Hi Dee - I'm from Massachusetts too. Supposed to have a nice couple of days - hopefully melt some of the snow we just got!

Hey, I'm from Warsaw, it's good to have someone from Poland at the group too :)



Heh Tara, I'm guessing the unpredictable weather over this side of the world (I'm England rather then Northern Ireland) which mainly concentrates on cold and wet is a bit different to what you're used to :)

Well I hate the heat so I'm generally happy with the weather over here (but even our summer get's too hot for me sometimes!)
I'm from Poland. And the weather is... hmmmm... Let's say that it's been getting crazy for two weeks and it's not going to change this week, either. One day some snow and the next one - some sunshine. But c'mon. We've got the first day of Spring today! Hope to ride a bicycle soon. ;)


My guess would be most people are located in English speaking countries... :)

I thought about doing an online map but then got frustrated when all I found was maps that only separated the US into states but pretty much all the other countries just had the country. Bah!
(I know the US is huge and needs it but it was a matter of principle that I from Yorkshire is not the same pin as someone from London, or even Lancashire! ;o) )
Also I only found personal maps so if you had one pin for a country than that's all you could put ... but then I didn't do a huge amount of research so there could be some out there.

LOL,
But at least this person new it is the same part of the world ;), when it comes to Poland, there are people who believe it is somewhere on the North Pole, I met such opinions personally LOL

HAHAHAHAHHA! And lets talk about prejudices. When I was living in Montreal, a guy asked me whether I shaved my legs and underarm. Apparently French girl are supposed to be hairy. I almost answered : no it's only the portuguese and the german girls! Haha!!
