Also late to read this post, though I did put myself on the Frappr map several weeks ago.
I was pleased to see somebody else from MS –
hi, Emmy!

I live and work in Cambodia but am originally from Ireland. A development volunteer is what I am!

I live and work in the white working-class southeastern suburbs of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin. Who I am is more a product of Madison, but by some odd twist of fate, I ended up here and will likely remain for the forseeable future despite not really fitting in. The upside is that people here are not really terribly self-conscious about their physical appearance or how they present themsevles. (Yes, you correctly detected a bit of cultural-elitist snark there.)

of course, i’m a little late to the party…

i’m in oklahoma city. we have an entertainment area here called bricktown, full of restaurants, recreation, cultural things to do, and nearby we have the ford center, where we hope we’ll have an nba team here soon. our mayor challenged the citizens to lose weight. go to http://www.thiscityisgoingonadiet.com for info on that.

and i’m not even from here originally! however, growing up in southern california, you get the message that “thin is in”. if by thin they mean damn near anorexic, then i’d rather rubenesque than skeletal, thanks.

I am a late comer to the comments here but I thought I would put my two cents worth in anyway! I am in Victoria, Australia.

*waves to the other Aussies*

Between me and shapelywench (Victoria), sarahau and lindra (SA) rosiecakes (NSW) rachel and meg (WA) and choochoobear (TAS) we only need people in NT and QLD, oh and the ACT, to cover Australia! lol

Oh Snap, (and anyone else who would like to know) the PDX meetup is going to be on Saturday, May 24 at 1 P.M. I will probably make an announcement about it on Fat Fu, but in the meantime you can E me for details.
