Maybe this is dumb, but I'd think it's nice, and maybe we can find people close to us who we get together with or something....
I have been noticing in posts some of us are discussing where we are located. And I know it shows in the top right corner where we area, but it's so spread out, if you didn't happen to be in that post you would never know.
But if anyone would like to post where they are, I think it'd be a great way for us to make some good friends!

wow, thanks for posting ladies.
Hopefully some more will post.
It's neat to think how we all seem to be so close talking daily, or fighting like cats and dogs, but realizing how far apart we truly are. Thank goodness for technology.

Actually, there are several states that have a higher income tax rate than Illinois. They should have tried to cut spending first, though, before they approved such a large tax increase.Chicago - gotta love the high cost of living and having the highest state tax in the us.
