A simple request...

Would you guys and gals mind giving your location in your profile? It often helps to interpret your posts! I promise the MINI police won't arrive on your doorstep to steal your baby. They already know where it is.

To do it, click on User CP to the left this post, then Edit Profile.

Thanks...

Even just your state you live in other than confusion, denial or insanity. We all live there at least a little while each day.

I'm in a constant state of confusion but my profile does show a real geographic area. Deb's suggestion is useful especially for those listing stuff for sale.

I know what daffodildeb means. It is tricky responding sometimes without having a geographic location available.

That way when someone from Northern Californis complains about the heat, I can have a good laugh.

Then someone from Canada can laugh when folks from Texas complain about the cold.

I guess it depends WHERE in Texas you are. I spent basic training in San Antonio during July and August. The humidity was the killer, but the temp was never as high as the average August day in Sacramento, which ranged from 105º to 115º.

Well see thats just it, I can be in many geographic locations a multi state road trip is not uncommon for me the most accurate location for me really is the Pearl. And UJ ALWAYS has a DC next him wether he be in CA or Indy or TX or NC or even Milwuakee

Bring on the HEAT!! It isn't truly summer until it's regularly topping 100.

and the scary part is that Redding usually runs 5-10 degress higher than us in the summer.

I agree with daffodildeb. I'd also like to know the areas in which some of you live. It's not a unreasonable request. I gave the sho-me state (Missouri) in my profile because I thought everyone was supposed to give at least a general area in which they live. It helps me visualize you and your Mini's stories in a more focused way.

I love your MINI's names. Twiggy, I get. And Emma? Perhaps you were a fan of the Avengers? I know I was!

Thanks for the request deb, I concur.
Even the difficult old timers , often have a clue as to their location (UJ has it in his sig, Sndwave in his subtitle.

Melancholy, I'm heading south. Prepare. (you might be in danger, but I'm allergic to anything below Santa Barbara.)
