I'm living in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho, USA.

I grew up in Bonners Ferry, Boundary County, Idaho. It's on the Kootenai River, which is 50 miles or so from Kootenai County,

but I was born in Shelbina, Shelby County, Missouri, USA. Shelbina is close to Shelbyville, and I've always wondered who Shelby was.

Missourians used to be called Pukes, Indianians were Hoosiers and Oklahomans Sooners. And so on. I never heard what they call Idahoans, so I'm only a former Puke. I love names.

Indianers? Indianites?

It's interesting how quickly this thread moved away from the original question of "county & country." Instead, People needed to list their town or city and state or province.

I like the concept of counties. To me they are interesting divisions - often times they do have a different feel, both politically and geographically.

I was born in San Bernardino County, California. The largest county in square miles in the U.S.

I have lived in Delta County, Colorado on the sourthern edge of the Grand Mesa, Martin County, Florida with the Atlantic Ocean on the right and the Lake Okeechobee on the left, one of the U.S.'s few counties that can claim major bodies of water on either side.

I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The largest of the United States as well as the furthest north. We don't have counties in Alaska. Some of the state is divided into "boroughs" and there are some incorporated cities and towns, but most of the state is independent of local governments.

Alaska has more powerful earthquakes than California (and more often), more active volcanos than Hawaii, more lakes than Minnesota (over 3 million), and more coastline than all the rest of the United States put together. But we only have a bit more than 600,000 people living in the whole state. So there is room for anyone who wants to visit.

Camai,
Mike

Blimey what a mix. I am living in Market Rasen - my wife is 46 and Dutch, my daughters are 8 (she is Autistic) and 12. I am 58 born in Birmingham and yes a dad (my own efforts in case you might be wondering LOL) at 50, so I hold a proud record there. My parents are still alive and in a care home in Lincoln. All in all this prevents me from going out to see Folk music although I love it. Just too many other commitments.

I have to say that my wife and children love eating Kiwi's :-), but they don't like Folk music (such a shame)

Cleethorpes - that's our quick visit to the seaside job to keep the kids happy.

Gainsborough - my brother lives in Lea so I go to Gainsborough reasonably often.

As for Wales - they always get overlooked (Ah). The Gower Peninsula is one of my favourite areas.

Time to stop. Thanks for messages. :-)

I'm an Aussie born and bred - always lived somewhere in NSW. Born in Parkes, spent my childhood in Goulburn, then moved to Sydney so my parents could send me to a prestigious high school, which I hated. Then got married, lived in various places on the Central Coast, then a year in Kempsey (which was one year too long), then back to Sydney. For the last 25 years I lived in the Ryde/Gladesville area, and am now in the Inner West, in Earlwood.

The description of myself was a joke but I haven't figured out the usage of the funny little marks that lets everyone know you're kidding.

Obviously I haven't figured out alot of things (especially about discussion forums). Be patient with me.

I have noticed that nobody answered the question about age. My guess is an average age of over 40. Myself 56 going on 14! Which is a bonus. I thought I was 57. Its a good thing to get at least a year younger on your birthday.

I'm from the US (Rhode Island, originally). My husband, Jack the Sailor, is from Newfoundland, Canada. We now live in Alabama (US) but that could change at any time. The Mudcat locator says I'm in West Virginia, and I need to change that, but I think I'll wait until I think I'll be somewhere long enough to make it worthwhile.

Another international site which many mudcats find their way to is
www.paltalk.com We conduct "jams" there in the "music rooms" and if
you have a microphone and speakers you can "chime in" if so inclined.
Amazing use of technology! A room I often host there in the music
area is "Mudcat Live Acoustic Jam" which is often populated by a lively mix of musical characters from all over the globe. You might hve better luck finding us if you click on "Adult" . I plan to open that room on Thursday night, as I often do. Look for announcements in the forum.

Villan..Mudcat and the database originated and developed on the east coast of the US,(the 'server' is in eastern Pennsylvania) but it didn't take long before it was world-wide, and there is an amazing bit of cross-cultural meeting happening now. A lot of the UK folk 'indulge' in both the chat room and banter on the threads, it seems...partially because they know each other RT.
