if it's about being loyal, then, as everyone said, i am loyal to God and my family....if it's about what i identify with--then it's nyc and egypt..

::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth

Yeah, of course everybody is loyal to their family over everything else. So am I. That's why that's not what this poll is about. :P

I guess I feel more identity with Chicago than with Illinois since so much of Illinois is rural, suburban, small-town, farm, etc....and that's NOT me. I hestitate to call it loyalty though. Loyalty is such a strong word, and I guess my loyalties are more with family than place. That's not to say I won't miss Chicago when we move to the UK someday....I'll miss a lot about it.

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Ha ha.............maybe only me and other St. Louisians would even understand the irony of that statement!

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I enjoyed living in the UK and I will always be British - but I don't feel an affiliation to it or the place where I am living now. I'm happy and that's just about all that matters to me, really.

That's definitely a good attitude!

But don't you feel British? Or something?

I can't imagine feeling totally unaffiliated.

Yay Brooklyn. I am one generation removed from Brooklyn in my family, and I'll probably be moving there next year, although I live in the city now and grew up in Minneapolis. My dad can't understand it. :)
