Although those on this forum are obviously predominantly in the USA, there seems to be quite a large minority from the rest of the world, so out of interest where in the world do you live?

No option for those of us required to live outside the 5-mile limit
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

There cannot be many opportunities for ensemble playing there
Actually, I would have liked more options, but the system would not allow me

I live so far South in Alabama that if I moved ten miles further South, I'd be four miles out in the Gulf (guf) of Mexico.
We pronounce it Guf Coast

We are so isolated, here, that the word "booger" has become a term of endearment.
