Hmmm, is it just me or are there two threads with the exact same name?

I grew up near San Francisco, California. Have lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania since 2000.

Hello hello

Hi. I’m new to the group. I grew up south of New York state. But I moved to Peterborough England when I was 19. I just turned 37 years old. So I’ve lived in England for almost half my life now.

kristen81 · January 31, 2018, 2:56pm

Hey… very coincidental, I lived in Pennsylvania til I was 19. Then moved to England

kristen81 · January 31, 2018, 2:58pm

Oh… forgot to mention the coincidental part. I moved away from Pennsylvania in 2000.

Ever look back and wonder who that interesting and daring person was? Haha, I’m definitely still interesting, albeit in a different way, but definitely not daring like that!

kristen81 · February 1, 2018, 9:21am

Yes. Definitely. I’ve had my confidence beaten down then built up so many times I can’t remember how many times. I just keep moving forward. No point looking back. Just keep swimming.

Born in Ohio grew up in Akron, living in Northern Vermont for 25+ years. Those are some deep AA roots, though I got the chronology backwards!

I hope you don’t think “NoVA” means “No VA”.

I live in Northern Virginia, about 3 hours from Salem.

kristen81 · February 3, 2018, 9:12am

When I first read Nova I thought you meant Nova Scotia …

Took a bit for this Boston Lad to get used to all the abreviating that goes on in my area. Kept looking on the map for a place called “DelMarVa”, which means “Delaware/Maryland/Virginia”. Weather reports would say “expect 6-12 inches of snow in the DelMarVA area.”

The southern part of our state doesn’t call itself “SoVA”. Not sure why we say “NoVA”. Just lazy I guess. Might have something to do with the fact that Richmond, the Capitol is the center of political power, but NoVA is the big economic center.
