Mrs Mungo Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I would love to "know" as I see your names, where you are from. Where is the largest population of WTMers grouped. I have a theory, but would love to test it out! Thanks y'all! :thumbup1: (oops - that should read HaWaii above!) I voted "other." I'm FROM Oklahoma (DH is from Texas). However, as a military family we've lived in California, Virginia, 2 different places in Germany, North Carolina and now Hawai'i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in Orlando Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I made the wrong choice on the poll. I picked Northeast. I lied. I grew up in the NorthEast and still identify with that area more than I do with my current location (Orlando). I was shocked the first time we went through the history cycle and my kids were "bummed" that "we" lost the Civil War. Huh, "we" who? I'm looking forward to next year, another shot at the Civil War and I'm hoping we get it right this time. My kids are southerners by birth but dh and I are definitely Yankees.

Even though I have a great grandmother who was born in Meridian Mississippi, too many years of brainwashing occurred while my grandparents and parents were out west. Add to that the first 13 of my life spent in the north. He says I'm getting better though. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
