Which country/state do you live in ?
« on: July 09, 2006, 05:52:34 pm »
Hi everyone

We all Live with HIV but I'm wondering WHERE we all live.
As our AM Forum family continues to grow daily I thought it might be fun/useful to get a quick update on where folks are living, generally or specifically. Me first.
I live in Victoria, Australia in a little beach town. I also live in New Mexico, USA a couple months a year.
Who's next ?

I live in the arm pit of the south, Jackson, Tn. 83 miles east of Memphis & 127 miles west of Nashville on I-40  Jackson is'nt a particularly attractive town & with not much to do. If you call watching the grass grow "fun". I always said the best view of Jackson is in my rear view mirror. Oh, and the humidity is so bad you can almost cut the air with a knife.

Dear AM Forum Family

So great to hear from so many of you !!!
At this time we have heard folks from 5 continents,  9 countries and 19 states within the USA. 39 people in all.
WOW, we really are the world. I hope to hear from more family members as Monday is yet to dawn for many of our members.
I really enjoy hearing some details, comments or observations about your hometown.

Cheers
