I was just musing about and appreciating the area I currently live in and how I arrived here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) . Then I was wondering how far from your childhood homes the rest of you are.

I'm about 100 miles away from where I spent my first 18 years. Born in Whittier, CA, grew up in La Habra, CA, moved to Carlsbad, CA in 1973. How about you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ?

What if we're not done growing up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I grew up in Pasadena. I live in Irvine during the school year and Pasadena during the off season. So about 45 minutes.

I was born about 5 miles from where I live.
But spent most of the first 18 years 150 miles north of here.

Ha! I grew up in the sticks outside of Mosinee, went to HS in Wausau! That is a very disturbing situation...i said many thanks after i heard my father and brother made it out of the woods OK. Do you still have any family in Wausau?

Where I was born? Or where I grew up? I was born in Omaha Nebraska but was here the following year and been here since. So it is all in how you look at it. My family is spread all over the states, mostly Texas but I remained here.
