Poll of Where members live

[Edward Tinker]

I will be very general and yet try to hit the many geographical locations.

No personal information is stored, you can cast a 'vote' once and then see the graph.

A poll by state would be interesting too.

Bob, I thought about that, you can add 20 poll items at a time, I am unsure if you can add another 30?

Remind me in a couple of weeks or you start a poll in a couple of weeks?

[awesome]

What about Croatia. There are 4 (four)!!!! of us at least.

Hi Ed,
Par usual, I am confused. You mentioned 20 at a time and that 30 might be too much. I understand the 20 listed, however if I understand present management knowledge base, it would be an additional 57 vs.30. Best to you and check six.

If I interpret the poll results correctly, it seems that our European forum has been overrun by American members

No, no, no. You don't understand.

Anywhere in the world, if you ask a Texan where he is from, they won't say America or the US. We always say "Texas".

Texas was a sovereign nation before it became a state.

Bob asked me if we could do one for the states. (Thus why I quoted him ) So, I am able to do a poll for 20 items; 50-20 = 30

Now, if we count the territories, its 5 or 6?

but basic answer is 50 states.


I tried to include, and put Slovakia under eastern europe (no offense), because I have never been there, I get confused.

Amazing that the poll has been seen 255 times and only xx responses..... Of course I think it counts each visit as a new visit.

Texans were the only soldiers in Iraq that drove vehicles flying their state flag!

Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Look at Texas with me just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast , and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it they know what it is. It's Texas . Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt and he'll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You might get it maybe after a second or two, but who else would? And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?

In every man, woman and child on this planet, there is a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride off in a pickup. There is a little bit of Texas in everyone.

Texas is the Alamo ... Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the cause of freedom.

We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie and Davy Crockett, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand and they decided to cross it and be heroes.

John Wayne paid to do the movie himself . That is the Spirit of Texas .

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana at San Jacinto .

Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett and Sam Houston National Forests .

Texas is breathtaking mountains in the Big Bend, and Guadalupe National Park .

Texas is the unparalleled beauty of bluebonnet fields in the Texas Hill Country.

Texas is floating the rivers of the Hill Country on a hot summer day.

Texas is the beautiful, warm beaches of the Gulf Coast of South Texas.

Texas is beaches you can drive on and have many memorable bon-fires with close friends.

Texas is that warm feeling you get when someone asks where you're from.

Texas is the shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.

Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork .

Texas is Mexican foods like nowhere else, not even Mexico .

Texas is chicken fried steak and world famous Bar-B-Q.

Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, the Ballpark in Arlington and the Astrodome. (guess now the Reliant Stadium too)..

Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Farrah Fawcet, Janis Joplin, Sandra Bullock, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Eva Longoria, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H.. W. Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and let's not forget GEORGE STRAIT- PANTERA, the Big Bopper, Tex Ritter, George Jones, Clay Walker, Mark Chestnut, to name ONLY a few..

Texas is great companies like Dell Computer, Texas Instruments, EDS and Compaq, Whataburger, Southwest Airlines , Bell Helicopter and LOCKHEED MARTIN AEROSPACE, Home of the F-16 Jet Fighter and the JSF Fighter, Valero..

Texas is NASA.

Texas is huge herds of cattle, beautiful horses and miles of crops.

Texas is home to the world famous King Ranch (and Someday Farm)

Texas is home to the most amazing sunsets of gold over an empty field.

Texas is hundreds of deer running around neighborhoods and fields.

Texas is skies blackened with doves and fields full of deer.

Texas is a place where towns and cities shut down to watch the local high school football game on Friday nights and for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and for the night In Old San Antonio River Parade in San Antonio.

To drive across Texas is to drive 1/3 the way across the United States .

Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies, and modern cities.

If it isn't already in Texas , you probably don't need it.

No one does anything bigger or better than it's done in Texas .

By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U...S. That can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. Flag. Think about that for a second. You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland , California , or Maine , and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17 feet. You fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Klein Oak High or anyplace else at 20 feet, the Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why? Because it is the only state that was a Republic before it became a state.

Also, being a Texan is as high as being an American down here. Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in Washington , D.C. And we can divide our state into five states at any time if we wanted to!We can become a republic again at any time the voters of Texas choose, and we included these things as part of the deal when we came on.
That's the best part, right there.

Texas even has its own power grid!! And don't even lie to yourself... Did I mention Live music capitol of the world?

GOD BLESS TEXAS !

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Hugh, you captured it perfectly. Thumbs up from one Texan to another.

Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Ann Richards, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Farrah Fawcet, Janis Joplin, Sandra Bullock, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Eva Longoria, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H..

Gosh Hugh, after reading all that a Virginian like me is left kinda speechless. All Virginians have to look back on are the likes of:

George Rogers Clark, Patrick Henry, "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, George Mason, Richard Henry Lee, John Marshall, Winfield Scott, Jubal Early, A.P.Hill, Stonewall Jackson, Fitzhugh Lee, Robert E. Lee, John Mosby, J.E.B. Stuart, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and a few artists like Edgar Allen Poe, Kate Smith, Patsy Cline, Pearl Bailey, and Ella Fitzgerald.

It sort of leaves us with a feeling of inadequacy when compared to the likes of Ann Richards.

Two years ago my wife and I rode our bikes across Texas, El Paso to Kountze. It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Regards, Norm

Well in addition to what George said, there is another view point. If it were not for the boys from Tennnessee, Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina, those in Texas would be speaking Spanish and reporting to Mexico City. Advance notice - we are not going to save you a second time.

[Hugh]

George,
Sorry about that, putting Ann Richards name in that list was a gross oversight!!!

"If it were not for the boys from Tennnessee, Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina, those in Texas would be speaking Spanish and reporting to Mexico City. Advance notice - we are not going to save you a second time. "

And a great big THANKS to all of them!!!
Better gather them all up again and send them to California!!!

[A.Mifsin]

At least Europe is in second place

Hi Charlie,
If the economy continues to spiral downwards, the tables might get turned...Texas might be doing the "saving".
Best Regards, Don
