New Englanders Check In

[TrueQ]

Hoo haw, I suppose.

I'm a Massachusetts myself, I did know Maine broke away from Mass a while ago. I remember someone telling me that Mass allowed it because we thought to ourselves, "They're all just like us in Maine anyway, so it'll be kind of like we get some extra Senate votes." We're crafty that way.

 

[Ranter]

And to think, all this time, I thought Maine broke away from Mass. because it would get us one step closer to become part of Canada. lol

 

[vikimo]

Heeyyy.. I'm from New York GB

 

[Ranter]

Your from New York ?!!!
That's OK, we promise not to hold that against you.

Just kidding

 

[vikimo]

Hahaha..thanks

Hello fellow New Englanders!!

Nice to meet you all
Wolf

(From NH btw!!)

 

[Ranter]

Hi neighbor to the south.

 

[PetraFan007]

Wow...very few New Englanders here.... does this really prove how cold (spiritually) New England is? Anyways...checking in here...I'm from Woburn, MA....12 miles NW of Boston.

HELLO PetraFan007

 

[Wolflily]

Yeah, PetraFan, you may be right. Cuz it surely isn't because New Englanders aren't forum geeks like everyone else on the planet!

Hi Ranter! How's life up north?

What's new peoples?! Some hot and sticky and all around gross weather these couple of days, huh? I'm heading for the beach tomorrow to swim the humidity away!!

 

[PetraFan007]

It makes me quite angry and frustrated that there are not many born again Christians in New England (compared to other parts of the country), but this is another can of worms. Anyways, what a post for my 300th. Heh!

 

[KristiXP]

Yeah, PetraFan, you may be right. Cuz it surely isn't because New Englanders aren't forum geeks like everyone else on the planet!

Hi Ranter! How's life up north?

What's new peoples?! Some hot and sticky and all around gross weather these couple of days, huh? I'm heading for the beach tomorrow to swim the humidity away!!

I can't complain about the weather. I'll take humidity over rain any day. Plus, if I get too hot all I have to do is go down to the lake.

 

[Wolflily]

Kristi, you are lucky! I used to live 15 minutes from the ocean and got a bit spoiled. I'm a half hour away now, and it's not as easy to just jump in the car and go, especially if I can't find a parking spot!!

PetraFan, it's abominable that NE is so dry. It's a veritable Spiritual wasteland. I visited relatives in Florida last year and couldn't believe how many cars with fish on them were going by and how many Christian radio stations there are. Up here, it's almost a guarantee that if you even say "God" or "Jesus" or even "church" in everyday conversation, people look at you like you're a zealot. Kinda lonely sometimes, huh?

 

[TrueQ]

I wouldn't say it's terribly dry (says the pagan), I'm sitting right in between a Baptist, a Methodist, and a Catholic church, each one can be described as "Just down the street". The Baptist one is the best, I live in a pretty black neighborhood and they've got some of that ole Southern flair going on.

On the other hand, what are you people crazy!? What this region needs is some torrential downpour. In fact, I don't think I would have any aversion to a hurricane right about now.

 

[Wolflily]

You're not being clear, True. Are you a pagan or a Christian and if we just said the region is dry and you called us crazy, why would you be agreeing with us by saying we need a downpour?
Help me out here!

 

[TrueQ]

I thought I was pretty clear anyway. I am a pagan, but I'm living in a Christian soaked area.

The other part is me just wishing for more rain!

 

[Wolflily]

I wish it were Christian soaked!! Please. You should visit the deep south sometime if you think this place is overloaded with Christians!!

 

[knuckle50]

hey guys, im from westwood, mass. its near boston right around the 128 loop.

yeah haha, christian soaked... i lived in georgia for a year i know what thats really like. the ironic thing is that they think catholics are more religious! haha... i think new england is one of the least christian soaked regions of the world

 

[Wolflily]

It totally is knuckle! It's so liberal up here and angry. A lot of anger around here. You must really see it where you live, right near Boston. I always get the heebie jeebies driving anywhere near Boston, esp. 93, 128 & 495. Scary stuff!

 

[ditzie]

Hi Everyone! I'm from Western Mass. Skaat, where do you live? I'm in Belchetown.
