As a combat vet I have nothing but the highest reguard and respect for medics and corpsman,Please let him know I said that tex.

By this small poll I have to conclude in joeuser land there are many members of the "nomads":

In answer to your title question, yes and no.  An interesting Jeopardy statistic is that over 50% of the people in the US live within 50 miles of their birthplace.  That is not nomadic in any sense of the word.

However, that also means that almost 50% of the people dont live within 50 miles of their birthplace, so they are very nomadic.

gee doc confuse me more than I already am lol

Wow. I've moved a lot, but pretty much all within the same area. I've lived in Newport News and Hampton Virginia (which means, I've pretty much lived in Newport News lol), then last spring I moved to Indiana. Not that huge of a deal... no ocean though, which I dearly miss. I like moving from time to time. I end up broadening my horizions so much that it works out really well for me in the end. I know I'm going to be in Indiana for at least 5-7 years finishing up college and stuff. After that, who knows?

Let's see...
Baltimore, MD (born and raise)
San Jose, CA (Dad got a job assignment)
Baltimore, MD again (assignment ended, moved back)
Northfield, MN (went to college)
Baltimore, MD again (graduated, moved home)
Elsewhere in Baltimore, MD (moved out of my parents' house)
Minneapolis, MN (decided to really strike out "on my own"; moved in with some college friends)
Eagan, MN (got my own apartment)
Elsewhere in Minneapolis, MN (moved in with my woman)
Elsewhere again in Minneapolis, MN (we got a nicer apartment)
Eden Prairie, MN (woman left, moved in with a different college friend)
Elsewhere in Eden Prairie, MN (roommate bought a house, I moved with him)
Bloomington, MN (roommate got married, kicked me out; moved in with my girlfriend)
Elsewhere in Bloomington, MN (got married, bought a house).

12 different addresses in 39 years, but only in 3 major metropolitan areas. (Northfield is 40 miles south of Minneapolis, all the other MN cities are really suburbs of it.)

Reply By: JillUserPosted: Thursday, April 21, 2005I have only lived in MI. My ancestors founded my home town in northern MI. I never thought I would leave other than to go to college and come back. I started school in central MI then transferred to southwestern MI and have lived in the Detroit area for about 10yrs. I am certainly not nomadic. nope karma you are not,

That was Jill's response, not mine.  Mine is response #24.  Of course, we both live in Michigan and started out up north, so I can see the confusion.  She lives in the Detroit area and I live on the West side of lower Michigan (Southwest of Ann Arbor) now.  I've only lived where I do now for about 5 years.  I will say that I like being in southern Michigan- the winters are a lot more mild.
