Wish I found this thread earlier. I'm from Hyde Park, MA. It's a part of Boston like JP. Hiya JPgramma!!

Hi to everyone else from MA!

Donut, happy belated birthday! I'm sorry I missed it. I've been checking in at TVCH every night, but I'm way behind on things, so haven't posted in a while.

Cinder, you picked bad timing to leave APS school system now that our pay is shooting up--and I mean REALLY shooting up. In 4-5 years I'll be almost double what I'm making now. Come back, come back!

Shedances, just saw your message, LOL! Picture this, soakin' in the hot springs, margaritas in our hands, a computer at the edge of the spring and our cordless headphones are on....aawww, how cool that would be!

DeeDee, great work in your summary. I love to see where everyone is from and your summary sure makes it possible.

:) I was wondering, at first, why you put Canada after each of our provinces as I assume Americans know the names of canadian provinces just as we canadians know which are the American States without seeing USA?

but then I noticed that you did not put canada after nova scotia...have they seceded? :):):) We would miss them because it is a heck of a beautiful province.

Jan, while I do sincerely believe you...that most Canadians know where all the states are, unfortunately the majority of US citizen do not know where all the Canadian provinces are let alone their names. For example; I had a neighbor (when I lived in NC) who was from Alabama (not to down Alabama, mind you) and she did not realize that Alaska is not "connected" to the US (nor Hawaii for that matter)...she then asked "how do we rule over them if we're not connected?". That whole convo got started when she saw Canadian paper money on my kitchen table and asked who Queen Elizabeth was and "why is she on their money?" I nearly choked when she didn't know that Alaska was not 'connected' though.

Mind you, I'm not downing our educational system because I had great teachers and my kids have great teachers. I'm downing many parents who do not emphasize the importance of the world around them...they tend to only think that what is important is what goes on in their own little neighborhood and do not see the importance of our global neighborhood.

Maybe Deedee was just looking out for those sorts. :OD

Jan, I hope I haven't caused Nova Scotia to seceed! (missed putting the Canada after Nova Scotia). I put the Canada after the provinces because *some* Americans are REALLY bad with geography.

Cangaroo, I was posting at the same time that you were. Currently I live in Alabama. I had someone ask me if I needed a passport for my trip to California. (?!?!?!) I guess they thought because I was flying that I needed a passport. (I dunno)

Oh Deedee, are you the only educated one there? (Just teasing I hope you know), LMAO...speaking of...I grew up in NM...when the Olympics were in Atlanta, the people selling tickets INSISTED that NM was not a state...the State of NM got a formal apology from the US Olympic Committee for their "lack of foresight in not educating their employees of the proper geography of the US". It was printed in all the NM newspapers. But the Southerners are not the only guilty ones. I've lived in WI and IN and dealt with NYers (business purposes) and NJ and they all seemed just as dense. I take it to be a country-wide lack, sad to say.

U.S. bests Germany, France for world geography title

Thursday, July 17, 2003 Posted: 11:13 AM EDT (1513 GMT)

TAMPA, Florida (AP) -- Who says Americans are lousy at geography?

Three U.S. teenagers won the gold medal Wednesday in the National Geographic World Championship, beating teams from Germany and France to successfully defend the U.S. title in a contest held every two years.
