Does anyone have a list of all the abbreviations of USA states? I know I could probably find one somewhere on the net, but some of you just might have one handy!? I think I know only about half of them. :o
Thanks! :)

Spencer the Lion! Thanks a lot, just what I wanted! Now I can see where everybody is from! :D
Hope you're feeling better today. Are you keeping your diet! ;)
What a good idea Randi :D
Thanks again Chuck for coming up with just the right link - I had been wondering where ND was - so it's North Dakota eh?:) :)

Lynnestankard! I'm glad you don't think I'm a moron for asking. Like spencer says: It's confusing with all the ones starting with M.
Interesting also to know about the East and Westcoast, I bet not many Europeans know this. :)
Wondering where North Dakota was! Can you believe I used to live there! Your not missing much by not knowing where it is!Quote:

That site is just terrific. Recently with all of the negative in the news it depresses me. I had the thought that I wondered if it was just as bad the year I was born. (there will be no discussion of "which" year).
I logged on my birth year - and the news/headlines were just as depressing as today. I guess we haven't learned much since I was born. We are still fighting, only now it is in the middle east and Afghanistan instead of someplace else.
Maybe we should move Pettalkville to ND - there may not be a lot happening there - but at least it is a sane place.
:o Ya know sad to say there are a lot of us who live here in the U.S. who didn't know that either.:o ;) ;) :DQuote:

Thanks, SpencerTheLion. I couldn't figure out the US states starting with 'M' ...now I'll know which is what!:)

Couple of typo's in the stat names there, kiddo - should be Wisconsin=WI
Arkansas=AR
and it's New Mexico!=NM
but otherwise a good list!
The list Spencer linked to has some ones, like Guam, that aren't actually states - Guam, which is in the Pacific ocean west of Hawaii but East of Japan, is not a state, it's a "protectorate" as are a couple others on that lists. Gets confusing!
Thank you, Karen!!! :) ;) Oops, I noticed the typos!:o Sorry!Quote:

..and there are lot's of local spots that aren't that well known to "outsiders" either. Around here (mid-Atlantic) if you refer to the Eastern Shore it means the east side of the Chesapeake Bay. If you refer to the west side you simply write western shore (with no caps):confused: Everybody knows the Eastern Shore is where you get the best corn, blue crabs, asperagoose etc.:p :D
When I cannot sleep at night (which unfortunately is alot of the time) I recite the states in aphabetical order. If that doesn't do it, I recite the state capitals in alpha order.
Consequently, I'm very good at trivia games about the states (e.g. the four state capitals with the word "city" in them.) But I still can't sleep!
Sara, I stole your idea and did the same - now I see why got stuck on B and J. Must admit I had problems when I got to D, too. ;) But I cheated and used cities (Denver).
I wonder how you US folks would do with European countries? :eek: LOL!
What exactly is Spencer the Lion? I did a search and found another pet site, this one saying "Talk Pets!" Hmmmmm...
Where does it give the states' abbreviations?
That is a former member, who left several years ago:)Quote:
