome!

When I see you post, I'll be sure to try to give a quick comment. It's nice to know that people close by geographically are here.

Also, if you hear of stuff going on in MA or need some help, let me know! I'll do what I can...

Take Care!
