- - The *actual* poll of Where are you From/Living (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7613)

I was born in ky but georgia is all I remember and where I spent most of my life.

So, HB, you're getting your data. What are you going to do with it? What's your theory(ies)?

So, HB, you're getting your data. What are you going to do with it? What are you curious about? What are theories (about what?)?

It's only 66 people.... Very small data set...

Oh, I know. I just noticed that you hadn't said on the first page what you wanted to discuss, specifically. You mentioned that you are looking for regional differences. It's cool if you are waiting for more to respond until you open that conversation. Or maybe you were just interested in where people live? I dunno...I am looking forward to the discussion (of whatever it is)!

Well, I'm kind of going to ask certain things when I see enough data. It has to do with concepts of "manners", masculine -feminine interactions, "respect", humour and dating rituals. But I'm going to leave off that for a while till I see more about what the demographics are... Family of origin plays a lot into that as well, which as going to be my next question lol

MelC Well the poll is on the front page ? Just to the left. "Latest poll" no? Or have people stopped seeing that part of the page...
Obviously, if you didn't see that, then perhaps people don't see that bit of the page... Fair nuff.

I was born and raised in Chicago
Seems I've spent the last 8 years like a gypsy and it has to stop
I'm ready to settle down in my forever place

Indeed. Before studying primates, I had to make an ethogram of noted behaviours before I could come up with a hypothesis and select one of those behaviour to study to prove or disprove it.

Quote:

An ethogram is a catalogue or inventory of behaviours or actions exhibited by an animal used in ethology. The behaviours in an ethogram are usually defined to be mutually exclusive and objective, avoiding subjectivity and functional inference as to their possible purpose.

So.... just watching....

Just bumping to keep on front page as Mel C suggested...

I was born in Florida, then adopted at 3 months and taken to Savannah, Georgia, where I was raised, so I consider myself a "native Savannian". The area South of the North Carolina outter banks, along the coast and all the way to the beaches of the Georgia/Florida state line is frequently referred to as the Southern "Lowcountry", and we have our own distinctive culture and unique Southern drawl (particularly those from the Charleston and Savannah areas). I should say that neither of my parents (adopted) are from the South. My father (second generation Chinese) was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and my mother (second generation Swedish) is from the Mississippi River area in southwestern Illinois. They met and married while both were in college at the University of Illinois (Champagne/Urbana). From what I have learned from the non-identifying information about my birth parents, my blood lineage comes from southeast Georgia (again, the "lowcountry") and is of Irish/Native American blood.

I left Savannah when I joined the military and only went back to live in Savannah briefly, after I was discharged. I've lived all over the country, during my lifetime, from Florida (Jax) to Maine, Louisiana (northern), Iowa/Illinois, both southern and northern California and now Nevada. Still, my heartstrings are attached to Savannah and if it were not for the heat, humidity and bugs, I would want to go back. I miss the South, but I can't seem to reconcile myself to living with all of those things. I'll always be a Southern Boy at heart, tho. :winky:

The wife and I are pondering the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Montana, etc.), now that we are both retired. I think a road trip may be in order for us to explore that soon. :pirate-steer:

Bumping to front page

thats all... Just a bit of a hip jostle...

There are 4,883 members today. I know some no longer come here and some don't post and some were a flash in the pan...

but if 20% of the people are still here and read... that's 1000 people. I doubt that many read and post regularly, lets say 20%... that's still 200 people. 100 have responded to the poll.

be a mate and let us know where your voice has had it's most influence in it's values and ideas.

I have spent all of my life in Ohio (except for a year living outside of Houston, TX) and just moved to Atlanta, GA last month.

People seem generally more friendly here. It surprised me when I walked into a Walgreens and three people welcomed me. It happens wherever I go. My girlfriend and I went back to Ohio this past weekend and she made the comment that our customer service sucked and people weren't as friendly. I had to agree with her. However, this friendliness does not include Atlanta drivers (They scare me). ;)

I was born in Connecticut, but we returned to NYC, my father's place of origin, immediately thereafter. My mother was from Albany, NY. My family moved around a great deal during my early years but kept circling back to NYC. We landed in a L.I. suburb of NYC where I stayed until I left for greener pastures in NYC as a young teenager. I signed the lease on my first NYC apartment at 17, so I think I have a right to call myself a native New Yorker.

You are trouble, mrs....
