I've been skimming, and it made me wonder: from all the places that you've lived in, when you say the word "Home", what's the one that's in your mind's eyes? The one you're currently living in? The one you used to live in sometimes during childhood? The place you never lived in but wanted to, for some reason?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The closest town to my parents' farm is Clintonville, pop. around 4,700. Next closest is Embarrass, pop around 300. Their closest neighbor is about three or four-tenths of a mile away.

3 Provinces, 3 cities (though one is a "city" in name only) and 1 town.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hi Nilly!
from all the places that you've lived in, when you say the word "Home", what's the one that's in your mind's eyes?
I love this question. For me, it's in flux right now. Fairbanks does pop up, but not often. SF is fast becoming the one that I visualize. Minneapolis never really stuck in my mind's eye - I always felt like a wanderer there.

from all the places that you've lived in, when you say the word "Home"
kind of everywhere I've lived...but the place in my dreams that is most often "home" although I never lived there is the house my grandparents lived in for 50+ years. My grandmother sold it a few years before she died to move into assisted living and it was torn down completely and grass planted where it stood a couple of years ago. But it stands in my dreams as home to me still.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now, I consider the city I live in now to be a city and not a suburb, because it didn't spring into being to house Big City overflow, but has a rich municiipal history all its own. But that might just be me.

The one you're currently living in? The one you used to live in sometimes during childhood? The place you never lived in but wanted to, for some reason?
Wherever Tom is, really. My parent's house isn't my home. I only lived there for 4 years before I went to college. Maybe the house we lived i before then... but I barely remember it.
Most of all, where I live now, feels like home. We own it, it's ours. It has all our stuff in it and it is so reflective of who we are. We have a stake in it.

Nilly, I still say home is Hawaii, but by now I've lived there far less than half my life, and my childhood house is someone else's now anyway. I'll join Nora in the sap and say home is with Kat, even though LA doesn't necesarily feel like home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I made a spreadsheet.
Which reveals:
- Countries: 4 (three more than once)
- States: 3 (one more than once)
- Parishes: 2 (in two different countries, one more than once)
- Boroughs: 5
- Cities: 13
- Counties: 4 (in two different countries)
- Islands: 4 (in as many countries)
- Provinces : 2 (one more than once)
Home is Jamaica, Montreal and LA.
