I thought it'd be fun to see where we're all from, or even, if you don't mind sharing, how old we are.
If you don't feel comfortable sharing anything, then don't feel like you have to. I just thought some of us might like this, especially since I can't recall having a thread like this on the message board.
I'll start with me:
I'm turning 24 this month and am from 1 county away from St. Louis, Missouri (on the Missouri side).
Go Cardinals! Go Blues! And Rams, Please Lose!

Tennessee. As for my age, well that's classified. Lol, j/k. Let's just say that I'm younger than Coulson and May, but older than Daisy.  |

Germany. Age? Old enough to shake my head at today's youth, but young enough to still do fun stuff. (Now if that ain't vague!  ) |

From Ft. Lauderdale and have lived in NYC for 18 years. As for my age, I'll say I'm older than Bobbi but younger than Victoria Hand 😉 I lived in Coral Springs for 6 months. My parents, brother and me moved there in July of 2010 and then we moved back to St. Louis one week before Christmas because our house didn't sell back home. We had to move because my Mom's work changed HQ locations. Honestly, we loved the weather, the proximity to the beach, and the food. We hated the schools. |

The schools are very hit and miss depending on where you live. I went to a magnet school, so it was good. My parents currently live in a fancy gated community and the school there was so good it had a show made about it on MTV(!) But yeah, Florida is kind of a wasteland for education, generally. I went to college in St. Louis, btw! Lived there for theee years (did junior year abroad) 😃 |

I went from having all A's and B's to F's in all classes but one, which was Air Force JROTC. |

Originally from Denver, but for more than half my life I've lived where the USAF told me to live (both my career and my wife's which is still ongoing). Currently reside in Arkansas.
As for my age, I'm old enough to be retired from the military but not yet on Social Security (but I probably got you all beat) :-)

I've learned to cope quite well with both so it's one of my greatest regrets that I couldn't join. |

Coral Springs High School. They only had two actual Special Ed teachers who I went to for help when I needed it. |
