any wisconsinites on here yet in 2008?

[larasky]

anyone, anyone?

[rodmick]

Me me me. In the land of snow and ice.

[lowjax]

Yep - I'm digging out in Milwaukee. We have sooo much snow this year. I can't wait for spring.

[larasky]

ah, i hear you guys, the snow piles are ridiculously high here in oshkosh.

lojax: good luck with the birthday goal! my bday is march 20 and i'm hoping to lose 15 by then too.

[lowjax]

Good luck with your goal as well. Hope we both make it.

[GrooveJock]

I just moved from Atlanta to Green Bay.. BURRRRR...

[Carmen51]

Hi everyone,

I'm Northwestern Wisconsin - Eau Claire area. Lowjax, I feel for you - Milwaukee & Madison have been hammered this year. You guys have a lot more snow than we have. Groovejock - Atlanta to Green Bay is a huge change! Hope you're a Packer fan so at least you have some consolation.

Is Mother Nature getting senile? It's going to be 10 below here! This is March, right? Where's the global warming everyone keeps talking about?

I'm only about 30 min from you! :D Yes where is the warm up? It warmed up enough and now everything is ice.

[lowjax]

Hey everyone. It's good to see more Wisconsinites here.

GrooveJock - the move from Atlanta must be a little shocking for your body. Lots of nice cold weather now.

Carmen51 - I grew up near the Eau Claire Area. My dad has a farm out in the Menomonie/Knapp area. Spent the first 18 years of my life there. I'm going back up to visit from the 13th to the 16th of March to see them.

Rodmick - Glad to see you in the area as well. Don't you just love this global warming all these smart people are telling us we are having? :lol:

[Wifezilla]

I used to live in Wausau but moved because I was tired of freezing to death. Now I am in Colorado and the darn snow found me again. Must be time to move to Texas.

So you are a Wisconsinite - just living in foreign states. :lol:

[Wifezilla]

Once a cheesehead...always a cheesehead :D

[cleochatra]

I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There you weren'[t nursed with milk. Real Wisconsin mothers nursed us on cheese curds. That had to hurt.

I currently reside in the cheeseless state of Colorado, where I look for Johnsonville brats, and dream of 1982, when the Milwaukee Brewers took the pennant. Raleigh Fingers... Robin Yount...Laverne and Shirley...

I remember moving to Washington State at the tender age of 14. People made me talk for them (I had to say Schlameel Schlamozzel a lot). I could never find the "bubbler".

When people asked me if I wanted a 'pop', I said, "Are you kidding? Mine's at home, and one's enough for me, thanks."

[Carmen51]

It's a sad day for Wisconsinites and all Packer fans - Brett's retiring. I'm going to miss him!

Cheese curds :yum:

Brewers :thup:

I love Wisconsin

[cleochatra]

I love Wisconsin, too. That's where I learned to use my middle finger while driving. Those were tender years...

[Wifezilla]

Sounds like Milwaukee alright :D

I was born in Cudahy....where everyone's last name ends in "ski" and there is always a bar within stumbling distance. I learned to play pool as soon as I could hold the stick steady while standing on a chair. I can find the pissing frog on a can of Old Style in less than 1 second. I am also a 3rd generation league bowler...but I had to retire early due to carpal tunnel. Now I Wii bowl :D

[cleochatra]

OMG! I know Cudahy! I remember Kevin Lipski... He was cute. 6th grade.

I love Wii bowling. We can start a league. :D

[lowjax]

I've never Wii bowled, but I have done normal bowling. I'm terrible. I'm happy to break 100.

[cleochatra]

lowjax-- I'm abysmal with the bowling. My grade schooler out-bowls me. But I'm eating pizza for breakfast and she's not. We're even.

:lol: Pizza isn't just for breakfast anymore. :yum:

[lowjax]

How's all my Wisconsin peeps doing? :lol:

I know cleochatra is doing great. (I read your blog) :D

[Wifezilla]

My sister is finally giving up on Wisconsin and moving to Las Vegas. If it wasn't for the cold, WI is such a nice place....but 34 years of WI winters is enough for her. Hell, I bailed after only 19 :D

[lowjax]

We won't hold that against you. :lol: You are always welcome back to the Frozen Tundra. Once a Cheesehead, always a Cheesehead.

[Wifezilla]

Those 2 weeks in Spring after the snow melts and before the bugs hatch, as well as those 2 weeks in fall after the bugs die, but before the snow flies are awesome :D

[lccitygirl]

Hey! I'm from WI, too! I'm sick to death of the cold and snow, and now the mud. If I remember right, it started snowing in November, and we had snow on Good Friday. That means we've had 5 months of winter here!!!!

I think I need to have a brat for dinner! :)

[lowjax]

I thought we were having hamburgers for dinner??

[lccitygirl]

maybe I'll have to do both! :) mmmmmm...... :yum:

[lowjax]

No Brats for me, just burgers please.

[frothybake]

I'm not from WI but my entire family is, { eau claire, New Auburn, Colfax area} hope that will work to be included, I'm in Mn ,east central area, it is snowing up a storm right now!

[lccitygirl]

I just saw that on the news! I'm so glad we're just getting rain! I feel for you!

I was born and raised in Milwaukee too, oh and 1982 was even more perfect cause that's when The Who came to town and my friends and I all had tickets! Ya and the Brewers thing too.....

Now I live close enough to Wisconsin to Point and laugh.....I can be there inside of 2 minutes by car....

What chunk of Milwaukee ya from? I'm a Bay View-ite myself...though born on the East side....

[ProfGumby]

Cudahy? Didja go to UCLA University of Cudahy by the Lake Almost? (Cudahy High..)

I spent a lot of time in Cudahy at my cousins house, or at friends or riding the bike paths in Sheridan Park, on my way from Southshore to Grant Park boat launches and back...

[Wifezilla]

We moved to Wausau when I was 5, but we took several trips a year back to see grandma. When I turned 19 I moved to Colorado and mom moved back to Cudahy with sister and brother. Mom is a UCLA graduate, and so are my siblings.

Grandma used to live on E. Morris Ave. It was a short walk to Lake Michigan and the parks. We went to Grant Park all the time.

I lived in West Allis and in the Sussex area. West Allis was markedly different from Lannon/Sussex. I mean, we're talking the difference between buffalo chip flip and flipping people off.

[lccitygirl]

I spent my teen years in Sussex. Went to Hamilton! Though I spent the pre-teen years in Michigan. Now I'm married, and we've lived all around the area. Moved more times than I care to remember! :)

[cleochatra]

I went to Hamilton, too!!!

[kendallina]

I lived in Kenosha for over fourteen years and Whitewater (for college) one year. I now reside in Tennessee. Much different weather conditions! I felt so bad for my brother, who is still in Kenosha, this past winter!

[Wifezilla]

I lived in Kenosha for a couple of years. I learned to ice skate on a flooded field with the little warming house on it. It was near an elementary school on Ohio street.

[weasel!]

Yo, just found this thread. It's a lovely spring day in Madison. The dandelions and violets popped up all over my lawn this morning. I love em!

[cleochatra]

You lucky stinker! We're still in the throes of snows.

[Wifezilla]

Yeah...I have snow all over my dandelions. No violets though.

[HalfPass]

Somehow I have missed this thread. I am from Northern Wisconsin..we had some snow YESTERDAY!

[Carmen51]

Hi Halfpass,

I'm in Northern Wisconsin, too - Chippewa Falls area - in the country. Where do you live?

We had snow last Monday - everything was white. I had to admit that it was very beautiful, even if it was almost May at the time. My 14-year-old woke up and I asked him if he'd looked outside. He asked, in a very dejected voice "Did it snow?" When I said yes, he grumbled "I'm so sick of this". I think we're done with the snow now but it's far from warm yet. I only have leaf buds on my lilacs - it will be a long time before they bloom.

[HalfPass]

I live outside of Rhinelander on a small hobby farm :-)

[camaromom]

I just found this thread. I was born in West Allis. Lived in Milwaukee until age 5 when my parents divorced. Moved to Peshtigo and graduated from Peshtigo High School. Now I live in Indiana. I too can never find the "bubbler" and I almost sent "pop" out of my nose when I read the line about nursing on cheese curds.

[Carmen51]

HalfPass - I was only in Rhinelander once as a child because my parent's friends had moved there and we visited them. I don't remember anything about it. What is Rhinelander like? I know I would love a hobby farm - must be great!

[Wifezilla]

Rhinelander is like a mosquito farm, with cheap locally brewed beer :D

Heya Bulldog! Glad to see you found the thread! I had a delivery to your old Alma Mater last week and thought about you!

[Carmen51]

Sounds a lot like Chippewa Falls! Mosquitos, humidity, short summers, long winters, snow, cold, ice storms, days of clouds and no sun, constant road construction because of salt damage, high taxes, and low wages - so why do we live here?

[Wifezilla]

Hee hee hee...and people wonder why I moved to Colorado when I turned 19.
