Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Oh yeh! I live in the middle of Northern CA! Or the south of the state of Jefferson. whatever way you want to look at it! lol Jane hi folks, It tickles me, how many answers there ate to the question, Where do you live? It really HiI am 47 years old and have been visually impaired since I was three. Now I have a dead spot in my right eye due to diabetes that blocks most of the center of my vision. My left eye is not bad enough yet to be legally blind, but I have to use a magnifer visor and large font to see to type. Plus a screen magnifer to read the regular webpages. I listen to audio books from the LOC library for the Blind and Handicapped. I listen to two books aweek while doing my housework and building websites and learning the codes to write them. html, xhtml and javascript giving me something to occupe my time through these long days in this house alone.I do not work at this time, but am looking for a part-time job. I stay home and keep house while my wife works. I also have Bipolar Disorder, OCD and Panic Anxeity Disorder. So with all this my head stays pretty messed up, but some how I manage to keep it all together. I walk from three to six miles a day at least four days a week inside( on a treadmill) or outside walking the sidewalking around the burb's lot's sidewalk to travel. I have lost seventy pounds since Thankgiving 2006, now I have to change my eating habits to lose even more and that is slow and painstaking. Well, that is where I am at these days. I have what some would call simple, but if they had to live it, OH how they would suffer. Know this I would not wish this on anyone, to me no one should this have to suffer like this. GOD knows what He is doing, and I have become a better person since this affection has invaded me. That is me for now.Terry It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 hi folks, It tickles me, how many answers there are to the question, Where do you live? It really depends a great deal on who's asking. It can be "in the house with kight blue siding, or Eastern Pa. Evem the town can change. The town I live is Stockertown, but I might answer Nazareth or Bethlehem or Easton if I think one would give an idea of where I was. I often ask two questions to people I meet. Where do you live? and where is your home? The answer is seldom the same. Bob Of Nazareth Subject: Re: This is meTo: thefatmanwalking_group Date: Friday, August 22, 2008, 8:42 PM lolol...HI Elaine!

Elaine Hi Elaine I am in Ohio. Right now I am starting to plan a dayhike sometime in Oct. It will only be 17 milesbut that will be a first dayhike for me.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 That's funny, and so true, Bob. I often say I'm from San Francisco but I'm not! That's worlds away from my little, quiet town that seldom gets fog. Elaine hi folks, It tickles me, how many answers there are to the question, Where do you live?
