Where Are You From?, Pass the beer mug

Tsk. Tsk. How gauche! Ettiquette demands that one consume only that roadkill dispatched by someone else! Except for possums, of course. You hit one, you eat it.

Just my tuppence.

In Idaho, the deer you bag with your truck doesn't count against your permit to hunt deer. You don't even need a hunting liscence!

Yeah, but that is one divil of an expensive way to go deer hunting!!!

Just my tuppence.

Andy

Deer hunting with your car is quite acceptable in Idaho. Have you ever seen the trucks the farmers use for this? They're expendable. What's a $40,000 truck anyway?

I just like to tell you a little story how my hometown is getting her name.
A long time ago in this area there were no more than a lot of moorland, some fields, a lot of thick, wild forests and a river. By the river stood a mill, and the miller named Erph (or Erf).
Not far from the mill was a ford, the only ford a long way.....
So every man, trader, traveller or what ever had to use this ford.
So some people build there houses near the ford to trade with them who used the ford, and so it became to be a village that everybody called "Erph´s ford", so, after more than 1,200 years this village is a city and is calles "Erfurt".

Sláinte!

I'm from a very small town in Idaho named after a tribe of Indians and because trappers saw footprints coming from a burned are into the white snow. It's a good place to be from..............never want to go back

Thomas Wolfe once wrote that "you can't go home again". We can add "we don't want to, to his statement.

Here, here, Maisky! Well said!!!

Eamon, here. Checking in from lovely North Wales, Pennsylvania. It is a tiny borough in the northwest suburbs of Philly. I have lived in Philly, New Jersey. Pretty boring, now that I read it. I get to travel alot though, I guess that makes up for it!

I lived in Pasadena California for 40 years before moving to Indianapolis three years ago. I have my reasons. Sometimes Peckeries have to hide.......

I'm from Texas, all over Texas (Corpus Christi, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio). I can't really say I'm "from" one of those specifically, so I'll just say I'm a Texan, born and bred

ps there r more people here from the US than I thought would be on a Celtic Radio site

I found this way back on page 9 and I though that I should bring this back to the Lime Light since we have a lot of new members join in the last month.

So here is to all the New Members. and tell us where you are from.

I'm from Flushing Michigan. The Great Lake State or Meeechigan. Seeing as our state is divided into two peninsulas (the upper and the lower) and the lower peninsula is shaped like a mitten it's the only place in the world where you can show someone where you're from by pointing to your hand.

Flushing is in the lower half of the lower peninsula and is near Flint the one time "automobile capital of the world." So many people came here to work in the shops and factories that our sayings have come from all over the United States.

But if you want a truly unique experience you want to "head upnorth, crossin' da BigMac Bridge" and spend some quality time in "yooperland." If you do get there this link could be very helpful.
