How many states have you visited?

ouch!!! Poor little door didn't know what was coming did it?

I am sure glad your little one is ok though. Sounds like you will have to have a memorial service for your door and bury it in the State of Psilo.

States: PA, NJ, TX, CA (where I live), OR, WA, CO, AZ, WY, CO, LA, AL, MS (Mississippi), FL, OH, UT,NV, not very many.

Countries: Spain, England, Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbijian, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua.

Let's see.....First off I travel by roadway no... Interstates unless absolutely nesessary....and 99 % on my 'scooter'
I fully believe that it is the journey ,not the destination.
Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Dakota, Arizona, Texas, California, Nevada, Kansas, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida (as far as I could go).

I do want to go N.W. and see the rain forests and stuff. Some buddies of mine went to Alaska,but Too cold for my liking.
Prob missed a few states on my list...later,SB

Just looked at a US map and counted 37 states that I have visited.

Has this thread become too wide, or do I need to readjust my quadrifocals?

Ya hey goldog =)

I thought it was something I had done. I think we need wide screen monitors

Maybe we can go to the movie theater for use of the wide screen.:)

Ok, let's see...IL, MO, KS, CO, WY, NM, TX, OK, AR, LA, MI, AL, KY, TN, OH, PA, NY, DE, MD, VA, WV, FL, GA, SC, NC, NJ, MA, IA, WI, NE, MI, IN, and HI. I think that's 33. I have lived in 5 of those states. The rest I have visited.
I also went to Germany, Austria and France.

looks like 1/2 " wider

2.5 inches wider for me. Maybe it will be wrap around by the morning.

Scooterbug, You should check out New England on one of your trips. :)

Wast ist? I get a good view of the whole DG screen. Am I missing somethin'?

Bird, who ain't very up om computers and techology.

You asked, (well somebody did) ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, NY, MD, NC, SC, GA, FL, CO, WY, RI,and NB, NS, PEI, NF. 80% were 20 years ago. Would like to see Newfoundland again. Maybe GA or FL in Feb? I bet you guys don't get 20 below as normal. Frank.

Only one person that's posted has ever been to North Dakota! Come on you guys. I'm feeling really isolated here. LOL

Didn't you ever wanna see the deer and the antelope play?

Hey Joan, I've been to ND, I just didn't list individual states!!
Deb

Oh thank you Deb! LOL I was feeling so very lonely.

and Joan? I have been to North Dakota multiple times. Does that make you feel any better?

(Shhhhh, nobody tell Joan that I visited ND on my way to my Grandparents in Minn.)

wider screen? think I am missing something too. What browser/screen resolution are you on?

it has now rectified itself.

I'm using 800 x 600 I think

I would change the browser/screen resolution on the computer if I knew how, and if all the forums/threads were this wide. Only this thread is very wide.

North Dakota? Is that any where near South Dakota? I hope to visit that area one of these years.

Bird

Golddog you dont need to change the resolution but most web sites, I think, are done so they look best 800x600, I think again LOL. It can all be done very simply from your desk top

someone else may want to comment about resolution

Wow, what Travellers we have here! I think I have been to all states but HI and AK, and one trip to Cuba before the embargo. Plus, some of Canada from Toronto to Ottawa.

Just after WWII when I was 6, we made an extensive trip up and down and across the US that took most of a year. It was with a friend of my mother's who's husband was a window decorator. We had a 40' Zimmerman travel trailer pulled by some kind of coupe with a rumble seat, and I saw the US from the rumble seat.

The 5 of us (they had a daughter a bit older than I was) would go to one town where Gene would solicit business. He'd bring all the old fabrics back to the trailer park(s) and my mother and his wife would clean and mend them. Then off to the next town, where he's use the now clean and mended fabrics to do it all over again.

My dad was in the Navy, and I've lived in a zillion places in the US both as a child, and on my own as an adult. Plus for many years I was in sales and marketing and covered a lot of the US that way.

I still like the Appalachian mountains the best.

I am a state light weight visiting or living in five plus Canada B.C.

I did do a train trip that let me see many states from the tracks but next time I will buy a ticket and get a window seat.

I have been in more far east countries than states.

I now reside in the state of confusion.

And scooterbug this ones for you. What a shame you missed the Alaska trip with your friends. Summers are not that cold I have fished there in my shirt sleeves many times and even went swimming once in the saltwater.

The Matanuska valley grows some fantistic garden things due to good soil and extremly long daylight. That valley is on my list of places to go see. Ernie

mentioning well travelled reminds me of skewl daze when for punishment we had to write 500 word essay on a subject set by the teacher. One guy was given the topic 'A country I would like to and why?'

He started off by writing

"A country I would like to visit is Afghanistan .......
Zimbabwe ( listing all countries. I would like to visit
Afghanistan ....... Zimbabwe ( listing all countries) because
...." It wasnt accepted for obvious reasons.

This thread got very wide on me too. I don't know why or how to fix it for good, but to make it easier to read while it is so wide you can select view -> text size -> smaller. The problem is that then you have to go back up a size while viewing all the other (normal) threads.

I can just pull it from right to left with the bottom scroll.

this is the only thread I have found that is wide.

Yes, golddog, it is amusingly wide, but the same as you I don't find it a problem as I too can use the scroll bar

resolution can be changed through your control panel by selecting display>settings but this is only possible if you have a high resolution computer. Mine is 1024X768 which is a browser 4 but most like the 800X600 is browser 3.

Mark when you designed your website did you not make it Browser 3 compatible? ie designing the page so all the width can be seen in one go like with browser 4?

pass. can I phone a friend?

It can all be seen on screen unless someone knows different.

This thread looks just normal to me.

Ok, I will call for an appointment to have my quadrifocals looked after. This situation is becoming a little bit eerie, to say the least. Strange things do happen as the calender proceeds to the end of October.

The thread was uncommonly wide because there were three posts that had "run-on strings" of characters - states separated by commas but not spaces. A string of characters that is not broken up by spaces is treated all as one word. The forum software goes as wide as the widest word (when there's a word with more characters than the minimum width.)

Oh LOL mine's just gone back to normal too, but only in the last 10 minutes golddog

Yes, witching season is upon us ;-D

Thanks Terry, nice to have an answer to this.

Golddog, guess I'm not too late to get in on this travel bit. I have been to all but 4 of the US states, and one of the closest I haven't been to is Alaska!! have been within 20 miles when I visited my brother in the Queen Charlottes. Have been the lenghth of S. America, also Ecuador (and the islands which are part of Ecuador and i can't remember the famous name), Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, all of Canada except Northwest Territories.

Other countries, England, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, France, and probably some i have missed. Love to travel. Donna

rutholive, you may qualify as our resident travel agent with all the travel you have amassed. Doesn't travel give a new perspective on life? Just seeing our own life from afar.

Galapagos?

where in Belize have you been? Thats where my mother is from
