Fun Birthday Trivia: The earliest birthday parties in history were held because people thought that evil spirits would visit them on their birthdays. They stayed close to their family and friends for protection. Later parties became social gatherings where friends and family would bring gifts or flowers to the person having their birthday. Today birthday parties are held just for fun!

Absolutly not...hehe...no I've lived in Many States...and currently Im in CA and would LOVE to move somewhere new!!! Maine would be fabulous!!
Wow.. really well glad birthdays are just for fun now! lol and as far as do I live in the same town I was born nope I do still live in the same state though :) Does that count? lol.. Was born in the City in New York now I'm out in Long Island,NY!
Nope...but the next town over. I live in Arlington Tx which hosts the Dallas Cowboy stadium, Texas Ranger Stadium, Six Flags, and Hueeican harbor...much to do and love my city!
I live one town over now. Even if I were living in my 'baby home,' it would not be the same town. The hospital was one town over from my house, but in the opposite direction than the one I'm living in now. (This makes perfect sense in my mind, but is confusing on paper. Sorry.)
Nope, anywhere but that town!
Hi - I love the questions and the prizes !!
No I got married and moved to a rural area and LOVE it !!

No...I was born in Dallas, TX, but raised in Oceanside, CA with a short time in Hawaii. I love So Cal and can't imagine living anywhere else. Nancy in SO Cal
No I do not live in the town I was born in. My parents lived in the city when I was born and decided they wanted to bring up their children in the country. They moved to the next town over and I grew up on a farm two houses from where I live now. Thanks for all the great give-away prizes. Very Exciting Day! Happy B-Day
No, that was over 3,000 miles away. God bless!

I do not live in the same town or state where I was born. Have lived in almost every section of the USA and even overseas but now am settled in a state "next door" to the the one I was born in.
no... moved after getting married... I don't even live in the same country now..
I no longer live in the same town I was born in... but it was kinda cool that my husband and myself and our daughter were all born at the same hospital.
No, we moved from Massachuetes when I was 4 to California.....I've lived in several towns since then....Love where I am now! So. Cal is great even if the state is falling apart financially....yikes! : = )
I do - so boring - but I love this area!
Nope, my dad was in college at the time and I was born at the university hospital.

Nope, but my mom & dad and my brother do! So I do like going home to visit :)
I was born in Chicago, then moved to and grew up in Green Bay. I am now back in the Chicago 'burbs!
...no.....we left the cold snowy western NY/buffalo area for a warmer North Carolina climate 10 years ago....not one regret!
I actually never lived in the town I was born in! I was raised in a small no-hospital town, so my parents made a 30 minute drive to a bigger town with a hospital. Now I live 3000 miles away on the East coast of the U.S., but I'll always be a West coast girl at heart!
Sadly I do not even live in the country I was born (Bermuda) let alone the city. I love my new home (BC canada) and wouldn't trade it for the world.. altho, there's no place quite like home....
Nope... grew up in MN and was transplanted to WI. I miss the cities though.

No...I grew up in a military family and moved very often!! I was born in England and now have lived in Texas for many years.
No, I don't, but my dad does (he was actually born there, too), so I get to visit. Thx for the chance to win!
No but I live very close to that town. I live in a farming community now.

Yup still here! Left and came back. Sometimes I still wonder why!
I live in San Diego, CA. Always have, always will.
My job was me away from my hometown but I don't live very far.
Scrapbises.
No I don't. There just isn't much opportunity there, although our parents still live there and it's not that far away, so we visit fairly often.
Nope, I was born in Asia, educated in North America and now lives in Europe.
Shoot no - I was born in Europe! :) Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)
I've moved at least 5 times in my life, and lived in 5 different states! I would love to move somewhere warmer in the next few years! Last move!
No, but I visit often.
I don't think I'd call Montreal a town, but yep, I still live in the city where I was born.
No, far from it ... both in terms of number of moves and location. I'm midway across the nation from where I was born, in Boston MA. And, let's see ... a rough guess has 14 moves so far, tho' I've been in this location the longest - now 20 years! My, how time flies when you're having fun!
Thanx for the inspiration and blog candy opp ... this trip down memory lane's been fun!

Yes, I live in the same town I was born in.
No, I moved far from home when I went away to college.
No ...have moved tons and tons of times!!!
I was born in a hospital near a military base and we moved shortly after I was born. I've actually never "been" there that I can remember. Weird!
